Stupid Queue System Takeaway queue should be different from dine in queue. Was made to wait in line for dine in and there were three people in front of us, refuse to take order for takeaway. Can’t you just allow us to put in orders for takeaway like what other restaurants do? We had to wait for 3 groups to get their seats first, before we can place our takeaway order. Doesn’t make sense.

1-1 Beef Noodles Ordered the beef balls and beef slices noodles. Soup was very flavourful and there was generous servings of meat and noodles. Sides were not part of the deal but was pretty affordable. Ice honey lemon is what it is (ok). Tried the soup options this time but will definitely be back to try to dry ones!! EXCITING!! 😋

Won’t Crave For It Tried it because of the 1-1 + heard a lot about this & it’s opened in the east but soso only leh. I only remember the beef noodles was good with the chilli

Gloomy ambience and mediocre food The ambience is a bit gloomy. Service is good, but the food is mediocre. We had kalbi, pork collar, kimchi beef stew, and seafood pancake. ALL are inferior to the Korean joints in Tanjong Pagar? Only convenient if you live in the Orchard Rd area and are too lazy to go far.

Premium meat! Good staff & food! Waited a little but is okay because the shop seemed very busy. Ordered: - Army Stew - Pork Jowl - Pork Belly We had 1-1 for the army stew & jowl. Pork belly not included for the burpple deal. Meat cuts were very premium & army stew was flavourful & had a lot of ingredients. VERY SATISFIED. WOULD COME BACK AGAIN. Although if you dont have the burpple deal it gets pricey. Total paid: $65 for 2 pax (with 1 burpple deal)

Meal For 8: $178 With Beyond I ordered the 8 colours set ($98) that comes with a free stew and used 2x 1-for-1. I redeemed 2 korean grilled squid ($22), Army Stew ($24) and a kimcheese fried rice ($20). The grilled squid was grilled to perfection 😍 and it's $11 only for a well marinated squid i'll say its very worthed it. The army stew though... the soup was basically diluted kimchi soup with very little dish in it. I had much better army stew at Seoul Garden hotpot previously. Overall, the service was very good but the food was mediocre. The price is good for big groups at $178 but i wont be back without Burpple :/

👍🏻👍🏻 👍🏻👍🏻

Bibimbap ($12) Cheap but errrr I would rather go have bibimbap at Hyang Yeon. Ingredients were okay - there’s spinach, seaweed, beansprouts, zucchini, carrots, egg, and beef. Nothing was bad but everything was very average. The rice tho, was terribly mushy - I don’t know if it’s an off-day or what but it was ridiculous, we’ve never had such mushy rice anywhere 😢 The hot stone bowl was really good tho, it kept my food steaming hot (not warm but hot) throughout the meal, and allowed a crust to develop like in claypot rice. That was the only portion of the rice worth eating. The mushy rice I managed to eat was so that I wouldn’t waste food. Banchan was average as well, there’s seasoned potatoes, beansprouts, kimchi, pickled radish, broccoli, and macaroni. This is definitely one of the least impressive Korean restaurants I’ve been to. Oh well, at least it was cheaper than usual - $14 after service charge and gst.

Singkoba (2)🥢 Honestly one of the best seafood pakcakes eaten!! Its really crispy but thick at the same time🤣 Please see my previous burpple post for Singkoba's review!!

Dinner set A 7 course dinner set, feels like an omakase but at the same time not as the serving speed of the dishes is mostly overlapping just short of serving everything at one go! 😅 But wells got it at a 1-1 deal with burpple beyond at Matsuya Dining along Beach Road! The course started out light and it get heavier towards the end. My favorites of the set got to be the Oyster which was very plump, creamy and citrusy with the ponzu sauce; followed by the Sashimi Mori, with chutoro, tai and hotate sashimi being the leading choices in the platter. The Gindara miso was also torched to perfection. The cod fish was flaky, sweet and savory. Their chawamushi is only tasty with the compliments of the Ikura otherwise, it’s like steam egg without stock. On the other hand find it a pity I didn’t get to really enjoy the Wagyu Niniku Rice. There’s a nice garlicky fragrance and aroma but the rice was a tad little too oily and the beef slices is a little overcooked to stomach after 6 courses of dishes. It seems like they do better with their raw fishes and they do seem to have a group of regulars whom will frequent them! Ambiance wise it’s like an inbetween a tradition sake house and a Japanese restaurant. The staffs were pretty friendly too!

