Does the name Jason Atherton sounds familiar to you ? Yes first he opened the popular Esquina which is nearby, then follow by Pollen at Gardens by the Bay and now Keong Saik Snacks. The bistro is pretty small accommodating a maximum of 30 pax. This was my first meeting with Emily and the main reason why we settled here was because they opened till late so this was a great night dining place.
The menu was pretty simply and they mainly serves classic comfort food with a modern twist from around the world. We didn't ordered the signature DIY Tuna Tartare and Jason's Very Hot Dog, instead Emily had the "A Very English Breakfast" and I had the "Lobster Roll" following by the homemade ice cream which I find it yummy. The food portions are small since they are supposed to be snacks and presentations are as beautiful as the industrial-chic decor.
Besides having our dinner, the interesting part is that somewhere next door is "The Library" where you can continued the second part of the night reading or drinking. The Library is a free reference library dedicated to the creative fields of architecture, design, art and photographs. The wide variety of books were choosen by many creative professionals for The Library's collection. I spotted a few of my favourites on the shelves and the creative work by Dawn Ng on the wall. Recently The Library is having their pop-up store in Sunny Hills @ Raffles Hotel Arcade till 15 May, be sure to pop by soon.
