Normal fries at a hipster café $7. Truffle fries $12, which are essentially fries added with truffle oil.
Of course the debate is that Truffle Oil is not even the real thing, a synthetic product made from thioether (2,4-dithiapentane). Yikes.
Even the famous fast food restaurant had some form of sauce made from truffle-flavoured seasoning, which turn viral, but without as positive a feedback. Gordon Ramsay said that synthetic truffle oil as “one of the most pungent, ridiculous ingredients ever known.” But anyway…

Real or not, good or bad, truffle dishes look like they will stay around for a while. Here are 15 of them, ranging from the most predictable ones such as pasta and pizzas, to ice cream, wanton noodles and chawanmushi.

Montana Brew Bar
1 Selegie Road #02-25, Singapore 188306 (10 min walk from Dhoby Ghaut MRT)
Tel: +65 98331790
Opening Hours: 8am – 10pm (Waffles from 1130am onwards)
Truffle Mac & Cheese Waffles
I was half expecting waffles ($12) to come served with a scoop of creamy mac & cheese on top (too predictable yah?), so I wondered why the pieces came sans the topping.
Oh, the mac & cheese were incorporated WITHIN the waffles. So as you take bites, you would find the inner layers soft and somewhat cheesy. I know this was carb in carb, but close your eyes to eat, and you might find this worth that extra run to burn the calories.
(For Montana fans, the café has moved upstairs with a more chic and spacious environment.)

Truffle Lobster Roll
The Truffle Lobster Roll ($68++) is a variation of the signature Lobster Roll dish at Pince & Pints Restaurant and Bar.
The lobster is first blanched for 3 to 4 mins before taking an ice bath. Before serving, the lobster is then taken out of the ice bath and then seared in butter and housemade truffle sauce. The lobster roll is also topped off with truffle shavings and truffle caviar adding new depth and flavour to the dish. (Oh yes, good news, you can now reserve seats at Pince & Pints.)

Whipped Buffalo Ricotta with Truffled Honey & Grilled Bread
Never would I have thought that this would be one of my favourite items on the menu of Cook & Brew.
What you get is a mash with sweet pumpkin-like taste ($12), with an unmistakable aroma of truffle cream. Recommended.

Truffle Egg Confit
I hear that the Egg Confit & Truffle dish sent fellow food blogger RubbishEatRubbishGrow to tears, Pinkypiggu to exclaim it was “so so so awesome” (emphasize 3 ‘so’s). I didn’t cry or anything like that. I carried on eating. Yeah, it was a good dish.

Truffle Chawanmushi
“$15? Shall I, shall I not?” The tummy won the mind in the decision-making of getting this Truffle Chawanmushi ($15++), added with prawn, crab meat and scallop.
The steamed egg was extremely smooth, matched with a robust aroma the moment the lid is opened. On a I-feel-rich day, I would order this again.

Tel: +65 6384 4770

Truffle Ramen
Okay, warning first: This Black Truffle Ramen ($14.90) may or may not be served. The 1st time the shop said they were not ready, on a return trip – this was it.
The ramen is a dry version, served sans char siu, somewhat reminding us of angel hair pasta with truffle.
Kanshoku wasn’t stingy with the truffle oil and black truffle bits AT ALL (maybe because boss happened to be there and recognised me LOL). A friend loved it and ta-bao more; while I thought the amount of truffle was overpowering and could be reduced a good 20%.

Truffle Wanton Mee
Wah, humble local Wanton Mee with truffle ($6). Auntie sprayed some white truffle oil from Urbani Tartufi on the noodles with char siew and both soup=style and deep fried wanton, and the combination somehow worked very well.
Pssssst… there is also Truffle Soft Pork Bone Noodles ($6.50) offered, don’t say I #bojio.

Are you salivating yet? You could jolly smell the fragrance between it arrived.

Truffle Mac & Cheese

Truffle Ice Cream
Win already. Milk based Truffle Ice Cream. What I realised after trying a few is that their flavours are quite pronounced and strong.
Their White Truffle used to be more obvious, though I realised it was tamed a notch after a return visit. Try for novelty sake, otherwise, maybe the ‘normal’ flavours aren’t that bad.