Burpple Beyond 1-for-1 Set Meal ($144) A very small restaurant housed in Beach Centre. It was full house on a Saturday evening so I would definitely recommend making a reservation. The place has a rather casual vibe but has impeccable service. Staff is very helpful and dishes were served right on time. One after the other. They were attentive and would clear your plates once you have finished your dish. It is worth noting that the Burpple set menu was different from the ones featured in their regular menu. I was shown a photo with 5 courses and no text but in a gist this was what they were, served in order: 1.) Oyster Sashimi This consisted of 2 oysters served cut and was a pleasant surprise because it was different from regular raw oysters! The texture was a lot more chewy, less watery and was complimented well by the garnished soy sauce. 2.) Sashimi Platter (scallop, yellowtail, salmon belly, tuna belly and another white fish sashimi) Sashimi platter was lack luster in my opinion. Didn't feel particularly fresh but a nice variety of fish was presented. 3.) Prawn Tempura (fried prawn) I indicated fried prawns because it tasted more like it than tempura, lacking the crunch of tempura batter. I am not sure if it was intended to be a tempura dish, but deep fried prawns are also not common in Japanese menus 🤷🏻‍♀️ This dish was just alright. Not great. 4.) Grilled Cod with mayo and ebiko + Ikura Chuwanmushi The grilled cod was buttery and fresh. Light mayo dressing has a tangy taste to it with crunchy ebiko making it a tasty dish. Chuwanmushi was disappointing. I am a big chuwanmushi fan this was bad steamed egg for restaurant standards. Egg was tasteless and felt like it was made without special broth. Only saving grace is the fresh ikura on top. 5.) Beef with Garlic Fried Rice + Fish Miso Ginger Soup As I do not consume beef, the staff was very kind to swop it out into unagi for me. The unagi was well prepared and soft to the bite but was a really small (thin) serving. Garlic rice was delicious too. My friend who ordered beef however left most of the meat uneaten because she said it was overcooked and tough. On the other hand, the miso soup was good! It was served with fatty fish slices with bone that I don't eat, but it is my first time having miso with ginger and I was pleasantly surprised. Overall: Even though there was good service and decent food, with a wide array of dishes, I was sweating while having my food because the AC was not strong. May be because we were seated beside the drinks fridge. If you picked Unagi for the rice dish like I did, this is a very seafood-heavy course. I think it is a nice dining concept but post-taxes (with green tea) the bill came up to $143.35 and at 70 per pax I feel like you can have pretty decent Japanese food that you personally enjoy instead of being restricted by a course meal. Courses were mostly a hit or miss and the dishes I truly enjoyed were the oyster sashimi and unagi fried rice + miso soup, but you could have something similar elsewhere. Ambience: 3/10 Service: 9/10 Food: 6.5/10 Price: 4/10 (with Beyond)

5 Course Lunch Burpple beyond 1 for 1 was worth it. Sashimi was fresh and tender, portion of unagi rice was just nice. Location was easy to find, overall a great experience.

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.

Yummy! Highly recommend! Generous amount and the food was yummy!

truffles carbonara and triple cheese pizza Been so long since i dined out!! their truffles carbonara tasted superb, pasta was creamy, the truffles taste was strong and the bacon was a little salty. Their triple cheese was worth the try, the sauce and cheese was well balanced. Honestly quite a hidden gem i would say? there was only us when we came, and they close after we went? idky but do support them as its a cosy place to dine in and food is g000d!

For 1-for-1 Pasta (save ~$19) Pop by this casual pub in Changi Village for a round of after work drinks and pastas! Load up on some quality nosh at affordable prices like their Meatball Marinara ($19), Angler's Aglio Olio ($18) and their rendition of a local supper favourite — Pasta Goreng ($16). Think springy spaghetti simmered in a spicy curry ketchup and sauteed with copious amounts of chili padi, ikan bilis, lamb and chicken franks for that spicy kick! Pair it with their happy hour promotions for a perfect meal to wind down the work day.

