Open Farm Community's local flavours

In its efforts to champion local produce and flavours, Open Farm Community in Dempsey has revamped its menu with 10 new dishes.

One of my favourites is the holy basil gnocchi ($30), with pickled okra and lemongrass dressing - a unique take on the typically Italian dish. The gnocchi is not too doughy and is well coated in the fragrant dressing.

I also like the red garoupa burger ($30), with generous chunks of the fresh fish, along with the housemade tartar sauce and toasted squid-ink buns. It comes with fries and is good for sharing.

Other highlights include the crispy Jurong frog legs ($26), with root vegetables and curry served with pita bread; and barbecued half chicken ($36), with sweet corn ragout, potato fondant and mustard frill salad.
