Lunch at Maru Dine and Bar @ Tanjong Pagar


12 Gopeng Street #01-05 Icon Village, Singapore 078877
Tel: 6327 1163



A contemporary Asian-fusion restaurant opened by a local celebrity and located in CBD area, Maru Dine and Bar serves a variety of creative cuisine blend of American, Japanese and Vietnamese. One could find light bites, rice bowls and pasta on the menu.



Interior is furnished beautifully in elegant black and white tones. Service was excellently provided by an efficient and polite crew.






We started with some Salad. Each main dish comes with free-flow salad so eat your hearts out. The variety comprised Mixed Mesclun Salad, Bamboo Shoot in Wasabi Sauce Salad, Fusilli Pasta Salad and Balsamic Mixed Beans Salad. Taste was good and the ingredients were fresh.



Truffle Chawanmushi (SGD$8.00), the most adorable I have seen so far - a set of 2 served in egg shells on cardboard egg trays. Texture was smooth and the earthly truffle notes were light and lingering, not overpowering.



The Crispy Soft Shell Crab Pasta (SGD$16.00) was exactly that - crispy and flakey, pleasant salted egg pasa adding more flavours. The pasta was served piping hot, springy in texture and made delicious by fine julienne gizarni chill.




Finally, Uni Ikura Angel Hair Pasta (SGD$26.00) - think cold strands of al dente capellini with caviar, truffle, sea urchin (uni) and shio kosho - the dish was decadent and scrumptious.

Overall dining experience at Maru Dine and Bar was good, from food to service to ambience. I an glad my friend suggested it.
