Was staying in nearby Conrad for the weekend but didn't fancy anything too elaborate for dinner so settled for a quick meal at Space @ My Humble House at the Esplanade.
Playing neighbour to it's more illustrious sibling, My Humble House (which by the way didn't quite impress me on my previous visit), Space has a nice modern, minimalistic vibe to it - definitely not some place you would expect to find local favourites like chicken rice, hokkien mee and the likes. But at a premium of course.
Mama Leong's Chicken Rice - Apparently this humble dish was named after Sam Leong's mum. And I thought it was good - tender, moist and seeping with flavour. You have the option of ordering an entire chicken ($32), half a chicken ($18) and single portion @ $12. Rice is an additional $1/head and though fragrant and seemingly prudent with the oil, lacked the fluffiness that I would have liked.
Fried Radish Cake with Freshly-peeled Crabmeat, Whole Prawns, Juicy Scallops and Egg - I loved the extravagance of this dish - huge prawns and scallops coupled with copious amount of egg. However it lacked the slightly charred taste and came across as bland. Somehow everything just didn't seem to meld together. The radish cake wasn't exactly smooth and silky either.
A quick meal of local dishes cost us to the tune of $48 (inclusive of a small cup of watermleon juice @ $6). The chicken rice was good but the radish cake only made it to average based on the merit of the prawns and scallops; without which, it would have languished at the bottom half of the scale. Service was decent but hardly a selling point.

My colleagues and I popped over to the Space @ My Humble House by Tung Lok Group last week to sample a Singapore Food Sampler in a bid to support the Singapore Food Festival. As the name suggests, the Singapore Food Sampler is basically a few of our local dishes served in sample sizes, allowing us to savour some and not just one dish at a go. Wanting to dine in style as reward for our hard week’s work, we decided on the slightly eccentric My Humble House instead of the usual hawker centre to sample our local fare...

What's in a $20 bowl of wantan mee?
For a start, the noodles are replaced by angel hair pasta which are submerged in a clear, light yet flavourful chicken broth.
To put the "wantan" in the wantan mee, 3 individually wrapped wantan of different fillings complete the masterpiece pleasing to the eyes as well as the palate. One with scallop, one with crab meat, one with... uh, I forgot.
That's a glimpse of Chinese fusion fine dining for you.
Oh yah, I liked the way they used green apples for their interior decor.
Don't confuse Space @ My Humble House with its 'mothership', My Humble House though. Because everything there will cost you much more, something like $80 a dish for entrees.
