Finally came back again after almost 2 years! Last timeI had their Blue Milk and quite liked it. However, I felt that the Blue Milk this time is too sweet and there was this powdery-milky taste to it which lingers. Not sure if standard dropped or that day the batch was just off

Tried the Brownies and Baileys for the first time and oh boy was it yummy! It isn’t in their popular flavours but it should be!! The brownie flavour shined with the baileys coming through to give that tad of alcoholic sweet note. Will be back next time for this flavour again 🄰
Their waffles is always good, its fluffy with a good density and crisp at the sides. Enjoyable! Total came to $14.50, its definitely on the pricier side so guess I won’t be heading down anytime soon

Went on a Wednesday evening and it was already crowded for dinner. Place was reminiscent of school with wooden tables and chairs with blackboard showcasing its menu and quirky menu books looking like school textbooks šŸ˜†

Their Intestines Oyster Mee Sua was pretty good- vinegary soup which is not too thick, soft oysters and generous amount of ginger at the side! Do give it a try.
I ate it with the Taiwanese sausage as a side and i think its too thick and dense which wasn’t that enjoyable unfortunately...

Their chicken rice to me was pretty mehh and having chicken rice at this place may not make your trip worthwhile as its a pretty common dish.

The star of this place is their Lu Rou Fan which looks glistening and literally melt in your mouth while still maintaining its flavour🤤you can order it as a set which comes with the cabbage, soft boiled eggs and a drink. Heads up, their eggs are just plain bad. Their brown sugar bubble tea has just the right amount of sweetness and the bobas were so QQ. It was also worth the price given a big glass and they also use metal straws šŸ‘

I’ve heard of Wimbly Lu before but have never went down so since we were at Creamery Boutique which is just nearby Wimbly Lu, we decided to head there. From the outside, the ambience and interior already made fall in love with this place; it exudes elegance and a chill vibe with the dim lightings and vintage furnishingsšŸ‘Œ

Ordered their Waffle with Truffle Chocolate ice cream ($10.50) and for a place like this, no service charge? šŸ‘ The waffle came not too long after while we were busy admiring and posting on the beautiful interior, we realised we were given 2 scoops of ice cream and it has been decorated as a bear 🐻!! So cute of the staff who prepared it. Might be because we waited outside for a good 15 mins due to social distancing. Really thankful to the staff ā˜ŗļø

Back to the waffle. Holy cow!! The waffle is so light and airy yet perfectly crispy on the outside it reminded me of Hong Kong Egg Waffle! So delicious and the portion was well worth the money🤤 paired with the generous ice cream given, it went so well together šŸ‘ I have found my new favourite waffle spot and I definitely will be back to have more of it and try different things šŸ’Æ

Came on a Wednesday evening and pretty packed. Small place. Got their Volcano which is charcoal cookie with salted egg molten lava filling and atop we went with ice cream choice of Toasted Bread which is vanilla. Pretty underwhelmed by the size when it came as it was pretty small given the price of $10.90. However, taking a boomerang shot of the lava oozing out is a must and we ate it while its still hot.

Wow, the combination of the crumbly charcoal cookie which is already yummy on its own paired with the flavourful salted egg and vanilla ice cream went extremely well together! šŸ˜ The salted egg wasn’t so heavy and thick which didn’t make it feel jelat after a while šŸ‘ Couldn’t stop going for more bites and it was finished in no time (even mopped up the bits) cuz its sooo good! Will be back for the Volcano and try a different combination as well :)

Japchae was nicely seasoned and delicious, Seafood pancake crispy and generous with seafood fillings. The sauce to accompany the pancake was good as well. The stir fry beef with sauce was quite good, enjoyed it. The kimchi soup is standard albeit on the sour side. The fried chicken however is different; was surprised at the coating of the chicken. It was more tempura-like and expected it not to be crispy. However, it was pretty crispy and the chicken is fresh. Taste was a letdown however as it was bland. Order the one with sauce instead. Most of the banchan (side dishes) are subpar. Overall, pretty standard and no standout dishes.

Bought 4 and got 1 free. Flavours from top to bottom:

- Apple Of My Eye (5.90/slice)which is a Apple Crumble flavour. Really good and strong apple crumble with the cinnamon shining and apples tart n crunchy. Reminds me of Mcdonald’s apple pie but cold with just the filling. Enjoyable tho as a cheesecake not sure if it is.

- Charred Eclipse ($5.90/slice) which is supposed to be the basque cheesecake. Too sour and not enough burn on the top to give that caramelised and charred flavour. Skip this.

- Maneki Neko ($7.90/slice) which is tangy lemon and yuzu. So so good no doubt favourite of all from the lot. The yuzu and the cake aspect goes so well together. Might just get it as a whole cake next time šŸ‘Œ

- Naughty and Nice ($5.90/slice) which is the devil’s chocolate has a good bitter chocolatey flavour which is rich in depth. Good as a chocolate cake but then the chocolate too rich it covers the cream cheese flavour.

- King Cat of the Mountain ($7.90/slice) which is the durian flavour. Biggest disappointment because it tasted so artificial like the durian cream in cream puff. Blueh.

This dessert has got to be the most satisfying end to a meal at Kai Garden. So far, this reign the best dessert out of all the Chinese restaurant I’ve been to! The coconut is so sweet and easy to slurp with bits of jelly and coconut flesh. It’s portion is pretty big too that no matter how full, I’ll always have room for an extra serving! 🄰

Kai’s Garden Peking Duck has got to be one of the best or at least the best for me. The get the skin of the duck so crisp and flavourful and u get to wrap them in the popiah skin that comes in different colours which makes it interesting. Not just that, they can be paired with 5 different sauces (sesame, black pepper, mustard, normal sweet sauce and a slightly thicker version of the sweet sauce) U get to try different flavours but the sweet sauce is still my favourite.

Get this. Such a memorable dish and I always order it whenever we are there. The pork itself has so much flavour and a good bite when surprise, there’s a sweet coconut cream waiting for you when u get to the core of the balls 🤤 goes so well together!!

Place is hidden but very spacious and nice place to chill with both indoor and outdoor seatings.

Had the CMP ($9.90) which is chicken, mushroom and pesto pasta. It’s good and i liked it but for a kick u can request to make it spicy 🌶 The Hot Choco ($3.90)kinda tasted like milo and was pretty small.. u can skip it.

Not in picture: Had the cream of mushroom ($3.90) which comes with a garlic bread. Order it, it’s pretty good and the bread is bigger than average and it’s pillowy. We ordered three more bread for $1 each.

Super intrigued by this dessert ($16) not just by the ingredients and how they will come together but also the visuals. So unique.

This has got to be our favourite item at Thevar, out of all we had. Ending off on a really delicious note with this. There seems to be so much going on but once you eat it, everything makes sense as they all blend together perfectly; the taste & the texture really made this dessert so enjoyable. The halwa kulfi wasn’t too sweet and goes well with the basil oil. The main sweetness comes from the honeycomb biscuits and bites from the pistachios and raisins. A surprise layer of coffee cream/mousse (?) beneath it added such a different dimension to the dish. Really well done and perfectly executed šŸ˜

This was a dish my partner had and when it first came, we both thought the same thing. That’s it? Haha.. the plate looked rather empty with just a dollop of the sauce at the side. šŸ˜…

The pork chop ($42) was very flavourful and good even on its own. It was well grilled and marinated that eating it with the sauce elevated the dish with the sweet notes of the mango curry. A good pairing indeed. Only gripe is maybe they could have put some fresh salad at the side to accompany the dish to add some freshness, crunch and visuals of the dish. Just a thought .. 🧐
