Beef rendang ($25) 🐄 8/10 If you're looking for authentic and delicious peranakan food, look no further than @the.blueginger . I obviously have a palate inclined towards western flavours. However I was still extremely impressed by the meal! The rendang here is braised for hours and mixed with a sauce rich in ginger, lemongrass, and lime leaf. But what was special was how thick and creamy and coconut-forward the actual rendang was!

Ayam panggang ($16) 🍛 10/10 They really know how to handle their meats here because they turned this unassuming chicken thigh into one of my favourites of the meal. The skin was crispy and the meat so tender! The creamy smokeiness of the sauce will win over even the most stubborn of picky eaters. A dark horse but a crowd favourite in the end.

Ikan goreng cili garam ($22) 🐟 5/10 I'm usually a fan of this style of fish because well... I like little chunks of deep fried meat. But the fish here was way too dry. What a letdown.

Seperate menu for burpple Catadventure brings us to HV Cat was stunned when waiteress brought out seperate menu for burpple beyond deal Food good

Maki Rolls Each roll for $20 before GST *Burpple have a different menu for these rolls* 4⭐️/5 Deep Fried Roll Cripsy outer layer with deep fried ebi. Lots of elements and flavours in this maki roll. People who don’t eat raw fish, can definitely try this. 4⭐️/5 Salmon Teriyaki Roll Very saucy, very nice. Main highlight is the collaboration of the avocado, aburi salmon and the spicy mayo that elevates the maki roll.

Pretty meh Decided to pop by to try Takeshi-san as I remembered seeing quite a bit of publicity on it on social media. Plus, Burpple has a 1-for-1 sushi roll deal here so why not. They have a $5 drinks for Happy Hour 5-7pm daily as well as all-day $5/$6/$8 bar bites so we started of with those. We had the Umeshu, Suntory Highball, and the Lime Sui Gin Soda for drinks which were pretty okay for their price. As for sides, the Mozarella Sticks were lightly-battered with a nice cheese pull, made even better by the accompanying spicy sauce. Chawanmushi and Crispy Salmon Skin weren't worth it, can skip. Now for the Burpple Sushi Rolls, you have a separate menu of 4 sushi rolls to choose from. We had the Spicy Tuna Roll and Salmon Teriyaki Roll. Honestly, nothing much to shout about; just average and I'm pretty sure they were specifically made to be costed at $10 each, otherwise I don't think it's worth $20. We also ordered the Garlic Fried Rice with Wagyu Cubes. Fried rice was nice, lots of garlic flavours within, but there were clumps of plain white rice scattered throughout. Wagyu cubes were so-so and just forgettable - not what I would've expected from wagyu. Furthermore, our wagyu fried rice took so long to arrive and when we got the staff to check, she told us that it was sent to the wrong table by mistake. Did no one realise or said anything? Welps, at last they gave a 30% discount for the wait time. Overall, don't think I would return.

GREATTT PIZZA great service and food:-)) theres upstairs seating w air conditioning but we sat outside for the vibesss. lovedddddd the mentaiko mac and cheese !!!! highly recommend it!! cheese pizza was delicious as well (one with the burrata) great for strong cheese loversss

Good pizza and bites Enjoyed my meal at Yeast Side. The crust mid wings were crispy, juicy and the Queen Margherita had a chewy crust with well balanced flavours. Overall a nice vibe, friendly service and a good craft beer. Would recommend!

Good hangout spot Had a great time at Yeast Side! We tried their signature Queen Margherita pizza which had an airy crust and well balanced with tomato and cheese. Their crispy mid wings were crunchy and well seasoned. Perfect spot for hanging out with friends / family over some craft beer too!

Mentaiko Carbonara The pasta was soaked in a pool of creamy-based sauce that was not only thick but extremely tasty as well, that comes with a poached egg which intensifies the creaminess of the spaghetti! It comes with shimeji mushrooms and bits of bacons which were generous for its pricing, topped with mentaiko for its decadent umami taste! Note: Food photos were taken before the current circuit-breaker measure.

