Tomato Gazpacho. The best dish, also the best value, at only 6 Sing dollars. (Add 10% service charge and 7% GST to the bill.)
This close up shows the almost invisible ginger, like what we in or from Britain call a jelly (Americans use the brand name Jello).
Another vegetable dish, at the same price, S$6, was spinach.

The round, red, doorway stickers tell us that the restaurant had the prestigious and internationally understood Michelin mentions, awards?, in 2018, 2019 and right now at the time of our visit, 2021.
The best dish at Bam was my starter, a cold tomato soup with pieces of ginger. It looked great and tasted greater. Highly recommended.
We chose the tapas, the individual plates, not the seat meal.
Our Chinese friend Shan, one of Trevor's former colleagues, lives part of the year in Japan so she is knowledgeable about Japanese food as well as Asian food. Trevor is the wine expert. I just eat. And write. And take great photos.
This picture taken by the waiter is lightly askew. I tried editing it to get the horizontals correct. However, that cuts off my shoulder. So I have left it looking tipped and tipsy. In addition to the smiles all around, I love the yellows and reds.
What can you see in this photo? Unusual cutlery. Knives, forks and spoons and cutlery rests. We were also given chopsticks and chopstick rests.
The neutral colour table top and walls are offset by the cheerful red water tumblers. The red water glass co-ordinates with the red wine, and my red top.
Every dish comes with a dip or sauce, contrasting colour, texture and taste.
My companions ordered shellfish. One of the dishes was Taraba Crab Cake. I am allergic to that so I ate more of the chicken wings, at Shan's kind suggestion.
The composite savoury cakes (a bit like so-called fish cakes) included one of yellow corn, which we mostly eat as corn on the cob. it is listed on the menu as white corn, and the corn kernels are in a thick white sauce in the batter. (Americans call the corn, maize. Off the cob - it looks like squashed yellow peas.) The yellow corn kernels were in a white sauce, inside a fish cake like deep fried batter, a contrast of textures.
