FOO BRIGADE ROAD

After hearing some great reviews online and off about Foo on Brigade Road and also, in desperate need for treating myself to a good meal, I headed to Foo for lunch earlier this month. The place wore a festive look with string lights in the outdoor seating area. The atmosphere inside was pristine and comfortable. Really warm ambiance. Here's what I had and my views on them STARTER: Foo Crispy wantons...Truffle and Edamame..very nice crispy, crunchy stuffed wantons. I loved this. Three pieces only. Quite pricey for the portions and once in a while indulgence. MAINS: The much talked about blue butter rice. I liked this...bland but good but give me spicy good old fashioned fried rice from the desi Chinese outlets any day. DESSERT: For once, I moved away from my regular choice of chocolate desserts and ordered mango pudding. Plating was very fancy with dry ice and ice cream on the pudding. Taste was good but I've had better. SPECIAL MENTION: The accompanying sauces. Different types which included Fiery Jalapeño, Chilli oil, Imperial sauce and Sichaun Peppercorn Sauce. Each fresh and flavorful so I dint really need a gravy dish for the rice. Service was prompt. My table was wobbly but I had already started eating so did not want anyone hovering around for it to be fixed. Prices are on the higher side. Portions suited me for I went alone, but not sure how it works for big groups and people with a large appetite. Great place for catch ups especially if you go just when they open. It did get full quite fast. Would I recommend to others? Yes, give it a try if in the vicinity. Would I go again? Yes, curious to try their other dishes. Overall rating 4/5 My Ratings for reviews 1-No! No! No! 2-Just about average 3- Good. Can give it a try 4-Great!! 5-Yes! Yes! Yes! And I’ll tell all about it.
