Platypus Test Kitchen @ Clifford Center

Ventilation along Clifford Centre is pretty bad – walking out without smelling like what you ate is nearly impossible. Platypus test kitchen is yet another.



Place your order at the counter, take a number and wait for food to be served. It really is as simple as it sounds.

Handmade Meatballs ($8.90)

Tender meatballs in pomodoro sauce

Pomodoro sauce was a tad too salty though the meatballs were pretty good.

Garlic Shrimp ($5.90)

Prawns sautéed in olive oil, garlic and finished with parsley

Decent one once again, well marinated crystal prawns with garlic flakes!

Wild Rocket Salad ($5.90)

Wild Rocket tossed in aged balsamic vinaigrette

Looked absolutely like a snowy mountain cap with the parmesan cheese rained on it.

Baby Greens and Crispy Duck Salad ($10.50)

Crispy duck confit, baby greens, orange vinaigrette

I was sold on crispy duck confit and well, was introduced to a different interpretation of duck confit. Fried to a crisp, the duck shreds were so fine that you barely taste it. Baby greens were a tad course – I’ve honestly never had these sprigs of greens before, those with curly wurls of tendrils sprouting out. I already make my salad sound like a green monster. The orange slices and tomatoes did give this a sweet finish though. Not one of the bestest eaten, neither was it worst – starting off earthy and ended up decent.

Ask me not why this meal ended up picking everything else but their signature pasta which every other table spotted. Perhaps next time!
