Duck Confit Tagliatelle ($28) I decided to use burpple 1 for 1 voucher for trying their pasta (mains). I finally trying their best selling pasta after a long time. But I felt that their pasta was a bit thick as hard to chew thru. Duck confit was quite tender and not that hard. But fried hazelnut reminded me of Ferrero Rocher enhance the pasta's taste.

Breaded Oyster ($15) The oyster was freshly made fried on the spot when the customer order. I felt that the oyster got too much for batters, still juicy, crunchy and crispy texture for first try.

Chicken Parmigiana ($27) My sister felt that it was quite overwhelming for tomato sauce tbh. But then breaded chicken cutlet got too much batter inside lol.

Sizzling Shakshuka $12 Blink and you’ll miss it on both fronts, Earth Shop & Cafe is a laidback lifestyle store on Joo Chiat Road selling local and regional produce and goods. In the back is a tiny cafe which spills out into a quaint alley whose walls are decorated with vibrant graffiti as well as a hole-in-the-wall coffee bar as their next door neighbour. - Their vegetarian-centric menu is small but focused and showcases locally sourced ingredients, such as these kampung eggs with bright orange yolks nestled in a bubbling hot tomato and chickpea stew. - Earth Shop & Cafe 281 Joo Chiat Rd, Singapore 427535 - Taste: 3/5

Banana PBJ $6 I prefer my sourdough crustier and for $6, they could have been more generous with the housemade raspberry jam and cashew butter. Frankly speaking, this isn’t anything you couldn’t make better at home in 5 minutes. - Earth Shop & Cafe 281 Joo Chiat Rd, Singapore 427535 - Taste: 2.5/5

Farmer's Breakfast $14 Most of the dishes you’ll find at this very hidden and quaint cafe tucked in the back of a Joo Chiat shophouse are lightly seasoned and eat clean. Their Farmer’s Breakfast comes with scrambled eggs, king oyster mushrooms with pesto, avocado slices, a side salad with tangy dressing and hash browns(which were slightly greasy). If you’re not a big eater, this is the perfect size and price. - Earth Shop & Cafe 281 Joo Chiat Rd, Singapore 427535 - Taste: 3/5

Bouncy, Chewy Noodles Topped With So Much Ingredients! Jia Xiang Sarawak Kolo Mee is a mian mesh of delicious meats and dumplings on a bed of QQ noodles! I love the dish for its versatile nature. However, the char siew is slightly too sweet for my liking. But overall, it’s great to eat on a Sunday! #HappyBurpday

Creamy Crispy Barramundi, Melts In Your Mouth, In A Rustic Pub So good, it literally melted on my tongue. The Drunken Poet’s Fish and Chips are mindblowing. Underneath that crispy batter is a fish so fresh! As I chewed, the surprisingly tender fish disintegrated into deliciousness. Highly recommend this pub for good British Grub! #HappyBurpday

This is one of those coffee places that you may never find out unless you walk into it, see photos on your social media feed. Quarter Life Coffee is found within Bunkerbunker at Prinsep Street, which is within DECK – a modular site featuring an independent art space. Interesting to note that they only use single origins and don’t have a signature blend as they believe in featuring coffees from various regions and the story behind their production. Bakes offered are supplied by The Plain Jane, known for its fluffy Swiss Rolls with soft cream. Get the Hazelnut, Thai Milk Tea, or Matcha rolls if they are available. bit.ly/sgcafes

Brought the family here for a coffee. Quaint and cozy. #tingzieeats #burpple #tingzietimewithfolks

BEST WAFFLES EVA! Crispy and tasty waffles! One of the best i ever eaten so far! Other food like the pasta and pizza is good as well! Ambience and service was 10/10! Definitely will recommend to friends!

The Only Keto Snowskin Mooncake! This is by far the only keto snowskin mooncake i have seen and tasted so far, and after biting into it, i must say, it was excellent! Its hard to find keto and other healthy desserts, but Sofi Cafe has it all! Keto desserts keto drinks and keto meals! Come here if you care about your health and how your food tastes at the same time!

Great Pizzas We tried the Pollo Pepperocino and the popular Parame E Rucla. Both were great for the price especially with the crispy thin crust that was both tasty and perfect if you're conscious about the carbs. Thought the Pollo was a little odd with the avocado toppings but it turned out fine and the Parame was lovely as ever, although they could've been a bit more generous with the ham toppings. The ambience was quaint and cozy and the staff were very helpful. Totally recommend!

