Path Restaurant at MBFC3, what an incredible lunch that was...
Path Restaurant: the boy from Margate strikes again!!! I truly am so very lucky. Today was a work day. Today I had an Executive in town meeting customers, and for a meeting debrief I decided on lunch, and lunch at Path Restaurant MBFC3. And what a wow lunch this was. My goodness. Myself, Kurt, Mike, and Xavier dined like Kings today.
Three of the nicest people for lunch today at one of the best restaurants I have possibly been to on our little Red Dot. Highly recommended is the set lunch menu, as youโll witness below.
Path Restaurant Interior
Hereโs the interior of Path Restaurant. Simple, yes, and simply stunning. Itโs clean and fresh. It has a vibe and an ambiance of invitation. We all loved it immediately upon entering. Itโs just: cool!!!
The interior is inspired by topographical maps, guiding you through the Chefโs journey and memories at Path Restaurant.
The free-flowing curves and contours that surround the interiors are neutral coloured, with elements of the floral arrangements, providing an intimate hideout from the hustle and bustle of Marina Bay Financial Centre.
Then we get to the front-of-house- crew, and my Wifeโs mate Lyn. โA woman can do anything a man can doโ. Lyn is Path Restaurantโs Assistant Restaurant Manager, and that is the quote she lives by. Sheโs my Wifeโs mate, and she is a strong one. In fact she had continuous banter with Kurt after โMaple Leaf-gateโ. It was hysterical.
Lyn promises to never sell herself short and believes that women are just as capable as men, especially in the service industry: I echo that and some. From training her team members to overseeing the restaurantโs daily operations, Lyn ensures your journey at Path will always be a smooth sailing one, and today we experience that in a big way. Pop down here and say hi to Lyn and the crew, you wonโt be disappointed, I guarantee it: exceptional service.
Experience a whole new dinner format following the next chapter of Chef Marvasโ culinary journey. Each dish shares a story that Chef Marvas hopes will remind diners of their own, inspiration from his training and experience as a chef in French fine dining paired with his favoured East Asian flavours and ingredients.

Thereโs the smorgasbord on offer at Path Restaurant MBFC3. We eat first with our eyes, and I tell you I have fallen in love with the food at Path Restaurant based on her looks. That is some beautifully plated food, and some. But what did we eat that dayโฆ?
Path Restaurant MBFC3: the set lunch experience...
Path Restaurant: Abacus Seed โSkewerโ
A homage to his heritage and roots, Chef Marvas takes on a modern twist to the traditional Hakka dish โ Abacus seeds ็ฎ็ๅญ. Often eaten during special occasions, the chewy yam โseedsโ are skewered and grilled over binchล-tan for added smokiness and flavour. Topped with a dried shrimp ragu, Chef Marvas wishes all his guests an abundance of wealth whenever they dine at Path.
This was an OK dish for me. Nice, donโt get me wrong, but so many other standout dishes are below. Like a chewy and gooey yam skewer. Charred over Binchotan (Japanese charcoal), which did give it some smoky kickโฆ Not bad at all.
Path Restaurant: Lamb โBeignetโ
From his time in China and Hong Kong, Chef Marvas fell in love with a simple street-side snack, ่ๅคน้ฆ rou-jia-mo. Recreating this favoured dish with his distinct flare, Luminaย baby lamb shoulder is braised and hand-shredded, before being encased in a thin crispy dough ball. A delightful bite to end off our trio of Memories.
Now this is where it gets going. This little doughy nugget was stunning. I loved this dish. One mouthful single-serve flavour bomb. What an absolute cracker this is Chef. More, pleaseโฆ

Path Restaurant: Aubergine โSphereโ
Path Restaurant: Bonito Tartare, with Quinoa, Yuzu Kosho
Path Restaurant: Pork Collagen Bone, Broth, Tiger Prawn, Morel Mushroom
Path Restaurant: US Maple Leaf Duck Rillette 'XO-style', Onsen Egg, Burnt Leek Emulsion, Brioche
This is the dish that caused โMaple-Leaf Gateโ and a rather continuous dialogue between Kurt and Lyn throughout service. Kurt, being Canadian, clearly had something to say about a dish being called US Maple Leaf. But actually, there is indeed Maple Leaf Farms Corporate, 101 East, Church Street, Leesburg, IN, USA. They are breeding and producing top-drawer duck products.
I broke it gently to Kurt the next dayโฆ
I think youโll agree the chef and crew have nailed it on the presentation again. Thatโs a work of art right there. Such a cracking plate of food, I eagerly await to tuck into.
The idea, as usual with anything using onsen egg, is to get mixing but I wanted to have a little of that burnet leek emulsion on its own first. That was something special. Now I can mix it.
Boy oh boy you get so many flavour pops and texture kicks from this. The onsen egg adds that โemulsionโ to every bite, and then you can pick out every single flavour as you chew, literally popping all along your tongue. I really, really liked this one.
Path Restaurant: Petuna Ocean Trout, Sour Plum Vinaigrette, Citrus, Apple
I drew a line on this one and โdonatedโ my dish to Xavier. Sad to say, Chef, fish is a Nemesis, and King of the Nemesis is cooked trout. I did not want to waste this thing of beauty, so donated accordingly.
Letโs just say I passed it to Xavier, turned away for a minute and this bad boy was gone when I turned back. That says a lot. I will finish this one by kicking myself that I cannot eat such a beautiful plate of food.ย
Path Restaurant: Kiwami Aus Wagyu MBS9 Striploin, Pistachio Puree, Air-dried Beef 'XO shallot Dashi Jus', Silken Potato, Cevennes Onion Parcel
(Additional supplement $40)
Oh my. Approaching a food coma, but this surely woke Kurt, Mike, and myself up. What a veritable smorgasbord of flavours and textures. Iโd go back again and again just for this.ย
A little surprise was the stuffed onion parcel, Cรฉvennes sweet onions have a unique taste with a mild flavour and zero bitterness. They can be enjoyed either raw or cooked. Grown along terraced hillsides in France using traditional methods and harvested by hand, this juicy, crunchy onion is delicious in salads, oven-roasted, or caramelized. What the chef has done though is go one massive step further: stuffing itย with something akin to a beef rillette. What a stunner this was, but then on top was something I would describe as extreme flavoured biltong, which is air-dried beef.
Note, I have not even got to the Kiwami Wagyu yet. Suffice it to say that was beef butter, melt-in-the-mouth Wagyu heavenly steak. Just sublime. But, then add a little of that jus and pistachio puree and KAPOW!!! My goodness, this was one up there with the. best fo the best steak dish. Amazing work chef and crew.ย
Path Restaurant: Heirloom Tomato, Aiyu Jelly, Oolong Tea, Strawberry
Kurt nearly fell off his chair. He is a lover, growing his own at home, of tomatoes. So when this bad boy arrived as dessert, he surely was one happy camper.
This was likely one of the best desserts ever to cross the lips of this fat, beardy face. Oh, my Lordy. Itโs a tomato sorbet folks. Yes, TOMATO SORBERT. Served with little cherry tomatoes, a strawberry mousse of sorts, and the jelly which has balsamic within. Itโs so unique, and boy did I want more. This is, without a doubt, one of my all-time favourite desserts.
