Oso, Bukit Pasoh
In the event that you were wondering if this had become some sort of photo blog, it's not. With what little time I've had lately, I just thought that I could just put up the photos before I got down to writing about them, so there you go....I'm back. And this time for a place call Oso (46 Bukit Pasoh Road, tel: 6327 8378) which I thought I should have discovered much earlier.
I must say that apart from what I observed to be some little splotches in service, dinner here was quite what I was hoping to be through preempted perceptions since it's one of those places that people have been egging me to try on numerous occasions. This turned out to be one of those places that left me with a satisfactory smirk and I'll probably be returning again in the not too far future.
We got a very creamy burrata, in also very generous portions for two to start with along with some accompaniments of cherry tomatos and a mustard colored tomato sabayon. The effect of the color of that sabayon (which really tasted like a fresh tomato dip of sorts) pairing with the plaster white cheese reminded me of a giant poached egg. Certainly nothing at all to fault with the hearty braised wild boar stracci luxuriantly saddled in a blanket of that rich tasting sauce robust with the aroma of red wine. Something I'm fairly sure I'll be tempted to order again when I do return. The gnocchis with gorgonzola and parsley sauce was surprising in ways that I didn't expect as the fresh green flavor of the herbs stood distinct in the tide of the no so strong gorgonzola. Well, it was a tad saltish without the pungence to match, but I supposed the parsley novelty made up for it since it was good enough for us to mop up all the remaining sauces with the second servings of bread.
Dessert of the double vanilla panna cotta in black pepper caramel sauce was interestingly cool, but wasn't mind blowing in any manner. It was a nice milky panna cotta and the pepper caramel was refreshing enough to be interesting, but I guess that was all there is to it.
