Pre-dinner of French Toast ($19) at Parallel Cafe and it came with a generous portion of thick toast balanced with sweetness from the syrup and savouriness from the chopped bacon. The greens and berries don’t do much except making this a more balanced meal. ••••••••••••••••••• ✨ Parallel Cafe 📍 3 Club Street, Singapore 069401 🍴 [Self-Funded]

wanted to try their açai bowl, but sold out so we decided to try the French toast from @parallelsg. The portion is big, the bread was soft inside with light crisp on the outside, served with crispy bacon, salad and berries. 💰$19. 📍Parallel Cafe. 3 club street

Y’all know imma iced black kinda girl, but to my surprise, I very much preferred Parallel’s white over their black. 𝗜𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 ($𝟯.𝟵𝟬): there’s a good, rather intense boldness that hits you immediately, its edges taken off by a slight sweetness from the milk, finishing with chocolatey but fruity notes as well. Wonderful balance of boldness and acidity, and one of the few iced whites I’ve had that beautifully straddles the balance between boldness and acidity, showcasing both polarising flavour profiles. It dilutes really REALLY fast though haha so down this quick friends. Their 𝗜𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 ($𝟮.𝟵𝟬) however was really acidic. Not the most acidic I’ve tasted for sure and there’s still a nice underlying boldness and bitterness, but the acidity is very prominent and clearly the dominating profile.

Minced Pork Basil Rice Set I got lunch set meal for minced pork basil rice ($9.90 ++) and got choice whether got spicy or non-spicy. They are able to cook without spicy version. I felt that it really quite weird taste without spicy version tbh. Overall taste like the stir fried with pork with fish sauce and no spicy (a bit slightly salty)

Thai Milk Tea Included frm set meal and need to top up $1 for drink but it taste like authentic thai milk tea (milky and got strong taste for black tea) but diluted (not much taste) once ice melted it off

Stir fried Kai Lan with shiitake mushroom ($10) Both the Kai Lan & mushrooms weren't as fragrant & flavourful as expected, as I've had much better Kai Lan from other Thai stores. Was sadly kinda disappointed as food was overall pretty eh, or it just didn't hit the mark of impressing :-( Overall Rating: 5.5/10

CAPPUCCINO Coffee is not bitter or acidic, tad milky..

SMOKED BARRAMUNDI SOURDOUGH SANDWICH Sourdough is well-toasted to slightly crispy outside while soft & fluffy inside; with a layer of roasted garlic chive cream cheese spread; came with a big piece of smoked barramundi fillet which is soft but mildly dry; filled with small amount of ponzu kangkong & pickled shallots; love how well the ingredients complement each other; with crispy cassava chips & fresh greens with yuzu vinaigrette at the side; simple & light dish worth a try..

CRAB DASHI CREAM LINGUINE Al-dente pasta tossed in dashi cream sauce; sauce is flavorful & rich, quite addictive; topped with chunks of fresh crab meat; with shio kombu, edamame & sesame; worth a try..

Pork 6+Svc/2sticks Their teriyaki sauce was really good, high fidelity to the one my buddy's mom made which was the best I've had so far during exchange in japan. Full bodied and has a sweet slant, but not too much. The cook on it was great as well, caramelised on some parts. However, the meat was slightly dry and the brine didn't penetrate into the meat. Overall decent if slightly expensive

Eggplant Shio 4+Svc/2sticks There's a yuzu paste on it, which I wasn't the biggest fan of as the centre was tasteless. Really soft mushy texture. Probably get Shio though because the teriyaki sauce would be weird with the yuzu paste

Roasted meats are pretty good here! I was surprised that this stall actually doesn't have much publicity, because the roasted meats here were really pretty good! We ordered the 3 kinds of roasted meats for 2 to share ($12) and although the portion size isn't big, we thoroughly enjoyed every single piece! The roasted pork belly itself has a really satisfyingly crunchy skin, with a well seasoned tender meat underneath. Indeed it is a mystery how they can keep the meat moist, while making the skin really crispy. They use the pork belly to make the cha shao, resulting in really fatty, tender and succulent pieces that almost melt in our mouths! They were well seasoned too, and not too sweet nor savoury. The roasted duck were moderately tender and pretty tasty too. The skin was almost crispy. I must say the meats here are really pretty good! Will be back again if I am around the area 😍

Char Siew & Roast Meat Rice Stumbled on this delicious roast meats stall at Golden Mile Hawker Centre while searching for Yaloh Herbal Duck Rice, which later we found out that it closed down. There was a constant queue and the meats were finishing, so we reckon it must be good. Ordered the char siew, roasted pork rice (SGD5; they have a SGD4 option too) The pork had a crunchy skin (we loved it) and tender, well salted meat which went well with the white rice and gravy. The char siew was delicious too, just that the meat to fat ratio was not to my liking. I would prefer a more lean char siew and apparently we can request for a leaner cut (heard the person after me ordering it haha). The char on the meat however was perfect and what I like was the sauce was not too sweet. Will not specifically travel all the way here for this, but if I was in the vicinity looking for food, this stall will be one of my options. PS: The ah balling peanut soup stall on the left seems popular too, alas we were too full.

