Mish Mash - Fantastic Food and Cocktails

This restaurant is no longer in operation.

A look at striking fuchsia pink Logo of Mish Mash and then a scan through the menu with interesting, unique, appetising looking food items, I know I got to come here for a gastro-bar experience, where the food is as much as the focus as the cocktails. And just like its logo, the feel of this place is sassy, cool and stylish, with high tables and chairs beside the whole stretch of full height windows on one side, plush sofas on another side and at the front, a bar counter decked with bottles of concoctions ready to be mixed into a storm of flavours.

To keep up with the ambience, the presentation and taste of the food is an eclectic, awesome mix of European sensibility and sprinkling of Asian intricacies. It actually works wonderfully. I like how unique the taste and texture of the food here is while pleasing or ... teasing the palates.

And this is one of the few places where the cocktails are as much as the stars of the place as the food is. The cocktails taste exciting and intoxicating, yet at the same time, sweet, refreshing and soothing. It's a must to try the cocktails if here.

The service is fantastic. I'm so well taken care of by the service manager, Alex and the bartender. They are amazingly friendly, managing to strike up natural conversations with me, which is a feat in itself lol And very good food and cocktail recommendations made by Alex.

Kurobuta Pork is tender, moist and sweet, with a good measure of firmness for a good, hearty bite. Caramelised king trumpet adds the extra earthy sweetness and bouncy texture.  Dirty rice with charred pineapple is also delicious. It has the top notes of spiciness, and then middle notes of the fragrance of starchy fried rice develops along with the nuanced flavours of fried onion and spring onion.

An interesting assortment of cutleries to choose from. I decide to get the chopper-like knife to "hack" at my kurobuta pork 😜

Lovely Lusty Lemon cocktail made up of möet, chandon champagne, lychee and yuzu. This is so good! So refreshing, so floral, so exciting.

Spanish Manchego is goat's cheese tempura that comes with Italian truffle honey. This is one interesting, addictive bar snack. The tempura is very crispy, whose texture juxtaposes very well with the gooey, stretchy texture of machego cheese.

Squid Ink Totellini is lovingly handmade to be stuffed with diced crunchy, succulent prawns. The magic hiding within the tortellini is the zesty lemongrass for doses of simulating flavours. Lobster emulsion is full of subtle umami that beautifully softens the simulating taste in the dumplings for a more rounded taste. Highly recommend. By the way, the emulsion will taste richer when paired with Lusty Lemon.

Watch the blossoms in the cup turn blue.

Adam & Eve cocktail is interestingly served in a cloud of dry ice. And more interestingly, it is a junmai daiginjo sake cocktail, completed with tomato essence and seedlip garden to make this concoction sweeter and smoother than sake by itself. I love this too.

Strawberry Sensations features strawberries prepared in five ways: snow, mousse, gel, mochi, wedges. This is such a beautiful dessert in terms of taste. The mousse, gel and mochi combined to yield an ice-cream-like texture, without the coldness, that really brings out the aroma of the strawberries. The wedges, with a bit of toasty flavour, add dimension to the overall taste.

Just push open the wooden door located at the back of this counter to get into the restaurant.

I really enjoy my time here due to the fabulous food, drinks and service. It's an awesome place to chill and have fun due to the upbeat vibe here. Reservations is recommended for night time.

Thoughts: Great Time here!
