And 50 lucky voters will get a chance to win a pair of tickets to S$100GOURMET, a dining event which sees Michelin Star Chefs collaborate with local chefs in August and September 2016.

Enough Said. Follow me through my post as I went for the hungrygowhere awards food trail few days ago with other fellow foodies. There were total of 3 stops within the evening and transport was provided to chauffeur us to the destination after our first stop.

First Stop: Melben Signature
Eligible Category: Best Restaurant, Chinese Cuisine
Official Hashtag : #MellbenSignature

Melben Seafood is well-known in foos scene with their renowned claypot crab bee hoon. But we are here at their Melben Signature Seafood Restaurant for their signature Creamy butter crab with their fried mantou. Melben I was here during Chinese New Year period.
The best part to enjoy the crab is with your bare hands licking the creamy sweet butter sauce and mopping up with fried mantou.

2nd Stop: Escape Restaurant & Lounge

Official Hashtag: #EscapeRestaurant
So, we headed to the next stop which is the Escape Restaurant & Lounge located at One Farrer Hotel. Escape serves local and international cuisine with an open kitchen concept. You can watch chef in action as they whip up the culinary choices of your pick. As the time was too short, I only managed to try few of the dishes. But here are some of the foods that you can expect from their buffet session.

There are cheese and breads counter, chinese cuisine counter and not forgetting the favourite spot- Chocolate Fondue is available as well. More photos will be up on separate post soon.

3rd Stop: Tiger’s Milk
Eligible Category: Best (Others), Best Bar/ Lounge
Official Hashtag: #TigersMilkSG
The last stop was my favourite stop where we get to chill at the rooftop bar. It was drizzling before that and thank god it was cleared by the time we arrived Tiger’s Milk. Tiger’s Milk at The Club along Ann Siang Road is a rooftop bar and grill concept and it is a Peruvian bar. So, we were here to check out their signature cocktails- Pisco Sour and Piscorinha.

We also had the chance to try Classic Seabass. Fresh seabass tossed with chopped aji Amarillo, red onions and grilled corn and served with sweet potatoes. It’s quite a refreshing palate.

Wagyu Beef Fingers was the favourite of the night. Marinated wagyu beef rib served with chimichurri was tantalizing and succulent in taste. Umami!

Of course, their Pisco Sour was the highlight drinks as well with egg whiten shaken to a frothy finish on top of the layer and a smooth finish taste.
Their Piscorinha shaken with calamansi and passionfruit, sour plum and served with crushed ice was equally nice too. The citrus flavours are well-balanced.
