After Several Months Of Renovations, Humpback Returns With A Delicious Bang - Augustman Singapore

Running a successful restaurant is easy ‒ in theory. You serve food that is widely accepted to be delicious, serve it with service staff who are concerned and attentive to your clients' needs, and ensure that the décor, the interior design and even the music you're playing generally make people want to stay, or at least not make them want to leave. Humpback does all of the above really well.

They were closed for the past several months for renovations, but they're now back ‒ refreshed, rejuvenated and with a new menu. Humpback's legion of fans need not worry ‒ their signature oyster bar is still there, though in fancier new digs, but still serving the same fresh, high-quality oysters (S$8 each, minimum six per order) that Humpback is known for.

The varieties are the same ‒ the clean, crisp Hama Hama, the briny-sweet Summerstone and the earthy Blue Pool. But the seafood-centric menu has evolved, now neatly organised into Snacks and Bites, Small Plates, Large Plates and Desserts.

For starters, look out for the House-Cured Hamachi Pastrami (S$18) and the zesty Mussel Toast with Spicy Nduja (S$16, minimum two pieces). Winners among the small plates include the comfort food dish, Purple Clams with Toasted Koji and Green Asparagus (S$31) and the umami-sweet Red Prawn Tartare with Tosazu Jelly and Pomelo (S$26).

The large plates segment is where this menu truly shines, particularly in the inspired Marble Goby with Broccolini, Black Garlic and Mussels (S$52), a symphony of butter, juicy Australian mussels and immaculately pan-seared marble goby from Sumatra.

Humpback also features a diverse, playful wine menu that reads like a Spotify playlist, with over 60 labels in categories such as Itʼs (Almost) Always Sunny in Bukit Pasoh and The "Strawberry" Generation. The wine menu is specially curated by Marcus Tan, Principal Sommelier of Jigger & Pony Group.  Pair this with the ʼ80s and ʼ90s music playing on their speakers and you get the perfect restaurant experience: unpretentious, welcoming ambience, amazing food and impeccable service.

Humpback is located at 18-20 Bukit Pasoh Road, Singapore 089834, tel: 9772 9896

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu...

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles. From one year...
