SALTED & HUNG

01-01, 12 Purvis Street, S(188591) TEL: 6358 3130 The must-try here is the sizzling umami-rich lamb neck char siew, grilled on bincho charcoal. Chef Drew Nocente does seafood well, too, specifically the fresh New Zealand mackerel marinated in gin and salt. It’s grilled so that the skin is crisp and the flesh succulent. A visit here satisfies the eyes as well. Take your seat at the counter table to witness Nocente’s team prepare the food à la Top Chef and let your eyes wander the walls, splattered with quotes from the book, Animal Farm, by George Orwell.
