Lakeview 4/4 - Unagi Rice Bowl The 𝗨𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗶 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝘄𝗹 ($9.90) had room for improvement because the unagi was dry and tough. However we loved the achar in this bowl, as its crunchy and tangy profile was very refreshing.

Lakeview 3/4 - Meat Lover Pao Fan Although the pork slices and meatballs in the 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝗼 𝗙𝗮𝗻 ($9.90) cannot be faulted, we felt the flavour of the broth could've been bolder.

Lakeview 2/4 - Seafood Porridge The 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 ($10.90) was a hit as well. The porridge, manifesting a smooth and creamy consistency, was amazing. The fresh seafood inside -- prawn, fish, squid and oyster -- were stunningly scrumptious.

Matcha White Chocolate Mochi Muffin ($4.50) The texture of the mochi muffin is quite interesting - very chewy but dense, like a cross between chewy bread and mochi. The matcha and white chocolate flavours are just average. Quite overpriced for the small size and average taste, wouldn’t buy again but it was okay just to try once, to experience a different texture and mouthfeel (don’t expect to be mind blown or anything). We visited on a Sunday and it was fairly quiet. I like the concept of the cafe, it was very spacious and cozy. Perfect for chilling or doing some work over coffee.

coffee 141 kohito $7 dark mocha $7 (i think the online menu states $7.50 for both drinks, probably not updated) i think these drinks were okayyyy nthg to shout about. kohito was an interesting mix of ice black + milk + mint, which takes a few mouths to get used to the taste. defo not for everyone but interesting combination nonetheless. dark mocha’s cocoa taste kinda overpowered the coffee taste have to take escalator up and it’s located in the middle (on the left after coming up)

Hot flat white and iced matcha latte. 1for1 Coffee tasted pretty normal and matcha latte felt too diluted. Pales in comparison with Hvala. Luckily it is 1for1.

Mia Restaurant 4⭐ Back at one of my favourite pasta cafe for dinner. Opt to top up $3 for the handmade tagliatelle and didn't regret it. The tagliatelle is akin to mee pok and yet is much more chewy. The pasta is well coated with the red sauce and is generous with the ingredients which consist of mussel, squid, clam and prawn. WB prefer a non pasta dish hence he had the wagyu burger. There is a choice of doneness for the beef patty and he prefers medium well. The beef patty is juicy and bread is toasted well. WB loves the shoestring french fries which is fried till very crispy. #MiaRestaurant #FruttiDiMare #WagyuCheeseBurger #Entertainersg #Entertainerappsg #HSBCEntertainer

Excellent Pasta Dishes Pasta dishes done well. Enjoyed the crabmeat tomato pasta and the vongole. Very worthwhile with the 1 for 1 deal.

Good food but inaccurate Burpple Description unable to use any discount I had explicitly travelled down all the way for dinner, with the understanding as per the application that either the 1-1 Donburi or 30% off total bill could be used. 1-1 states in the terms and conditions “not applicable for lunch deal”, which I acknowledge. I was there during dinner time and I was not going to opt for a lunch deal. Prior to ordering, I checked with the waiter whether I could use the 30% or 1-1 donburi deal. To my surprise, he pointed that the donburi 1-1 was only for the premium donburi and NOT for the other regular donburis which were NOT part of the lunch deal — they were ala carte donburis that we can purchase during the dinner service so I don’t understand how it was a lunch deal to the restaurant. Worse thing is the 30% was only available for the SHARING PLATTERS, but on the app it clearly stated “not valid with 1-1 deal” which is reasonable but it’s basically inaccurate advertising that deserves a further compliant because it is unethical to use the Burpple platform and yet deny customers any use of the Burpple vouchers when they had already arrived at the resto. The food and service was good and we did not complain with the staff as I suppose company policy is not his fault, but this is highly unethical and Burpple should look into ensuring that the resto isn’t lying about their offers stated on this app as we have paid for Burpple subscription, how can the restaurant claim that every page on their menu that is NOT a lunch deal is still a “deal” except their premium bowls? And how can they indicate NO EXCLUSIONS on their 30% off total bill but inform guest that this is only for sharing plates but not mains? Why not for mains if they didn’t exclude on Burpple? Dishonest.

