Bird Bird Launches New Menu
It’s no secret that Chefs Anthony Yeoh and Bjorn Shen are pals, so when the former left Cocotte and The Provision Shop, it wasn’t no surprise he joined Bjorn as his Group Executive Chef. The first menu by the pair to launch features three different types of fried chicken ($29 for half and $49 for whole) – Southern Fried Chicken (comes with delish chicken gravy), Bangkok Fried Chicken served with a green chilli nam jim dip, and Lebanese Fried Chicken (an apt tribute to big brother resto Artichoke). Just remember to save space for their signature soft serve sundaes like the Rhuppleberry Softie Pie ($14) comprising of strawberry beetroot soft serve, rhubarb-apple-strawberry cobble, kataifi pastry, and candied pecans.
Bird Bird is located at 97 Frankel Avenue, Singapore 458222, p. +65 6694 8270. Open Tue-Sun 11am-11pm.

New Whisky Alert: The Dalmore 50
If you have a(n) (expensive) penchant for old whiskies, The Dalmore has just recently launched one that might just tickle your fancy. In celebration of Master Distiller Richard Paterson’s 50th year in the whisky industry, the highland distillery has launched The Dalmore 50. Hand-filled to order, it’s been matured in American white oak, Matusalem oloroso sherry casks before a final 50-day stint in Domaine Henri Giraud champagne casks. Presented in a case crafted by furniture makers at LINLEY, the crystal decanter is created by French crystal house Baccarat and adorned with a solid silver stag by silversmiths Hamilton & Inches.
