Some say I'm biased because this chef is a personal favourite. Hence i waited to write this review after countless visits.

Labyrinth is nestled on the ground floor of a shophouse just a stone's throw away from the famous maxwell food centre. A minimalist front greets those brave enough to venture beyond their food comfort zones to sample a brand new local cuisine, termed mod sin by those in the know. Afterall, as signposted by the name, it's a journey you're in for and my food companions for tonight will happily attest to that.

 It would give away far too much of the surprise to go into specific detail about each of the dishes served but above is a photo collage of what you can expect at this unique joint.

 My favourite is the Satay beef. This dish plays on the highlights of the flavourful and nutty satay tastes locals are so accustomed to. Yet the melt in your beef is unlike any other you have experienced. From the first bite into the succulent beef, my tastebuds are greeted with a familiar nuttiness. Done to a perfect brown, a piece of seared foie gras beckons atop the hearty slab. Emulating the melt in your mouth textures of a beautifully grilled stick of satay, the foie gras is the perfect cherry to top off the sensational flavours exploding in your mouth. Accompanied by a fried onion ring and peanut mochi, this dish is every flavour a seasoned satay man dishes out yet nothing like what we've come to expect. Words cannot do justice, it is an experience that must be had on your own.

The illustrious chef declares that it's not long before a new menu will be unveiled and I can't wait to be back for more.
