🥟 I am a huge sucker for dumplings, gyozas, baos, you name it… so couldn’t miss trying @gyozasan_singapore in @sunplazamall

The ultimate destination for Japanese comfort gyozas, these babies are pork-free and lard-free, and I bet you won't find flavors like these anywhere else 🙌 But that's not all, their menu also features an amazing selection of bentos 😋

The wait was around 7 minutes (takeaway only, sorry no dine-in 😔), and we saw that they were hustling non-stop with multiple delivery orders (they now offer island wide delivery at https://order.gyozasan.com/)

🐔 𝗚𝘆𝗼𝘇𝗮 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝟭 𝗦𝗚𝗗𝟳.𝟵
The set includes teriyaki chicken, 3 original gyozas and kimchi (kinda random as totally wasn’t expecting this combo haha)

The teriyaki chicken was the star of the show, bursting with flavor and tenderness that left me craving for more. The original gyozas were also noteworthy with a plump and juicy filling cooked to perfection.

Loved these little bundles of joy! The oh-so-fresh sizeable prawns brought a subtle sweetness to every bite, while the chicken added depth and richness to the filling

My friend brought me to Singapore's largest outlet @immoutletmall for great deals from sportwear/fashion brands (including Nike, Charles & Keith, Furla etc) and we ended up discovering the new branch of @chankooden here!

We had the pleasure of sampling (that promo is already over though) a piping-hot bowl of umami-packed dashi broth, infused with the irresistible blend of bonito and kombu 🍲 It was love at first taste, which was what lured us to try this comfort food!

Out of all the 20+ options available, we got the below ingredients and were incredibly satisfied and gloriously stuffed afterwards

- White Radish SGD1.5
- Seaweed Knot SGD1.5
- Chikuwa SGD2
- Chicken Cheese Ball SGD2
- Lobster Ball SGD2

They also offer baked sweet potatoes (SGD 2.9-3.5), which is the ultimate healthy snack after a long day of shopping!

The matcha latte was more on the subtler side, so it was nice that there was an additional piece of matcha and white chocolate to add a sweet kick. Not sure if I was supposed to melt the chocolate in the drink, but I paired each bite with a sip to avoid the overwhelming sweetness

With nearly 20 branches all over Singapore, @keikaisendon.sg ‘s extensive menu of Japanese rice bowls spoils you with choices of sashimi, teriyaki, beef… basically any don that you can name!

It took us some time to make up our minds as we wanted to try everything, but we finally decided on:

𝐄𝐛𝐢 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐲𝐚𝐤𝐢 𝐒𝐆𝐃 𝟐𝟐.𝟗
This was the perfect combination of two huge succulent shrimps and a generous serving of fresh sashimi, topped with loads of seasonings! The creamy mentaiyaki sauce tied the dish together with a wonderful richness.

𝐅𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐞 𝐅𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞
This colourful cake assortment was a match made in heaven for us, as we could try 10 of their best-selling flavours in one go 🤤

Here’s my personal ranking (biased towards fruity flavours) starting from top faves:

1️⃣ 𝗡𝟭 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗸𝗶 𝗡𝗲𝗸𝗼 (𝗧𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘆 𝗬𝘂𝘇𝘂 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻) - the most popular amongst us, this citrusy piece of cake was light, refreshing and disappeared in minutes!

2️⃣ 𝗡𝟭𝟴 𝗠𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗺'𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲 (𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝗴𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘁) - I enjoyed the novel combination of yogurt cream cheese, roselle tea jelly cubes and pistachio bits - no wonder it’s the cake of the month

3️⃣ 𝗔𝟯 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗿'𝘀 𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 (𝗥𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆 & 𝗟𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘀) - the rose and lychee flavour (from real fruit slices) was truly outstanding

4️⃣𝗡𝟰 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 (𝗦𝘄𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆) - filled with chewy strawberry chunks and strawberry jam, this was quite delightful

5️⃣ 𝗡𝟯 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗼𝗻 (𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗬𝗼𝗿𝗸) - basic but not basic, this vanilla-infused cheesecake was ultra creamy and rich

6️⃣ 𝗔𝟮 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 (𝗝𝘂𝗶𝗰𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗼𝗲𝘀) - the white chocolate shavings on the side paired with mango gave a pleasant sweet-sour nuance

7️⃣ 𝗡𝟳 𝗦𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝘀 (𝗧𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘂) - I was just expecting a coffee-based cheesecake, so really blown away by the soft lady’s finger sponge and mascarpone cheese in the middle

8️⃣ 𝗡𝟮 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗗𝘂𝗸𝗲'𝘀 𝗣𝘂𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 (𝗢𝗿𝗲𝗼 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗲𝘀 & 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺) - covered with oreo crumbs on the top and bottom, the flavour was more on the mild side

9️⃣𝗡𝟲 𝗦𝘄𝗲𝗲𝘁 & 𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗳𝗳𝘆 (𝗦𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗹) - this had an interesting smoky aftertaste which contrasted well with the sweet taffy

1️⃣0️⃣𝗡𝟱 𝗣𝗮𝘄𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝘂𝗿𝘆 (𝗬𝘂𝗮𝗻 𝗬𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗲 & 𝗧𝗲𝗮) - a flavour bomb with a mixture of espresso and Hong Kong-style milk tea

btw if you buy any of their fickle feline series, you can get a TVBAnywhere+ subscription card (available during Nov 1-30)

This half-baked cheese cake was really impressive in terms of the velvety texture, which was thick yet smooth at the same time. The rich scrumptious taste was also super fulfilling, highly recommended!

