#(ocean) bloom

The Ocean Bloom ✨ (S$6) featured torched Atlantic redfish 🐟 topped with wasabi tobikko, garlic chilli and lime, alongside torched Norwegian salmon with minced tuna, lobster 🦞 salad and shredded crab stick — a delightful blend of umami and bright, refreshing notes.

The 8pcs Blossom Tide 🌊 (S$7) delights with a spring selection of cooked scallops with mentai mayo, octopus 🐙 with creamy mayonnaise and bonito flakes, Atlantic redfish 🐟 with a zesty lime finish, and salmon with mentai mayo — rich, creamy and refreshingly satisfying. I also grabbed a 2pcs Crab Stick Sushi 🦀🍣 (S$2) in addition to the above two bento sets.

(ocean) bloom by Radiohead & Hans Zimmer

Radiohead’s Bloom came out in 2011′s The King Of Limbs. I remember being thrown out of whack listening to it - unsure what to make of it at the time. Several years later, the songs on the album grew on me. I became more comfortable with, appreciating the rhythm on rhythms and little quirks. Bloom is a marvellous song, and to see Hans Zimmer and Radiohead come together for this heartstopping version, (ocean) bloom, is just phenomenal itself. There isn’t any final version released but this YouTuber did a fine job isolated the track from the David Attenborough narration on the Blue Planet II video.

Bloom (Jamie xx Rework Part 3) by Radiohead & Jamie xx

The 2017 Hans Zimmer rework reminded me of another great rework of Bloom by Jamie xx, who is one of my all-time favorites.  (It’s pretty crazy to know that Zimmer and Jamie both have their versions of the same Radiohead song!)

The original Bloom (Jamie xx Rework) came in TKOL1234567 - the companion remix album to Limbs. This final version came out a little after with our boy Jamie deciding to go all out mental with the steel pans - solid decision mate. Jamie’s even gone on to say this song is the one he’s most proud of making.

“This was a step up for me at that point [in my career]. I entered a new realm of making dance music. Thom Yorke sent me a nice email asking me to do it, and then I got to meet him when we played Boiler Room together. The pressure was on for that one, but I felt so honored to be able to do it.” - Jamie xx
