We tried the following:
》Butashoga Ramen | Their signature shio-tonkotsu broth topped with hand-pulled pork sautéed in a sweet soy sauce and ginger was absolutely delish, I totally understand now why it's one of their bestsellers. The balanced flavours coming from the rich soup, saucy meat, sweetness from the braised bamboo shoots and green scallions was delightful.
》Miso Ramen | Such a hearty ramen which was infused with a generous amount of roasted Hokkaido red miso tonkotsu soup base, perfectly paired with the various toppings of sweet corn, slow-braised chashu pork slices, thinly sliced green scallions and beansprouts. The robust medley of flavours were simply delectable.
》Takoyaki | These Octopus Balls had a pillowy filling complimented by the mayonnaise, Japanese BBQ sauce and seaweed toppings. I took a mouthful and the flavours just bursted in my mouth, so addictive.
》Deep Fried Gyoza | Crispy deep-fried dumplings which had a substantial amount of chicken/veggie filling.
》Chilli Crab Matcha Macchiato with Fresh Milk (New) | Being adventurous at heart, I instantly knew that I had to give this one a go once I saw it on the menu. It was quite (weird) unique and certainly not for the faint-hearted! Try it for yourselves if you're brave enough like me hee.
Please visit any of these branches to get your affordable Ramen-fix (Simei, Chong Pang, One North, Pasir Ris, Ang Mo Kio, Jurong West and Woodlands), I highly recommend it.

Being massive fans of Indian cuisine, we were so thrilled to sample Bhai Da Bhaba's delectable Punjabi dishes. We tried the following:
》Chicken Makhni Set | Butter Chicken with Garlic Naan and Papadam on the side. The Butter Chicken with its tender tandoori boneless meat in a moreish/creamy sauce is one of the best I've ever had here in Singapore.
》Sarson Ka Saag Set | "Mustard greens" (Sarson is the Hindi/Punjabi word for mustard and Saag means greens) served with Makki Ki Roti. The moreish curry gravy was packed with so much flavour and the spice level was on point, perfectly paired with the Roti (unleavened corn-based flatbread).
》Chole Bhatura | Also known as Chana Bhatura, this is one of the most popular Punjabi dishes in India. The "Chole" is a spiced, tangy chickpea curry and the "Bhatura" is a soft/fluffy fried leavened bread. Perfect combination of flavours and textures which was very addictive.
》Gulab Jamun | Ended our night on a high (sweet) note with these deep-fried milky balls soaked in sugar syrup. Totally hooked on this addictive dessert.
》Mango Lassi and Masala Tea | The Lassi was refreshing with the natural sweetness coming from the Mango while the Masala Tea had balanced spices on it.
The aroma of the dishes were simply heavenly and delightful, me and my partner absolutely loved everything we've tried!

I tried these stunning and mouth-watering pastries from Whitfield St. Bakery, a homebased microbakery which specializes in Viennoiseries and Sourdough. As expected, my heart skipped a beat as soon as I saw 'em ~
》Raspberry Pistachio Croissant | The flavour of the raspberries and pistachio complimented each other really well and the crunch from the nuts added a nice contrast to it which was very delightful, this would have to be one of my faves.
》Lychee Rose Meringue Croissant | The aroma coming from the lychee rose and lightly torched meringue atop this treat was heavenly. It also had the right amount of sweetness on its cream patisserie filling which made it delectable.
》 Blackberry Pistachio Cream Croissant (New) | Had a generous blackberry and custard-like filling with a tangy/sweet flavour combo, it certainly whet my taste buds.
》Butter Croissant | Can't go wrong with this classic - Delicate and flaky pastry, every bite was addictive. It was hand laminated with French butter through a 36-hour process.
》Pain au Chocolat | What a gorgeous looking treat, just look at the perfect layered folds. This chocolatine was incredibly fab, I am totally hooked on it!
》Multiseed Croissant | A buttery pastry with various seeds on it (pumpkin, sunflower, golden flaxseed and linseed) which gave it a robust flavour and texture.
Possibly some of the best (prettiest) croissants I've ever had in Singapore, how can anyone possibly say no to these? I know I won't!