Kurobuta Pork Loin The meat was extremely tender and juicy to cut into and sprinkled in a homemade house sauce, with a small but glistening layer of fat near the skin that was silky and melt-in-your-mouth! The accompanying sautéed vegetables were also crunchy with a charring taste, whereas the roasted potatoes were soft and appetising to have! Note: Food photos were taken before the current circuit-breaker measure.

[Farmers k Chefs] - The humble Aglio Olio Pasta ($9) speaks volume with its fiery touches. The combination of both dried and bird’s eye chilli gave a more rounded taste of heat and spices, along with the right dose of minced garlic. Adding on the sautéed prawns ($13) is ideal. A child-friendly non-spicy version is also available. . Find out more at https://www.sgfoodonfoot.com/2019/10/farmers-and-chefs-singapore-conference.html .

Assorted Bowl The Assorted Bowl ($16.90) comes with 12 slices of assorted seafood on top of flavoured Japanese rice. The sashimi slices are fresh, thick and full of natural sweetness. The rice is equally impressive - I’m not sure what they did to the rice but it is so flavourful that I did not need any additional sauce to go with the sashimi. This is one delicious and value-for-money sashimi bowl that you can find under a HDB flat at Tanjong Pagar Plaza.

Spicy salmon don Two thumbs up for the spicy salmon don 👍👍

Salmon Don ($10.90) Relatively affordable and yummy Japanese dons. The regular salmon came with 8 pieces of juicy salmon pieces. Not the best cuts (and one had a bone) but decent and enjoyable for the price! While most places serve standard plain sushi rice, love that their rendition comes with fragrant rice and a whole range of sides - chewy jellyfish, wakame, and crunchy pickles. The rice was flavoured with distinct but not overpowering truffle, with added delights from tobiko, sesame, and chopped mushrooms. Added tobiko (+$2) for extra textural contrast and pops of briny juiciness. 📍@chirashikingkong, 02-06, Tanjong Pagar Plaza, Singapore (other outlet at Milennia Walk and Neuros)

𝗖𝗿ê𝗽𝗲 𝗮𝘂 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗼 🍫 ($12.80) Filled with dense cream which was pretty much tasteless, everything was overpowered by the strong flavours of Banana 🍌, even the chocolate sauce provided did nothing to balance out the flavours. Highly approve of the Chocolate Gelato served on the side though, it was smooth and chocolatey and was the highlight of this dessert.

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗱 ($35.80) 🦆🥔 Originating from Harajuku, Japan, Café Aux Bacchanales opened their first international outlet here on the sunny shores of Singapore, and I must confessed that I've walked past it several times while shopping in Plaza Singapura. 🫣😝 . As a French-Japanese Cafe & Bistro, my first thought was... Another Hoshino Coffee-ish café? 🧐 . TBH, I wasn't quite blown away by the food here, and for their higher price points, I was expecting the level of quality to be much higher than say... Hot Tomato 😅🍅. . 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗹 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗼☕🍮 ($6.50) - An Autumn Special, this was an okay-ish cuppa but didn't pack much of a punch. Super easy to drink though. . 𝗦𝗶𝗿𝗹𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀 🥩🍷($25.80) - We had to send this back the first round, because it was so well done that it was completely tough and rubbery. The manager mentioned that it's "normal" for the sides to be well done and wanted us to confirm if the middle was the same. At this point, I was a bit like... HUH. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Thankfully, the 2nd piece (albeit smaller) was much juicier, and the saving grace of this dish was definitely the crispy Steak Frites and Red Wine Sauce. . 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗱 ($35.80) 🦆🥔 - Probably the best dish we tried, the inside of the Duck Confit was soft and juicy, although I wished that the skin could have been more crispy and slightly less salty on certain portions. . 𝗖𝗿ê𝗽𝗲 𝗮𝘂 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗼 🍫 ($12.80) - Filled with dense cream which was pretty much tasteless, everything was overpowered by the strong flavours of Banana 🍌, even the chocolate sauce provided did nothing to balance out the flavours. Highly approve of the Chocolate Gelato served on the side though, it was smooth and chocolatey and was the highlight of this dessert. . Overall, I'd say this is a nice quiet place 🌿 to chill out and have a cuppa coffee ☕ or glass of wine 🍷 in the middle of Plaza Singapura, with its spacious interior in the heart of Orchard Road. Special shout-out to the friendly staff who are really good with babies!😁💫

