The Madman and Co: by The Social Outcast a WOW for 2023
The Madman and Co: What a find this was today… You know Islifearecipe.net by now, surely. We love surprises and that surely happened this day. What an incredible find in Katong, and also the opportunity to meet two wonderful people the co-owners and founders: Noelle and Chef Mint. Be seeing you guys again on the 26th. It’s a Mexican Grocery Store with secret speakeasy dining behind…
This is a concept by The Social Outcast, remember them?
Crazy small worlds. I told Noelle I must introduce her to our mates at East West and Don Ramon Tequila. She then said: “Er, I was having dinner with Max Warner last week…” Clearly, this find was meant to be.
I’ll definitely be bringing our mate the Mexican Ambassador (Augustin) to meet the crew due to Mexican bias, love that. Gerson, expect a WhatsApp mate.
VIVA MEXICO!!!
The Madman and Co, from The Social Outcast: Welcome to the wild world of exciting grocery shopping, where The Madman & Co has transformed the mundane into a culinary adventure!

Here’s the lovely Noelle, co-Founder and Owner of the Madman and Co and The Social Outcast. What’s occurring here you may ask? Is it a bar? No, it’s a tasting counter. The punters sitting at the counter are going through a series of hot sauces and condiments to make an informed selection – that is GENIUS. Jude and I did not have time today but will make time next visit for sure…
Mexicana at its best. It knocks you for six when you walk in with the aromas, vibrant colors, and knick-nacks everywhere. You can’t stop noting new and interesting things in every nook and cranny in here. This is how they’re making shopping for groceries FUN!!! How could you not want to spend 20 or so minutes in here browsing…? It’s impossible not to.
I bought some corn husks here for my next ChillaxBBQ, and will absolutely be buying some of those dried chilies next time I visit. Chipotles to Ghost Chillies are here on display. The smoky smell and hint of raisins sent my cooking ideas senses spinning… I feel another Mexican ChillaxBBQ coming on. ARIBA!!!
What did I buy today at The Madman and Co?
- Smoked Chipotle Avacado Butter
- Lobster Oil infused with Rosemary
- Mint’s Butter
- Truffle Egg Yolk Butter
- Wagyu Tallow
- Corn Husks for my next ChillaxBBQ
- Pepper Drops
WOOF!!! VIVA MEXICO!!!
And I used those The Madman and Co purchases today to make my little foodie buddy his breakfast, and here she is:
Lucky Lucky Jude Jude Brekkie: Smoked Chipotle Avocado Butter Brioche, with Bacon and Cheese, and Mexican Hot Sauce. ARIBA!!!

The Art of Presentation: Aesthetics at The Social Outcast Speakeasy
I tell you what, folks, I cannot wait until we go to this place on 26th for our Wagyu BBQ experience, like I really cannot wait. Check this place out. To start you enter through a secret door, reminiscent of that scene in Willy Wonka, yes this is Oompa Loompa land… The perfect size for Jude Jude though.
And then you get hit with the beautiful aromas of smoked BBQ, and the eye candy of chef Mint charring some lobster tail (I think) in the open kitchen, charcoal BBQ, and countertops only. F@ck me, I am in HEAVEN… This place is uber cool. Again, I’ll say it: WHAT A FIND.
