Toasted mantou with super fluffy and MOist scrambled eggs, sautéed mushrooms and a sad piece of pineapple along with a kopi c kosong. It was $5.90 for the whole set, which I found super worth it, considering its not crowded on a weekday and I could sit here for ages reading.
This was AMAZING at the price point. People usually come here for the mala but this is well worth a try too!! Portion was really large for $28 (if I remember correctly), with a generous serving of your daily greens hidden in the part oil-part broth so you can try to feel a little better about this indulgence.
Black sesame cake and tiramisu from nesuto, a cozy space around the tanjong pagar/duxton which was perfect for a post Friday-night dinner. Preferred the goma cake here to the one at Hvala - - far lighter, fluffier and easier on the palate with an equally strong black sesame flavour, which I really loved. The tiramisu was okay but not fantastic imo. Nonetheless these desserts, originally $9 and $11.50 respectively, were much more worth it on #burpplebeyond! They also have a really interesting range of teas to go with your desserts -- both hot and cold brewed. Boyfriend and I tried pandan, which isn't really up my alley but the others looked promising too.
I think it was $3. I don't know why reviews fawn upon them, I found the breads here to be very average and one of the owners horribly reticent, ruining my experience entirely, but maybe it was just an off day for them.
A throwback, because park bench deli took this off their menu sometime when I was out of town and I'm salty about it. Bring this back please! Hands down the best vegetarian sandwich I've EVER had (and I've had a lot). Beautifully seasoned falafel and tzatziki yogurt dressing studded generously with cranberries, and tucked between lettuce and rye bread. It was a brilliant combination. Even meat-loving boyfriend was a fan. I missed this so much while away, and will continue to now that it's off the menu. Rest in peace, broccoli falafel sandwich.
This was SO good for $7! A friend and I needed a place to chill for several hours. We were heading to Asanoya bakery when we chanced upon this small cafe next to Kum Yan Methodist Church at Bras Basah MRT, and decided to stop by. Am I glad we did--lovely staff who were very apt at recommending their picks, cozy interior, fairly-priced food and coffee. This sandwich I ordered had a layer of hae bee hiam and another thicccc slab of egg mayo, both separated by some cucumber and tomato. Photos don't really do it justice. The egg mayo was SUPER SOLID - - not some canned shit but chunks of egg you could actually see and taste and just the right amount of mayo and seasonings to blend with it. This made for a very comforting teatime snack, especially on a drizzly day like today. Other things on the menu include some gorgeous looking tarts, soups, heftier-looking breads and an extensive drinks list. I'll defo be back!
Avo and eggs on toast for my first brunch back: simple, healthy fare after far too many months of oily fried rice and jianbings on exchange in China. Nothing really fancy or unique about the dish, but this was a decently sized portion which kept me fairly full till afternoon. Originally $16, but half the price with my #burpplebeyond subscription, and so very worth it! Excited to be able to post more consistently now that I'm back for good.
I love these waffles; been eating them with my family since I was in secondary school so many years ago and the taste hasn’t changed at all!! The MSW gelato is creamy without being too jelak, while the slightly-bitter chocolate provides a nice balance to the sweet durian. Genuinely comforting.
This was excellent! Really recommend to mushroom lovers like myself — solid thin crust and healthy-ish tasting, even for pizza.
got a build your own bowl here ($12), with soba, shimeji mushrooms, broccoli, grilled prawns and a poached egg. Amazing value, with ingredients cooked fresh on the spot (unlike makisan). Right now it seems overshadowed in terms of online publicity by Simple Burger next door, but I’d highly recommend popping by this place! They also serve up pretty interesting lattes (coconut gulu melaka, anyone?) and healthy drinks.
It was so delicious (and incredibly filling), I'm inspired to do the same combination for one of my homemade lunches soon! #burpple
