2. Covid-19 stay-home guide: Irresistible earthy flavours[hhmc] ST PHOTOS: TAN HSUEH YUN
Chef Sebastian Ng is not a flashy character by any stretch of the imagination. But I have always thought of him as someone whom I can rely on to cook a solid meal, without frivolous bells and whistles. He established himself first at Ember and is now chef-owner of Venue By Sebastian in Downtown Gallery.
His food, and that of chef de cuisine Jonathan Lee, is well-thought through and perfect for coronavirus times. Options include buttermilk fried chicken, grilled pork, steaks and braised lamb. They sound basic, but have little touches that elevate them.
My meal starts on a high note with Taramasalata ($14) and it is not the meze as you know it, with the bread or potato base. Instead, it has thick and rich labne or strained yogurt cheese, topped with crispy quinoa, mentaiko XO sauce and tobiko.
