I was a complete supper-club virgin...until "Plus-Six-Five" deflowered me!
I had heard about this supper club through the grapevine and then decided to gather a few friends and try it out. To be honest, I wasn't quite sure what to expect: who are these people who invite complete strangers into their homes and cook up a storm for them? Don't they have their own friends, who they can invite? What if this is a trap and they hold us ransom and ask for a shit-load of money to let us free again? - Well, turns out that all my suspicions and concerns were thrown over-board, once I entered the Goz's flat (Goz, by the way, is the host of this Singaporean Supper Club.)
We were seated immediately and started nibbling on the spicy appetizers that were placed in front of us. Soon the room filled up with other strangers just like us and, while in the beginning it was certainly a little awkward, the common experience of this awkwardness made us bond rather quickly and soon we were chatting away with our fellow supper-clubians. To be honest, I can't remember what kind of dishes were served up, but I do remember that all of them were excellent - especially a meat dish, that had stewed away for a few days apparently.
At the end of the night, we were in for two more treats: 1) we tried home-made macaroons by a local amateur-pastry chef and 2) we experienced coffee from a Singaporean coffee-roastery; the owner himself poured the coffee for us, explaining various intricate details about the bouquet along the way...
Overall, I truly enjoyed my first time...and I can almost say that since then I've been to another supper club and I've already lined up two more. If you're curious about other supper clubs, have a look at http://www.edibleexperiences.com. read more
