Che Chuoi ($14++) It’s like mango sticky rice, but replace mango with fried banana, glutinous rice that is less sticky + vanilla ice cream

Half Chicken ($25++) Ga Nuong (i think) Smells abit like chinese sausages. Chick flesh is dry. Salad is mehh. Consider others

Fried Glass noodles with mudcrab ($22++) Mien Cua Loved the pairing of the savory glass noodles and the sweet of the mudcrab flesh. My favorite dish so far. Although the fried mudcrab is too oily imo. Still worth a try!

Angus Beef Rib Eye 300g $45/set, medium rare - well served in herb butter so you can taste the tenderness and juicyness of the beef. Could request for more rare option as personally found that medium rare was more on a well done side but still pleasant nonetheless

Lobster &Scallops Saffron Risotto ($36) Robust, and umami, this dish delights your sense like you’re going to take dive into the ocean. The grilled lobster is soft and tender, with a very so slight smoky taste. The risotto done right, giving you a nice bite to every mouth.

Awesome Food!! Friend ordered the Angus thick skirt ($38) which was nicely charred and crusty. I had spicy seafood capellini ($32) and the seafood was perfectly grilled and juicy. My other friends enjoyed the food as well. Great place, great food and nice ambience!

Vongole Aglio Olio I really wanted to try this pasta and I think it fared surprisingly well! The clams we had were fresh, while the pasta sauce was savoury yet light on the palate AND infused into the pasta, unlike the previous pasta place that I recently posted about oops.

Truffle Fries Ok pardon the ugly pic but this was the true champ of the meal actually as we didn’t expect the fries to be so crisp yet potato-ey (in the sense that you could still taste the nice starchy potato, and not just air in the fries ykwim?). The truffle taste was also present in every fry and though the cheese shavings on top look pretty scant, it was adequate for that whole mountain of fries 👌💯 defo a must get.

Crabmeat Pasta This was my friend’s fav and if you can’t already tell from the pic, it was reallyyyy creamy and filled with crabmeat, without being overly surfeiting or thiccc. The tomato base was also slightly tangy and served to whet my appetite even more👅

BBT for Tea Lovers High mountain Pouchong Tea with fresh milk and bubbles ($5.2) Comes with a strong tea aroma and the bubbles were really Q. Definitely recommend this brand for Tea Lovers!

Flour Tea aka 'Mee Teh' (古早味面茶) is the new dessert from @shanchacafe. It’s flour tea mix with water or milk( based on preference) , add brown sugar /caster sugar and sesame. It’s very fragrant, because the flour cooked in a certain time and repeatedly stirring. It’s DIY dessert, so you can add more if you like sweet, you can add more milk if you like more creamy texture. For me personally, I like dry compare to thick n creamy version. And add a lot of sesame. 💰$6.5 📍ShanCha. 22 Cross Street #01-63.

Great Ambience Cozy tea cafe which provides the perfect ambience for a mini escapade from the hustle and bustle of the city.

squid ink seafood paella ($34.00) and pork quesadilla ($18.00) squid ink seafood paella ($34.00): tbh this was q underwhelming bc the squid ink flavour was not v prominent. there were q a lot of ingredients but some of the mussels were kinda fishy so not the best. the portion is small so probs need to order sth else if you’re sharing between 2 ppl bc the layer of rice is v flat pork quesadilla ($18.00): rly enjoyed this! an ok option for spanish food in sg but nothing to scream about and i’ve had better elsewhere so i probs wouldn’t be returning any time soon

Potato Ah I know the potoato is a simple humble food but gosh it's surprised me by tasty like a yummy comfort Mac and cheese kind of food. If you love your carbs and potatoes, I highly recommend it.

Grilled Cod It's a decent dish. The prawn pretty large and the cod is grilled. I know it's their star dish but I didn't get swept off my feet. It tastes exactly like how cod would taste when grilled. No surprises. The sauce is pretty nice though. Can order if you are really in need of satisfying a cod fish craving. Otherwise I recommend trying the other dishes.

Chicago-Style Spinach & Artichoke Dip ($24) corn chips, roasted salsa, pecorino It was good, the corn chips were thin and crisp, tasted quite fresh (not sure if they fry it themselves??) The spinach and artichoke dip was earthy, coupled with the pecorino which was a bit stinky (in a good way) and cheesy. Each time I eat artichokes I don’t rly get the hype lol it tastes like bamboo shoots to me. I liked the spinach part nonetheless. My friend thought it didn’t rly pair well with the chips and I see where he’s coming from but I was okay! The roasted salsa was delicious, it was hearty and well-balanced, those went really well with the chips. We had 5 pax and I think it was a good size for us.

