Visited Rise Bakehouse at Chinatown on a Thursday afternoon and had to queue around 12:30pm. We shared the Scallop Rose Rigatoni ($23.90++)—flavourful sauce with a good kick, but the scallops were unfortunately a bit rubbery. It’s quite rich, so sharing was a good call.
The Fish & Chips with Curry Mayo ($20.90++) was a pleasant surprise—light, airy batter and the curry mayo really elevated the dish.
My sister enjoyed her flat white ($6.50++), and I had the Strawberry Matcha Cloud Latte ($9++) , which was cloudy, foamy, and nicely balanced. Would return for the drinks and fish, and try the soft shell chilli crab rigatoni and desserts next!
Visited GO Noodle House with my cousin. She had the Pan Mee in Hakka Sauce with Century Egg and added pork slices—something she was glad she did, as the minced meat portion was on the lighter side. That said, she still preferred my dish: the Signature Bursting Meatball Noodle Soup, which is her usual order.
I went for the à la carte version and added Spanish pork slices separately, which gave me 5 bursting balls (instead of 3) and 3 slices of pork—perfect for someone who really enjoys the soupy meatballs. They’re incredibly flavourful and pair beautifully with the house chili. I chose Mi Xian noodles, which had a great texture and held up well in the broth I chose — the original one, which came with huadiao wine. I would love to try their suan cai soup next.

My friend enjoyed the smoothie bowl. The soup was a little salty for my taste, but still delicious with a strong truffle aroma and nice mix of greens. The drink was a letdown—strong matcha paired with a strawberry flavour that reminded me of Movenpick ice cream, not strawberry purée.
Loved the generous chunks of crab meat and perfectly al dente pasta. The herb-forward flavour really shines, so herb lovers will enjoy this. Tried uni for the first time—wasn’t for me, but it might be for you!
Loved this dish! The scallops were well-seasoned and not at all rubbery. The tomato cream sauce was rich without being too heavy, and the radish slices added a refreshing crunch. Pasta could’ve been a little more al dente for my liking, but overall still satisfying.
Would return just for this!
The plating was gorgeous, and the portion generous. The seabass fillet was nicely cooked with crispy skin, though I personally wished the skin was just a touch more salted to bring out the flavour.
The added pieces of deep fried fish skin were unnecessary to me. Plus, it was not crispy.
The asparagus was a great pairing—tender and fresh. The sauce had red pepper taste and more abundant than past reviews suggested (a win for pepper lovers!), but as someone who isn’t big on pepper, the strong infusion wasn’t to my taste.
Caviar was alright—adds a nice touch visually, but don’t expect high-grade quality. Overall, a decent dish if you enjoy pepper-forward sauces.