Cinnamon Roll The long weekend got me craving for some of @AntherSG Cinnamon Rolls! A delicious cross between a cinnamon bun and a croissant, the sugar-dusted pastry had the perfect amount of flakiness that is well-balanced with its chewy-soft center. At $6 a pop, the cinnamon fragrance of the bake was prominent but not too overpowering in my opinion as you still get that lovely buttery sweetness. The beautiful laminations also creating that fabulously crisp texture. So good.

Cinna-croissant The ingenious move of combining a cinna roll & croissant is a perfect matchmake in heaven! 😍 A flaky, crispy exterior, paired with a soft, fluffy & sweet interior makes this a delish pastry to have with coffee, or just as a snack by itself!

Matcha Latte ($5.50) it's smallest cup for their size but then its looking cute and mini size tbh. its taste sweet, milky and not that "bitter" type one for matcha.

Cosy quaint + good coffee Stopover for coffee after lunch on a weekday - crowd came about 3pm for tea break. Cosy quaint cafe with minimalist tad industrial interior. Nice cold brew!

FLAT WHITE | BANANA CHOCOLATE BREAD ☁️ see full review on ig @nibsandgobs https://www.instagram.com/p/CaEA2nHPpgJ/?utm_medium=copy_link

Flat White ($5.50) A good cup of flat white! I liked that it wasn’t too sweet or milky, allowing you to appreciate the aroma of the coffee beans. This place uses beans from Proud Mary, a famous speciality coffee roaster in Melbourne and Oregon. I also liked that they use packaging made from sustainable materials, while supporting young female artists and designers with their projects. Being both environmentally and socially involved is definitely a plus point to their business! Loved the vibes of the shop - a barber inside and a takeaway coffee/food counter by the doorway. You might just walk right past it thinking it’s just a barber shop without realizing that it serves great coffee and food too! It’s hidden within Hounds of The Baskervilles Barber Shop and have limited seating available. We visited on a Saturday late morning and it wasn’t too busy, probably waited about 10-15 minutes for our toastie to be served. Staff were friendly.

The First Born Toastie ($13) A toastie packed with flavour - beef pastrami, dijonnaise, roasted bell peppers, Swiss cheese and mozzarella - sandwiched between crispy toasted bread. All toasties come with salted potato chips and a pickle on the side. I quite enjoyed the toastie, being a fan of mustard, as the taste of Dijon mustard came out quite strong, but went really well with the salty meaty beef pastrami and cheese. Unfortunately the roasted bell peppers were quite overpowered by its accompanying strong tasting ingredients. The potato chips were slightly too salty for my liking. Overall - pretty good toastie. Wish it was slightly bigger given the price, but still not a bad choice if you’re around the area and are looking for a decent toastie takeaway.

Special Bean Curd The special bean curd from YY Kafei Dian offers a delightful culinary experience with its flavourful taste and unique texture. Accompanied by a generous serving of vegetables, it's not only delicious but also great value for money at just $9. Highly recommended for those seeking a satisfying dish to go with fluffy rice!

Doughnut & Croissant The fluffy doughnut from YY Kafei Dian is delightfully light and airy, with a perfect touch of sweetness, making it an irresistible treat. Meanwhile, the plain croissant stands out with its wonderful layers and hint of buttery flavour. Both are excellently crafted and highlight the cafe's commitment to quality baked goods. Loved the iced milo and iced milk tea.

Egg Tart ($2.20) Decided to order for trying their side dish beside their kaya bread. I felt that their egg tart custard was not that bad and not that hard (decent level) but their outer pastry crust was slightly hard to chew thru.
