Burple 1 for 1, 2pax $80.43, 1 soup + 3 sides + rice & drink Ordered the Barramundi Soup (small) and it was soooo good. 🤤 Would 10/10 recommend. Sides ordered were Mapo Tofu (second time visiting and their standards are inconsistent considering that I visited only 1 day apart. 1st visit was really tasty, they gave a lot of meat but second visit there were barely any + super tough). Chengdu spiced mini potatoes paired nicely with the soup and slightly spicy Mapo tofu. It was crispy and had a nice little spice kick. However the final side was a disappointment - chopped garlic pork belly(pictured). The serving costs $13 bef gst however the portion was really little (like why they hide the cucumber underneath to make it look like a pile of pork to make me so happy but then peekaboo it’s actually cucumber and I don’t eat veggie leh????boo), that aside the sauce was extremely spicy. Don’t get it unless you bring ur sugar daddy and he’s gonna be paying.

Turkish Tea ($3.90) A warm, comforting brew of black tea with a rich, robust flavour that’s soothing to the soul. Served with sugar for a touch of sweetness.

Turkish Coffee ($5.50) A small but intensely strong, rich, and aromatic cup of high-acidity coffee. It’s served with a glass of water and a piece of Lokum, aka Turkish delight, a soft, chewy confection made from sugar and starch, often flavoured with rosewater, lemon, or pistachios.

Künefe ($14.90) A must-try Turkish dessert, künefe is made with tel kadayf aka shredded phyllo dough, cheese, and syrup. Layers of shredded phyllo dough and buttery, melty soft cheese are topped with pistachios, baked to a golden, crispy finish, and finally soaked in a sweet syrup. The result is a dessert with a crispy, sweet exterior and a warm, savoury, melty interior. Pouring the heavy cream on top adds extra richness. I’m glad the sweetness is just right for local tastes, as traditional Turkish desserts can often be very sweet.

Jumbo Platter We tried for the 1st time grab delivery for this awesome platter that we usually eat in Sofra restaurant itself. It’s so pretty even in a take-out! Fed so many of us at home! Love it!

Kunefe It looks so good but one must appreciate coconut to like this dessert. I liked it!

Diamond baklava My favourite Turkish dessert! So yummy!

Omelette Fried Rice 18++ Another choice off the beaten track and another jackpot. This is again one of the dishes that i would never order in a restaurant, due to my preconceptions about how it could possibly taste. Really brings to mind the scenes from shokugeki no soma when erina challenges her father's stubborn conception of "ideal Cuisine", that taste different from what a certain dish usually taste like and lead to incredible results. The fried rice was pretty decent, though it's not really like other great Fried rice I've had. Egg was on point as well, and the sauce was well balanced and not too much such that it doesnt soak thru the rice. A must-try, simply cos it's not really like normal and is actually good

Award Winning Garlic Pork 20++(S) The sauce looks like the kind i would hate, but dayum it was superb. Slightly viscous, and full of umami, it's a far cry from Traditional pork belly with Minced garlic but it's really undeniably good. A must-try here, and a decent portion(though considering the price, that's to be expected)

Seafood Veggie Soup 18++ Something i definitely wouldnt order by myself, but since we dk what to order, and the waitress recommended it, plus my friend was down with flu, this happened. IDK WHY BUT EVERYTHING HERE IS BETTER THAN EXPECTED. The soup was surprisingly enjoyable and not Plain, while the seafood was of a very satisfactory quality too. Noodles were great, the Thin slightly chewy kind of ramen. Dont get me wrong, this is a solid dish, but idk if i would recommend if other Noodle dishes they have can outperform expectations similarly.

Mocha - Caffeine was rather light and had a more chocolatey taste, would prefer it more intense. [6.5/10]

Breakfast sammy - Spam was crispy but a tad too salty. - Egg sauce was fragrant with chives but very creamy rich, which got too heavy for me towards the end of half a sandwich 🍳 [7/10]

Caprese grilled cheese - Combination of cheddar and american cheese gave an ultimate savouriness, with tomatoes and basil cutting the greasiness well. - Caramelised onions gave a touch of sweetness! - Sourdough was freshly toasted till crunchy and crisp on the surface, thicker than the brioche above 🍞 [7.5/10]

‘Boshi-Maker Along with their brunch menu, there was this cocktail called ‘Boshi-Maker (S$20.00). This gin-based beverage also comprised ingredients such as Umeboshi (salted Japanese plums), blueberry, lemon and Hitachino White Ale, so the drink came across as refreshing, fruity and a wonderful start to a good meal.

