WINE & DINE

New Bites

Fat Lulu’s

Fresh Fusion Open only in the evenings, recently launched European fusion restaurant- bar Pyxiemoss offers a chill-out spot for office workers in the area, with its signature bespoke cocktails taking centre stage. Noteworthy ones include the Ginger Julie ($18), a concoction of Monkey 47 gin, Japanese shiso sake and grapefruit juice, as well as the SRWMC ($22), the bar’s take on a white Negroni. From 10.30pm onwards, bar bites are served. Go for the Carrot Dog ($5 a piece), an appetising mix of char-grilled carrot cloaked in gula melaka and curry leaves and topped with house-made achar (spicy mixed vegetables) on a pillow-soft bun. For something more substantial, try the Seaviche ($8), a refreshing seafood- free ceviche using fresh sea coconut instead of raw seafood. While there are a number of vegetarian options, meat is offered here, too. An ode to the chef’s Indian heritage, the Mother’s Lamb ($18) is a rich yet balanced dish of lamb hearts and neck, alongside slices of lamb “bacon”. 43 North Canal Road. 6532 2171 | pyxiemoss.com
