[QUEENSTOWN, SINGAPORE] One look at this coffee and I know it's gonna be good 😋 finally been to this small but aesthetic cafe that serves up pretty quality brew!

Their Iced Latte ☕ ($7) had a good chocolate caramel flavour with hints of fragrant maple which I liked 😍 it's quite a big cup and I thoroughly enjoyed it till the last drop. The Iced Black ☕ ($6.50) was different, as it was smooth with a light tartness. Not too acidic as well. Definitely refreshing!

What's even better is that it's available 1 for 1 on #burpplebeyond. This is a coffee I can imagine myself getting if I work around the area. As seats are quite limited, maybe it's better to come and order take away!

[BENCOOLEN, SINGAPORE] Can't believe I ordered pasta at 10am in the morning, but it was definitely satisfying 😂

The Seafood Squid Ink Spaghetti 🍝 ($22) at @twentyeightcafe was well executed, as the pasta was al dente and well flavoured with prawn oil for a more intense seafood flavour 😍 the seafood ingredients may be frozen, but they were well cooked as they were still snappy 😋 although it was quite spicy, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I paired the pasta with an Iced Latte (around $7) which was also quite decent. It could have been slightly more intense, but the chocolate roasty flavours were definitely noticeable!

As it has a big space, this cafe is good for big groups or if you want to complete your work there. Will be back :)

Explored a nearby cafe, and this place seems like they are very serious with their coffee. With a roastery at the back, their coffee flavours are definitely on a lighter, fruiter side, evidently from their Iced Latte ($7). Interesting how their latte had an apple aftertaste. This place is great for people who love a good filter coffee!

Heard many people raving about this place. Queue at peak hours are more than an hour wait. The Xiao Wan Mian ($7) was quite generous in its portions and ingredients, with quite abit of pork slices and minced meat in the soup. Noodles were bouncy, with an old school vinegary kick, but kinda lacked an umami flavour from the chilli. Soup was definitely rich with meaty pork flavour. Very decent but not worth the 1+ hour wait though.

[KAKI BUKIT, SINGAPORE] A cafe in the East that serves up pretty decent cafe food with huge portions! @cafebarcosg sells quite a variety of cafe food options and we tried a couple of them.

For the mains, my choice item would probably be their Chicken Katsu Burger 🍔 ($17.80). This came in a humongous portion, with a huge slab of fried chicken cutlet and quite a sizeable portion of fries. The katsu itself was juicy, bun was well buttered, and the fries were decent. Other main options like the Mentaiko Egg Mayo Sando 🥪 ($8.80) were good as well, as it was jam packed with eggs in mentaiko sauce.

If you feel like you want something lighter, their Ham & Cheese Croissant 🥐 is quite decent as well, as it was aromatic with its buttery flavour! For desserts, their tarts ($8) can't go wrong, though we didn't like their Madelaine nor their Canele as they were too tough.

For drinks wise, Orange Americano & Strawberry Matcha Latte are good choices, as the former is refreshing, while the latter is really rich with matcha flavour. Love that it isn't grainy!

This is a cafe you can consider in the east! Thank you @eatwithkeat for inviting and @cafebarcosg for the food!

[BENCOOLEN, SINGAPORE] You might be deterred by the low overall reviews on Google, but our experience there recently was otherwise. Yes, the service may not be the best, but the food there was really good. If you drink and love your Japanese food, you have to try this place at least once.

Their Sashimi 9 Kinds ($39.90) is really the highlight you got to go for. They gave a variety of seasonal sashimi and they were all so incredibly fresh. My favourite had to be the chutoro, due to its fatty yet meaty flavour. The slices were all quite chunky too! What's even better is that you can ask them to take the fish bones to whip up a seafood soup at $9.90, that really warms your soul especially after drinking much alcohol. The fish taste in the soup can be quite strong and may not sit well with some!

They do their stir fried dishes well, evidently from the Yakisoba ($10.90) and Yakiudon ($10.90) we ordered. They incorporated the smoky flavours, while controlling the savouriness well. Vegetables were still crisp while having great flavours!

I feel like this is quite a hidden gem within Sunshine Plaza and I was happy to see a few Japanese salarymen having a great time there as well. This might turn out to be slightly costly, but you know you're gonna have good food and drinks!

[BOON LAY, SINGAPORE] Trust me when I say that it took me 3 tries to book this place 😂 With slots snatched up within minutes at 10am every day, @naohrestaurant eluded elegance not only in their design, but their quality dishes and exceptional service as well. At $78 for a 4 course meal, you get dishes that are exceptionally executed by the team who works with the 3 Michelin starred Chef Corey Lee (if you know him you'll scream). Every dish had such a clean flavour, as they only use fermented paste to flavour their food. The vegetables are sourced from the smart farm within the building, which was the reason why it was so fresh and crisp.

My top favourite dish got to be the Spicy Beef Gomtang, as it was so comforting and full of high quality ingredients. Everything tasted decadent, and the Shiitake Gyeon Mari or Rolled Egg was so perfectly done with its silky texture.

