Food at The Tipsy Wolves The phrase “slow and steady” certainly came to mind as I peered into the kitchen of The Tipsy Wolves. A drool-worthy treat for any carnivore, this thick slab of meat was flanked by a bed of roasted potatoes and napa cabbage which was cooked in butter.

Brined for four hours and sous-vide for another 16 hours, the pork belly was mouthwateringly tender. The layers of fats and meat seemed to melt into one, as my knife comfortably sliced through it in one clean stroke.

The juiciness of the meat, in turn, permitted me to better appreciate its moreish flavours. Enhanced by the nutty accents of the brown butter sauce, the meat shone with its porky richness.

Some places treat sides as an afterthought, but the flavour of the roasted potatoes here easily matched up to the lofty standards set by the pork belly. The Tipsy Wolves also offers their unique take on a classic hawker dish with their Laksa Pasta ($10.90) .

Sink your teeth into the plump meat and enjoy its rich and luscious tang. The savour and scent of laksa leaves permeated the pasta, masking the brininess of the crayfish.

While this surprise addition further reminded me of laksa, they failed to leave their mark in a crowd of piquant flavours. Barramundi is an uncommon sight in Western hawker stalls, so their Beer Battered Barramundi & Chips ($11.90) easily piqued my interest. Much like old-school fish and chips, beer was mixed into the batter, which contributed to its light and fluffy crust.

And unlike the rich taste of salmon and tuna, the barramundi presented a lighter profile with its gentle sweetness. Ambience at The Tipsy Wolves The Tipsy Wolves is located in Bistro 8, a chic food court furnished with whitewashed walls, hanging lights, and marble tables.
