Savoring Singapore: Ingleside's Culinary Magic
Nestled in the heart of Singapore's vibrant dining scene, Ingleside stands as a beacon of culinary innovation on Tras Street. This stunning white mansion is not just another upscale restaurant; it's a gastronomic adventure waiting to be explored. π Ingleside is all about the art of dry aging and the primal allure of direct fire charcoal grilling. Their homemade sauces, like chili oil and miso vinegar, are crafted through meticulous fermentation, adding layers of flavor to every dish. When I stumbled upon their menu featuring Spanish red devil prawns and dry-aged beef, I knew I had to experience it firsthand. And let me tell you, it was nothing short of extraordinary! π Our culinary journey began with a delightful surprise: a series of refreshing vegetarian appetizers. In a place known for its charcoal-grilled meats, these dishes were a testament to the chef's creativity. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, leaving us wanting more. The heirloom tomatoes π , paired with Spanish jamon and smoked, creamy cheese, were a burst of freshness. The combination of fresh and candied tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, and basil oil created a sweet, sour, salty, and fragrant explosion in every bite. Next up, the Oyster & Mushrooms dish was a revelation. Local mushrooms, smoked and grilled to perfection, were bathed in a rich sauce made from oyster juice and a fish sauce infused with dry-aged beef. It was a triple flavor punch that danced on our taste buds. The star of the show was the Tajima MBS 6-7 Koji Pianha π₯©. This dry-aged grilled beef, seasoned with special Japanese koji salt, was a masterpiece. The fermentation process enhanced the beef's natural flavors, making it melt in our mouths. Paired with creamy mashed potatoes and grilled onions, it was a dish to remember. The grilled octopus π was a visual and culinary delight. Charred to perfection, it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with sweet pepper and cuttlefish sauce adding a rich, sweet flavor. Dessert was a delightful finale. The deconstructed lemon meringue tart π, with smoky grapefruit ice cream, lavender lemon curd, and lemon meringue, was a refreshing treat. The smoked chocolate brownie π«, with Belgian chocolate, grilled pineapple π, and coconut foam, was a rich and indulgent end to our meal. At just 58pp++, this lunch was a feast for the senses, offering a full sense of ceremony and exquisite seasoning. Ingleside's dedication to culinary excellence makes it a must-visit spot for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience in Singapore. π π : Ingleside π: 49 Tras St, Singapore 078988 #SingaporeTravel #SingaporeCuisine #FoodieAdventure #InglesideExperience #CulinaryDelight #FoodiePotato
