A medley of battered vegetables, mushrooms and seafood ingredients.

The price point of the bowl was about $28 which is higher than most places serving tempura but it's easily justifiable. You get to three ebi, vegetables (eggplant and pumpkin), mushrooms, kisu fish, squid and anago (sea eel); much unlike the tasteless white fish that's served at other cheaper tempura places. The batter was light enough and gave a good mouthfeel crunch I particularly enjoyed the squid, which was surprisingly tender and not chewy at all. To top it off, you will also get an egg that remains runny and half boiled even though it has been fried with a light batter on the outside.

Would definitely recommend, although do note that the waiting time between ordering and serving the food was markedly long. This could be attributed to what appears to be the practice of frying the ingredients only after the customers have made their orders.

The beef patty was cooked rather well - charred sides with a red medium middle. You can taste the beefiness of the patty and the buns were toasted. Only gripe is that I wished the burger was larger for $28. That said, it was value for money with the burpple one for one deal.

Grilled sirloin steak (medium rare) that was tender enough. The steak is served on top a bed of asparagus, mashed potatoes and coupled with a grilled tomato. It would have been better if the steak was slightly more flavourful and if the establishment provided cutlery that was more suitable for cutting meat.

Value for money under the burpple one for one meal.

Priced at $8 and under the burpple one for one deal , this meal provided decent value. The chicken floss and pineapple gave a good mix of sweetness that paired well with the savoriness of the seafood. Will order this again. Do note that the stall charges $0.50 for takeaway.

Priced at $8 and under the burpple one for one deal , this meal gave decent value with the higher than average quality of seafood. However, I would choose another dish altogether as this dish was too spicy for one who has no issues eating spicy food. Do note that the stall charges $0.50 for takeaway.

This is a fairly new addition to the usual selections of flavours. The taste of peach came off in differing degrees in different bites. That said, you could tell that they tried to balance out the flavours as best that they could. Worth a try if you like peaches.

The Hokkaido cream appears to be slightly more rich and buttery than the usual cream that one is accustomed to. Overall, a decent enough selection at $2.20

First time trying this dish. I am not sure if I understood the label of the fish in the menu, but the dish which was served eventually was not what I had in mind. The noodles were a little wet, and had a slight tomatoey ketchup taste to it, quite unlike what I would expect from stir fried noodles.
What you see is what you get, noodles with egg bits and vegetables. The beancurd skin were great though. There are probably better dishes on the menu.

First time eating at DaXi, which appears to be a place that serves taiwanese food. The batter coating the oyster mushrooms were fried to crisps, and coated with salt and other spices. Very satisfying for a mushroom lover like myself 😋

Priced at approx $6

Boy, this was a huge dish that me and my girl found it hard to finish between ourselves. The pork skin was crisp and crackled as we run the knife through it; the meat was still moist and tender. Probably best shared amongst three people.

Large schnitzel, paired with potatoes that's made all the more worth while with burpple one for one. The schnitzel needs to be paired with the cranberry sauce to cut through the deep fried food. You can request for more cranberry sauce as well.

I have been here a number of times and reviewed their mutton briyani a couple of times. Glad to say that the standard is consistent; the mutton isn't gamey, the briyani presents a flavourful and hearty meal that's available on burpple one for one. Place is conveniently located a stone throw from hougang mrt station.

I would recommend pairing the briyani with the paneer in butter masala. Those cubes of cheese are drenched in the creamy butter masala sauce, this dish is good enough to eat on its own. Rating 7.9/10.
