Jelebu Dry Laksa - Premium Seafood Dry Laksa

 Jelebu Dry Laksa - Restaurant Front

I was wondering around VivoCity when I chanced upon the grand opening of a new restaurant, Jelebu Dry Laksa.

Chef Renee Tang came up with Jelebu Dry Laksa during the height of Covid-19 pandemic back in 2020. Her creative spin on the classic laksa was an instant hit among Singaporeans and she was featured in numerous articles.

I have not had dry laksa before so I made a trip to VivoCity to try Jelebu Dry Laksa.

The Food

Jelebu Dry Laksa - Scallop& Otah Pillow

Jelebu Dry Laksa has lots of interesting appetizers, all of which look really appetizing. I got Scallop & Otah Pillow[S$18 for 3 pieces] because I love scallops and it sounds so exquisite.

The fresh Hokkaido scallop is slightly seared and topped with avruga cavier for an extra touch of luxury. The otah mousse gives it a little spice and creamy kick while the nori cracker gives it a nice crunch.

The main course is undoubtedly  their dry laksa. You get to choose the accompanying ingredient, between tiger prawns, lobster and crispy ebi.

Jelebu Dry Laksa - Butter Poached Half Lobster

This is Butter Poached Half Lobster Jelebu Dry Laksa [S$38] .

This is my first time trying dry laksa and I am supposed to find that I like it more than the soup version. Chef Renee’s closely guarded rempah recipe coats each strand of rice noodle with an intoxicating mix of herbs and spices. The crunchiness of the deep-fried baby prawns gives another layer of enjoyment to the dish. The juicy and firm lobster meat elevates the humble laksa to a whole new level.

Jelebu Dry Laksa - Kaya Goreng

The dessert Kaya Goreng [S$12] is unlike any dessert I have had. I love the kaya coconut mousse in mini chocolate cones which I can finish in one bite. The coconut ice-cream with chocolate soil and salted peanuts is a nice accompaniment.

Jelebu Dry Laksa - Renee's Infusion

Renee’s Infusion [S$5] is a mix of osmanthus and chrysanthemum with rock sugar and goji berry. This is a time-honored herbal tea recipe that helps to cut through all the greasiness. You can top-up $1 for a shot of Jia Jia Liang Teh which should blend effortlessly into the drink.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
