I recently spent a wonderful evening at J Bistro @ 45 Syed Alwi, which is tucked away between Kampong Glam and Jalan Besar. It was like unearthing a tranquil local secret. The airy, contemporary décor and relaxed atmosphere set the mood from the moment I walked in. You can relax at their quaint outdoor tables with views of Singapore's streets or choose comfortable indoor seats with gentle lighting, making it the ideal place for a laid-back evening.J-Bistro's light-modern decor, laid-back vibe, and casual music selection skillfully combine a comfortable lounge with a modern social environment. You can relax there by yourself, catch up with friends, or have a relaxed date night.The staff was really friendly and courteous; they helped me navigate and clarify their menu, which greatly simplified my decision-making process. I started by trying their Forest Mushroom Veloute out of all the different dishes I had chosen. The soup's distinct flavor, which preserved all of the mushrooms, came from its creamy texture, which was achieved by using only mushrooms and no flour. Every bite was amazing because of the combination of the mushroom taste and the garlic bread, which was simultaneously soft and crispy. Immediately following the soup, I tried the Lombok Chicken Satay, which was prepared in their KOPA oven, giving it a wonderful smoky taste and tenderness. When paired with the accompanying peanut sauce, the meal turned into the ideal appetizer to start off your day with!I decided to taste their Wagyu Beef Burger after the Satay. Char-grilled in their trademark KOPA oven, the Wagyu retained all of its luscious fat inside, giving it an irresistible mouthfeel and texture that made it shine more and more with each bite. As one of their best-selling dishes, the dish truly lived up to its name and thanks to the flavor of the grilled burger, the texture of the crispy, fluffy french fries, and the subtle sweetness of the caramelized onions paired with the cheese that brought the whole burger together, this dish was definitely a highlight of the day for me. I tried the fish and chips as my next meal. I've tried a variety of fish and chip recipes, each with a special touch. One of the most authentic-tasting ones I've had so far has to be J bistros Fish & Chips. Together with their fries and tartar sauce, the light, airy batter that isn't overly greasy makes it simpler to eat. It's the ideal greasy evening meal. This next and final dish was my favorite alongside the Wagyu Beef Burger I tried previously. The Laksa Prawn Linguini was one of those dishes that was simply amazing; the laksa paste and coconut cream's creamy smoothness and flavor really brought out the Singaporean characteristics of laksa that everyone is familiar with and enjoys. The dish benefited greatly from the deliciously cooked prawns and their pleasing texture. My recommendation would be to request some lime on the side, which would perfectly balance the flavors and spices and elevate this dish even further. Pistachio Kunefe with syrup on the side was the first dessert I tried out of the two I ordered. All of my sweet needs were fully satisfied by this one dish once I poured all of the syrup on top. The subtle saltiness from the cheese and the sweetness from the syrup and pistachios blended together flawlessly. Their Baklava Plate, which had walnut and pistachio baklavas, was the final dish I ate. This recipe is ideal for people who wish to satisfy their sweet cravings without having too much sugar. These baklavas, which come directly from Turkey, have the classic baklava flavor while also satisfying the needs of those who cannot tolerate very sweet foods. In this case, the taste of the walnuts and pistachios was even more noticeable, which added a special touch that made the dish quite pleasant. For those seeking a quick and easy treat, they also serve a variety of Turkish ice cream which can be the perfect thing to enjoy especially on a hot day. Special mention for their Singapore Sling as well! Overall, I would highly recommend this eatery when you’re in SG!
