Interactive Dining Experience @ Absurdities Food Review
After snapping some shots for the gram, we made a left turn and found ourselves in another world - the one with the Tree Of Old.
The next room was hidden behind a concealed door, and I found myself stepping into a tent in the middle of an imaginative sandy desert. Our third course was the Smoke Quail Tajine where we were served a quail on top of smoked tabbouleh salad and falafel. The quail was extremely juicy, and when dipped with the pomegranate ketchup, absolutely spectacular. For drinks, we enjoyed the Tamarind Be Upon You which had tamarind, fresh pineapple juice, memento, agave syrup, coriander, and salt.
By the third course, my tummy was already almost full! But we still had the next room to go to. After climbing up a ladder and through a little hole in the wall, I found myself in the fourth room! The fourth room transported us into the 1950s - or specifically a kitchen from the 1950s with bright pastels, electrical appliances, and faux brick walls. We were served our drink first, called Death In The Afternoon. This drink was one of the strong ones as it was a combination of pinot grigio and vodka, and you could also taste hints of lychee and pear.
Our fourth course was very quirky because it came served as a bowl of cereal, but it was actually Mama's Famous Cereal Chicken Pot Pie! We poured the 'milk' which was actually cauliflower puree into the bowl, mixed it all up, and into the tummy in went.
My stomach was almost bursting by now, but I was still super curious to see what was next. The door to the fifth room was located under a table, and we had to frog walk to enter it! Now we were inside a room that looked like a set straight out of a Harry Potter movie. We were greeted by our friendly sorcerer who served us the Mortar Purple Squid Risotto with purple carrots, celeriac, uni, and parmesan crumble. It also had these isomalt lime glass toppings that resembled glass shards, and you had to break them into smaller pieces before mixing them into the dish. How creative!
We also enjoyed one of my favourite drinks of the nice was the Umami Bomb which had an interesting mix of black garlic, concord grapes, tamari, and cold-pressed beet.
The final course was served in the first-class cabin of a plane, and boy did I feel the wanderlust! Our very chirpy flight attendant accompanied us safely through take-off and served us our dessert, the First Class Gold Leaf Jelly Telephone. The lychee jelly was shaped like an old school telephone and sprinkled with 24-carat gold leaf, French elderflowers, verjus rouge, and Bombay Sapphire. The dessert was paired with Bubbles - a sparkling and refreshing prosecco.
I don't think I've ever had a dining experience as interesting as the one at Absurdities. Everything was amazing from the decor to the food and the service. Everything was thought out so carefully and creatively to ensure that diners were in for a surprise in every room. I really appreciate the little details and hard work put into making this an absolutely out-of-this-world experience. This was the best S$368 I've ever spent!
I can't see any reason why I wouldn't recommend Absuridites, and you should definitely try this at least once in your life.
That's all for today's review, thank you for reading and see you next post!
