Gunpowder whats new in the 852

Gunpowder

Open now on Wan Chai’s Ship Street, Gunpowder is serving a menu that includes everything from savoury street food bites, tandoori-grilled meats, freshly-baked breads and exotic curries, all with a modern twist. We tried the new opening out for ourselves and loved the signature “Gunpowder Chicken” ($98), along with the light, refreshing and flavourful Avocado Mango Bhel ($98). Those looking for a reasonably priced and satisfying lunch in the area need to check out Gunwpowder’s weekday set lunch. Priced between $108 and $138 (depending on choice of main dish), the deal includes appetisers, soup, a main dish and a choice of naan, rice and lentils. An express lunch featuring vegetable biryani ($78), chicken biryani ($88) and nizam kathi roll is also available and includes a soft drink.

Le Petit Saigon

Continuing its popular Bánh Mì du Monde series, Le Petit Saigon will be heading to India this month, with chef Palash Mitra’s creation. Available from Tuesday, 1 October, the latest special will be the Punjabi bánh mì ($98). Taking inspiration from the popular Kathi rolls eaten all over South Asia, the sandwich will feature Tandoori chicken tikka, chicken liver and fig chutney and a fiery tamarind and green chilli chutney, all housed in a fluffy baguette rather than the traditional roti.