Carbonara Definitely a classic dish, tasty and delicious. But can consider ordering other mains to share as it can get abit salty (probably they added alot of bacon) towards the end of meal.

Relaxing chill vibes Relaxing chill vibes. They even have sofas too Cant comment about the ice cream as we had alcohol. 12.90 for a bottle of soju, 3 for 30. Its on the 2nd floor, so take note

Good ice cream Premium flavours @ $5.20 with burpple beyond deal. We got hokkaido strawberry milk and apple yakult, flavours that are less found in other places. The former was mild and creamy, while the latter was a bit sour but refreshing. The serving was generous and enjoyable.

Double Scoop Besides the photo-worthy neon signs, Icebar offers a limited selection of gelatos with unique flavours. They are also open late till 2AM on Fridays to Sundays for you to get some late-night ice cream. The gelato here is priced at $4.20 for a classic scoop, $5.20 for premium, $6.20 for super premium flavours and additional scoops for $3.70. I went with their recommended flavour of grape Yakult (premium) which was supposed to be light on the palate while Binggrae banana (premium) for something milky. The grape Yakult flavour feels light with a very faint grape Yakult flavour. I would love it if they add more grape Yakult into it. The Binggrae banana was creamy and milky, something expectable and not too far off from the actual beverage. Thanks to Burpple Beyond, we get to enjoy 2 Scoops for the price of 1 ✌ (U.P $5.20/scoop)

Good food, but prices have increased 🥲 Went under the old impression that the Burpple deal was still $16 for 2 pax of chicken chop… unfortunately it has increased in price to $21 for 2 pax! So be aware :) But other than that no complaints la it’s still good food, just increased in price.

Signature Chicken Chop ($16) New menu for Burpple beyond in October! No longer mixed grill but this month, Colin’s offer is its signature chicken chop which comes with corn cob, German sausage, spaghetti aglio olio, salad and tomato soup. Price is $16 + 0.30 takeaway. With Burpple 1-1, I paid $16.60 which is quite a steal! I didn’t realise there were so many foodpanda and grab riders, my wait was exactly half an hour from the time I put in my order. Collin’s strategy of going into coffeeshops make business sense as during the pandemic, to survive one must cut down on operating costs. And one of the biggest ticket item is rental. With less dining in nowadays, most do not need ambience, they just pack and go. Smart of Collin’s to venture out and immerse themselves in the heartlands.

Signature Grilled Chicken with Kabana Pork Sausage Dabao’ed this back home! This place is nestled in a typical downstairs-coffeeshop bustling and filled with grab/foodpanda delivery riders. Be prepared to wait at least 10min in queue! Had the above set ($16 for 2), and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The grilled chicken was moist and tender, and the pork sausage gave me a shock, because I thought it was some salty frozen sausage you can find anywhere, but it was creamy and savoury. Each set comes with spaghetti, salad, corn, and tomato soup. On the downside, it was probably too peppery. But worth a shot if you’re in the area! Will definitely come again!

Spaghet lunch 🍝 The marinara spaghetti was not bad for a Thursday lunch with the coworkers ✨ but the sauce was a bit underwhelming in the sense that there wasn’t that much flavor to it. But I did enjoy the pasta- it was more of like a linguine type! And the seafood was okay as well, again, it didn’t really have much flavor to it?? I guess this dish overall was okay but I feel like there are other amazing pasta dishes you can get for a cheaper price at other places. I guess this place is more catered to meats/bbq/grilling that kind of thing so I can understand why their spaghetti wouldn’t be amazing ya kno? Deal used: 1-for-1 main dish lunch

Chicken thigh The chicken was juicy and the accompanying salad was surprisingly tasty. The mashed potatoes were ok. The sauce could have been better but overall with a Burpple 1 for 1 deal it was a yummy and value meal.

Nice food to pair with beer or wine Seafood risotto was delicious. Ingredients were fresh and generous. My hubby had the chicken. Sauce was also delicious. We ended the meal with the pistachio dessert. Not really to my liking abit too sweet. And the ice cream was pandan flavour. Not pistachio. Was expecting for pistachio ice cream hehehe. But well overall i enjoyed the food. I will come back again for the seafood risotto and drinks. Get 30% OFF Burpple Beyond PREMIUM https://www.burpple.com/invite/JANE5361
