🍝Mad About Pasta Tasting Menu ($32++)🍝
(1 Appetiser + 3 Pastas + 1 Dessert)

• Cold Angel Hair Pasta with Yuzu, Salted Seaweed and Ikura •
So let me start by saying: I really DO NOT like yuzu, what more in an item that’s supposed to be savoury. So I was pleasantly surprised by how they were able to incorporate the yuzu into the pasta without making it overwhelmingly tart and citrusy. 🍊
Honestly, the seaweed didn’t do much for me (except for a little of contrast in colours cos ~aesthetics~). BUT the ikura were like little flavour bombs, giving the Angel hair pasta a nice ocean-y taste 🌊

🍱 Hitsumabushi ($29.50++): Glazed with tare (sweetened soy-based sauce) and caramelised over charcoal fire, the Japanese freshwater eel served here is reeeally fresh and sweet.
It’s lightly crisp (& enveloped with a wonderful smoky flavour) on the outside, but oh-so-succulent and tender on the inside — it just melts in your mouth. They absolutely nailed the texture. 👍🏼
[Bonus: I LOVE the freshly-grated wasabi 💯💯 A little pinch of it really helped to enhance the taste of the unagi, whilst giving you that extra kick!]

These Maple Garlic Wings ($10/ 6 pieces) were crispy on the outside and tender, juicy & MOIST AF on the inside. CHEF’S KISS🧑🏻‍🍳👌🏼😘
Flavour wise, (disclaimer: I LOVE GARLIC 🧄) so I really liked how the garlic permeated through the sweetness of the maple syrup and gave the wings a really bold flavour. This dish is reminiscent of Korean fried chicken 🍗, with a liiittle touch of Canada 😉🍁🍯
Just imagine this on waffle...🤤 OOOF🥴

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and we were taken aback by how empty the place was! For the entire hour and a half, we were the only patrons there. 😯
🍜 Served chilled, the Scallop Truffle Pasta ($18) came with a fairly decent amount of scallops. The broth was refreshing and light, yet umami — perfect for a hot day (basically every day in SG 🥵).
🍗 The Boneless Stuffed A-wings ($12 for 6 pieces) came with a Buah Keluak dipping sauce. Interesting pairing! For the uninitiated, Ayam Buah Keluak is a traditional Peranakan cuisine.
(If you’ve never tried it before, I think this is a good place to start — the buah keluak sauce is palatable, nothing too strong or overpowering!)
🍵 Matcha Milk with coconut jelly ($7) - not in picture: Huge cup (700ml) but too sweet for my liking. Taste wise... The drink just reminds me of the $2 sweet talk bbt 😂

To fellow Burpple Beyond users: take note of the timings you’re allowed to use the Beyond deals! We came on a Saturday afternoon and were a little disappointed that we were unable to use them. (We didn’t know that there were restricted timings for Premium users as well!)

🐟Cod Fish and Chips ($18.9): Decent plate of fish and chips — though nothing out of the ordinary or particularly memorable. But it was really worth it with Burpple Beyond!
🍝Laksa Pesto ($18.9): Again, nothing that really WOW-ed me. Couldn’t taste the pesto cream, so the pasta just tasted like Dry Laksa to me. I would’ve liked the sauce to be a little creamier (maybe a bit more coconut milk..?)

Vanilla Latte ($6): SMOOOOTH ☕️
Nice place for brunch, but this outlet is small, so it can get pretty packed.

🍝 Their Truffle Bacon Mushroom Farfelle ($17) was hearty and comforting. I loved the texture of the Farfelle and they’re really generous with their ingredients! 👍🏼
Thanks to Burpple Beyond, we paid 22 NETT in total for two mains. 🤩 So. Worth. It.
I’ll definitely come back to try the other mains! 🤗

I was REALLY excited when I chanced upon this highly-raved gelato shop (along South Bridge Road) on a sweltering hot afternoon.
🍦Without any hesitation, I swooped in for the Milk Oolong ($4). All I can say is: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE tea-flavoured ice creams, but this, unfortunately, did not make the cut for me.
The taste of the milk (reminiscent of powdered milk 🥵) was so IN YOUR FACE and it overpowered the Oolong — it was like 95% MILK 5% tea. ☹️ So... a no from me 🙅🏻‍♀️
🍦Tried my friend’s Pistachio ($4.7) and even though I’m not a fan of nuts, I have to say that this is really some good quality gelato.👌🏼 My only gripe is that the portion is so small...

🥗 It looks unassuming, but for its price point, I would say that it was a fairly satisfying bowl.
I had a Half Fusilli Pasta, Half Salad base with Smoked Salmon, Baby Spinach, Wakame, Egg Mayonnaise, Avocado, Tobiko and Spicy Mayonnaise — all for $12.

$27 for The Breakfast Works. Not worth it if you do not have Burpple Beyond (1-for-1).
❤️ Loved the buttery toasted Brioche and the creamy texture of the scrambled eggs.
💔 Bacon was overcooked and a tad too salty (and dry) for my liking.
🤣 There was only ONE slice of “smoked” salmon (inverted commas cos TBH it just tasted like stale sashimi). For $27, I would definitely expect more, but since I was using Burpple Beyond, I have no complains!
☕️ Coffee was amazing! We had a hot Mocha ($5.50) and a hot Vanilla Latte ($5.50). Full-bodied. Smooth. Loved it. 💯
I would definitely come back here for a satisfying cuppa, but for the food... I guess there’s still some room for improvement!

☕️ Ordered their Iced Mocha ($6.5) the first time I came here, but I wasn’t quite impressed with it. (TBH I still think it’s quite ridiculous for cafes to charge >$0.5 for the iced version of the same drink 🤷🏻‍♀️) ANYWAYYY, this time I got the Hot Mocha ($5.5) and it was a lot more satisfying. So I’m definitely not paying a dollar more for the iced mocha anymore 🙅🏻‍♀️
🥐 The bakes are pretty ex. I think the Kouign Amann was not bad, but for $6... 🤔... It wasn’t mind-blowing. I think I’ll stick to Tiong Bahru Bakery’s.
✨ I love the chill vibes here & will definitely drop by for my afternoon cuppa if I’m in the vicinity.