So thrilled to be invited and sample Hey! Yakiniku's newly launched set - the Marumi Pork (They are the first ones to serve this award winning pork from Miyazaki, Japan) along with the other scrumptious sets they currently offer ~
Just a lil' background on the Marumi Pork - Marumi pigs raised in Kawanami-cho, Miyazaki is prized for its "odorless sweet fat". They do not raise animals to be “delicious”, but strive every day for them to be “healthy”. To promote their intestinal activities, farmers use microbially-activated well water and own yeast-blended feed. (For more info on this, you may refer to this link: https://www.marumiton.com/english/).
We tried the following:
》Marumi Pork Set (new) | Consists of pork belly and collar, the meat to fat ratio is superb. They were delicate/tender and flavourful too.
》Australian Wagyu MB 4/5 | The marbling on this wagyu is impeccable and simply melted in our mouths, certainly one of my faves.
》Hey! Set | Includes Karubi, Harami and Gyu Tan, a great selection of meat which is a must-try and such great value for money. Every set comes with rice, soup and kimchi/salad/spicy beansprout.
》Goma Wasabi Karubi Set | Beef short plate with a special wasabi dipping sauce on the side which is quite unique and delightful.
》Black Pepper Donburi (new) | Generous amount of well-seasoned black pepper beef which had a smoky and aromatic flavour to it atop a bowl of rice and beansprouts.
Me and my partner thoroughly enjoyed the smokeless/odourless grilling experience and meaty feast!
Looking for a premium yet affordable BBQ fare? Look no further, Hey! Yakiniku's got you sorted. Please do try it for yourselves, I highly recommend it.

We tried the following:
》Cheesy Potato Croquette Potato Stick |
This starter was made from scratch using russet potatoes and stringy mozzarella then wrapped with potato spaghetti. We really enjoyed the contrast of textures which was truly addictive - crunchy sticks with a soft/cheesy bite to them.
》Seafood Marinara | The red sauce packed with herbs and spices complimented the various seafood on it and gave the dish a robust taste, you can't go wrong with this classic.
》Mussel Blanco | Such a lovely pairing of plump mussels, moreish white wine sauce and bucatini (thick spaghetti-like pasta with a hole in the middle).
》Smoked Salmon Piadini | The contrast of flavours between the rich salmon and natural sweetness from the veggies made this meal simply irresistible.
The Chef behind @francescas.sg, Chef Ronald Li was influenced by his intensive training in the Le Cordon Bleu in Paris and is known for whipping up Asian favourites with new twists.
Overall, a superb meal that certainly satisfied us which combines the diversity of Italian flavours and heartiness of Singaporean home cooking.

We are currently having some serious withdrawal symptoms from our recent (food) adventures in Thailand and so glad to be invited by the folks behind @lethai.sg to a mouthwatering and authentic Mookata feast ~
If you're not familiar with Mu Kratha (often spelled as Mookata) which is “pan or skillet pork" in Thai, is a combination of Korean barbecue and Chinese hot pot.
We tried the Twin Platter and added some items like the Sirloin beef, Smoked Duck, Crayfish, Prawn, Scallops etc. from their ala carte menu. The quality/variety (generous portion size too) of the platter was perfect and had a great selection of meat, seafood plus veggies.
Our faves would be the Sirloin beef which melted in our mouths, the juicy Prawns/Crawfish and the well-seasoned chicken/pork.
The homemade dipping sauces were the bomb (literally), they have a nice kick/heat to 'em which were so addictive and complimented the various meat/seafood.
This place is also conveniently located at a Food Centre, only a couple of minutes away from Tai Seng Mrt.
If you're craving for a scrumptious yet affordable Mookata then you definitely need to try this one.
