Super yummy and cheap bingsu!! (There are two sizes reg and large) Matcha bingsu large ($10.90) had a generous serving of matcha powder that struck the right balance between bitter and sweet๐ it's one of the more expensive flavors but the rest are cheaper ($7.90 for large) and there's a 10% discount if you use your kopitiam card!!! Super worth it and makes you so happy ESP on a hot hot day๐ #BurppleCheapNGood
Tonkotsu ramen from Buta Kin ($6.90) The grilled pork was good and fatty meat lovers will definitely take a fancy to it! The soup was not as rich as other ramen places but I liked it because it wasn't too salty or made me very thirsty after eating. Noodle texture could be improved further as well but overall it was a good eat that I enjoyed! Service was great too and the stall owner is friendly๐
Sandwiched between you get a giant ball of hazelnut rocher ice cream that came drizzled with coconut nutella sauce & enhanced with crunchy granola toppings. The thai milk tea one was full of (very thai) rich flavours, enhanced with some mango white chocolate sauce. Keep very calm dear, as itโs time to get some ice cream ๐
I saw a video on fb and I tag a chef friend of mine who has been running her own little humble shop selling puffs, pastries and food. Yea, everything done by herself! Very capable girl and she really create this amazing matcha puff and put in her menu! I'm quite skeptical about matcha products. If the chef doesn't do a good job, you can take the powdery after taste. I'm so glad that my friend is skilled and it doesn't have that powdery after taste. Very smooth and the best thing is oozy effect that literally triggers all your senses to life! Hahaha! Thanks @neato.100 for making my dream come true! You have my fullest support! Please follow Neato at Burlington Square for very unpretentious pastries!
I was about to write a review, then realised that no number of adjectives could do justice to the food that the photo already didn't. I can't recall having a bad thing at Shin Kushiya.
Since i can't have joobarsg and laneway's risotto, I have to make do with seafood risotto from ambush ๐ for my afternoon comfort food. Reasonably priced lunch set -12.90++ with a soup and drink.
Sadly, with the overuse of cheese, it gets super gelat after awhile but kudos to generous seafood!
- Garlic Prawn Risotto: grilled garlic prawns in arborio rice of rich prawn bisque with asparagus, a mixture of soft rice with a slight crunch from the asparagus and prawns so good that I literally cleared the plate and almost licked it clean ๐ Really good for this wet chilly weather! Wish I could have a bowl to myself now!
Finally had the chance to have a meal at this burp-pular place! Steaks come in 200g/ 400g/ 600g option. Went medium rare and the meat blended well with the semi-honey mustardish tartar sauce (?). Enjoyed it and it'll be even better if they can slice the meat thinner.

The herb lamb sausage infused into the tomato based sauce! The semi egg added another layer of creaminess which made it very suitable to dip it with the wholemeal Pita. So Good!
Shocking but true--don't fall off your chair--the price of this lunch set has remained almost the same (increased only by 50 cents) since the owner introduced it more than 10 years ago! What an incredible feat given how everything has become so expensive these days.
Why do I think it's such good value? Well, for $13.50++, you get five sticks of grilled deliciousness in the form of bacon-wrapped asparagus (my favourite), meatballs, chicken with leek, a kind of a marinated rolled pork (I think) and quail's eggs. The amount of rice may not be much but it's topped with seaweed, stewed shiitake mushrooms plus some minced pork with gravy. Damn "oishi!" You also get a few raw vegetable sticks served with a fermented bean paste dip, Japanese pickles and a bowl of miso soup. That's not all. When you're almost done hoovering up the yummy contents of your bento box, a small bowl of chilled azuki red bean paste with a single mochi ball appears in front of you. The perfect sweet touch to round off a most satisfying meal.
$24.90++ for dinner, fresh meats & lovely sides.
