AMAZING
1st SMOKED PORK MOLLETE
Tortas Frontera by Rick Bayless, Chicago
Smoked pork loin, artisan Jack cheese, chipotle-fig spread, cotija cheese, cilantro. An incredible symphony of flavors atop a piece of warm bread that exploded in my mouth with an out-of-this-world salsa. As wonderfully smoky and spicy as any edible dish can get.
REALLY GOOD
2nd BLUEBERRY SPECIAL
Cotta, Kuala Lumpur
Fresh Blueberries | Special Homemade Blueberry & Flower Jam | Mint | Lavender | Freshly made Ricotta | Sourdough Bread
3rd TUSCANY
Cotta, Kuala Lumpur
BRIEF: “Capers infused sundried tomatoes | Local cherry tomatoes | Mushroom medley | Sarawak black pepper | Balsamic reduction | Fresh basil | Sous-vide egg | Freshly made Ricotta | Sourdough bread” SOOT’S TAKE: Perfect first meal to begin the day!
4th BEETROOT TROUT
Dewgather, Singapore
BRIEF: “House cured trout with beetroot, 63 degree eggs, lemon pith, dukkah, pickled beetroot, Persian fetta, sourdough.” SOOT’S TAKE: Something different and I don’t hate it but not legendary enough for me to blow another $27 on a sandwich. 😳
PRETTY GOOD
5th PRAWN WITH LEMON MAYO ON MULTIGRAIN TOAST
Le Méridien Singapore, Sentosa, Sentosa
Prawn with Lemon Mayo on Multigrain Toast. Bread was too dry :(
6th THE MILLION-HAIR JOURNEY SERIES SOURDOUGH BREADS
Salad Atelier (The Starling), Petaling Jaya
Collab between SA and 2 international hair care brands to promote healthier, silker and manageable hair through the use of ingredients “high in vitamins, antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids and more.” I picked salsa guac and salmon guac on sourdough and preferred the former for the salmon was too fishy-tasting 😖Nevertheless, a good deal for the promotional price of under 7 SGD (even though my sourdough is definitely better).
7th SMOKED SALMON
Cotta, Kuala Lumpur
BRIEF: “Thickly sliced locally smoked Norwegian salmon | Sous-vide egg | Smoked salt |Nori | Freshly made Ricotta | Sourdough bread” SOOT’S TAKE: Not bad but definitely surpassed in flavor and originality by its vegetarian cousin, Tuscany.
8th BREAD AHEAD’S PROPER BRITISH BEANS ON TOAST
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Baked beans on sourdough toast, re-toasted along with melty mature cheddar with garlic & herbs. A down to earth repast that took care of lunch & dinner, and of course, I used Heinz. ☺️
9th PAN-FRIED HALOUMI ON TOAST WITH MUSHROOMS, AVOCADO HUMMUS AND ROCKET
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Oyster mushrooms for umami, haloumi for salt, and creamy avocado hummus for well, general deliciousness, atop crusty toast. Topped with rocket leaves that look like they’ve given up.
10th SEAFOOD TOAST
Ah Hua Kelong @ Riang, Singapore
Ebiko | Quail Egg | Prawn | Avocado | Sourdough
11th OPEN SANDWICH WITH NORWEGIAN BROWN CHEESE ブラウンチーズ . オープンサンド
FUGLEN COFFEE ROASTERS, Kawasaki
Norwegian brown cheese on slices of bread with nuts and dried fruit. What were the chances of the only Norwegian customer there taking a seat next to mine and of us conversing over this nutty Norwegian cheese in a Norwegian cafe in Tokyo??
