| Montana Singapore |
Montana Singapore is an innovative modern cafe located in PoMo
Singapore. They are known for their signatures such as Red Velvet
Stacked Waffles and Jalapeno Mac & Cheese Waffles. To keep up
with the current market trend, Montana keep innovating new dishes to
their menu.

One of
the latest additions is their Freak Cakes. These mini artisanal 3 layer cakes is enough for 2 to 3 pax to share, on top of giving you
the WOW factors and IG worthy picture. We also sampled the Coffee
Kaya Coconut ($14.80). Made from Coffee Sponge, Kaya Buttercream,
coconut white chocolate glaze, gula melaka crumbs.

Smoky
Nutella ($14.80). A treat for the Nutella lovers. Nutella Sponge,
Nutella Lapsong Souchong Buttercream, dark chocolate glaze. The
combination of nutella with black tea (Lapsong Souchong) balanced the
sweetness nicely and manage the overwhelming flavour of the hazelnut.
This cake kind of remind me when LD having one of those days where
she just get a tablespoon of nutella and licked on it while sipping
her English breakfast tea.

Not to be
outshined by the cakes, the new menu items are also worth mentioning.
Montana Bangers & Mash ($18.00). An interesting all day brunch
type menu. The Italian sausage and chorizo hit the right balance of
spicy and succulent to be savour with the crispy wholemeal toast.
Meanwhile the century egg potato foam is soft and fluffy, as it was
put through the whipping siphons, it bring out the tanginess in the
century egg. It will take a few bites before you get used to the
century egg potato foam but I definitely enjoy the bread and
sausages.

Peking
Chicken Confit with Waffles ($16.50). Inspired by popular Peking duck
paired with modern cooking technique. The chicken is seasoned with
five spice powder and sous vide in oil resulting in crisp and
succulent chicken. Served with chives waffle, smoked ginger plum
sauce and coleslaw. Unlike the American version of Chicken and
waffles that does not sit well with me, the version in Montana does.
All the ingredients just come together perfectly. Smoky, savoury,
sweet, crunchy and succulent created the perfect fusion.

Miso
Brown Butter Linguine ($15.80). A very rich pasta dish, with Japanese
inspired ingredients topped with some egg porn. It combine miso and
butter tossed with al-dente pasta, garnish with Japanese seasoning
(furikake). A good and fulfilling pasta dish for carbo lovers.

Crab
Burger with Yuzu Coleslaw ($24). A solid burger, feels like you are
eating crab patties in between the buns. Thick, juicy with crab briny
flavour which can be mistaken for otah patty. The yuzu coleslaw and
raisin caper relish added some sweet and citrusy flavour plus crunchy
texture to the burger. The double fried fries was great and it remain
crispy even after we finish taking photos. Burger lovers, this dish
is a must try here.

Of
course, dining at Montana is not complete without trying their
signature Coconut Cold Brew. My pick is the Gula Melaka ($6.80). It
has a mild coffee flavour absent the acidity, a touch of sweetness
from the coconut water plus the aromatic gula melaka. Served with ice
ball, it was just so refreshing and good to cool you down during
these hot days.

The décor
of the restaurant is modern industrial. The high ceiling provided a
good canvas to put different types of lighting fixtures. The area
that we were seating has a very good natural lights through the
windows. The main dining area are open and you can see passers-by
clearly and the other way around as well. There is a staircase behind
leading to Anarchy Wine + Brew Bar, a new concept from Montana
Singapore.

Overall,
the menu from Montana really show their creativity and execution. The
food drew inspirations from our makan culture in Singapore, which
basically melting pot from “around the world”. The #freakcakes is
a must try if you are a dessert person. Cheers!!
