[The Pecking Order]
A cosy cafe by day to a small-plates bar by night, The Pecking Order transform itself during weekday evenings to serve up savoury dishes for the after-work crowd. That was what I needed after an exhausting day at work and thanks to The Entertainer's invitation, I got it.
Before I get to the food, I would like to mention how incredible the ambience of the establishment was! I'll save the descriptive vocabulary and show you pictures instead.
I liked how the area is so well furnished with comfortable seating and the artworks scattered around brings about a very vintage modern interior. They aim to create an atmosphere where everyone can come together to share good times and food. I believe that they have succeeded.
Yes, yes… Food.
Yes, yes… Food.
We were served an 11-course meal! Allow me to tantalise your tastebuds.
Burnt Aubergine with Piment D'espelette & Fried Garlic (S$10)
I didn't really get the flavour but I was brought up to eat my vegetables.
Roasted Potatoes with Blue Cheese, Black Truffle & Chives (S$12)
The aroma from this dish was so delectable! You can hardly go wrong with truffles and cheese. Absolutely delicious.
Mussels Escabeche with Shaved Fennels, Garlic Toasts (S$12)
I love mussels. It was a first for me to have them with garlic bread though, and it gave the mussels added sweetness.
Oyster & Prawn Fritters, Avocado Crema (S$12)
I didn't try this dish out because I detest prawns. No amount of oysters can persuade me otherwise. Next.
Salt Cod Fritters with Anchovy Aioli (S$10)
I liked the strong difference in texture between the crisp batter and fluffy fish flesh.
Pressed Sandwich of Sea Urchin & Coppa Ham (S$18)
It was my first time trying sea urchins and it was a pleasant one. A tad briny, but the sweetness did stand out together with the ham.
Sea Tiger Prawns with Crustacean Butter & Seaweed Sauce (S$16)
No. No. No. I won't! No!

Braised Lamb Ribs, Carrot Mash & Gremolata (S$24)
I love gnawing on a good lamb rib. This was definitely the standout dish for me. The flesh was so succulent and the carrot mash was delightfully sweet!
Grilled Kurobuta Pork Jowl with Honey & Soy, Red Cabbage (S$22)
The Pecking Order seems to enjoy infusing sweets into their dishes. Glazed with honey and soy, they sure went all out on these tender bite sized pork slices. Yummy.
Wagyu Hanger Steak, Red Pepper "Chimmichurri" & Portobello (S$28)
The beef was just chewy enough for my liking and the mushrooms were sour. I like sour. Another standout dish.

Chocolate & Salted Egg Custard Lava Cake, Vanilla Ice Creme (S$10)
I take pleasure in watching egg yolks flow. A great way to end the meal on a sweet note. (Well, most of the dishes were sweet.)
My accompanying grape cocktail for the meal.
