Surprisingly Good Chinese Good Only came here for the XLB, left with their beef brisket noodles and red bean pancake. Food is very authentic and exceeded my expectations and what made the experience better was the owners — a very humble couple who hail from China. Red bean pancake taste very nostalgic. Could be crispier, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless.

Surprisingly Good Chinese Food Only came here for the XLB but left with their beef brisket noodles and red bean pancake. Food is very authentic and exceeded my expectations and what made the experience better was the owners — a very humble couple who hail from China. Noodles were Al dente even though I spent some time taking photos and the beef was extremely tender and juicy, did not hurt my teeth when I chewed on them.

Thick Cut Beef Shank The 牛腱 (Beef Shank) had lots of tendons in it, which I LOVE! 😍 Paired with sweet chilli sauce on the side, these would have been perfect had they not been cut so thickly, which made it quite tough to chew on.

Juicy chicken wings and get the chicken satay! We also got quite a variety of satay ($0.80 each) and chicken wings ($1.40 each) from ABC Satay Chicken Wings and most were good! The chicken wings had a good savoury sweet marinade and were very tender and succulent. Though the mutton satay were tough, the chicken ones were tender and all were smoky. A good sharing dish!

Flavourful starchy oyster omelette with fresh oysters The Oyster Omelette ($6 for larger portion) from Tanglin were delightful too! The egg omelette is more starchy than crispy, which is actually the kind I prefer due to the more silky smooth texture. Oyster were plump and really juicy; many of them were bursting with juices in my mouth! Pair them with their garlicky spicy chilli and gets even better.

Ebi Curry Rice This is that unnamed zichar stall I've come to love on the same row as Tiong Bahru Yi Sheng Hokkien mee. This turned out funny haha. They probably intended Japanese style, but the curry was as spicy as it's sweet.

Live Boston Lobster Supreme Broth with Special Sauce Dry Noodle ($29.90) The broth was a bit spicy, and while it was quite seafoody I think we preferred if there was more of that natural sweetness. The prawn balls (steamed and fried) were bouncy and tasted like the prawn paste you get at hotpot restaurants. The prawns were pretty large and fresh. Would rather go for the noodles with wanton & meatballs, it’s more satisfying! And also much cheaper.

Double Treasure With Special Sauce Dry Noodle - Homemade Wanton and handmade Pork Ball ($12.90 So yummy! What a pity that they’ve closed on 27 Aug. There’s options for gong zai mian, youmian, and thick noodles. I chose youmian! It was done al dente so it had a nice bite, texture was good. Tossed in a scallion (& garlic?) oil + dark sauce mix, it was v fragrant and delish. There’s 2 stalks of blanched crunchy kailan too. The handmade wanton and handmade pork balls were soooo soft and juicy? Loved the chives flavour in the wanton. Probably the softest wantons & meatballs I've ever had. There isn’t any filler I believe, just meat. I do appreciate a bit of a bite since usually wantons/meatballs aren’t as soft, but this I enjoyed a lot too! Definitely would reco and I hope they will appear in sg again~

Spicy Chilli Oil Homemade Wanton [$6.90] The homemade wantons are done very plump with smooth and thin skin, but I’d personally like the meat filling to be just a tiny bit fattier for that juiciness. Between the homemade wanton and housemade pork balls, I prefer the latter! You can try them as a topping with your noodles.

GANBATEH diarrhea waffle Amazing splash of peanut butter. Very very generous

kaya waffle mom has been raving abt this waffle & she finally brought back some for us to try!! its sooo good 😭 when it was warm it was crispy but okay, but when it cooled down it turn super chewy & squishy & i actually prefer it this way! the kaya used is also really good, eggy & coconutty & RICH (which in malay is called kaya hehe learnt this in class) so u know its doing its job right. this is one of the best local waffles ive tried, maybe the best even. ❤️

Pure Pandan Extract Waffles If there’s anywhere you should get your waffles ,it has to be here. Unlike most places that use food colouring and or artificial pandan flavouring, Gambateh insists on using on fresh pandan extract from the real stuff - yo ! The red bean filling is a must try - so creamy , aromatic and not sweet at all . The waffles are both crisp outside and soft and fluffy within - absolutely Delish !

Set Meal + Salad Buffet Finally decided to go for Hamburg Steak Keisuke not only for their meats but their salad & egg buffet. Ordered the classic Hamburg Steak & Deep Fried Set (consist of 2 prawn, chicken & beef) for a total of $53.70 including gst and service charge. The deep fried item was delicious especially the prawn. Of course, the egg (especially the tamago) is really delicious and would something I can continuously go for.

Hamburg The Hamburg is not bad. Particularly liked the free flow sides bar. Convenient location too

Steak Rice Bowl Value for money lunch bowls here at Five Ten. I got the steak rice bowl which includes excellent tasting steak slices, onsen egg & beansprouts. Everything in their menu are priced at $5 & $10, which makes this place a value for money option for lunch at cbd area.

