Best Thing We Ate This Week: Tom yum pumpkin fettucine at HRVST
SINGAPORE: Nosotros realise that the old trope near vegan food equalling bland flavours is wearily outdated. Just, admittedly, we are shallow, biased carnivores who found ourselves surprised that the best thing nosotros ate all week was this hearty pumpkin pasta bathed a rich, tangy tom yum-inspired goop. For meaty heft, there were chubby strands of shimeiji mushrooms, crisp ears of baby corn, and a creamy wedge of roasted pumpkin.
HRVST (like "harvest" for dyslexics) is a hidden gem tucked abroad on the 5th storey of OUE Downtown Gallery. Chef-partners Addis Tan and Dylan Choong established the eating place to debunk the very notion we've long held: That vegan or vegetarian fare is, in their ain words, "bland, ho-hum and, ugh, but a salad".
Harnessing what they've learnt at stints at hip, modern restaurants similar Tippling Social club, Esquina and Cheek By Jowl, the pair have created an impressive menu of satisfying dishes.
It'south hard to experience hungry subsequently noshing on a platter of BKT Barley Risotto (South$16), the fat, tender grains suffused with the flavours of bak kut teh, sans the pork bones, of class. Coriander and garlic oils give the dish a lovely, savoury unctuousness, while fried daikon, shaved baby radish and braised peanuts provide gratifying texture.
Happily, alcohol tin be vegan too, so even if you lot're not convinced nearly vegan food, come for the list of 10 vegan cocktails that include offerings like Surreptitious Garden made with rum, clarified green apple juice, cinnamon syrup and aquafaba (for those uninitiated to vegan-speak, that's the liquid that you observe in a tin of chickpeas, whipped to a thick foam).
That'due south the other affair that HRVST has got going for it: A splendid al fresco rooftop bar where patrons can drink abroad the assaults of the workday, away from the crowds, blissful in the knowledge that no animals were harmed by their hunger today.
