Join The Dark Side – 15 Weird Black Dishes In Singapore That Are Actually Edible

Gone are the days when a food turns out black, it means it is chaota (burnt) and inedible.

We daresay that black is the new sexy of food. Yes, it’s oddly attractive, satisfying and somehow even appealing.

The popularity of black coloured food probably began with Squid Ink pasta and maybe Risotto. Now, Squid Ink is widely used for everything edible, even desserts! If you are looking to add some colour (yes black is a colour, and pun unintended) to your palate, why not try some of these lesser known, out-of-this-world black creations?

1. Dolcetto By Basilico

Squid Ink Panini with King Crab and Prawns

We never knew black sandwiches could look so appealing. This Squid Ink Panini with King Crab and Prawns is stuffed with generous servings of crab meat and prawns fillings which complement the warm, slightly crispy bread on the outside.

Squid Ink sandwiches should definitely be a thing!

2. Black Squid Ink Macaron with Mascarpone Cheese and Smoked Salmon 

Also, another creative and novel creation is the Black Squid Ink Macaron with Mascarpone Cheese and Smoked Salmon – MUST TRY!

Who says macarons can’t be savoury?

Sounds #craycray but this Squid Ink pasta inspired macaron is weirdly unique yet surprisingly delicious! 😛

Dolcetto by Basilico

Your first reaction towards this would probably be a disgusted “Ewww what is this? Engine oil ah?” but let us reassure you. It is food. The Japanese Black Curry tastes rather similar to normal Japanese curry and is perhaps a bit tastier and slightly saltier. Give it a try and soon you will start pouring it generously all over your rice, noodles, chicken, sushi…and probably everything served at Kiseki Japanese buffet. Yumz.

Try it at:
Kiseki Japanese Buffet Restaurant
Orchard Central, #08-01/02/03

4. Mini Black Charcoal Egg Custard Bun – The Pipe District

Charcoal Fish & Chips

Okay let’s be honest, we would all agree that this just looks like some badly chaota (burnt) fish and looks slightly unappetising. But let’s not judge a fish by its batter. We’re giving The Pipe District credit for its creativity and effort! 🙂

6. Charcoal Battered Onion Rings

If you are trying the Fish & Chips, why not go all black and order their Charcoal Battered Onion Rings as well?
