Senayan City - Urban Kitchen, Indonesian Food

On a recent business trip to Jakarta, my work colleagues treated me to some traditional Indonesian cuisine.

Sop Buntut - Oxtail Soup

Buntut Goreng - Fried Oxtail

Iga Bakar - Grilled Spare Ribs

Sate Ayam - Chicken Satay

Nasi Timbel with tempe - Fermented Soy Bean

Ikan Asm - Salted Fish

Sayur Asem - Tamarind Soup

Ayam Goreng - Fried Chicken

Nasi Timbel - Rice wrapped in Banana Leaves

Gabo Gabo - Vegetables with Peanut sauce

Sagu Rangi (Grilled) - Tapioca Dessert drizzled with melted brown Sugar (Yum!)

As I mentioned, it was a feast! And the food was fantastic, I would recommend any of the dishes, but my favourite was the Iga Bakar.

Stingray and Gluttons bay

Gluttons bay is a Makansutra sponsored Food Court. Makansutra publishes food guides and celebrates Asian food culture and lifestyle. Subsequently, this is meant to be one of the best food courts in Singapore, so I took the opportunity to try Stingray... and... I thought it was delicious!

Apparently the seasoning and marinade helped, but I thought it tasted great. Tasty, meaty, not very fishy and no bones, all things I look for in fish dishes!

I had a portion of White Carrot cake on the side, not that great, check out an early post to find out more about carrot cake.

Definitely worth a trip.

Whilst visiting Gluttons Bay I was lucky enough to catch the end of The Trees & The Wild playing at the Mosaic Festival.

Tin Tine

Chicken Tikka Pasta from one of my favorite restaurants, Tin Tine (Herbs and Spices Group)

This place does Indian, Italian and an Indian/Italian Fusion, a bizarre concept, but it works.

Both nations love their food with a passion and they are both one of the most popular cuisines in the world, so why not marry them together?

If you don't agree with the concept, it's worth trying Tin Tine for their Italian dishes alone. I have really struggled to find good Italian food in Singapore, but these guys do a great job.

Shrove Tuesday

In the UK, the day before Ash Wednesday, the first day of lent, is Shove Tuesday or Pancake Day! A tradition of eating and celebrating before the fasting that (is meant to anyway!) take place in for the 40 days of Lent.

We celebrated here in Singapore. It was a feast of sweet and savory pancakes, my favourites being, Cheese and Tomato, and Vanilla Ice cream, Sultanas, and Baileys!

Sunday Lunch - The Dubliner

The Dubliner Sunday Lunch, this place has got a reputation for doing good Sunday Roast dinners and it didn't disappoint.

Choose 2 out of the 3 meats on offer, I chose beef and Lamb, (the beef was actually frying steak, but you can't have it all!)

Someone in the party din't like Yorkshire puddings! What is that about?! So luckily I had 2!

Chicken Feet and the Singapore Food Trail

This is a new Food court that has opened under the Singapore Flyer. It is a retro 1960's theme, based on classic Singapore street food.

We had Hong Kong Dim Sum, and tried Chicken Feet for the first time. Hmmm, what can I say about them? Not great, not much meat, a bit slimy and lots of bones.
