SINGAPORE: Yardbird Southern Table & Bar

My gosh, I really get anxious just thinking about the number of backlog travel posts I have 

 2018 Japan trip, 2018 Korea trip, 2018 New Zealand trip, 2019 Japan trip, 2019 Bangkok trip ....

HOLY. IT'S SIX.

How am I going to ever finish posting about them goodness. I probably have around 50 posts more to draft omg omg omg omg. 

Nicholas and I have been back in Singapore for awhile already and really, we have been going around trying new places, old places. And I think Singapore in terms of its food scene its much more exciting than Adelaide. There's just so many restaurants! And new restaurants are popping up every week it's just so difficult to stay on top of everything. I dare say in Adelaide that Nick and I would have already checked out a new place by 1 month post opening. 

Voted Best American Restaurant by Time Out Miami, Yardbird Southern Table & Bar was founded on the principle of farm-fresh ingredients and traditional American flavours. We decided to dig into Yardbird Singapore’s mouth-watering dinner menu last week.

Goodness, I 've just realised that Singaporeans are a really greedy bunch. The problem with Nick and myself is that we are super last minute people. We hardly ever plan our meals ahead ( unless we are travelling then I get very uptight), we only decided on yardbird a couple of hours before dinner. I couldn't get a table on chope. Nick called the restaurant and was unfortunately told that the tables are all fully booked out. But Nick is always very resourceful and he is a sweet talker so somehow is managed to sweet talk a table out of the manager.... lollollol

Some singaporeans I realised... are also a strange bunch. There was a young couple beside us. I think it's an army boy celebrating his gf's birthday. They ordered ribs and lobster mac and cheese. Wah, I held myself back so badly, I really felt like tapping them on the shoulder. I mean.... the restaurant's called yardbird... the restaurant's mascot is a chicken.... the restaurant is known for fried chicken...

WHY ARE YOU EATING RIBS AND LOBSTER?

It's like me going to a fisherman and asking him to sell me pork.

Anyway... rant over.

heheh Nicholas is SO CUTE !

For starters we had the chicken wings ( left $20)

I LOVED IT. The chili spice was on point. It's the best chicken wings I've ever had. I am a huge fan of korean chicken wings, but this is better !

Fried green tomato, cripsy pork belly, pimento cheese, smoky tomato jam, frisée, pickled lemon vinaigrette $18

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. 

Chicken and spiced watermelon and waffles for mains $40 

It's a huge portion so if you are getting sides and appetizers, I really think 1 main is good to share between 2. 

The chicken was so well marinated. I brought some back for Beefe and the moment i opened up my takeaway box my mom was like " WHATS THAT? SMELLS AMAZING" obviously Beefe had a fantastic supper. 

The spiced watermelon was refreshing. The waffles... meh. 

Really nice Mac and cheese $14

Overall, the food was good, price wise a little expensive but hey, it's housed in marina bay sands so.... I guess it's priced appropriately for venue.
The good thing is... if you are a marina bay sands member just like I am, you are entitled to 15% discount at yardbird until march 2020!!!!!

It's a heaps good deal !

I don't know about you, but I did enjoy the chicken very much and Nicholas and I are definitely going to be back for brunch another day. I really want to try their chicken and egg biscuit sandwich :p
