rose tteokbokki - was one of the more affordable and filling options here. loved the chewy tteokbokki in the spicy sauce (with a tinge of rose flavour)

i cannot emphasise enough how much I LOVEEEE ikea food….

we got the:
- spaghetti with meatballs
- mushroom soup
- cheese fries
- medallion (A+++)
- daim cake (A++++ my favourite)

we got the:
- jjampong (pictured)
- jajangmyeon
- tangsuyuk

the jjampong was definitely my favourite - we were trying our best to get every last sip! (even though it packed a bit of a punch in terms of spice)

got the chicken aglio olio, and i was pleasantly surprised to see it come with sundried tomatoes that elevated the taste of the pasta. as a garlic lover i was also very happy searching for every last bit of the tiny garlic pieces to savour it all. 7/10 overall

ordered a roasted chicken rice to-go. tasted like regular chicken rice so i felt it was quite overpriced. 6.5/10

got the chashu ramen set with gyozas and hot green tea. no particular comment other than that it tasted like regular ramen - the chashu was really good though! 7/10

super affordable build-your-own-pasta!

i got the aglio olio with cherry tomatoes and sauteed prawns. personally, i LOVE garlic, so i was delighted to find that the aglio olio was super fragrant, the chefs used a ton of garlic (but not overly so), it wasn’t too oily… and the cherry tomatoes and prawns were the perfect additions too. what a great meal - the only gripe i had was that it was finished too fast so if the portion was slightly bigger it would be awesome :”) but still great so 8.5/10!

got 2x of the 3 course feast!

what we got:
- half chicken with mushroom cream sauce (8/10)
- half chicken with cranberry sauce (7/10)
- pan-seared sea bass (7/10)
- prawn aglio olio (8/10)
- mushroom soup (8.5/10)
- truffle fries (8/10)
- beef meatball (8/10)
- brussel sprouts (8/10)
- pineapple panna cotta (9/10)
- mango pudding (7.5/10)

the customer service was great… when we mentioned to them that the truffle fries came out room temperature, they replaced it with a new batch of piping hot truffle fries 🥲

i LOVE ajumma’s - it is pretty much my korean comfort food place 🤍 so my reviews may also be biased, but i also feel everything i’ve eaten there is AMAZING.

- crispy samgyeopsal with creamy scrambled eggs: never goes wrong, love the thick chunks of crispy pork belly together with the creaminess of the scrambled eggs… HEAVEN. but if you have a small appetite please order one to share because the portion is HUGE

- kimchi pork belly stew: this is my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE because the soup is SO flavourful… i love kimchi and this stew is going to be heaven for any kimchi lover. love the pork belly slices in it too.

- fluffy steamed eggs: it is exactly like what it sounds like - very fluffy steamed eggs. can’t go wrong there.

- soy garlic chicken with crispy topokki: it can sometimes be a bit dry but i love the topokki especially with the sweet soy sauce

- omija hwachae: so refreshing and a palate cleanser after a full meal!

overall 9/10

we tried the following flavours:
- pistachio
- goma
- dark chocolate
- salted caramel
- tie guan yin earl grey

all of them had rich flavours, not too sweet but very fragrant. would come back again

got the seafood super bowl which was meant for sharing between 3-4 people, but 4 of us ate it (with rice) and were SO FULL.

it has a combo of seafood (mussels, prawns, fish, squid) with maggie noodles soaked in a milky tomyam soup which went perfectly with white rice. so flavourful! we were bursting afterwards 7.5/10

have been eating hot hideout in ntu and loving it so i was so excited when a new outlet opened in the east which is so much more accessible!

got the mala collagen soup (xiao la - which was already on the spicier side for my weak tastebuds) together with a bowl of deep fried lotus root and potato (not pictured). don’t forget to get the thai iced milk tea that is perfect to quench the spice! never fails 9/10
