I think it is fair to say that the highlight of our Singapore trip was Mark’s birthday dinner at Iggy’s restaurant. When asked, a well travelled gastronomy friend of mine recommended Iggy’s, and she excelled herself.

Right from the beginning of our Singapore experience things felt good. It is a clean, friendly place where the locals are happy to help tourists and share the history of the place they call home.

No small detail is overlooked. This became evident upon departing Singapore as we sat in the lush tropical koi pond that is inside Singapore airport whilst waiting for our flight.

Iggy’s restaurant isn’t just a place to eat, it is a theatre as well. The images you glimpse of inside the kitchen moments before your meal is brought to the table. The rest of the time the sliding opaque glass doors hide the magic. This touch of drama adds to the anticipation.

Linguine was brought to the table and real black truffle was shaved on top.

The first dessert tasted as beautiful as it looked with gentle floral flavours.

Iggy’s Restaurant is Full of Surprises

Then Mark was surprised with a chocolate crumble and gold leaf egg that he thoroughly enjoyed whacking with a hammer to crack into.

Simply Smashing! It had to be said, I won’t apologise..

The photography skills on my dodgy old camera phone aren’t so great. But the memories are captured and shared all the same. You really need to look at Iggy’s menus to understand the experience we had. The starter of sea urchin with truffle that came out under a glass cup to keep the aroma in deserves a special mention. It was amazing.

I smelt the sea urchin coming to the table and got excited. But when the glass was removed that was a whole other story. If my nose was any closer to the plate I probably would have ended up eating without utensils. This dish set the scene for the whole evening. The foie gras, oh my gosh! That was the first time I’ve tasted that delicacy and I hope it won’t be the last.

Mark and I were extra spoilt at Iggy’s. Mark got his surprise birthday egg, and we were given beautiful gift bags with delicious chocolates as our honeymoon gift.

If you are in Singapore for a special occassion Iggy’s restaurant is a must!
