Graze at Martin No. 38 – Fresh Australian Cuisine [Closed]

The new Graze at Martin No. 38, sister to the first Graze restaurant at Rochester Park, features a menu containing unique touches from Down Under.

Having had a great dining experience at Kha previously, I could not wait to see what delights its neighbour has to offer.

Starters

Bread with white bean and baby carrot dip

The house-baked bread is both earthy and hearty. Paired with a white bean dip and baby carrots, it provides a very interesting taste.

Soy cured snapper with green pea cream
S$20++

Nicely executed, the soy cured snapper has a chewy texture and goes surprisingly well with the green pea cream and spring peas.

Crispy smoked eel
S$21++

Fried till just right, I particularly enjoy the way that the beetroot dressing highlights the freshness of the crispy smoked eel.

Upside-down duck pie
S$22++

The upside-down duck pie is teamed with a side of pickled vegetables, reminiscent of the Asian achar. I find the duck a bit dry and can do with more fat.

Mains

Grilled jumbo tiger prawns
S$34++

The overall combination of tangy grapefruit, crisp frites and sea urchin butter complements the fresh and firm grilled jumbo tiger prawns, de-shelled for your immediate eating enjoyment.

Over-baked sea bass with lemongrass curry
S$32++

Light, sweet and full of spices, the fragrant lemongrass curry gives the sea bass a whole new dimension of flavour.

300g Australian Kurobuta pork chop
S$36++

While the accompanying pear chutney is light and refreshing on the palate, the Kurobuta pork chop can be slightly more tender. Ready yourself for the extremely juicy cherry tomatoes, whose sweet juices will burst out at the poke of a fork.

240g Wagyu rump steak
S$48++

Done till pink, the Wagyu rump steak is extremely succulent and pairs well with the piquant chimichurri. The tempura spring onion also brings a much welcomed crunch.

Desserts

Piña colada
S$14++

A fresh and intriguing take on the classic Spanish piña colada cocktail, this coconut dessert will not disappoint. I especially enjoy the nutty exterior of the coconut parfait and spiced pineapples that lends extra sweetness.

White sherry and strawberry trifle
S$14++

While the sherry adds oomph, the strawberry trifle is only average at best.

Black and White
S$15++

With a lovely sesame snap wafer, rich Valrhona dark chocolate cream, vanilla bean ice cream and a great mix of fresh and freeze-dried fruits, it’s no surprise that the Black and White is the highlight of the meal. A definite must-order!

Graze at Martin No. 38 provides tasty Australian cuisine in a comfortable and airy ambiance, making this a very attractive place to catch up with friends over a meal.