One thing that makes their gelatos stand out are the artisanal locally-inspired flavours, in which the botanical ingredients are gently infused. My favourite so far is definitely the 𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗻, as the natural grassiness was distinctive yet subtle enough that it wasn’t too overwhelming to finish the entire scoop. The other one I really loved was the 𝗰𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗯𝗲𝘁 that was light and refreshing on the palate.

Another pull factor is definitely the freshly handmade cones (you can watch them make it from the glass window) that attracted me in the first place. The crispy cones have hints of thyme, making that extra dollar super worth it.

Quick notes on the other flavours that I tried:
- 𝗽𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗼: very smooth, earthy and rich - yums!
- 𝗹𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆: tangy sweetness with fruity and floral drops, above average
- 𝘀𝗲𝗮-𝘀𝗮𝗹𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗷𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮: too roasted and bitter for my liking, would skip
- 𝗺𝗶𝗱𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗴𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗷𝗮: reminded me of Nutella, a bit too rich for me

The only downside is that there is a constant queue and you can’t try the flavour before making up your mind

The three-storey cafe in Tanjong Pagar oozes contemporary style and I would recommend going up to the 2/F for a more comfortable environment. The 1/F seating areas lack air con while the 3/F attic is cosy yet a little too dim for your insta photoshoot

The HK-inspired menu is quite limited as they pride themselves in being the ‘World's First Bolo Bun Concept Store’. We waited around 10 minutes before the buzzer rang for us to self-collect the foods and drinks near the cashier.

𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫
I don’t usually dig bolo buns (btw bolo means ‘pineapple’ in Canto, but just refers to the resemblance instead of actually containing any fruit), but this has got to be hands down THE BEST ever compared to the ones I’ve had in HK

The warm bun itself was a textural delight with the outer crust being ultra crispy while the inner was soft and pillowy. The huge cold slab of butter in the middle was such an indulgence, but really elevated the entire taste

𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐨
The Singaporean samosa twist was actually way better than I expected, but sadly it was a little too spicy for me to eat more than two bites. The aromatic curry scent was soooo tempting though

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐨𝐧’𝐬 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐤 𝐓𝐞𝐚
They managed to make this drink very authentic and silky that I kind of felt that I was in HK for a second. However, I have to admit that HK-style milk tea is an acquired taste for me and I don’t normally prefer the bitter aftertaste

We were super amazed by the impressive variety of quality food that was available. Here's our fave parts:

1. Live Prawn Station
Ok, so I originally thought this was just for display and didn't realize that you can actually use the tongs to catch the prawns in the water tank. It's definitely not as easy as it looks though, as some cunning prawns pretended to be dead or nimbly scurried away. Once you do manage to get one though, remember to dump it in the nearby ice bucket for it to faint. These were obviously the freshest possible and had an excellent chewy texture.

2. Meat Grocer/ Skewer Bar
Highly recommend the wagyu beef cubes which were just so heavenly tender and lustrous. Tip: add cheese and garlic butter from the skewer bar to elevate the taste. Would also suggesting trying out the different cuts of Korean marinated beef!

3. Appetizer
There were plenty of options for sashimi and sushi, which were quite delicious and make sure to eat them first or else they will get too hot.

4. Desserts
To end your meal on a sweet note, the cookie and cream/pandan cake bites are a nice choice (the swiss rolls are less sugary though) or check out the ice cream freezer near the beverage area.

We decided to visit @commonmancoffee and tried to skip the lunch crowd by arriving at around 1:40pm, but still had to wait for 2 tables 🥲 The sizable place was full of people both indoors and indoors with a never-ending queue (they don’t take reservations) 🫣 Prices were not cheap, but (almost) everything was damn delicious and the huge portions left us walking away super full 🤰

𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐡 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐫
Found on the lunch menu served from 10am to 5pm, this was SO GOOD! We loved how the unique beetroot BBQ sauce added a sweet tanginess to the juicy beef patty while the herbed fries were so flavorful that we didn’t really need any ketchup 🍔🍟

𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤
The all-day breakfast menu had so many options we wanted to try, but we finally decided on the creamy buttermilk pancakes that came with a seasoned butter, which was absolutely sensational 🥞 Dipping the crispy bacon into syrup was SUCH a guilty pleasure and we probably ate more than we should have 🥓🍯

𝐋𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐲𝐦𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐤𝐞
This looked super aesthetic but was a little disappointing in terms of taste, as the icing made the cake a little too sugary and artificial 🥴 SKIP!

There was a huge range of regional coffees that you could pick after scanning the QR code on the menu ☕️ As a non-coffee lover, this flavour that my friend chose was probably the best I’ve ever tasted, as the hints of bergamot and apricot made the slow-brew not bitter at all 👏🏻 Plus the coffee tasting card was also super cute~

We visited the Jalan Besar branch for late lunch on the weekend - the place was buzzing with lots of takeaway orders 🥡 Luckily we got a table immediately and food was served quite promptly

My go-to Taiwanese comfort food is always good old lu rou fan (pork belly rice) and this signature dish certainly did not disappoint. The portion size was just right while the savoury braised meat bursted with flavour.

The chewy noodles topped with cucumber slices were slurp-worthy too despite the garlic flavour being a tad bit overwhelming.

𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬
Both beverages were above average, but we would recommend choosing 0% sweetness as the boba itself is quite sweet already.

I ordered this just #forthegram and kinda regretted it 😅 Don’t get me wrong, I actually quite enjoyed the sweet strawberry milk, but the creamy panna cotta made this feel more like a dessert than a drink, and was quite heavy after lunch that I still felt bloated till dinner time… so I would recommend sharing with someone 😌
