Krish is located in one of the few English Colonial style alike houses in the West part of Singapore, Rochester Park, a short walk from the Buona Vista MRT station. The restaurant is illuminated with refracted light from the interesting downright hanging bottles of various shapes. Who says it must be chandelier?
Chapati ChipsThe first hint of the type of cuisine Krish is offering. It was nice and definitely a great snack for the hungry waiting for food to be served.
Appetizer - Roasted Onion & Garlic Soup Warm and comforting thick soup. I tasted a spoonful and the taste of parmesan was rather evident. It looked like lentil soup. The onion, garlic and parmesan gave the soup a unique taste.
Appetizer - Seared Foie Gras
Please give me another portion. I loved the seared foie gras, aka the 'fat liver'. It was very nice, the flavour and texture was virtually hard to describe. I can imagine the sizzling sound of the foie gras as some of the fats got purged out by the heat on the pan. It was so delicate and it simply melted in my mouth.
The naan underneath was coated with a generous spread of home made peanut butter, I tasted the crunchy bits of the peanut. The slightly sourish onions strips (probably with lime/lemon added) and the sweet pureed diced strawberries relieved the over richness of the foie gras. Must-TRY!
Appetizer - Hamachi Tartar
The greenish patch is pressed avocado. A light appetizer. You are seeing naan again. I'm sure by now, you would have guessed correctly the type of cuisine Krish is offering. It is contemporary European dishes with South Asian accent.
Naan, the flatbread, is one of the popular varieties in South Asian breads.
Seared U.S. Diver Scallops
Braised Oxtail, truffled lentils and parsley yoghurt
It was delicious. The sweetness and juice of the seared scallops concealed. What more can I say?
Herb Crusted Korabuta Pork Chop
The portion was big. Look at the thick cut of the pork chop. The herb crusted pork exuded a nice fragrance. Despite the desiccant look, the meat contained a fair bit of moisture. I wondered if the other fair bit got lost in the midst of cooking. And I also wondered if it was due to the thickness of the pork, somewhat the meat lacked the oomph! factor.
The tamarind risotto and the unattractive eggplant contributed the oomph! to the dish. The sourish tamarind enticed the taste buds and you wouldn't mind having more of the tamarind risotto. The mint emulsion served more of a decorative purpose to me.
Malleable Chocolate Ganache
Spice Port Granita and chocolate chip. Something different to end your dessert craving. I thought it was quite creative but is one that not many can appreciate.
Blackcurrant Parfait
I was expecting a tall glass, a parfait that was ice-cream layered with pudding, yogurt, fruits and drizzled with sinful syrup but no, it wasn't. Nonetheless, the cardamon-coconut ice cream was very nice. The purple domes made of blackcurrant appeared frozen but it was just chilled. I thought the ice-cream complemented the blackcurrant domes well. Interesting presentation, I thought.
If you are thinking of holding a party, be it your engagement or birthday party, Krish has a nice and cosy place for you to hold the parties.
Thanks to Krish for hosting the wondering dining experience.

But the quality of food from krish restaurant had dropped. Their korabuta pork chop doneness isn't up to standard, tasted their seabass too, felt that the freshness of their fish had gone, my wife ordered the snapper and found out it wasn't snapper at all, they are trying to use John dory fish in this snapper to cheat all the naive diners. It's not worth it to dine in here as they are cheating our money. Most of the mains I try, freshness isn't right. The chefs are intelligently using sort of curry powder n herbs to strongcast their "Turning bad food".