Deep Fried Pork Belly Donburi After enjoying myself at the recent Burpple #Eatup hosted by the good folks from Saketoshi, I was back to check out their regular menu. Saketoshi serves a really good 1-for-1 donburi deal from Monday to Thursday nights. We really enjoyed their deep fried pork belly donburi. The pork belly is first braised (a la buta kakuni). It is then deep fried to give it a crispy crust whilst the pork belly retains its melt in your mouth goodness. This was tbh surprisingly good!

𝐔𝐍𝐈 𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐄𝐌𝐏𝐔𝐑𝐀 ($𝟐𝟒 - 𝟐𝐩𝐜) a lovely combination of shoyu sea urchin, seaweed tempura and truffle caviar😋😋 Creamy, crispy, salty - a perfect appetiser to go w the rice bowls.

decent sandos aesthetic cafe vibes but the sandos were quite small, would be good for a tea break pit stop. tried the losing nemo (salmon) sando but the amount of salmon given was quite little so would advice getting the others instead.

· 🥑 Exotic Taste of Avocado Toast 。... ~ · Avocado Toast - $17 · Generous portion of avocado on sourdough, and house guacamole with onsen egg by the side. Topped with dukkah, seeds, wild mushrooms and grana padano cheese. The slices of picked pear gave the exotic flavours to this avocado toast. I prefer the lemon version instead of picked pear · Grids Coffee @gridscoffeebar

Expensive & Small Ordered the pork katsu and salmon nemo(?) sandwiches, and they are very very expensive for the original price of around $18 each, and even with the burpple deal it still wasn’t worth it. The pork katsu was almost impossible to chew as it was really tough, and the salmon was very average. One positive is that there is a really nice ambience and people can go there to do their work and enjoy some coffee. Not recommended for the food, will definitely not be coming back Rating: 2/5 🌟

The cactus (tart) You don’t have a reason not to try Keong Saik, especially since it’s on Burpple!

Gd Gd

iced latte ($5) ✨️✨️✨️

Pain Au Chocolat Erm overnight and it seemed normal.

Croissant Erm overnight and it seemed normal.

Chicken Katsu Burger Interesting use of mushroom sauce. The egg also elevated the burger. Overall enjoyable!

1-For-1: Main Dish (~save $10) Savour the robust flavours of Chicken Tikka Biryani at DHABA1376 in Beauty World Food Centre. Affordable and delightful, it’s an Indian treat that won’t burden your wallet. Add a touch of spice to your day with this satisfying meal—a true feast for your taste buds!

Chicken tikka biryani (again) With the burpple 1 for 1, it is absolutely worth it. I think the biryani is the most logical thing to order. Just a reminder to not be there too late, because biryani rice usually runs out around 8pm, even when the stall closes around 9pm Had chicken tikka biryani again, so I'll just upload their menu for reference

1 for 1 mutton biryani 2nd time going, had mutton biryani for both set with burpple 1 for 1 deal. Slightly more expensive than chicken tikka biryani (11 dollars VS 10) As before, not super spicy and that's good. Happy to be back with the remaining deals. Hope they will renew. (Picture is the set that I dabao/takeaway) Edit: 1 serving I ate on site but did not take the picture. Difference is just the veggie/salad with mint chutney is missing when dabao/takeaway, which is fine for me.

Not as good a deal The Burpple menu is exactly the normal menu, just that everything is $10 more. Marketing it as “1-for-1” sounds good but frankly a bit deceiving. We ended up saving only $8 whole the app tells us we saved $24. Food is so-so, service is quite minimal, probably not coming back again.

Fake One for One discount Used to be legit one for one that’s pretty value for money, but now they have a SPECIAL BURPPLE menu where they jack up the price by $TEN dollars for each dish if you want to use the one for one. Really defeats the purpose of the discount and we ended up spending a ton of money, so wouldn’t be coming here again

1-for-1: Mains (save ~$24) Dig into comforting grub at Tipsy Tavern with their 1-for-1 Mains! Located in the heart of Tanjong Pagar, it's the perfect spot to enjoy rice bowls like their decadent Wagyu Hamburg Don or the satisfying Unagi Don, featuring a large slab of unagi atop fluffy scrambled eggs and rice. Don't miss out on this delicious deal with #BurppleBeyond! Photo by Burppler Jason Ng

