We kick-off the tasting session here with NZ Little Neck Clams ($12). A cream little neck clams, infused with white wine, garlic and herbs. The clams was springy and fresh, well coated with the creamy garlic and wine sauce. The crusty garlic bread on the side provide a good absorb the goodness of the sauce.

Winglets ($10). Each chicken mid wings are half, seasoned with cajun spice, coated with flour and deep fried. It crispy texture is just irresistible and actually good for finger food to go with your drinks. As the mid wings are half, the final product can be mistaken as frog legs instead.

Garlic Prawns ($12). One of the impressive dish on the night. The prawns are huge in size, juicy and brainy. The garlic oil did well to accentuate the flavours of the prawn, while the crusty bread provided a different texture to the prawns.

For something more exotic, you should try Chicken Heart ($7). Perfectly grilled basked with honey soy glaze. The crunchy exterior complements the creamy, velvety interior. Even a Japanese grill master can't do it any better. Kudos to the chef.

Chicken Heart

Red Dot Noodle ($26). According to Helen & Natalie, this pasta dish is the Fumée version Hokkien Mee. The al-dente pasta cooked with shellfish broth, topped with premier harvest from the sea such as Hokkaido scallop, tiger prawns, squid, and clams. A bit salty for my liking, but LD like it a lot.

Chilli Crab Noodle ($19). Fumée take on chilli crab. The base sauce uses blue swimmer crab meat to add the sweetness to the creamy chilli sauce. Meanwhile, for contrasting texture, it is topped with deep fried soft shell crab. It is a good rendition for Singapore favourite dish.

Mushroom Risotto ($16). One of the popular vegetarian dish at Fumée. The arborio rice cooked to al-dente while absorbing the stock. The risotto is creamy, pack with the flavour from the diced and parmesan cheese. They added a bit of truffle oil, however I find the flavour of the truffle is lost in this dish.

A gastropub meal will not be complete without a burger in the menu. Fumée Burger $16. A simple burger that let the ingredients speak for itself. The nicely cooked wagyu patties with a hint of pinkness in the middle, topped with a couple layer of bacon and cheese. Who can say no juicy, meaty and succulent burger. It will be a great burger experience if the sesame brioche was more crisp.

For local version of a burger, there is otak otak burger. Though it is not available on the main menu during our visit, it might be available on special. A solid muar style of Otah, in between buns. Good for those who like something more local.

The main protein for the night was US Angus Short Rib (for 2) $68. 700g USDA Certified Angus Bone-in Short Rib was sous-vide for 48 hours before finishing touch was applied on the grill. The result is the super tender fall off the bone meat that just melts in your mouth. The smooth mash potatoes and gravy provide a perfect companion to the dish. Two thumbs up for this short rib.

Our pick for the desserts was the Choco Praline Cube and Opera Cake. Their chocolates are solid and the sponge in between was delicate and moist. Of course if you prefer something fruity and light, you can try their Passion Fruit Panna Cotta.

Same desserts, different angle

Overall, it was a definitely a memorable dining experience. The food were great and the atmosphere was just comforting, especially with a live music playing in the background. The best part of course the food here is just value for money and a great place for friends to gather for nice food and drinks. So if you are around Millenia Walk or Suntec City give this place a try. Cheers!!
