A wide variety of Delectable offerings

Begin a meal with the Warm Wilted Curly Kale*** ($18++). The wilted kale is lightly sautéed with extra virgin olive oil so as to preserve its nutrients and aroma. The kale is then tossed with baby piccolo tomatoes, which are cooked till the skin bursts and the juice oozes and clings on its leaves. Spanish onions are slow cooked over low heat, a process that draws out their natural sweetness, allowing the inherent sugar to caramelise.

Another delightful starter is the Burratta*** ($28++). A beautifully bouncy ball of burratta cheese served atop a garden of aged proscuitto ham, basil, vine tomato, and rocket leaves, this dish is a perfect blend of contrasting textures and complementing flavours.

Be spoilt for choice with a variety of main courses. Always a welcomed breakfast staple, the Smashed Avocado on Toast** ($18++) is made with creamy Australian avocados, free-range poached eggs and extra virgin olive oil. The ingredients are served atop sourdough toast, which is baked in-house using premium Italian flour.

The Little Joe’s Striploin (220g) ($36++) will please steak lovers. The free-range and grass-fed striploin is specially imported from Australia. Well marbled, the meat is seasoned with salt and pepper then grilled to perfection, and comes with a light beef jus made in-house.

The sweet-toothed can look forward to a repertoire of desserts, each with a healthy spin. The Superbee Manuka Honey Cake***($12++) is a layered offering made with Superbee manuka honey from Australia and caramelised condensed milk filling.

There is also the Tahini Brownie with Ice Cream*** ($12++). The chocolatey brownie boasts tahini, a Middle Eastern condiment made with sesame; and homemade halva, a Turkish confection made with sesame seed paste, sugar, spices and nuts. There is the choice of adding Hackney Vanilla Gelato from London at an additional $3++.

Not only that, the bartenders have swapped sugar for healthier-alternative sweeteners such as agave syrup and honey.  All the cocktails are also made with ecoSPIRITS, which eliminates packaging waste; each pour saves 30 grams of carbon emissions.

• Katong Old Fashioned ($18++): This offering pays tribute to Tanjong Katong, which used to be a massive coconut estate. Its marquee ingredient is the fat-washed coconut oil, which contributes a sweet note.
