"Come to my neighborhood bar!" The friends exhorted. So we toddled down to Orh Gao Taproom on a Thursday. It's conveniently located at Serene Center and seemed casual enough. Nothing pretentious about it. The man and I have never actually had a beer here. Time to rectify that.
The beer menu is ever-changing, so just see what they have on tap and in the bottle fridge. The table opted for beer in the form of Alive Brewing's 'Soba So Good' and The Bruery's 'Oatmeal Raisin Cookie' stout. I decided to have an elderflower yuzu G&T. Hurhurhur.
The food wasn't mind-blowing but it was decent enough for us. The kitchen rotates their food menu and sometimes, they have guest chefs helming the kitchen. If I'm here, I'm hoping for a bar menu that doesn't yet offer another set of burgers, fried shite and pizza. I really don't mind Orh Gao's Asian menu. We had pari bakar (grilled sambal stingray), ayam merah, roasted pork belly with achar, stir-fried kai-lan and tofu goreng accompanied by coconut rice. Heh.
It was a rainy night. Not unexpected. We had three floofs with us who became Shiver Buddies. Thankfully, not thunder. So the three of them simply shivered in anticipation of thunder, and then after 15 minutes, relaxed totally till the next heavy rain pelted downed they shivered again. Ooooof. These inter-monsoon rains are really not doing the floofs any favors. It isn't as if this month will be better. The Northeast monsoon is settling in, and there'll be another round of thunderstorms. Zzzzzzz.
