SAVOUR 2014

Last year, I had attended the very first SAVOUR event in Singapore and was blown away with the food and the things to buy! And this year, I MUST and attended SAVOUR again! This time round – I managed to get in for Friday dinner and Saturday lunch!


More SAVOUR Dollars and can EAT MORE! Yummy…. Yummy…. Yummy….

There is this food truck outside of SAVOUR event on Friday evening, called The Travelling Cow! They will be located at Promontory for the whole month of March. I didn’t manage to take a clear picture of the burger that we bought – Wagyu Beef Burger – Ansley loves this! (That’s why can’t take a clear picture! He was literally trying to snatch!)

But we managed to find their signature on Facebook – Ramen Sliced Wagyu Beef Burger. And luckily, we tabao the Ramen Wagyu Beef Burger home, it was super delicious! I considered the burger my favorite dish for the night! The ramen remains crispy even though we brought it home to consume. The sweet mayo sauce for the burger is superb! I hope I can get a bite of it again… Yum…. Yum….
 
Then here comes the Stellar Grill which is always a long queue when we are there. They offer a Stellar Grill platter where you can taste 3 different types of meat – Roast Pork (so juicy and crispy – Ansley’s favourite!), Braised Short Rib (so flavorful) and Grill Beef (so tender)!

 
We also had Crab Linguine. Oh my Gosh! It is mouthful after mouthful of crab! My mouth is empower by the crabby taste, this is definitely not one crappy dish!

We tried Éclair d’ Escargots too. This is something that I wanted to try while I was doing my research on the internet as it is so interesting to have Éclair in a savory form. However, it is overly savory, TOO SALTY, so I was pretty disappointed after my first bite!

Fortunately…. The dessert ends our day on a good note! Mao Tai has a very interesting taste and a very nice fragrance. It is a mixture of Calamansi, Kaffir Lime, Lemon and Preserved Kumquat, and you can find popcorns in it too and Mao Tai foam. This East meets West concept is very refreshing and quenching in such a hot weather.

It was a great Friday night and looking forward for Saturday’s lunch! Too bad, didn’t take much pictures for Friday night except on my cutie boy!

Despite the weather is super hot on Saturday, but it is also another fruitful day for food! We managed to get some pocket recommendation from the staffs the night before, so not much time are wasted in thinking what to get!

Foie Gras Terrine Tempura is the highly recommended dish! And after tasting it, it became my favourite for the day! The tempura crust is very fragile, it breaks when you gently bite on it and the Foie Gras melts in the mouth. You can have it plain or you can dipped on the lobster mayonnaise which is not too much!

 
At the same store from Chef Emmanuel Stroobant, we also ordered a platter which consists of two different dishes.

This is a perfect dish in such a hot and sunny day – Low Temperature Prime U.S. Beef Rib Eye! Very interesting to serve beef in a salad form! Cooling and refreshing with the asparagus and carrot served together!
 
 
The other dish is Organic Lamb Short Ribs Crusted with Five Spices. I’m okay with it only! Not much of a WOW factor! So can skipped!
 

 
I picked a beautiful looking dish from a Michelin chef -- Crispy Roll of Barramundi! Looks like a dessert, but it is not. It is pastry rolled with some fish in it, served with mashed potatoes and fruits. Other than the colours are popping, the taste did not really popped!
 

 
Molecular “Xiao Long Bao” is not something new to me! I had this last year at SAVOUR, and just have to get one this year again! It’s the gastronomy food – no meat inside, no vinegar and ginger at the side. But when the skin burst, you can taste meat, vinegar and ginger in the liquid. Unbelievable sensory experience!  THUMBS UP!
 
 
Another recommendation by the staff is Triple Cheese Truffle Toastie. Simple comfort food that brings lots of comfort! The bun is soft in the inside and crisp on the outside! Cheese and truffle never goes wrong! TOTAL CLASSIC!

 
Tentative end with Apple Mousse. To me, it is a bit too sweet, so I didn’t really enjoy myself!


 
Our final ending Sashimi and grilled Wagyu Beef before we head home! Familiar food, but of super good quality! Just eat it the natural way! No seasoning required!
 
 
There’s too much food, and we couldn’t try every single one of them. However, we managed to snap some foodie pictures.


 
Other than eating, there are also classes available for the guests. And we only managed to attend the class conducted by Nespresso and we got caffeine high after fives cups of espresso from the class.


 
 吃饱喝足! A super fantastic weekend! Darling, Ansley and I can’t wait for next year’s SAVOUR 2015!
