Hello lobster roll, you're still as damn good as I remembered! And I never imagined that cold kangkong can amount to anything worth mentioning but the blanched greens here are just zippy with calamansi juice and perfectly fried, non-bitter shallots. And the grilled baby squids are pretty tantalising with a heady, smoky aroma. *beams*

Only served during lunch this is one hae bee hoon or mee you may not want to miss. Fresh tasty prawns with a big slice of pork done Japanese style and the star is the soup. Not a taste of MSG it's pure prawn soup. Pricy yes but worth it.

Burnt Ends is famous for their pulled pork burger and sharing plates, but they do steaks equally well. The Onglet ($26/100g) is a very well executed piece of charcoal-grilled hanger steak – charred to perfection, wonderfully tender and packs a punch of flavour along with the accompanying beef jus. The Rump Cap is excellent as well: cooked flawlessly and served with burnt onion sauce and and bone marrow. Also great is the Mayura Cube Roll ($60/100g), that as Tastemaker Veronica Phua puts it, is "buttery to the nth degree" and "expertly grilled with nothing but a sprinkle of sea salt – the epitome of a perfect steak".

Ridiculously photogenic and reminiscent of brunches in Sydney, Paddy Hills is a rustic the even though located in the far West. The hotcake is done very well and berries were really fresh and juicy. Please order this and others for sharing as portions are huge.

Brunch in the West at a place with food of East and West influence .

I won't mind returning to this place if not for the distance away from home.

Bucatini Grilled Prawns Pasta: The prawns are really huge and fresh. Pasta is fragrant with a tinge of garlic and pepper taste. I will prefer a thinner choice of pasta actually (personal preference) in order to lessen that 'alkaline' taste .

Fried Wings: The wings are pretty yummy. The batter is nice and the chicken is really tender and moist. I would have liked it more if the meat inside is more seasoned or flavored. But overall, it is still yums!

The last time here, I was convinced that it was an oyster bar but not a chop house. But this changed my mind :) Muuch better than the supposedly better cut I had the prev time.
