Jelebu Dry Laksa (#02-48 VivoCity, 1 HarbourFront Walk, tel : +65 9721 6560) is by Tipsy Collective. If one were inclined to do a little investigative overview, the group creates manages restaurants that could be construed as contemporary local/Asian fusion. Booze is apparently a thing too. Jelebu Dry Laksa didn't feel so much to me about the passions of a particular Renee Tang who has a limited background/history with cooking than it is likely, just a convenient pretty face with a suitable story for the purposes of branding.
Just saying......I don't know the real story.
Tried their carrot cake omelette. The actual dish looked like an amateur's attempt to replicate the dish compared to the picture on their menu. It's not a bad tasting carrot cake wrapped in egg. Those red chunks were lup cheong. Orange sauce was sambal mayo which I thought wasn't bad. Flavours were intense from those two which was pretty much the majority of what could be tasted. What we did not expect was that the dish was served barely lukewarm. Hmmm.....
That's their tiger prawn beancurd roll. Stuffings include the mentioned prawns and diced water chestnuts. This was like ngoh hiong minus the minced pork. I don't know about the truffle mayo on the side. Felt like it was put there because they didn't know what else to spruce those rolls with.
The Jelebu dry laksa was not bad tasting and also not very lemak. After mixing everything, the laksa leaf flavour also kinda got lost but I'm gonna chalk those up to the flavour profile they were going for. The one thing that bothered us were those crispy ebi that were exacting their revenge by stabbing the roof of our mouths.
