They are famous for their pastas, which are topped with freshly grated parmesan cheese. Their mashed potatoes are homemade with fresh potatoes, not premix. They brine their chicken to maintain its moisture while cooking, and source their 220gm Australian grass-fed beef from Huber’s Butchery. They baste the steak, which other Western stalls don’t usually do. Recommended: chilli crab pasta ($10.50), spicy prawn pasta ($10.50), creamy bacon & mushroom pasta ($9.50), chicken chop ($8.80), and Mediterranean ribeye steak ($18.50).

Halal burgers at about $5. Recommended: char-grilled teriyaki chicken burger with sesame coleslaw, sunny side up egg and bonito flakes.

It’s a partnership between Garcons (Enoch Teo and Immanuel Tee) and Kevan Tan. Two Hands serves contemporary western cuisine with modern skewers, pasta and rice bowls. Signature dishes: foie gras skewers ($7.90), duck leg confit spaghetti ($15.90) and striploin ricebowl.
