The Gyu Don signature meets the mark for its price point. The beef was well cooked, and maximized the potential of the beef. However the marination and the sauce lacked depth and finesse and tasted pretty much like generic mayo and yakiniku sauce, keeps you wanting more nonetheless when mixed with the rice.

After using Entertainer 25% off, it’s only $11.25/bowl so its affordable but I personally won’t return as the food is unimpressionable.

For $30+ per pop, this better be good... and it was!
The freshness and umami of the caviar and scampi, paired with the crisp texture of the bruschetta in one amazing mouthfull!

Many restaurants try to do the Truffle Capellini dish but none really gives as much impact as the Da Luca’s version.

Legendary in its reputation, I went for the full portion which was sure to fill you up. They don’t scrimp. Half portion will be just nice for you to leave room for other dishes.

Distinguished by its starchy minced meat gravy, this is definitely the sinful version of your traditional Yong Tau Foo with its meaty sauce pairing very well with the deep fried items. The bee hoon also goes really well almost like a lor mee with the meat sauce, complementing the heaviness of the sauce.

Uninspiring food that had interesting concepts but the execution was lacklustre and unimpactful.
Great service have to say.

1. MISO BUTTER CORN - FAILSAFE BUT EXPECTED TO BE WOWED
2. FLOWER CLAMS SAKE SOUP - HEARTY, TASTY AND SEAFOODY âś…
3. TIGER PRAWN MENTAIKO
- LACKS PUNCH ❌
4. SAKURA EBI CAPELLINI - UNINSPIRINGLY TASTED LIKE FRIED YEE MEE WITH HEI BEE (Fried Noodles with Dried Shrimps)❌
5. ANGUS SHORTRIBS - NICELY COOKED VANILLA DISH âś…

~ Whats the opposite for a bang for your buck?

The Four Cheese Tortellini ($18.90) was okay, ironically the bacon portion overwhelmed the pasta, good problem? Still a problem though. Also did not taste much flavour in the cheese nor tortellini fillings.

Pizza is very generic, the Meat Lover’s ($18.90) used picnic ham. Again, the cheese felt watery.

Would go somewhere else for better quality and more authentic italian fix, even with the Burple Beyond 1-for-1

Must try is the Curry Mussels!
Ordered extra Mantou to soak up the delicious rich gravy that is a mix between Chinese and Indian curry style.

I believe them when they claim their seafood is freshly farmed from the kelong, because I taste the freshness and “natural-ness” of the seafood.

Even though it is no longer on Burpple Beyond, I will come back to Scaled!

Pretty pricey but fulfils quality and wholesomeness. ($12-$14 for a standard portion)

*Based on what I have tried*

Good and Interesting Picks:
- Mashed Purple Sweet Potatoes
- Baby Corn
- Maple-glazed Tempeh
- Button Mushrooms

Everything else is pretty alright.

Avoid:
- Salmon Fillet (paid +$2 more to get dried out salmon)
- Garlic and Chili Olive Oil (not much taste and literally oil)

Once again, I find more and more validation that classic tried-and-tested pasta dishes are the best way to approach pasta as I got disappointed by the lack of depth of “fusion” or “local” pasta.

The “Chicken Rice” Pasta ($16++) realized that Chicken Rice should just be Chicken Rice. Kudos that the poached chicken was done nicely but the whole pasta dish just tastes like dried al dente ban mian in a watery a concoction of diluted chucken stock and garlic ginger chicken rice chili sauce. The reason why we should not explore certain fusion dish ideas because it just doesn’t work.

The Porky Marinara ($14++) was nothing to shout about, carried by its pork belly slices and deep fried pork lard crumbles. The sauce, which is the heart of a pasta dish, was an uninteresting and unflavourful tomato-ey sauce.

We also ordered two sides.

Corn and Crab ($6++) was corn kernels with cooked crab mince with some Japanese furikake. Not bad, not amazing.

The Spiced Supremo Chicken Skins ($6++) was great with a cumin-based seasoning to the crispy chicken skin

Despite the good value provided by Burpple Beyond 1-for-1 Mains and Sides, I think overall, the palate of Pasta Supremo does not match our preferences at all in terms of complementary ingredients and tastes which is definitely what makes or breaks fusion cuisine.

I am not too sure what is supposed to be the signature or theme of NY Night Market.

Well, to me it was just very status quo black pepper steak and mac n cheese. Nothing to shout about. Only interesting thing were the “avocado fries” that came as a side

Quality is there with the unagi, truffle and rice.
Only downside is the slightly small portions for $12.90

$8 for one smal claypot of frog’s legs (spring onion & ginger style or kung pow chili style), reckon theres 2-3 frogs in there.

Kinda regretted getting the Deep Fried Large Intestines ($6.50) because they were hard, possibly due to refrying. Recalled they were good thats why I ordered.
