Excellent consistency! This thick and smooth paste caught my eye as it was delivered to the table beside mine. Taste wise, I felt like it was a tad bit too bland and would've worked better if it were slightly sweeter.
The dried beancurd with barley and ginkgo [$3.50] was excellent overall! Had the sweet soy milk taste and it's best taken cold imo :)
Truly the best cheese tarts around. Biting into the tart, I knew that this was set to be high on my lists of tarts. The tart was buttery and firm but cracks upon sinking your teeth into it!! The cheese itself oozes out yet isn't watery nor did it have the jelat/stinky cheese taste :) Something light that i didn't expect
Definitely will be back for more mmm
For the best ribeye that you could possible taste and bite into!! Cutting into it revealed a juicy and moist center which is what you'd expect of a perfectly cooked pork rib eye. The pork tastes really good on its own and we didn't need to touch the truffle butter sauce at all (other than to taste). For the perfect ratio of fat to meat, this cut has got to be the best in terms of flavour, texture and cook.
This was only one of their stellar mains. I'll definitely be back for more :)
I absolutely love halloumi so I had to order it when i saw it on the menu here! Everything on the pan was done amazingly. Creamy scrambled eggs, juicy mushrooms, sautéed spinach and the plump tomato came together nicely with the pita bread served on the side :) Was apprehensive dining here due to the lack of reviews but this really proves popularity isn't everything. Friendly staff and the view of yachts helps top everything off nicely too!
P.S. also tried the lamb wrap which was great as the lamb chunks were very generous.
P.P.S. it's on eatigo so you can dine with a discount!
late to the party but this was mind blowing!!! you wouldn't be able to get this anymore but it really shows how good their soft serve creations can be. the fragrance and flavour of the earl grey reminded me so much of my favourite gong cha drink and the mango pudding surprise within just did it for me.
plus points for layering the crunch, pudding and soft serve!!!
Perhaps slightly overrated? Only chose this bun as it wasn't as soft as the rest (if i wanted soft cream buns i could go to any bakery!!).
It didn't disappoint though! I liked the cream which wasn't cloyingly sweet like other cream puffs but instead provided a subtle taste to it. The top of the bun was nice and crisp too.
Although banana tree cafe is now under new management (now called V cafe), everything's pretty much the same. Saddened that their flower pot pudding is off the menu though!
Anyway, this was amazing!!! The black bean soy milk shavings were really fine and had a milder sweetness as compared to other bingsus i've had. The black sesame ice cream was so rich in flavour and the red beans were a nice compliment :) Appreciated that they made an effort to layer the milk shavings and black sesame powder as i always had a bit of both in every mouthful. Almond flakes also adds a different texture to it too!
P.S. they say it's also a healthier option so i guess now i can binge on this without guilt 🙆🏻
Where else can you get such good kosong pratas for $1? It truly lives up its name of serving super crispy pratas. To my surprise, the plate wasn't oily when i finished my prata too!
The egg pratas weren't as crispy so stick to the kosongs if you value your prata's crispiness. Note that the variety is very limited here!
essentially a giant matcha lava cake that's nicely executed! cutting into the crisp edge reveals the molten matcha lava hidden inside which just fills you with such warmth.
this dish comes with ricotta cheese, a biscuit crumble, azuki beans and yuzu peels! it gives you a lot of the japanese taste in a mouthful. the yuzu peels add a citrusy and tangy flavour which may not be to everyone's liking!
maybe i'm a prude but i would've loved the warm matcha hotcake with some cold ice cream on top instead 😅 then again, this was a really well thought out and executed dish.
honestly their grain bowls pale in comparison to this. the creamy sauce with a hint of mentaiko really ties in well with the fresh seafood! the scallops, prawns and mussels were all done perfectly and the crisp toast that came along with it was a great idea. there's only just enough sauce for the seafood and toast so i ended up scraping the bowl for every single drop that's left!!!
I loved this but I'm biased because i'm a peanut butter fanatic. We could choose the yogurt flavour and although the lychee rose was refreshing, we thought maple lavender would compliment the PB flavour better.
The yogurt helped balanced the sweetness of the cookie and didn't melt as quick as other yogurt/ice cream! The fact that it sat atop yet another cookie (that wasn't fresh and hot) helped keep it that way :)
Gotta admit service was 11/10 but it may just be that one service staff who served us. Absolutely great experience!!! Atmosphere of the cafe was really cosy and hip too.
Was quite a spread for 4 :) They're rather packed on weekends so do come early or risk waiting a long time for a seat. Good thing is that service is really quick and upon ordering our food came within minutes. Food was pretty good for the price and I liked how I could swap a bunch of dishes for others!!! The staff are terribly busy so it might be hard to get their attention too.
Side note, their cutlery is terribly dirty. I'd advise you to clean it once using tissue before using any of them.