The Duck Confit Ramen Brunch was quite interesting at Neon Pigeon. While they have a menu with some mix of Japanese and Western mains, the most intriguing item on their list was The Duck Confit Ramen (S$20.00), which had limited servings available daily. When the staff served the noodles, the first impression I got was more like Ramen in thick gravy (think Lor Mee), but at the same time the ingredients felt luxurious, with sliced Foie Gras and pink duck meat beautifully plated on top of the noodles. Digging in, I was excited by the flavours of the respective items, but I was also fascinated by how everything came together so well: rich but not too cloying. Of course, one might not be full eating this, because the portion was not hearty (probably good things should also be taken in moderation), but that also gave us the perfect excuse to order more mains or appetisers for sharing.

Happy hour 6-7.30pm Free chips, pretty good food, and cocktails! What’s really nice about the place is the vibes tho, really nice place to chill and talk. It’s not overly bougie, more of a comfortable classy place!

Good Drinks Good Cake Drinks were good, if u say u r celebrating bday, u get a freecake.

Genmaicha Bellini & Yuzu Whiskey Sour 2020 Asia’s best 50 bar, #1 What more can I say? Nothing but impressive cocktail concoctions with Asian-influenced ingredients that comes (shakes) so well together. A tad expensive at $25++/drink. So come for the Happy Hour, drinks are at $16++! Tho limited selection but good start to conquering all the others when the pay check comes in 😂

Oven Roasted Bone Marrow | $21 A dish that looks small but boasts a bold flavour. And because of how full-bodied the execution of the bone marrow was, I’d recommend sharing this lest you get sick of it too easily. I enjoyed spreading the bone marrow on the garlic bread and pairing it with the beef - essentially constructing the different elements of this dish together because it complemented one another so well. The sweetness from the caramelised onion was a nice touch, but like the grilled lamb short ribs - the strong flavours got too overwhelming after a while. Rate:🌟🌟🌟

Sakoshi Bay Oysters | $30 Fresh and plump oysters which I enjoyed. It was dressed with raspberry, vinaigrette, and ikura, though the raspberry wasn’t very apparent to me. Rate:🌟🌟🌟

Grilled Lamb Short Ribs | $19 Can understand why people say that the short ribs are on the gamier side, but I personally thought it was manageable, perhaps even worth it because the meat was really fall of the bone kind of tender! And helping to balance that gaminess was the interesting choice of pomegranate and toasted almonds which gave both a crunchiness and sweetness to the lamb. I did think that by the end, the lamb was too greasy which made it feel much heavier on the palate. Rate:🌟🌟🌟

Baghrir (Dessert) Baghrir The famous Moroccan "Thousand Holes Crepe", served with a warm honey and butter sauce.

Milk Pastilla (Dessert) Milk Pastilla. Stacks of crispy Filo leaves served with a divine orange blossom water cream and Arabic Misk, topped with almonds and strawberries

Fish Tagine Fish Tagine Tender soft fish served in the traditional Tagine pots for an authentic experience. Bursting with flavour with Moroccan olives.

BAGEL SANDWICH 📍 @firewoodchicken 🐓 ⭐️ chicky bagel 💰 ~ $10 ... ... ... Completing my 🐓 row with this major throwback to @firewoodchicken ✨at east coast/Katong hood that serves Korean inspired bagels 🥯 where u can choose between plain and onion bagels and a menu of stuffed flavors✨it’s really huge for a single portion! Authentic to the more solid bite of bagel like the one I had in New York🤤 would wanna go back for the night menu firewood chicken 🪵 🔥 hehe.

Rice Balls This dish made me wish I was born into a Korean family, with a matronly ajumma preparing this as I got home from a stressful day at school, just so I can categorically claim this as my comfort food. Saranghae! 🤞🏻😘

Charcoal Grilled Chicken In Sweet And Spicy Sauce A rather unassuming Korean joint that exclusively serves chicken, save for a handful of sides. Chicken was expertly grilled and doused in a deliriously sweet and spicy sauce. Meat was spot-on tender; we couldn’t even tell the breasts apart! Comes w a few token tteokbokki pieces with a surprise cheese centre. Extremely satisfying. What can I say? This dish left me breathless. Chicken nut bread.
