We had a gorgeous Thanksgiving luncheon with all our loved ones at Fork in the Jungle. It was truly a communal feast filled with plenty of love and laughter. It was a good date when people who don't live in Singapore could fly in to have a meet, and before everyone flies out again for their year-end vacations.
It was the most amazing menu. We had a full table of 20 pax — so we had two portions for everything on the menu. We began with burrata and smoked grapes. There were two kinds of pastas in the form of a vegetarian-friendly spaghetti with charred tomatoes and aged pecorino, and another creamy miso rigatoni with crispy courgettes.
Today, our dear hosts at Fork in the Jungle went all out. All the flavors meshed well together. There were three generous mains of honey-mustard lamb shoulder, fish of a whole mackerel with burnt tomatoes, a whole butterflied chicken, and an easy salad with vinaigrette dressing to round it up. There were even desserts of fresh fruit and banana and apple fritters.
It was a lot of food. And a full table meant I needn't over-do it. This is the start of festive feasting. While I'm very controlled about who I meet, which parties I join and what I put inside my stomach, I still need to be wary of macros. Meanwhile, I'll be eating very well.
