Pity that I can’t post more than 1 photo. I had a feast here with friends. The charred corn som tum (pictured) was punchy, tangy and refreshing and I didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as I did. The moo ping smoked pork ribs were delicious, tender and fall-off-the-bone, the squid was grilled nicely and the shrimp omelette was savoury and crispy, even the prawns were bouncy. I also got the milo martini (great if you like something creamy and full of flavour in every sip!). We rounded off with lemongrass jelly which was perfect to cut through the heavy meal. Satisfying meal!

Found this to be a cosy restaurant tucked in the heart of MBFC and I was pleased with the Irish duck confit. Great blend of textures and savoury flavours with the sweet potato mash, edamame, chick peas and greens. The duck skin was also very crispy and the meat was tender.

I have to rave about the raspberry cheesecake parfait, which was a happy find. The sorbet was tangy and refreshing a nice balance to the cheesecake parfait.

I would recommend choosing the duck over the steak. Enjoyed myself here and good for cosy dinners.

If you’re looking for a homely place with dependable good food at good prices — this is it! We had the New York Strip (200g) medium rare, Mom’s Mac and cheese and brownie with ice cream. In total the bill was about $65-70 SGD.

Good for hangouts with friends, dates, (and I’m sure the variety of Mac and cheese dishes will be a hit for those with kids) at this cosy restaurant, this is conveniently located close to the 6th Avenue MRT. This is a no frills place with good portions. For your steak you get to choose 2 from a wide variety of sides. The Mac and cheese is heaped generously with ham, mushroom and yes - lots of oozy cheese pull. 😋

The best thing was the broth that came in a sizzling hot pot. It was so packed with flavour and savoury, with a nice sweetness from the prawns. I got the Supreme Prawn Noodle, one of their signatures.

We were also instantly sold by the variety of side dishes and being huge ngoh hiang fans...got the tasting platter which was not bad and a generous portion for 2 people. The biggest standout for me was adding on cheesy otah, it was served warm and was so delicious. Fish cake was alright. Ended up being too much so we packed the platter home. 😅

Overall pleased with my first experience here. If you're looking for an elevated prawn mee – this is it. I'll be back for the broth. Expect a casual dining setting, nothing fancy ambience-wise but definitely worth a try because of the soup.

I had the Memory Trove Gift Set which consisted of: 4 Nonya, 4 Hokkien (with salted egg) rice dumplings, and 1 kueh salat cake. The delivery came in an impressive box, plus, this set was a huge hit with my entire family!

🥰 Nonya bazhang: I thought the ratio of rice to meat was perfect, and the meat was seasoned such that its not too sweet. I'm usually a fan of savoury, so I was pleasantly surprised that I liked this so much.

⭐️Hokkien bazhang (with salted egg): These were savoury and were packed with ingredients, and has been my family's go-to for years now.

👍 As for the kueh salat cake, I found that it was just the right size. Not too big and enough to share for a family of 5-6. The top custard layer is just the right level of sweetness and of a nice consistency.

I had lunch with a friend here and was so impressed by their wagyu steak. I’m still thinking about how juicy and full of flavour it was from my first bite. I’m usually a tough critic on my steaks and hate when it tastes rubbery, but the steak I had here met my expectations and more — when seasoned with a little sea salt on the side, was SO savoury, smoked to perfection. I love a tender steak! Also, I liked that FBS was a 3min walk from botanics mrt, so it was very accessible. We had a series of dishes and on the whole was really satisfied with everything, the staff are nice and hospitable plus the food was served at just the right pace. For starters, we had the sourdough and it looks unassuming, but it was torched in front of our eyes, so the result of that was a crisp, perfectly buttered, just-enough portion to whet your appetite. This was served with the burrata, in little bite-sized pieces and was served with pesto, which was delicious. Cheesecake was homemade and of a firmer texture, balanced with yuzu (which I found quite zesty), and topped with tangy berries so that made for a rich, fuller flavour (but you’ll definitely want to share this dessert as it feels a bit much if just for 1 person). The star for me in all this was still the wagyu steak of course (I think this was the Denver for $68), which was so tender, as well as steak with fries ($32). The latter was still good but is firmer. Overall really enjoyed this cosy little steakhouse, nice for dates, both romantic or with good friends!
