any food establishment that succeeds to have more than one outlet really ups its game. For SPRMRKT, not only does it have a a couple of outlets to allow more patrons the chance of trying their food, it also differentiates itself through its unique name and concept. pronounced as "supermarket", the name is a unique play of words to spell it without vowels. the idea itself is essentially fusion food, with a focus on local art as well.

The restaurant is essentially a bistro serving up western mains and brunch food, the fusion element comes from its choice of ingredients, often adding a local flavours to the dishes. The decor for the Cluny Court outlet where we visited has a Chinese restaurant look, with modern fittings and a bar counter as well. the tie up with artist Benedict Yu adds to the Chinese feels as several of his paintings are put up on display as well. we like it that the eatery celebrates local art, it adds another dimension to the overall dining experience.

it was a group outing and we had to wait for some others to arrive. we ordered this Chilli Cheese Fries that's totally vegan. with all these patented vegan meat these days, the fries here are splashed with cheese, chilli sauce and minced Beyond meat - which is not exactly meat, since its vegan. the fries tasted really good and having these options probably underlines the commitment that SPRMRKT has to stay inclusive.

classic SPRMRKT favourites from its original McCallum Street store can be found here as well. this Spicy Prawn Linguine is one of them and it lived up to the hype. the dish comes with an abundant serving of king prawns, special spicy sauce and nicely textured Linguine pasta. you can also find the Blackened Fish & Chips, where the fish batter is prepared in squid ink, making it charcoal black. nonetheless, its very good quality fish and chips, with the meat really soft within a crispy crust, great taste as well.

there's also more mainstream brunch food like Eggs Benedict available, or you can go for more adventurous mains such as this Chicken Confit in pesto sauce. if anything it was a very generous portion of chicken thigh, grilled tender, served with potatoes, cherry tomatoes and pesto sauce. we do get a feeling that chicken lovers will be biased towards this one. besides the food offering, the outlet at Cluny Court is a nice place for gatherings. the place gets busy on weekends with the expat community and folks living around the neighbourhood coming by for a late brunch, as well as Botanic Gardens visitors stopping over for lunch. reservations would be encouraged to get the same fuss free experience that we enjoyed.
