Whisk & Paddle @ Punggol

Remember our visitation to the sister restaurant? As in right next door, and I think even kitchen sharing. Well, today we hit Whisk & Paddle @ Punggol. This one has a huge open decking area right on the river. I like that. No booking available on weekend or public holiday so we were VERY lucky to just walk-in today, as it was abso-bloody-lutely mobbed!!! And, rightly so. Like its sister, this place rocks in terms of the food they are serving up. It is of absolute quality at superb prices. I’d class it as a Western/Asian Fusion Bistro perhaps?

They don’t do themselves any favours in their ‘About’ section on WebSite or FaceBook. They say; “Riverside cafe by Punggol Waterway serving all-day brunch, pastries and dessert.”

Unlike this blog and my previous blog for their sister restaurant, Fat Po. I think they are superb, so I am bigging them up AGAIN!!! I really think they could/should be singing their own praises much more. Perhaps they are happy being the talk-of-the-town, being packed solid and having a major amount of word-of-mouth? I don’t think they even acknowledged the previous blog in fact… all rather strange in these Covid times…

As I mentioned there is no booking, so I’d get here as early as you can for queue-busting. Contact deets below;

Let’s have a look at today’s lunch session, shall we?;

Whisk & Paddle @ Punggol

Family K, lovin’ it!!! What a great space. There is indoors too if that is your fancy.

I had made my choice and I was excited, only to find out that the ‘mains’ menu is only available after 1500. Damn!!! Change of strategy to tapas-style, and then I get a variety as well. 1st of 2 soup dishes for me. Simply called Mushroom Soup and served with a cheese Feuillete stick. Simple it is not in terms of flavour though. This is a mushroom soup on steroids. So fresh tasting and damned intense mushroom with some beautiful black pepper overtones in there. Yeah, this is GOOD… up there with the best I have ever had, easily.

But, soup #2 was the overall winner. My God, I could have bathed in this it was so good. I needed to season it a tad with some salt though, but then this thing was Angelic in flavour. Creamy with hints of potato and smoky bacon and Spring onion. This is a superb soup. This I will have every single time I dine here. This is surely a die, die must try soup. Again, simply known on the menu as Bacon Potato Soup.

This was number two on my choice list and #1 got in there for his main. I love the concept, served in a pan. Genius. Looks superb and he agreed with that with a squeaky clean pan at the end of lunch. This is Whisk Breakfast Pan. 2 eggs of your choice, smoked pork sausage, thick-cut bacon, sauteed mushrooms, corn on the cob, green salad, artisan bread and sea salt butter. Wow! Superb brekkie platter indeed!!!

Wifey gets stuck into this beauty. Massive waffles, like massive, but wifey said they were so lights and fluffy that she was able to devour the lot. So she did. Again check out the food No frills, great bistro food. It is of absolute quality. This is their Eggs Benedict. Wifey had hers with Smoked Salmon as you can see. She was even commenting on how good the salad dressing was, so great work there Whisk & Paddle.

My lat little food foray today was this. Remember the miso corn with edamame I raved about at Fat Po? Well, folks here is Whisk & Paddle’s version. And she is a bloody beauty. I could have just eaten this over and over again. Mexican Corn. Grilled corn on the cob, cheese, paprika and cayenne mayonnaise. Holy shit this is sooo good.
Whisk & Paddle @ Punggol
And next up is the kidlets. Two monsters in a pan for them too. Have a look at that beauty. I had a little taste dab and yes this is such a great version. I’d have this as an adult and not worry at all re my choice. Spanking!!! This is Macaroni & Cheese. Macaroni, honey-baked ham, pink sauce & mozzarella cheese.

To pass the time of day I even had one of their fresh banana milkshakes. Oh, yes. Yummo…

Whisk & Paddle @ Punggol
Awwww, it even comes with Iced Gems, sweets from when I was a kid. One for me and one for Jude Jude…

We love Tebing Lane and we love Punggol. Have a look at Ninakennett.net for reviews of our walks through nature reserves and on Coney Island. We really love it here. It is an awesome part of Singapore to explore if you have not been before. We have also done prawn fishing here, with neighbours of Fat Po & Whisk & Paddle in fact. Plus we have yet to enjoy the delights of the container park – a hitch potch of containers arranged in an avenue that is about another 5-10 restaurants and bars alongside the river. More blogs to come it seems. For now, though this was Whisk & Paddle @ Punggol, and what a cracking lunch it was – ENJOY!!!

Father of 3. All my kids are mixed, with English-Japanese, and English-Filipino - a recipe in the making there. I have been cooking since a small lad, as guided by my Nan and my Mum - gradually that morphed through exposure to Thai cooking from a lovely lady called Da in Margate. I used to hang out in her restaurant and watch the techniques. So the 1+1= greater than 2 occurred - Mum/Nan/Da - off I went in to the world of Asian cuisine. Moving to Asia in early 2000's clearly has brought that on somewhat - we travel continually, and eat locally and therefore have exposure to more and more new things. I have lived my dream and written a cook book whilst here, an amazing experience and all for a good cause too as I raised a lot of money for charity. My blog is now hopefully turning in to book number 2. Watch this space. I hope you enjoy my passion.