Hand stretched pizzas @thatsmypizza at Bukit Timah Food Centre! Was there recently for dinner and chanced upon this pizza stall with quite a few people waiting around for their pizzas! Took one walk round the food centre and didnt fancy any other food, so decided to give the pizzas a go! They have many pretty interesting and unique pizza flavour choices! Initially wanted to order the tomato base applewood bacon pizza ($22), but they ran out of the bacon by the time it was our order, so we settled for our next choice instead which was the Special Base Japanese Chashu Kurobuta Pork ($28) It was a 30mins plus wait on a weekday evening! Their pizzas are handstretched and goes through a long fermentation process before being fire baked! The pizza has a chewier texture than normal pizzas, and there is a slight char on the crust! Will be back again to try the Applewood Bacon! 📍 Bukit Timah Market and Food Centre, 51 Upper Bukit Timah Rd, #02-198, Singapore 588215

Applewood Bacon Pizza Came to know of the existence of That’s My Pizza after chancing upon their social media pages online. Located at Bukit Timah Food Centre , That’s My Pizza takes over the stall that was previously occupied by the now-defunct Genesis Kitchen Grill & Pasta, That’s My Pizza is situated at the row of stalls that faces Upper Bukit Timah Road — it is also immediate neighbours to Go Pasta, and other notable stalls in the same row includes SLII Muffins as well. Being a relatively new addition to the food centre, That’s My Pizza offers patrons freshly-baked pizzas that are made upon order — their Instagram bio mentions their pizzas to come with pizza dough that is hand-stretched and also prepared with a long fermentation process for a dough that comes with deeper flavour, better texture and is easy to the stomach. Offering just pizzas here, the flavours of pizza available at That’s My Pizza are rotated on a daily basis — they do offer quite a few safe options such as that of the Hawaiian, Margherita and Pepperoni; there are however flavours that are more adventurous such as the Rosemary Garlic and Curry Chicken. That’s My Pizza also offers dessert pizzas such as that of the Chocolate Banana and Chocolate Marshmallow; the prices of the pizzas here ranges between $13.90 to $17.90 and comes in a standard size sliced into eight (8) slices good for 1-2 pax to enjoy. Going for the flavour that is being indicated “special” on their menu, the Applewood Bacon is a relatively simple pizza that comes with tomato purée, cheese, and applewood bacon. There is really nothing too complicated about the Applewood Bacon pizza that we have ordered, but we really found it to be at a quality that was pretty much restaurant-grade. For one, we really enjoyed the pizza crust that is lovingly made in-house here; the pizza dough here comes at just the right thickness — also liked how it wasn’t too dense and carried a good chew amidst the fluffiness with a nice hint of smokiness. The fermentation process for the dough also seemed to have delivered on what they had promised; the pizza crust indeed did feel easy to the stomach — nothing too overwhelming or carb-loaded like the commercially made ones from fast food restaurants out there. All the other ingredients just came together brilliantly; the combination of the cheese, tomato and bacon no doubt is a classic combination that would not go wrong, but the folks at That’s My Pizza most certainly got the proportions right here — there was never a moment one particularly condiment seem to have stole the limelight on its own but it’s that harmonious blend of oozy and stretchy melted cheese, tangy tomato purée and the savoury notes of cured meat that made this especially appealing. A pizza that definitely left us yearning for more. It is pretty much a shame that we made our visit to That’s My Pizza with just one other — the Applewood Bacon Pizza hit the spot so well that we were really intrigued to try out their other more adventurous flavours such as the Rosemary Garlic which features fresh rosemary and grass fed butter. Tasting the pizza from That’s My Pizza, one could tell without a doubt that a lot of heart and passion goes behind the process of getting the pizza dough right — it does seem to be beautifully perfected here; a result of probably a lot of sweat and effort to find that recipe that works right for them to bring their very best out to the patrons who swing by for their pizzas. We weren’t expecting a lot when we made our visit to That’s My Pizza; they had however wow-ed us in as many ways that they can — their pizzas are definitely worth making the trip down to Bukit Timah Food Centre for, considering how this was easily one which came well-executed with quality quite close enough to compete against that of Italian trattorias. Prices may be a bit steep for hawker fare, though is actually rather reasonable for a pizza especially if shared across the table — the ingredients used probably premium enough anyway. A hidden gem that is waiting to be uncovered; a spot that one should hit before the crowd starts to form.