Swirl Soft Serve Ice Cream | $8 Got the blue label soft serve ice cream in a cup for $8, and added brownie chunks for another $2. The swirl flavour simply means you get a mix of both vanilla and after eight, a mint chocolate flavour. I thoroughly adored the texture of the soft serve here, it does not melt too quickly, and has a nice milkiness to it. Hesitated adding the brownie chunks - but it really elevated the experience for me with that added chewiness. Rate:🌟🌟🌟🌟

The Original Famous | $32 Have been wanting to try Blue Label for a long time knowing how their restaurants exude a classy, yet laid-back retro bar vibe. It was a nice, cozy ambience even at the bar seats - which lucky walk-ins get relegated to especially when the restaurant is fully booked. The Original Famous composed of a five cheese blend together with a tomato base and basil. The pizza here has a crustier, crunchier texture unlike of course, your sourdough pizzas. But the crunch was well-appreciated, and the crust was of a nice thinness. The flavours of this classic pizza was simply enjoyable, nothing too heavy with the cheesiness on point! Rate:🌟🌟🌟

Spicy vodka Rigatoni 29++ Honestly it's very harmonious, idk how much vodka there was but I wouldn't have suspected a thing if you didn't tell me. Small pieces of sausages and onions were both quite generous, and this dish tastes abit Asian idk why(gochujang to me and chili crab to her). Rigatoni was just a tad hard tho

Mafaldine cacio e Pepe 27++ I mean sure it's not bad, the cheesiness was enough but not too much, and it wasn't overwhelming. But idk why anyone would fork out 30bucks for something with absolutely no ingredients lol. It's not mindblowing anyway I mean if this is an authentic cacio e Pepe, good for them, it doesn't taste too different from what I imagine anyway. It's literally cheese and black pepper what did you expect?

Truffle ricotta toast 30++ The ricotta was quite creamy in texture, much better than the ones at supermarkets. However it doesn't have much taste except for a mild milkiness The truffle shavings are clearly not enough for us to taste anything, but I doubt it's a very good and earthy kind. So what you actually taste is just the cheap truffle paste at the bottom of the ricotta, with the sickly truffle oil aroma. Thank God it's suppressed due to the heaps of ricotta Toast was brilliant, very crispy on the outside yet still super airy, and holds the thick ricotta well The flavours made for a light appetiser, but the cheap truffle paste is something I hate. Overall I won't recommend anyway even if you like truffle paste, just not stunning enough to deserve 30++

Good ol' Authentic Thai! Came by for a celebratory meal as I saw that they sold a wide variety of seafood at an affordable price. They're having a promo for their crabs and we got 2 mud crabs for $48, and topped up $40 for the Tom Yum Mama pot. The pot was chock full of fresh prawns, squid, clams and noodles, though I thought the price was a lil bit steep. Crabs were great and decently sized for the price, and the tomyum soup was on the lighter side (though you can add chilli flakes for a spicier kick!). We also got the sambal kang kong ($12) which was delicious, and Iced Green Milk Tea ($3.50) to wash everything down - pleasantly surprised that the syrup is provided separately so you can dial the sweetness to your liking! Ended off with a Mango Glutinous Rice ($9) which was so good and the mangoes were so sweet, though I felt they could be more generous with the sticky rice. Overall, a great meal at great value, and at a convenient location too! Would definitely return!

· 🦑 Tender Loving Squid 。... ~ · Steamed Fresh Squid (Thai Style) - $15.90 · Many visit Yaowarat for TomYum Mama Seafood Pot, which is quite shiok when shared with friends and family. Those who like seafood can consider their fresh steamed squid. It’s cooked to great tenderness, flavourful as well. Great for sharing as well · Yaowarat Seafood @yaowaratseafood

Black Glutinous Rice 8.9+(SVC Only) Every once in a while, a godly dish comes along. What's rarer is when you totally didn't expect it. Perfect pulut Hitam, salty coconut milk, ice cream, crunch from peanuts and crispies. The interplay of textures, temperatures and flavours are truly Michelin worthy. Worth a pilgrimage, just for this dessert. Truly the best black glutinous rice dessert I've ever had PS unfortunately, not all their desserts are equally astounding. Heard from the other table that the mango is sour(mango sticky rice)

Nice Attempt At Spanish Tapas Taste: generally taste was decent. Paella ($20 for 1 person portion) had a nice umami to it. Ordered the 4 for $36 deal. Had beef burger, pineapple chicken, Grilled squid and Cerviche as well. Tapas was tasty but not amazing. The lemon grass panna cotta was the highlight of the meal. The flavors were interesting and goes really well together. Summary: Would love to support local businesses. However, have to say that tapas is a pricey dish for many singaporeans...

Spring Chicken With Seasoned Vegetables Damage: $20+ Spring chicken was hugeee and nicely cooked. Juicy and not bland. Vegetable were nicely grilled, soft but still alittle crunchy. Not sure what cuisine they are serving, I'm guessing fusion or Spanish? They also have tapas and cheap beer.

Flavourful Prawn Aglio ($15+) They customised it to non-spicy. Still yummy! This pretty cafe is a little quiet on a Sunday lunch time. Do come and give this place a try!

3/5 Bruschetta 2/5 Golden Seafood 2/5 Porchetta Baked Pork Belly 4/5 Eggplant Parmigiana 2/5 Cacio e Pepe 3/5 Sicilian Cannoli 1/5

Authentic Italian Food Managed to get reservation and ordered few dishes such as pizza ($10), fried rice ball ($9), porchetta ($10), parmigiana ($15) & tiramisu ($16). For the quality, I would say the price is reasonable and really worth it

Amaretti They have a section of Italian bakes. This is an almond cookie that's soft inside. The almond whiff was very strong so I'm not a fan.
