BLACK SWAN, THE

19 Cecil Street, S(049704) TEL: 6438 3757 theblackswan.com.sg

The Black Swan is a popular restaurant for after-work drinks and dinner. Start with the fresh, plump scallops, which are beautifully seared and finished with a smooth corn purée. Meat lovers will do well to order the Tajima wagyu striploin, which is wellseasoned and grilled to medium-rare to let its natural flavours shine through. A healthier but no less delicious option is the roasted cauliflower steak—its earthiness pairs perfectly with the puffed grains and the maitake and polypore mushrooms. One satisfying finish to an excellent meal is the addictive cookies and cream.
