Iggy's - short review

i'm sorry. i really am. to everyone. to my readers. to myself. i honestly made an unforgivable mistake that i shouldn't have. it caused me much distress over recent weeks. i really feel terrible about it. so much so that i've actually been hesitating to post about it. ok, here it is. brace yourself.

i forgot to bring my camera to iggy's. yeah. the number 1 restaurant in singapore! rarrrr..

ok. since now that that's out, we can get on to the issue at hand. i only have one thing to say. iggy's is pretty damn f***ing good. it didn't make it to the world's 50 best restaurants for nothing.

i had it awhile back, and so at this point in time, i don't have all the specifics to post. we had the degustation menu ($195), and it was fantastic. there were SEVERAL courses which really blew me away. i specifically remember the blue fin tuna. what impressed me was the fact this i loved this dish. ok, i hate cooked fish in general (sashimi is ok). in fact, i really really hate cooked fish. so if you can get me to just eat fish, it must be pretty damn good. well, iggy's got me to love their blue fin tuna. it was incredible.

in addition, i remember they had this suckling pig which was the absolute best. the super super crispy skin on top with the ultimate melt-in-your-mouth pork flesh was just mind-blowingly fantastic.

unfortunately, they only offer the degustation menu at dinner. they have the set lunch for $55 (2 starters, 1 main and 1 dessert), which is quite a bargain. and they also have ala carte at lunch (ala carte to me usually means bigger portions. yayy).

so anyway, that's what i'm going back for. lunch some time. but for those of you that have some cash to spare, the dinner degustation is a definite must try.


overall degustation menu score 9.5/10
