Foo’d By Davide Oldani, Singapore

Housed at the revamped Victoria Theatre and Concert hall, diners will be in awe by the sheer magnificence and beauty of the chic and sophisticated interior with Corinthian columns, high ceilings and a beautiful chandelier centerpiece which sets the mood for practically any memorable occasion.

Foo’d, conceptualised with Italian celebrity Chef Davide Oldani, chef-owner of the one Michelin-starred D’O in Cornaredo.

Foo’d is highly recommended for a wedding reception namely for the atmosphere and culinary expertise. Couples can choose from the specially pre set selections or consult with the culinary team to create a bespoke menu to your liking. For causal diners, tucked in a corner lies a hidden gem, Drink, where dinners can enjoy quality food and drinks at an affordable price. Hence, Foo’d and Drink epitomizes the restaurant’s founding principle of Cucina POP, which simultaneously means “for everyone” and “belonging to everyone”.

Be intrigued by their signature Caramelized Onion wrapped with a palmier-like puff pastry. The lovely crust pairs well with the soft and sweet delicate onion, toppled with a twenty months aged Grana Padano cheese mousse.  Experience a delight of sweet and savory, hot and cold, crispy and chewy in every bite. This dish elevates the humble onion to a prized ingredient.

Risotto with porcini mushrooms is aromatic, earthy, simple and yet so comforting. Perfectly cooked al dente Carnaroli rice, exquisite creaminess from the Granda Pandano and opulent shavings of black truffles makes this one of the best mushroom risotto in town. Additionally, it will be hard to miss the unique passepartout, a spoon, fork, and knife all rolled into one that can be well used on this dish.

Baked and Pan Fried Cod on a cauliflower puree – the buttery cod will lovingly disintegrate with the touch of the tongue. Foo’d’s Executive Chef Simone informed that the price of this particular type of cod is three times the cost of lobster. Extravagantly topped with caviar with side of asparagus to finish.

Slow Braised Beef Short Ribs is an absolute winner with Chef Simone masterfully slow braising the short ribs with coffee, giving an understated coffee aroma and a hint of bitterness to the dish. Additionally, the tender meat was topped with horseradish for a tinge of spiciness, whilst the ikura gave the dish a nice burst of saltiness. Sautéed vegetables includes baby carrots, asparagus and pumpkin. The edible silver leaf  and coffee foam makes this dish an instagram-worthy one.

Expected to receive beautifully plated dishes at this famed restaurant served with a touch of finesse by the well trained staff. End the night on a high note with Lemon Curd with Meringue and lettuce ice cream on a bed of cocoa crumble. Foodies will be awestruck at the balance of flavours cleansing one’s palate with sweet and sour delight.

Drink by Foo’d is quietly tucked at the side, a hidden gem for speakeasy, cocktail bars and affordable casual dining food. DRINK is helmed by award-winning mixologist Mike Cheong, who has multiple international and regional awards under his belt. Choose from al fresco seating, cushy couches or a seat at the bar where one can wind down a busy day in a mini-respite from the bustling heart of the city. Don’t be intimidated by the ‘bourgeois’ façade and assume the drinks would be pricey. For around $20, they will concoct a bespoke cocktail based on the diner’s preferences. The cocktail menu is inspired by Suits, a American legal drama, catering to the various law firms in the vicinity. Do pair the cocktails with a range of mains like pastas, pizza and sharing plates.
