Hey hey everybody! I know I know, it's been a long time since I posted here. Anyone missed me? Haha!
Asides from our favourite activities of savouring exotic tea (Lotus Leaf Tea with Rose anyone?) and crafting whatever our clever little fingers can get on, one of our many other faves is sniffing out good and affordable food places. Here's one of the two that we've found whilst we were in our mad rush in prep-ing for two main year-end cosplay cons.
"Evolution Kitchen" was initially a "burger place" which one of our ex-colleagues had the pleasure to discover when it first opened up near our office area. Yes, "Evolution Kitchen" started off with burger mains and other Western mainstays. We tried out some of their signatures and they were all very well-done, like the Black Pepper Chicken Chop and the HLT sandwich. I particularly love the panini used for the HLT sandwich because it reminded me of what I had in one of the university towns in UK many years back. The husband and I are kinda UK food fans so, haha!

"Fire + Spaghetti + Seafood + Bonito Flakes" - though it had not been christened with an official name yet, one would be left wondering if this seafood-themed pasta would be a spicy one. I mean "Fire" right?
Chef Jay revealed to us the mystery behind it and wow, it's a great discovery indeed! He had in fact, created a predecessor of this dish for our very own President - Dr. Tony Tan, when he was in the UK for a state visit. Inspired by the then appetiser - created from Soba Noodles, Beluga Caviar, Nori Seaweed, Bonito Flakes and Black Hawaiian Sea Salt, this seafood-themed pasta was hence created!
The Black Hawaiian Sea Salt in this dish is from "Terre Exotique" (from what we can gather off the net, it seems to be a gourmet spice distributor from Spain/France). With its signature crisp nature, the salt not only added a much needed texture to the pasta dish, but its accompanying sweet hint amongst the saltiness is tantalizingly addictive as well.

The prawns and squids were fresh and chewy, harmonizing in perfectly with the al-dente spaghetti. The bonito flakes were fragrant and crunchy and the fish roe not only added colour to this dish, but whose freshness just keeps them popping amongst bites. Simply beautiful and marvellous!
Personally, I love to eat mushrooms and I was simply overjoyed when I saw my favourite mushrooms in this dish! They were fresh and fragrant, though they would have done better without the stalk, which seems a little too rubbery to chew on.
Burger and Western food lovers, do show your support if you happen to pop by the area! It would be a little difficult to find it at first as it's nestled comfortably and unassumingly in an industrial area (but that's the beauty of it too haha!). However, its prices and food quality would definitely make up for it as they're affordable and good. Talk about having stellar gourmet dishes while being easy on your wallet!
Speaking of which, they offer catering services too, which brings these delectable eatables right to the comfort of your home or your choice of venue!
