Steamed Pumpkin w Rice & Foie Gras

Forest, Equarius Hotel, Resorts World Sentosa
Rating: 4/5
I was invited to a media tasting for Sam Leong's new venture, Forest, and they served this as a main. So this should be their standout dish. In this restaurant, expect comfort food elevated, familiar flavors of childhood, all grown up. This pumpkin could stand to be a bit sweeter, but its texture is steamed to perfection, making the flesh a welcome pairing with the fragrant short grain Californian rice. The foie gras, though sweet and rich, is a bit too generous, distracting from the other components.
