Tanuki Raw has been highly praised by the people around me and I'm super glad it didn't disappoint.

This is hands down one of the best beef bowls you will ever have here in Singapore. I'm absolutely in love with and crazy over how flavorful every single element of the dish was. Even the rice had flavor to it, unlike many other places selling beef bowls! An oozy onsen egg along with tender and well-cooked short ribs, this rice bowl really had no flaws.

Sadly, it's really costly though so I would highly recommend going during lunch hour for their lunch promos ☺️

Absolutely loved the fact that they served the ice cream in a cup separately ☺️ The cookie was soft and easy to eat, and the chocolate lava was flavorful. However, I wish that there was more chocolate lava given as I finished it rather quickly.
A small creamery located below a HDB Block, I really liked the interior and environment of the place as well!

A different twist from the ordinary swiss roll! It's not overly sweet and the swiss roll was soft as well ☺️ A little over-priced for me but still a great neighborhood dessert. They do sell many different flavors of swiss rolls but I highly recommend the Earl Grey one!

Absolutely loved the springiness of the noodles which many wanton mee stores tend to lack! The best part of this dish is definitely the wanton. Without the wanton, the dish was just an above average wanton mee but with it, it elevates the dish to a whole new level. The skin of the wanton was thin and the meat inside was soft and moist. When eaten together with the noodles, it's simply indescribable.

However, I do agree that this place is rather over-rated but definitely one of the better wanton mees I've eaten ☺️

🚫 Warning: Killer Queue and Wait time 🚫

The Burning Oak has been a wishlist of mine for a while now, and I finally had the chance to go down to try it! The queue to order was around 30 mins long and thereafter, I still had to wait another 30 mins for my food to be served. You know what they say though, "no pain, no gain".

I loved the color of the beef and it was definitely cooked well. Everything else including the rice was just rather average. Dang, but the pork cheek was really the star of the dish. One bite into it and I was already in awe. It was so soft and melted in my mouth; simply heavenly. Overall, it was a good dish but if you don't like queueing or waiting, this definitely isn't the store for you. πŸ˜”

They're currently having their latest WAGYU PROMOTION and all bentos come with rice, onsen egg, Japanese pickles and miso soup!

A tonkotsu broth with a special blended miso paste and fragrant garlic oil, as well as pork loin, pork belly, black fungus and spring onions, this ramen was packed with so much flavor. I liked how Ippudo Ramen allows you to choose the hardness of the ramen as well! I tried the Shiromaru broth as well and it was "clearer" than the Akamaru broth, but if you're like me and prefer a more flavorful broth, Akamaru is the ramen for you!

Also, this Tanjong Pagar outlet just opened around 2 weeks ago and super thankful to have been able to go on their opening day (where there was a 1-for-1 offer on all ramens heh) πŸ™πŸ» So thank you Ippudo Ramen!!

Buttermilk waffles with Cookie Butter ice cream

Located right opposite Fatcat, Routesixtysix sells charcoal, buttermilk and red velvet waffles just like Fatcat, but at a cheaper price!

The waffle was crispy and soft on the inside while the Cookie Butter ice cream was creamy. If you're low on cash and want a sweet treat, I would recommend this place! ☺️ I love the modern interior of the cafe as well, and it's a great place for you to relax and catch up with your friends!

Also, they're now selling HOT FOOD like Nachos Cheese Fries and Soft shell crab pasta! πŸŽ‰ Do go down to have a taste.

Under a new management, the original Banana Tree Cafe has now become V Cafe. However, the interior, location and the menu is pretty much the same.

This is honestly one of the best Bingsu I've ever eaten in Singapore. The shavings were smooth, fine and slightly milky and I loved how they layered the shavings and powder such that they wouldn't run out even after reaching the bottom of the pan. The ice cream and the red beans paired well with the dish as well. Not a big fan of black sesame, but I'm definitely a fan of this dessert πŸ˜‹

Bulgogi Beef with Tofu + Brown Rice + Romaine Lettuce

Another one of my secret spots that I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS dine at, as it's located super near to my dance studio. Selling healthy bentos, The Bento People has a range of ingredients and soup bases for you! The best thing about it is that it's completely DIY so you can choose whatever you want to eat in their menu!! You may have to add $1-$3 for certain ingredients but they do label it in their DIY menu so do look before you order ☺️ Also, there's free water for you so do just let the counter person know.

I highly recommend the Chicken & Tofu in Thai Green Curry as well as the Bulgogi Beef with Tofu. Super yummy and healthy, this place is a definite must try!

Set comes with 2 soft boiled eggs, crispy toast and a drink

A highly raved place for its kaya toasts, I was really excited to try it! It's more costly than other places, but sadly, it tasted the same. The toast was definitely crispy, but it was crazily thin and falling apart throughout my entire meal. The eggs looked beautiful though, but it tasted like normal soft-boiled eggs. Their kaya is unsweet, which I loved but I could barely taste any kaya at all, due to the ungenerous portion given. I loved the Ice Milo, however, as it was milky and chocolatey at the same time.

Pricey and just average, this place is way too raved but definitely worth a shot!

I've posted a review on their egg tarts before but dang, this picture does so much more justice to their egg tarts so here's another review!

By far, this is one of my favorite egg tarts in Singapore. The tart is soft and not flakey (yesss!!) and their egg custard such a smooth and bright yellow yellow that it was just calling out to you to eat it! The egg custard was smooth and I could taste the egg-y flavor in the custard, which many stalls lacked. I would definitely travel all the way here just to get egg tarts, and I don't think I've eaten any other egg tarts since Tai Cheong's either πŸ€”

Finally back at one of my favorite places in Singapore and I ordered the Three Colored Silky Eggs w Rice (with Roasted Pork and Crispy Pork Belly and kai lan)

The dish was super filling and definitely worth it's price! It reminded me of dishes that I would have at home with my rice so kudos to Tai Cheong for bringing a homely feel to this dish ☺️ I don't think it's just me but I'm crazy over Tai Cheong's eggs!! The eggs in this dish aren't like the scrambled eggs in their other dishes, and are, instead, fried eggs but the eggs were well cooked and silky and overall, just a super great and nostalgic meal.
