Above the crab, there is the aerated shrimp which is a nice mix of crispy bits of the shrimp head and slight creaminess of the shrimp paste. Beneath the cocktail glass is strands of crab, either locally farmed or Sri Lankan flower crab. It is quite a surprise as I am not even a cocktail person, but the only element closest to a cocktail is the Bloody Mary tomato. The first course proper is The Cocktail, which turned out to be one of my favourite courses. The green sauce on the spoon is a concoction of sriracha and wasabi, a well-balanced flavour which is poured and mixed well together. It is a colourful plate of freshness, dotted with a sashimi grade scallop cured with butter, fermented melon, cucumber, dill, lemon and topped with smoked trout roe. The Amuse Bouche highlights the fresh produce concept quite well, aptly named Fresh is Best. I had the 5-course experience, where I started with some freshly baked breads like sesame bun along with truffle butter. There is no ala carte menu, with 5-course and 7-course from S$108++ and S$148++. The Food The cuisine here traversed east and west, with a focus on fresh and locally sourced ingredients where possible. The restaurant is helmed by Chef Steven from the UK, along with Chef Francis from Singapore, both with wide spectrum of culinary experiences. It occupies a two-storey shophouse space, where level two is reserved for private booking with bigger group. The setting of Subrosa is a mix of dark blue, white and dotted by a red rose napkin on each table. The idea is to create a private dining experience for guests in a restaurant setting as opposed to private home dining, where there is no walk-ins and reservations have to made 48 hours in advance. Located right beside Char restaurant, Subrosa Private Dining restaurant stems from Latin language, which means under the rose.

There’s meaty, veggie and vegan options to please everyone.The Place Why the name Subrosa? You might have walked past this restaurant along Jalan Besar without realising its existence. Currently Scouse-inspired pin badges and accessory creator Pin Head is taking up residence, as well as Taco Or Don’t, producers of some outstandingly tasty, gluten-free tacos. Sub Rosa has a number of pop-up stalls for both food traders and retailers. Nestled in the Baltic Triangle on Kings Dock Street, created by the team behind The Botanical Garden, Sub Rosa is a light and airy bar which uses repurposed bus shelters into drinking and dining areas. The bar has also teamed up with their neighbours at Black Lodge Brewery to create their own signature beer, described as “a tasty crisp lager that goes well with good times and sunshine!”īut, that’s not all. And there’s always room for more, especially when they are as amazing as Sub Rosa.

The Baltic Triangle is undisputedly one of the best areas in the city for outdoor hangouts. Bars in Liverpool Food and Drink in Liverpool 0 Comments 0 1 min read
