Open Door Policy
Yes... Yes... we all know I am an absolute SUCKER for trying new restaurants! I get super excited about trendy little hole in the wall places that open and am looking to investigate the menu.
ODP - Known as Open Door Policy is a new arrival on the scene in Tiong Bahru which is slowly becoming the neighbourhood where all the cool kids hang. A smattering of trendy cafe's have opened in this area creating a new reason to explore and be 'seen' in this part of Singapore.
Tucked away in Yong Siak street between old walk ups and corner food stalls ODP brings a little world of wonder, excitement and shabby chic to the neigbourhood. The chef is the Tippling Club's Ryan Clift who's take on food is great fresh thoughtfully prepared food that won't burn a hole in your pocket.
It is definitely a 'happening' place - by the time I arrived for my meal the restaurant was nearly full. I have to say it was pretty noisy and light inside so not necessarily a place for an intimate romantic meal but definitely a great place with an interesting interior and casual feel.
I tried the flamed tuna carpaccio with radish and yuzu salad which I thought was very clean and well presented but didn't rock my world the halloumi Cheese with olives white anchovies and crusty bread which I LOVED and for a main the 48 hour cooked braised beef cheek with moochi potatoes and carrot puree and the confit duck leg on a bed of lentils with sage and smoked bacon.
The Duck confit for me was STUNNING. Absolutely delicious.... and lets not forget desert... the chocolate and pistachio souffle with creme anglaise! Super light and super YUM! I could have eaten another one.
ODP does something a little different - it brings great food into the neighbourhood giving the diner a chance to experience something casual and different whilst eating great food and exploring a part of Singapore they may never have ventured before.
ODP is also home to a speciality coffee bar that is run by the founder of 40 Hands and the coffee is fantastic here!
Located at 19 Yong Siak Street TEL: 6221 0397 (make sure you book!)
all info is at www.odpsingapore.com
For a casual evening where you feel like you escape the streets of Singapore to a new exciting world hustling and bustling with people and great food then this is your place.
