You have read our epic articles on Café Iguana and Brewerkz previously along with an exclusive interview with Group Executive Chef Seow Tzi Qin, who is also the proud recipient of Savour BlackBookAsia Magazine’s “One To Watch” award. Now let us bring you a simply splendid combination of both establishments and Chef Tzi Qin, this time focusing on their Orchard Road outlets situated right next to each other. You will be stoked to know that if you are seated at Café Iguana Orchard branch, you can also order food and beverage from Brewerkz just next door and vice versa.
Let’s start with Brewerkz where an extremely wide selection of craft beers is available for your choosing. This microbrewery also has special and limited-edition beverages, like Lychee Amber, packed with flavours of lychee and tones of bread toast and light caramel, to spice up any occasion. Enjoy the best of both worlds and pamper yourself with a glass or jug of Tommy’s Margaritas served either frozen or on the rocks to your preference.
Pair your delicious drinks with superb and ingenious starters from Brewerkz featuring the Truffle Cheese Croquettes (Brewerkz), breaking out of the mainstream norm of truffle fries, this extraordinary appetizer is put together using truffle cheese gouda, crumbed with nostalgic crushed Hap Seng cream crackers from Chef Seow Tzi Qin’s childhood, and drizzled with truffle honey with a truffle mayo dipping sauce. Another interesting starter is the Triple Garlic Pork Ribeye (Brewerkz), drawing inspiration from the popular Szechuan dish, Pork Belly Slices wrapped around cucumbers with Garlic Sauce. The succulent pork ribeye is plated beautifully, drenched with garlic teriyaki sauce, topped with black garlic jam, and paired with garlic chips, gracefully showcasing the different ways of infusing garlic into the dish.
The Mixed Seafood Tostadas (Café Iguana) is highly recommended consisting of green mussels and king prawns tossed in Laksa sauce and then drenched in chili crab sauce, perfected with vegetables, tomatoes, and white corn. An excellent dish representing the modern fusion of Singapore’s local flavours with Mexican influence.
The must-try in Café Iguana has to be the Adobo Chicken Fajitas, featuring chicken breasts marinated in Ancho Chile powder and then grilled, served on a hot plate with habanero, jalapeno, green peppers, onions and not forgetting confit tomatoes. This dish synergizes flawlessly together with a side of cilantro rice or DIY and customize a wrap or burrito with the flour tortillas served.
End your meal by experiencing an exciting twist of the classic Italian dessert with the Oatmeal Stout Beeramisu (Brewerkz), using Brewerkz very own crafted oatmeal stout, baileys, and espresso.
