Great for satisfying that cookie craving while shopping at Orchard, especially worth it with the Burpple Beyond 1-for-1 deals. This is more for chewy cookie lovers rather than the crispy types.

If you’re searching for a unique pasta dish, look no further! SUP’s Duck Confit Hazelnut pasta is my absolute favourite for its earthy flavours from the masala cream and crunchy hazelnuts. Served with fresh pasta and shreds of duck confit, this is a must-try!

As someone who spent 2 years exploring Melbourne’s café scene, I thought Five Oars perfectly mimicked the ambience and aesthetics of a typical café there. Great for Instagram pictures and catching up with friends.
Ordered the Crab Scramble ($18) which I personally thought fell short of expectations for the price. The sourdough toast was a tad too hard and there wasn’t enough crabmeat. The other components were fresh and the dish was very cohesive though.

If you’re planning on making a visit here, definitely make a reservation! There was a long waiting line when we visited on a weekend.
Apart from that, this place offers great ambience and a generous myriad of food and drink options. No wonder it’s so popular.
I had my first taste of the Impossible Burger here, and it was a pleasant surprise. The texture mimicked exactly that of a beef burger but the earthy flavours of the plant alternative still shone through. It was perfectly juicy though. Another star of the dish was the crisp sweet potato fries, we couldn’t help but reach for more despite how full we were!

Ordered the Carbonara and topped it up with black truffle. Noodles were cooked perfectly al-dente, the egg made the dish extra creamy while the black truffle added that oomph the dish needed. Would order again!

I’ve been waiting to try Dumpling Darlings for a long time now so I jumped at the chance to try a variety of their dumplings with the platter of 15 ($20). Definitely was not disappointed, every dumpling dish satisfied but my favourites were: Smoked Duck & Fried Pierogi.
Highly recommend the noodles as well, the XO Prawn Noodles ($10) were delicious and packed with umami.

Perfectly grilled with the right amount of char, each rib was tender and juicy 🤤 we opted for the apple & mint chutney which provided a refreshing flavour to cut through the slight gamey taste of the meat. Very worth it with Burpple Beyond’s 1-for-1 deals.

An elevated version of a hawker favourite, this laksa is packed with seafood umami and just the right kick of spice. The broth is served with spaghetti, gooey eggs, fried bean curd skin and half a grilled lobster (perfectly charred!).