Oh wait, did I not mention about their dessert? Even though I was stuffed by the end of the mains, I was starstruck by the Misugaru & Cherry Ice Cream Sandwich. How can black sesame dessert taste so addictive, especially with the slight zing you get from the cherry paste? I devoured this very quickly 😂

With a seasonal menu, I'm definitely coming back to try their other creations. Although it's in a pretty obscure location, you really need to at least try their food once! Thank you for the excellent service @naohrestaurant, you all have taken care of us so well 🥹

[RAFFLES PLACE, SINGAPORE] A rooftop bar right in the heart of the CBD with sick views? You know you are going to have a good evening with food and drinks at @highergroundsg. This place checked all the boxes with their food with fun unique flavours, quality cocktails and of course great rooftop vibes.

Among the many delicious bar bites we ordered, their Umami Fries ($14) is still a winner for me. Crispy exterior, fluffy middle and full on umami mushroom flavour, this was the perfect starter to go with your drinks. The Charred Iberico Presa ($26) was an absolute delight too, as I almost couldn't tell it was pork with its soft yet juicy texture.

Do get their Handmade Classic Pizza ($28) too, as we loved the fresh tomato base that actually tasted decadent. The dough was crispy, slightly chewy and was good on its own too! As all pizzas are made to order, you might need to a wait a little while for them!

For the drinks I will definitely recommend the Oriental Spritz ($26) with its sweet yet tangy flavours. I got to warn you, this packs a punch too as it's a combination of 3 different kinds of liquor 😂 for a lighter option, the Hibiscus Sour Plum Spritz ($26) might win you over with its tangy floral notes.

With an 80 seater space, the place is perfect for gatherings and even company events. Do reach out to make your reservation now 😍 we had such a good evening, thank you @highergroundsg for the wonderful hospitality!

[TELOK AYER, SINGAPORE] Ok people I think I found your next date night location! With great Japanese fusion food and free flow quality @hinemos_singapore sake, you're in for a treat!

Let's start off with appetisers, and please please order their Shokupan 🍞 ($15)! The bread was so fluffy and slightly crispy on the outside. Pair this with their in-house kombu and garlic butter and you will be having probably one of the best bread you've had.

For mains, their Wagyu Ichibo 🥩 ($58) or Iberico Pork Rack ($48) are good choices, but their Pork Rack was such a good surprise as the meat was so tender and marinated so well. The chef was right to be confident enough to not give any sauce, as it was flavourful on its own. The potatoes were very well executed too! Their Wagyu Ichibo can be abit more tough than expected but the meat flavour was divine ✨

For desserts, the homemade Nama Chocolate 🍫 ($8) was absolutely decadent with rich quality chocolate flavours. This can be quite surfeiting so do share this!

Probably the main highlight was their sake ($80 free flow) 😍 they were probably one of the best tasting and smoothest sakes I've had. My favourites were the Yoji (citrus lemon) that was refreshing and Hachiji (cloudy) that tasted like Calpis! I'm not a big drinker myself, but I was surprised to know that I had 6 glasses that night 😆

Thank you @eatwithkeat for the invite and @moment_singapore for the wonderful meal 😍

[BUKIT TIMAH, SINGAPORE] Definitely found your next Korean food spot! ✨ With the abundance of Korean restaurants in the area, @myungga2.sg really stands out with its quality food with a retro Korean diner vibe!

We loved all their dishes especially their Seafood Pancake 🦑. It was so crispy on the outside and fluffy within and it was quite packed with seafood ingredients! I think a very commendable point is that they achieved all these without it being too greasy.

If you are a spicy lover, their Jjampong or Spicy Seafood Noodle 🍲 will be your go-to. The broth was so fiery yet rich with strong seafood flavours. Though I was dying from the spice (being a small spice eater 😂), I still enjoyed every mouthful I had HAHA.

For sharing, PLEASE do yourself a favour and order their Soy Garlic Chicken 🐔. The batter was so addictive with its sweet savoury garlicky combination and the meat within was very tender, juicy and so well marinated! Wished I had more stomach space to devour them all 🥹

With their generous portions and delicious food, you can come down for lunch or dinner (they have even more affordable lunch sets!). Thank you for having us @myungga2.sg 🥹 we had such a good meal 😍

[ALJUNIED, SINGAPORE] Chicken rice with ajitama egg?? Yes please 😁 @chickennicesg serves up really generous delicious chicken that was such a joy to have 🥹

Their Half Chicken ($19) can easily feed 4 pax due to its sheer size 😲 I think it's about 1.2 times bigger than average chicken rice stalls! The chicken was really moist and tender, even at the breast portions. Paired with their spicy ginger chilli, this was easily enjoyable with their fragrant rice. The add ons like Chicken Gizzard ($2/3), Bean Sprouts ($2) or Onsen Egg ($1.2) really completes the meal too. I especially loved their chicken gizzard as it was crunchy 😆

Definitely a meal to consider when you're around the area!

[ONE-NORTH, SINGAPORE] Who loves a good brunch? I do!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 I had a not-so-good experience with their pastas previously, but this time I decided to stick to their brunch fare and I must say it can't go wrong 😍

Their Sausage & Eggs ($14) may look simple, but it was such a delight to have. They are well known for their toasts, and that sourdough was not only crispy on the edges, but soft and chewy in the middle. The eggs were perfectly creamy, with the right consistency without being too watery!

Their sausage may be store bought, but it was meaty and well grilled for the enhanced flavour. Now their tomatoes are the highlight for me, as it was not only juicy and sweet on the inside, the flat side was well grilled and it soaked up the meat juices from the pan well.

This may be slightly small, but it definitely still made me happy! Coming back for their avocado toast next time 🤭
