When the night falls, Drunken Farmer comes alive taking over Common Man Coffee Roasters at Stanley and Joo Chiat. A frivolous affair made for beautiful natural wines and proper grubs only.
Drunken Farmer is brewing up its signature brand of unadulterated funk to natural wine lovers and families living in the east with the launch of a second sourdough-focused bistro and natural wine bar concept in the colourful Joo Chiat neighbourhood on the East Coast.
Curated with a focus on feeding the posse of wine-loving pals or family nights out, the menu at Joo Chiat brings in a small but sumptuous introduction of new dishes.
Adding on to the widely-received sourdough-centered menu conceived back in its Le Vin Levain days, diners can first line their bellies with snacks including the anchoring signature Sourdough Karaage pictured below (S$20) for a juicy crunch of slow-marinated then sourdough battered chicken thigh chunks with a zingy homemade kimchi mayo; seasoned and skewered Prawn Sticks (S$20) that are best enjoyed with drizzles of smoke paprika aioli, and a perennial Sharing Spread Platter (S$22) of pita bread served alongside a hearty trio of avocado cream, pumpkin hummus and seeds praline for dips.
Diners who are fans of Chef Paul Albert’s sourdough pizzas pictured below will be enticed with two new variants that are true to classic inspiration, but enlivened with a perfect airy and slightly tangy chew brought forth from Chef Paul’s 160-year-old sourdough starter.
The first is a Chorizo (S$23) that layers pork chorizo coins and red onions over a mozzarella and tomato slathered base, while the Four Cheeses (S$28) combines a funky nose of ricotta, mozzarella, ossau iraty and blue cheese that comes finished simply with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Wine lovers in search for a convivial watering hole in the east can look forward to a rotation of 14 labels available by-theglass (from S$18) for fresh discoveries at every return, or have their pick from a bottle selection of over 80 labels (from S$87) that is well on its way to offering the largest selection of orange wines and pèt-nat in Singapore. For the unintiated or adventurous, the Farmer’s Selection (S$50) offers three glasses curated by our natural wine experts to help begin your natural wine journey or simply pair with your meal.
