Kilo Singapore

This is my 3rd time to Kilo. I thought that I have better give it some justice by writing about it. Kilo is the type of place that you would not chance by it while shopping. It is tucked away in Kampung Bugis, near Kallang Riverside Park. The first time when I bought my partner there, he thought that I was going to bring him to some run down place as we passed by a warehouse, a open field and a factory! When we finally arrived at the building where Kilo is located (Kilo is on the 2nd floor), the cafe on the ground floor was shut. By the way, the cafe was the Loysel’s Toy Cafe, which I heard good comments but have not had a chance to try it.

Kilo adopts an open concept. It gives you a rustic feel with wooden chairs, fans and no AC! Surprising, despite no air con, it is still nice and breezy, probably because it is facing the river. At the end of the Kilo, there is a DJ corner and a bar with high chairs. Not a big place, so reservation is a must. Since I have been here 3 times, I had tried a number of their starters and main course. I would recommend the short ribs. The ribs are soft and tender and marinated very well. We had some sushi, but not remarkable, so can skip that. For the mains, I would recommend the Braised Duck Leg. However, the third time when we were there (August 2012), the meat was quite tough. Maybe the chef overcook it. Beef tenderloin and the braised rabbit meat were highly recommended too. Rabbit meat was not always on the menu though. If you have room for dessert, you can go for the Lava chocolate cake with ice cream. The acid test for any lava cake is whether the chocolate in the cake oozed out like lava, and for Kilo's, it passed the test. Service is friendly but a bit of hit and miss. One of the waiter seems a bit confused. He told u that the rabbit meat ran out, and when we ordered we lamented to the waitress it was a shame that rabbit meat ran out, she told us that it was still available! I would definitely return when I want to have a nice meal away from the city. Kilo Address: 66 Kampong Bugis, 2/F Singapore Tel: +65 6467 3987
