I get to know about this cool futuristic bar, Fura through Forged by Vow. That’s the good part about being in Forged Club. I get to know about unique, exciting dining concepts.
At Fura, the deep passion the team has for their crafts is evident in the food, drinks and service. And this passion translates to food and drinks that are out of this world, full of dimension in the flavours and taste oh-so-good. Vegan in nature, the food here can actually triumph over many meat-based dishes due to the ingenious layering of robust flavours from the fields and gardens, with a good dose of Asian influences. Fresh, Natural, Daring and Exciting is how I describe the food here. I'm so impressed with the dishes I have tried. Best Vegan/Vegetarian food I ever have.
The drinks here is in another league of their own. Creative, daring and exciting, I have lots of my "first times" here in the drinks department. First time trying strawberry fermented "dirty" wine, first time trying champagne with kelp ice-cream, first time trying cocktail made from beans ... I look forward to experiencing other forms of "first time" here.
The service is absolutely wonderful. Andrea has so much passion towards her craft and the philosophy behind the bar. She is warm, friendly and professional, making awesome recommendations on the food and drinks. And the way she introduces the dishes and drinks really gets me all hyped about them.
I think I can say, this is most probably the best and my favourite bar. This is a must-visit for foodies.
The special appetizer only available in Tasting menu is beautiful in both looks and taste. This is like the gardens, full of vibrant colours and crisp, clean aromas. In fact, the herbs, flowers and plants are sourced from Fura’s backyard garden. Refreshing, uplifting and holding so many flavours from tang, savoury, sweetness to spiciness, this dish is one of top reasons why the Tasting menu here is a must-try.
A QUAIL WALKS INTO A BAR is intense umami manifested. Forged parfait, which is cultured Japanese quail, tastes like rich creamy vegan foie gras complemented by the crunch texture of earthy hazelnut biscuit and multifaceted flavours of malt apple and onion crisp. So flavourful, so sinful (in a good way) and so indulgent.
XOXO,TEMPEH is earthy goodness that has so many harmonious flavours and exciting textures. The mushroom xo tastes so amazing when paired with herbal, tangy, bombastic chimichurri. And the pomelo adds the lovely slightly bitter tang and fun in popping the sacs when biting into them.
MODO & PRESTO is wholesome Motherdough sourdough with a twist in its unique dips: the creamy pumpkin seed puree and slightly spicy capsicum with shio koji. The dips are so unique and delicious in taste.
Garlic Caviar, a specialty of Fura. The most guilt-free caviar, alongside tonburi ❤️
MILK/MYLK/MELK is Bewilder oyster mushroom with shallot, nut-milk dashi and slow-brewed mushroom broth. This is warm earthy umami that tastes so satisfying and makes me go “Wow, this is happiness.”
Carrot cake with sambal cream cheese and orange oil. Moist and rich, with a touch of savoury spiciness from the sambal makes this dessert so exciting and complex in taste.
Only available in tasting menu, Lemongrass ice-cream with caramel is a winner. The distinctive exciting taste of lemongrass is actually perfect marriage with creaminess of the ice-cream. I love this. Definitely one of the most memorable desserts I ever have.
KING BELOTE features the lightest chocolate made from zucchini. This is brilliant. And the porcini ice cream! It is delicious! Full of earthy umami of mushrooms. The crispy yoghurt meringue is like the perfect meringue to go with chocolate cake since its tang cuts through the richness of the chocolate to harmonise the flavours. 100 points on both taste and texture.
STRAWBERRY GENERATION 60 day fermented strawberry/cherry/red apple/vanilla is so refreshing.
CAVIAR PAPI with Grey Goose, green apple, lemon balm is a must-try here because it is so good and unique. Kombu ice-cream and black garlic caviar in cocktail? Yes! It works beautifully here!
BEANS,BEANS, THE MUSICAL FRUIT is Empirical Soka infused with essences from lots of beans, such as tonka bean, butter bean and pea shoot. It is beanlly beanlly good. I’m absolutely surprised by how good it is. Another must-try here.
NEW YUCK CITY of Empirical Ayuuk, seaweed, pineapple, lemon and grapefruit is packed with lots of flavours, made even more exciting with the white chocolate foam decked on top. So unique and so good.
SO YOU BOUGHT SAD CORN is stronger with Monkey Shoulder as base. Corn vinegar caramel, masa and corn husk meringue make things more interesting.
PICK ME UP is creamy goodness with slight astringent flavour due to the eclectic mix of Empirical Ayuuk, brown butter, custard, orange and Fura “coffee” that is make up of different kind of teas.
THE BLACKER THE BERRY 60 day fermented blackberry/ blueberry/ yam is sweet, tangy and refreshing. Perfect as dessert wine.
Pots of fresh herbs at kitchen counter ready for use in the dishes
Thoughts: Fresh, Natural, Flavourful, Daring, Exciting!