Burpple Dinner Had this a while ago with the Burpple Beyond. Too bad they are closed now

Burpple Set Dinner $62+ While I was ecstatic to finally have a chance at trying Gastrosmith’s new private dining concept, I was also saddened to hear that this will be their final month at their current location in Katong i12. The good news is they intend to open in town sometime in the future. Their exclusive Burpple set dinner has got to be one of the best quality and value-for-money #burpplebeyond deals around, with 3 sharing plates for 2 and a substantial main each, all for the princely sum of $62+. Chef Dillon is the sole cook in the kitchen, and still he manages to execute astoundingly flavourful and well-balanced dishes across a broad spectrum of cuisines, all in a very timely fashion. First dish to hit the table is an absolute stunner – achingly sweet vine-ripened tomatoes over silken Japanese tofu, languishing in a bath of olive oil and barrel-aged balsamic vinegar. The sweet tartness of the the latter and richness of the former worked well with the lighter main components, with hints of citrus and the crunch of pine nuts adding delicious complexity. Taste: 4/5

Free-range Chicken & Chanterelle Siew Mai I’m always impressed by chef Dillon’s ability to consistently take Asian classics and successfully add his own personal twist to them. Who would’a thought of chicken siew mai, and that it would taste this good? The dumpling is so tender and meaty and is wrapped in a paper-thin skin. That would have been good enough for me, but here at Gastrosmiths good enough ain’t enough. The kicker is the deeply earthy porcini and truffle sauce that unexpectedly works amazingly well with the siew mai. This was the second third plate of Gastrosmiths’ exclusive Burpple set menu for 2, which is a steal for only $62+ for #burpplebeyond subscribers. Hurry before they shut their doors at the the end of May! Taste: 5/5

ravioles de royans ($18 - S) look how cute the ravioli are!! so small!! they’re filled with cheese and laden in(?) a delicious cream sauce. as much of a cheese lover as I am, I highly recommend sharing this as it’s veryy rich!

Scrambled Eggs ($20++) I’ve always loved creamy and fluffy scrambled eggs, but this one missed a mark a teeny bit. The Scrambled Eggs dish ($20++) includes eggs topped with aged parmesan (and supposedly truffle paste, but I only tasted/smelled a hint of it), crusted sourdough bread, and salad greens. I wouldn’t reco this for hungry eaters (like I was when I ate) as I had to prolong eating it for distributed digestion (lol) and so I can stay a bit longer 😅😋 Place is very good though. Love the warm lighting and warm service. I would come back but will most likely try a main dish next time :)

Really Good French Food And Not Too Expensive We got the truffle pizza, duck rillettes (LOVED THIS), marinated prawns (had a bit of a SG flavour to it but still liked it), ravioles large, green asparagus pizza (didn't really like this as it was too salty for me). For drinks, we got the nectar pear but it was a little too sour for me. Overall really enjoyed the food, company and ambience!

Lor Mee There are a few hawker centres around Ang Mo Kio and actually this is my first time here at Chong Bong Market. I was looking for those popular stalls with queue, which leading me to this stall selling lor mee and laksa. Their lor mee wasn’t too diluted while retain the lor. Coming with lots of ingredients such as the pork slices and ngoh hiang. Definitely a decent bowl for only $3.

Ang Mo Kio Lor Mee for Breakfast. It's very decent lor mee, the gravy not too starchy,quite light, so don’t feel so jelak, have a lot ingredients,from braised meat, fish cake, ngor hiang, hard-boiled egg and bean sprouts. 💰$4 📍Ang Mo Kio Lor Mee Laksa. Block 453A Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10 #01-17. Chong Boon Food Centre

Lor Mee Not my first time. The food probably doesn't justify the queue, but this lor mee has its merits. Most of all, above its decent ingredients, is the exceptional lor bak. They use a good and generous cut that I'm willing to compare to ramen chashu.

Peaberry Jam 2.5nett Peanut butter and raspberry if u were wondering. Again it's delightfully soft but this one was slightly more dry and the flavours were q average

Grilled Cheese 12nett The employee told me they never served beef short ribs?!?!?!??!?!?! Anyway it's not available anymore Quite disappointed that the bread was only toasted on one side and the other side was soggy, while the cheese was gooey but mild. Still not a fan of cold tomato soup though. Overall it's comforting but not stunning

Cookie Monster 2.5nett Love these kinds of super soft cookies. Generously dotted with chocolate chips, it was perfect with the sprinkle of salt on top.
