Finally, we are able to gather for a meal at one of my favourite places; Birds Of A Feather. Let's eat up a storm! And, we did.
Cocktail
 |
| Godfather of Sichuan @$30 |
 |
| Irish Tea @$25 |
 |
| Someone Like You @$23 |
Didn't try the cocktails though because all of those were ordered by my friends. I imagined if one places an order for the cocktail, will probably need to phrase their orders properly. For example, imagine if someone tells you, "I'd like to order Someone Like You..." Will you raise an eyebrow at that? Haha!
 |
| HH Brewerkz Golden Ale Full Pint @$12 |
Bang Bang
 |
| Bang Bang @$14 |
 |
| Cold Dressed Chicken, Mustard Green, Peanut |
 |
| mix well and enjoy |
Bang Bang is a new item and my first time trying it. Chef Eugene explained that the edible 'coaster' is made of peanuts and one is supposed to smash it before having it with the salad underneath. I like the 'coaster'. Tasted of peanut butter!
Find the Chicken in the Chillies
 |
| Find the Chicken in the Chillies @$19 |
This one need no introduction and my must-have every time I eat at BOAF.
Yu Xiang Eggplant (V)
 |
| Yu Xiang Eggplant (V) @$17 |
The eggplant dish is looking very different now. It has baby mozzarella, spring onions crumbs (that tasted like cookies) ontop and hiding the Japanese eggplant. Mix it all up and enjoy.
 |
| flavourful eggplants |
Burratine & Tomato (V)
 |
| Burratine & Tomato (V) $26 |
Chef Eugene was explaining about the special tomato used in the Burratine dish and we were sold. Hence, we gave it a try. It was a good choice.
 |
| juicy sweet tomatoes |
And, to have the burratine on a crisp toast with a slice of that tomato, it was heavenly. What a joy to eat. Thank you for the recommendation, Eugene!
Strange Flavour Prawn
 |
| Strange Flavour Prawn @$42 |
Ok, I must admit. Am not well versed enough in the vastness of Chinese cuisine, so when I saw a dish named as "Strange Flavour..." my mind was having a shutdown. Like, why would I want to eat strange flavours? So, its name is a literal translation of guaiwei 怪味 which is a seasoning mixture in Sichuan cuisine. Orhhhhh.
The prawns were lovely and nothing strange about the flavours. It was somewhat sweet with a touch of spice. Prawns were of a good size, fresh and firm.
Loup de Mer
 |
| Loup de Mer @$89 |
When you're reading the menu for Loup de Mer, it says "Whole European Seabass, Denise Pesto, Sweet Vinegar Joyn Tomato, Celtuce" . Then, if you're like me, you'd do a double take at 'Denise Pesto'. Aptly named as such because, the pesto sauce was concocted by Chef Denise. She's lovely.
Homestyle Braised Pork Belly
 |
| Homestyle Braised Pork Belly @$58 |
 |
| with winter truffles |
This dish is surely a head turner when it was brought to the table. We could smell the aroma when the lid was taken off. And, we were in luck as the winter truffle was still available then.
Staff would assist to mix the ingredients. The braised pork looked like dongpo meat but not that sweet, and it was fork tender. You'll get burnt rice from the sides and bottom of the pot too. Yummy!
Pear & Jelly
 |
| Pear & Jelly @$18 |
 |
| Glutinous Rice Cake Rock @$17 |
I think I fell for the Glutinous Rice Cake Rock dessert. I could never imagined it as such, but loved the crisp outer of the cake and the soft, light texture of its inside. Looked and tasted like smokey mochi but doesn't feels 'heavy'.
I love how Chef Eugene innovates for the same dish. For example Yu Xiang Eggplant, be it the elements in the dish or the presentation, there's always something new even if the dish name is the same.
Once again, we were happy to be able to dine in a group, in a comfortable environment, and with lots of good food.
Thank you foodie friends for taking time for this catch-up. Special thanks to Eugene for feeding us, as always, and looking forward to your new creations. Till next time.
