I believe that many of you had walked passed Clark Quay taxi stand and happen to saw Fern & Kiwi Bar And Eatery. But how many of you had check it out?
#FunFact
Do you know that Fern & Kiwi serves New Zealand food?
Well, their food are really fresh, promising you the best quality you can imagine.
And KIAORA means HELLO in native Zealand language! I really love how they add in small details to make me feel like I'm very close to NZ.
Now, time to tour around. I really love how they use a spiral stairs to lead me up to the level 2 where it's really cozy to dine in and the interior design is really fantastic.
Really nice right? I mean, the lights and the design of the walls really beautify the place and make it so cozy that you might thought that you are dining at NZ's home!
Alright. Time for some food! Are you ready?
Wellingtonian (Tomato Pizza)
Slow roasted tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella with parmesan and basil gremolata
The favorite dish by the bar. The thin crust and the mixture of the cheese and tomato just makes want to cleared the whole pizza within minutes! Can you picture it in your mind and feel it?
Sea salt & pepper squid
Lemon, sweet soy, coriander and chili dressing
Salt and pepper is one of the best way to cook really fresh food. However, with the mixture of the lemon, sweet soy, coriander and chili dressing, it became something I had never tried before! And the squid was so perfectly cooked. And you don't feel the oil when you eat it. Good job!
Pan Seared Scallops
Served with grilled asparagus, poached egg and hollandaise sauce with mushroom soil and shaved parmesan. Dipping the fresh scallop into the peached egg and then eat it with the mushroom soil. One word - Wonders!
12 hours Braised Lamb Shank
One way to know if it's well done is to use a fork to slide the meat off the bone. Well, it came off nicely. The taste was good. It was juicy and not too salty. The mixture of mesh potatoes was good. Something unique!
Pork Spare Ribs
If you didn't order this, I guess you haven't really tried. The juice from the ribs along with the special sauce was just too "WOW". The meat just melted off the ribs so easily in a medley of fats, tender fibers of pork and juice. If you ever had a hankering for pork ribs, you know where to go. It's really good. Highly recommended!
The ribs come in 4, 6 and 12.
New Zealand King Salmon Fillet
It was served on a bed of green lipped mussels and sumac risotto with dill creme fraiche and vie tomato confit. To be honest, I'm not a big fan of cooked Salmon. However, this was different. It was not fully cooked and you can still taste the freshness of the King salmon. Totally worth a shot!
And now, it's dessert time!
Hot Chocolate Pudding
Different! I thought it would be like the usual molten chocolate we usual find in the cafes, But this was really different! Try it to know the wonders behind it!
Kiwi Eton Pavlova
Crushed pavlova and raspberry snow with passion fruit, kiwi, chantilly cream and doris plum ice-cream. Ever try such a different dessert? I bet the answer is no! GIVE IT A SHOT!
The plum ice-cream was very tasty and refreshing, totally redolent of the exotic richness of plum. Mixture of different fruits and the chantilly cream with the crushed pavlova. Thumbs up!
So if you are thinking of a great place for a authentic NewZealand meal, do consider Fern & Kiwi Bar and Eatery. It is also a good place for gathering and feeling comfortable and chilling.
