Skyve Wine Bistro Review: Uni Pasta And Soft Shell Crab Udon That’ll Reignite Your Love For Seafood
Breaking my uni v-card at Skyve Update: Skyve now has a new menu and the dishes mentioned in this review are no longer available. When it comes to seafood, I always stick to the usual salmon, tuna and prawns, and even though the whole world has been telling me how amazing uni tastes, I just haven’t had a chance to tast…
Going to What’s more, Skyve also, other seafood dishes and new vegetarian and vegan options to their menu, which means I no longer have to wrack my brains thinking of where to celebrate my vegetarian friends’ birthdays. Seafood dishes at Skyve Not gonna lie, when Uni Spaghettini ($20++ as appetiser, $38++ as main course) arrived, I was a little intimidated by its striking saffron colour.
It tasted lighter than aglio olio yet came with a touch of creaminess thanks to the uni . Finished off with a generous scoop of uni , kazunoko (herring roe) and seaweed caviar, the explosion of flavours takes “party in my mouth” to a whole new level.
Soft Shell Crab Amandine ($22++) may come with a bed of udon, but it’s served as an appetiser . I have always been an avid fan of fresh oysters and I thought drizzling ’em with lemon juice was the best way to have them until I tried Gaucho ($34++for half dozen) . It was slightly sweet and tangy, and definitely enhanced the natural taste of the oyster without overpowering it.
Unlike Gaucho, which was served cold, Ume Uni ($36++/half dozen) was warm and topped with a sweet Japanese plum jam and the sea-salty goodness of sea urchin. The uni melted right in my mouth and seasoned that plump oyster with its briny creaminess.
Non-seafood dishes at Skyve Guys, I might have found the burger of my life. I also like how the portobello mushroom was extremely juicy and chewy while the baby spinach kept everything light and easy on the palate.
The sauce used is not vegan, but y ou can request for the chef to replace it with a vegan sauce. The pork was juicy and succulent, and I like how barley is used instead of rice since it kept this light yet hearty.
The top 2 desserts in this platter that got me swooning were Snicker Bar and Prefect’s Chocolate Pudding. It was a lot more gooey and the chocolate ganache feuilletine was rich and luscious. Next to it was a piece of flambed banana, which made a perfect complement to the rich chocolatey goodness.
The most impressive of the lot would be Prefect’s Chocolate Pudding , a totally guilt-free treat that is both vegan and gluten-free. Ambience at Skyve With its modern and pristine interior, it’s no surprise that Skyve has been a popular spot for wedding lunches and other special events. The Verdict What I like most about food at Skyve is that they are really flavourful on the palate yet light on the stomach.