All time Fav DUMPLING Cabbage Pork dumpling (10 for $7) they make the dumpling daily and sometimes on the spot. It's so good. Goes extremely will with their Chilli Oil and Vinegar Combi.

All Time Fav Cabbage Pork dumpling. Serving of 10 for $7. Freshly make daily. U can see them rolling the dumpling as you order. Cook for 8min😂 Thin chewy skin. Goes well with mixtures of 4 tubs of chilli oil n vinegar. Hungry just thinking bout it.

Good Value Fusion in Town A nice cozy shop tucked in a little corner of town, my partner and I got the 3-course lunch set there. They gave an entire small wheel of Truffle Camembert cheese as part of the appetizer for a $30 lunch set, if that ain’t great value I don’t know what is. We also had the Chicken Ballotine and Beef Linguine, which were tasty with an asian twist that I can’t exactly place. But it tastes like really good Zhi Char. While my partner and I went there expecting kind of a conventional western meal, we were pleasantly surprised at the fusion Singaporean twist the dishes had. Certainly worth considering if you're looking for something a little adventurous, but less-so if you're bent on an authentic western experience. Overall an excellent fusion meal with good value for money!

Ribeye Wagyu Steak Great service and excellent food. Had the ribeye wagyu steak, and the host was kind enough to recommend a bottle of wine to go with it. Our experience exceeded expectations and we even decided to join their membership. Will definitely visit TWGF again.

Excellent Place For Wine And Beef Overall an exceptionally pleasant experience at TGWF. The staff and host were very welcoming and helpful in recommending the best wines to pair with the steak and at the same time suit our preferences. Will definitely visit again.

Beef Tenderloin Had this steak. Asked for medium but it seemed medium rare. Nice soft and tasty. Seated outside. The tables are well spaced out. Pleasant evening. Burpple Beyond could not be used for special dishes like this beef steak. The coupons are valid for pizza and spaghetti dishes.

Linguine Vongole, Fettuccine Boscaiola Great cozy Italian restaurant with amazing ambience. The pasta was cooked al dente, but the flavours could be better. Fettuccine was super salty, clams for vongole were not fresh.

Braised tau kwa It’s ok… nothing extra ordinary and a little too salty for me.

Dry Bak Kut teh A lot of crowd here but we think it’s just ok. That as tasty as it looks but price is not bad.

Fantastic Herbal Style BKT Had both the Dry and Soul BKT and both really impressed - BKT herbal soup was delightful and comforting, with a right balance of flavours. The dry sauce was intensely savoury with robust sweetness and a tinge of spiciness.

1-for-1: Pizza (save ~$22), 1-for-1: Pasta (save ~$22), 1-for-1: Donburi (save ~$22) Got a friend group with some craving Japanese and others wanting Western? Fret not! Corner Bar L'Operetta has both. Try their Kaisen Barachirashi Don, which features a combination of raw and cooked fish, tamago, and more! Their pastas are also excellent, like the super creamy and flavourful Smoked Duck Pasta. What’s even better is their Burpple Beyond 1-for-1 deal on pasta, pizzas, and donburis, making it a great value for everyone! Photo by Burppler Serene Goh

10/10 Aburi Salmon Don Tried the aburi salmon don. Portion was just nice. The salmon also tastes fresh. Would definitely come back for more! Maybe the pasta next?😆

Kaisen Barachirashi Don Pretty much enjoyed this Kaisen Barachirashi Don 🍚 ($20++) at @echizensg @operettacornerbar, which features a medley of salmon & tuna sashimi 🍣, unagi, ebi 🦐, tamago 🍳, cucumber 🥒, ikura & tobiko! 🌟 . Nothing can be more gratifying that seeing this array of seafood lying atop a bed of fluffy Japanese rice! 😍 Sashimi was fresh & chunky, with a generous amount of tobiko & some popping ikura which added some umami to the bowl. 👏🏻 . Be warned that the portion is quite small (probably enough for a lady but might not be the case for a hungry man 😂). Oh yes, this came with a small serving of miso soup 🥣 too.