Steak | King Salmon The only $5 l $10 dishes will be serve at here. 😋

Fried Chicken ($5) Fried Chicken ($5) from @fivetensg is my favourite side to pair with a pint of lager. 😋 The savoury well-marinated fried chicken tasted extra flavourful when dipped in the creamy seaweed mayonnaise!

🎶There can be miracles, when you BEliEF~🎶 If you’re looking for a small bite at @barcanary, you should not give these BEEF sliders ($28++) a miss! 💕 . Featuring fluffy burger buns 🍔 sandwiching tangy gherkins (pickled cucumbers 🥒), sweet onion marmalade, crunchy fresh lettuce 🥬 & drizzled with honey mustard sauce, these mini burgers were a flavour bomb! 😋😋😋 The melted layer of savoury cheddar cheese 🧀 just aces it! Topped with juicy cherry tomatoes 🍅 that make it so much more appetizing to me! 😍😍😍 . The highlight is of course the thick juicy beef patty that was so irresistible! 🥩 Of a nice lean-fat ratio, you are bound to enjoy this tender patty that is well-marinated & seasoned. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Every bite will be bursting with flavourful juices so get your serviettes ready! 🤤 . Perfect bites to go with your drinks! 💯

You’ll always have a PIZZA my heart! 🍕🍕🍕 Yes, there has been a long-drawn debate & battle on whether there should be pineapples on a pizza. & it is obvious which side I’m on, isn’t it? 🍍 . Hawaiian Pizza is an all-time favourite for me ✔ so this 12-inch Aloha-Hawaii ($20++) at @barcanary was simply calling out to me! 😍😍😍 . Featuring a crispy thin crust with a nice crunch, it is laden with a generous amount of savoury chicken ham 🍖 & sweet pineapple cubes 🍍. Slathered with some tomato sauce 🍅 & a luscious coat of melted cheese 🧀, topped with some tart arugula (rockets), this combi is simply irresistible! 😋😋😋

TGIF friends!

Work-it Espresso Martinis Loved the cool breeze and the clear skies which allowed us to see stars. Staff were friendly. At no.5 emerald hill I had to tell the staff to make my espresso martini less sweet but this place makes it just nice. It's my second time here and it is a real hidden gem with its large variety of drinks available! (Even though I've only ever had the espresso martini)

Angus Striploin Steak ($29) Headed there for dinner but it is definitely more suited for drinks instead as there are only 8 mains (or large plates as they called it) available and when it gets dark, you can’t see your food much if you are seated near the sides (lighting is minimal and shine on the area near the bar instead). The food took a pretty long time to come and when the steak reached me, I was slightly disappointed to know that it wasn’t hot/warm. Portion was big though!

Black Angus Burger [$25++] Nice bar to chill at with great view (the cityscape is 💯)! Furthermore it's quite a secret local I must say cause I was having difficult finding my way there 😂 Downside is that there's no air con and it's outdoor so it will be pretty bad if it rains heavily. The food is great though. They served really amazing beef burger and the fries were so addictive. The beef is thick and juicy and the buns are nicely toasted. Don't mind having all these calories hehe (I would sacriFRIES my calories intake for you lol). Anyway you can catch a movie downstairs (which has air con haha). Would definitely go back again!

Yakitori Salmon ($24) Kinda ex for salmon and rice, but the coconut rice was really fragrant and the Vietnamese caramel drizzled over the rice was interesting. Might skip this next time tho as it's not the most value-for-money imo!

Crabcake Egg Benedict $22 Nosh is the perfect hideout among lush greenery both on the outside and it's interior wallpapers. Rustic chill accompanied by food that lives up to its good looks makes for a return visit. If not for the humidity and heat, you may actually forget you're in singapore 😅

What's for lunch? Throwback to our hearty brunch at this idyllic restaurant as we dig in the comforting Shakshouka, or nibble on small bites like Garlic Fries and Chicken Karaage.

Lovely Ambience Not a lot of restaurants in Singapore are set in a colonial bungalow in a park. And live music for weekend brunch. Totally made up for the okay but forgettable food. Hope they return with something similar.

Lavender Honey Roll ($7) + Flat White ($5.50). Lavender honey roll with lime fromage blanc, topped with slices of roasted pineapple and a tiny scoop of yoghurt sorbet on the side. - Taste-wise, the cake is quite nice. I like the lime fromage blanc! Very refreshing. The yoghurt sorbet is love! Wished for a bigger scoop of the yoghurt sorbet though. Texture-wise, the roll cake is a tad dense. Would be better if it's softer and fluffier. - #dessert #nosheryatnosh #noshsg #rochesterpark #teatime

Weekend Brunch Weekend brunch goals set in the lush greenery of Rochester Park. My picks are the Crab Benedict, Three-Stack Pancakes, and a cup of well-brewed flat white!
