Roughly 1.5 years because the restaurant first opened, Revolver in Tras Road has launched “Bullet 9” and can serve it till the tip of June 2023. That is the ninth iteration of their menu.
Tras Road is buzzing with eating places, boutique lodges and bars – with different institutions comparable to Levant and Hiryu simply close by.
The newest menu is a showcase of spring’s bounty and interpreted by the restaurant’s signature visceral type. Substances are sourced from the best seasonal picks from around the globe. As an example, their signature Paneer is air-flown to Singapore 3 occasions every week from Delhi.
Getting into the restaurant for the primary time and sitting by the counter, I couldn’t assist however discover how expert the workers members are with the flames. There are many alternatives for diners to witness the precise flame-grilling and even from my seat, I may really feel the warmth.
We began the meal with their signature Snack Field, a trio of canapes comprising the Curd Rice Caviar Poppadum, Prawn Balchao Monaka and Foie Gras and Corn Sphere. The monaka canape was particularly pleasant, and offered for a burst of flavors with the dried shrimp sauce, black pepper and vinegar coming collectively.
Subsequent got here the Maitake and Morel Nihari. The mushrooms are grilled nearly to a crisp however what made this dish in my view, was the normal Indian strew that got here with it. It was slow-cooked with inexperienced cardamom, mace and black pepper.
For cheese lovers, the Paneer, Pesto and Caecila’s Sambal offered for a global contact to the Indian cheese. The basil, olive oil and cashew pesto dressing dropped at thoughts reminiscences of an Italian cheese course. Then, there’s additionally a contact of sambal ijo on prime of the paneer. This was made by meals influencer @Singaporeliciouz for a little bit of juxtaposition. It was mild sufficient that it didn’t steal the highlight away from the cheese – contemporary and semi-firm to the contact.
My favourite dish from the dinner menu has received to be the Hokkaido Scallop and Mud Crab Moilee. The scallops and Sri Lankan mud crab bits are first served “dry.” Chef then is available in to “bathe” the dish with Keralan moilee made with coconut milk, curry leaves, ginger and mustard seeds. I actually liked the moilee right here. It was naturally candy and fragrant. I might think about it to be excellent to go together with a cup of rice.
This was my first time to dine at Revolver and given the inclination in the direction of South Indian delicacies, I used to be actually happy to search out loads of seafood objects on the menu. The Boston Lobster with Lemon Pickle possessed a piquant taste and was bouncy by way of texture. It’s served nearly utterly deshelled apart from the tail.
One other protein dish to be careful for is the Spring Lamb, Habanero Korma. The meat was amazingly smooth – I recall splitting it with my eating associate with little effort – and lacked any of the gamey style normally related to this meat.
We had been served the carbohydrate dish simply earlier than desserts, with Revolver’s signature flatbread or Kulchette full of Comte. It was served alongside Mangalorean-style ghee roast minced wagyu and bone marrow. I liked the flatbread, and I may see the way it was cooked in a standard tandoor oven earlier than serving. It was generously full of Comte cheese. On condition that the flatbread was already fairly filling in itself with the cheese, I discovered the minced wagyu and bone marrow a tad wealthy for this course.
We ended the meal with a dessert known as Textures of Alphonso. The mangos used got here contemporary from Ratnagiri in India and can be found for only some months of the 12 months. It got here with yoghurt sorbet, almond granola and popping sweet for added texture.
Except for the dinner menu above, Revolver additionally has a 5-course lunch menu that goes for S$119++ per individual. It’s a greater worth choice for many who don’t require a number of programs with the dishes possessing no overlap with the dinner menu. Highlights within the lunch menu embody the Japanese Aubergine with Tamarind Mash, Spanish Sea Bream Gujarat Kadhi and Australian Quail.
Revolver’s dinner menu ranges from the 6-course Discovery menu for S$169++, the 8-course Expertise mnue for S$229++ or go for the Omakase priced at S$299++. Wine pairings are additionally accessible.
