When you enter Enjoy @ Stevens, you feel like travelling back to the 80s and 90s Cha Chan Teng. The décor is retro, the utensils are ceramic plate disguise in old school melamine and the menu itself designed to look like the traditional Lunar 365 days calendar that our grandparents used to have. The music from the era of Hong Kong 4 heavenly kings will serenade you throughout your dining session. Hanging on the wall are animated posters showcasing the inspiration of the dishes created here.

Our meal started with Chef Joel's XO White Fish Soup ($10). The fish is fresh and silky, swimming in the cloudy broth. The milky colour in the broth is not from milk, instead, it is extracted from a long period of preparation and simmering. The broth tasted sweet and robust, infused by the Chinese cabbage, goji berries and a generous sprinkle of XO. It is comforting, delicious and slowly opens up our appetite.

Hainanese Chicken Satay ($10). It is well marinated with sweet spices, succulent and finished off with the signature charring on its exterior. The satay sauce is solid, with roughly grounded peanut and a pineapple puree. Completing the dish is homemade achar that nicely cuts through the sweetness in this dish.

Singapore Style Chilli Prawns ($22). This is a “die die must try” dish here. The prawns are fresh, crunchy and for those who like the prawn heads, you will definitely love sucking on these ones. The chilli sauce is bold, showcasing the sweet, tangy, spicy and eggy flavours. Don’t forget to order and crisp and pillowy mantou (50 cents per pcs, min order 4 pcs) to soak up the gravy. LD and I like the gravy so much, we simply slurp it till the last drop. Yummy!!

Grandma's Te Kah Bee Hoon ($14 for small). Fork tender braised pork leg that reminds me of the Thai version. The bee hoon exudes “wok hei”, smooth with a slight al-dente texture to it. It is served with Thai Style Green Chilli sauce, to spice up the dish and balance the richness at the same time. The Thai influence on this dish derives from Chef Joel’s experience in running a Thai restaurant.

Foie Gras with Truffled Sous Vide Eggs ($14). A different culinary style for this dish. We like the crisp and creaminess of the foie gras. However, I find the egg yolks are slightly overcooked. Maybe it is better, if they do a soft boil egg style, like in our Nanyang breakfast style.

Popiah Garden ($14) - Flagship exclusive. Old school style of ice cream served in popiah skin and drizzle with crushed peanuts and microgreens. There are three flavours of ice cream: blue pea, soursop and Horlicks with sea salt. The soursop and Horlicks are our picks as they have a stronger flavour, while the blue pea is very subtle. Best to finish the desserts fast as the popiah skin can get chewy after a while.

For the drinks, we tried Iced Thai Milk Tea and Pandan Lemongrass Tea. Both drinks are very fragrant and we like the fact it was not overly sweet. For the alcoholic drinks, the fully decked bar with Singaporean-inspired alcoholic beverages like Compendium Chendol Gin and locally-brewed craft beers from Lion Brewery Co. ready to crunchy your thirst.

Overall, we are impressed with the food served at Enjoy @ Stevens. The food is comforting and delicious, while Chef Joel unique twists and tweaks elevate the dishes to another level. The Singapore Style Chilli Prawns are a Die Die Must TRY dish. We will be back to try the rest of the dishes in the near future. Cheers!!
