I haven’t had pearls in such a long time that I forgot how chewy and sweet it can be. Taro milk bears resemblance to like a bur bur cha cha. Won’t it be just perfect if there were some mini red rubies in replace of pearls

It’s always cosy and homely in Kim’s Family Korean Restaurant. And of course the 12 plates of side dishes are always so wonderful. We had the beef and pork barbeque set but felt the price was a bit steep for those few pieces. Kimchi jjigae and naengmeon were tasty too. It was a good experience and would definitely return!

Love it that The Coffee Academics is so spacious and accommodating during this period of safe distancing. For our group of 5, we had an enjoyable time with their great service and food recommendations. Overall, the three-meat pizza was a tad too salty but the truffle mushroom pizza was delicious! The thin crispy crust is a rare sight amongst the cafes in Singapore, but I very prefer that to the thick doughy ones.

Even the salted egg carbonara and Chili crab linguine had a good amount of sauce wrapped around the strings of noodles. Splendid time for our evening celebration!

I had the Pulled Pork Egg Benedict. The egg flows beautifully when you pierce into it and it goes well with the sweet, tangy pork shreds and the fat slices of brioche. Having said that, the salsa wasn’t the most necessary and this dish could have gone without it. Some of the rocket leaves were turning yellow. With more variation in the leaves and a layer of balsamic vinegar and olive oil, the magic of this dish can be brought out better.

Amongst the cafes that carry matcha drinks and desserts in Singapore, I have to say Hvala is top notch. These desserts are beautifully crafted, with different level of flavours nested in each of them. The richness of the tea is something you won’t fail to miss. While the price of $8.80 is steep, it’s becoming a common price point for such little bites.

Pretty surprised when I saw this huge portion of food. The poached eggs came out perfect, it opens beautifully when your knife runs through it. The little cubes of cheese provided that dimension of creaminess and sourness to the toast. Would definitely recommend this simple yet fulfilling brunch choice!

✨ Was blown away by the flavour and depth of the shrimp broth. The soup is slightly spicy and not too heavy, so it is easy to finish the whole bowl.

I got the shrimp dumpling noodles while my partner got the Ebiko prawn paste. Both are good options if you’re lazy to peel prawns!

We got the Green Ramen and the Black Ramen. Unlike some ramen, this broth was lighter. The combination of basil and cheese was interesting, but it did complicate the flavours of the tonkotsu broth. On the other hand, the black ramen had a strong taste of seafood and garlic. Adding a tablespoon of vinegar definitely did shake things up a bit.

Other than food, I was terribly put off by the music. It was jarring and didn’t go well with the ambience. Sadly the staff I spoke to said that the music could not be changed.

We had 1-for-1 the regular (larger) Salmon Don. The salmon was fresh, crunchy, and I enjoyed the larger sized cubes. However, was disappointed with how dry the rice was. Overall, worth it with burpple beyond.

Exceptionally satisfied after a beautiful meal at Fat Belly consisting of buttery and decadent steaks, simple yet delicious mushrooms, and the best burnt cheesecake I’ve ever had the privilege to have.

My sisters were raving about this calamansi palette cleanser. True to their words, I thoroughly enjoyed the tanginess of this slushie after a fulfilling meal of hotpot

We fell in love with this cheesecake. It oozed soufflé cheese from the middle, while the edges reminded us of Japanese Cheesecake. Taking a spoonful of both sides along with a dollop of the raspberry jam, it was most definitely a good balance of sweet and sourness. The idea of smearing pomegranate sauce was excellent too. Delicious.
