Itek Sio From Marie’s Lapis We recently had the pleasure of trying the new dish, Itek Sio, at a popular café on the east side of Singapore. This slow-cooked leg of duck is an absolute delight, featuring a harmonious blend of tamarind mixture, shallots, coriander powder, and dark soy sauce. The flavour are perfectly balanced and seep into every tender bite of the duck. Accompanying this succulent main is blue pea rice that not only adds a visually stunning element to the plate but also complements the dish with its subtle fragrance. Only $20 for now.

Tok Kong Mee Siam Pretty plating, especially with tiger prawns. But nothing about it suggested it's better than any mee siam.

Lapis Waffle@$12 Just had lunch nearby, and was searching for a place using burpple search nearby function to look for desserts and chanced upon Marie Lapis Cafe that was near where we had lunch. The store owners were ultra friendly, this and the ambience of the cafe made us feel very welcomed and homely. We proceeded to order their kueh lapis and their unique lapis waffle. 1) the lapis waffle was crispy. And tasted distinctly like kueh lapis. Their ice cream flavours also nonya style flavours, such as chendol, ondeh ondeh, mua chee etc etc. 2) kueh lapis was buttery and soft. Tasted very good. Highly recommended. Only found out while waiting for our food, that the Google reviews of this place is astonishingly high at 4.8/5. And saw alot of good reviews for their Peranakan Food like mee siam and rendang. So have earmarked to return here again to try those.

Refreshing Drinks! Located “under” JE MRT tracks, Serious Fresh offers a huge collection of drinks ranging from coconut shakes to cold refreshing teas at affordable prices. Even more so with the Burpple 1-for-1. I recommend the Triple Peach tea if you’re passing by!

Serious fresh 1for1 only for regular M sized drinks under Tea fresh. Ordered Manuka Honey Tea + Coconut milktea Sugar level fixed for Manuka. Taste was refreshing for a hot day. Not too sweet as well. Coconut milk tea is ice-blended along with other ingredients like ice cream, tea, gula melaka and creamer etc. Overall taste not bad, a rich n creamy drink. Just wished the coconut taste will be more prominent, can't really taste coconut which is a pity. Will be back to try other drinks!

Korean stew Well cooked, broth full of flavour. Great presentation too. Cozy vibes in the cafe

For 1-for-1 Main Dish (save ~$15) Pint & Dine is a one-of-a-kind culinary establishment with a menu that’s very much inspired by the idea of simple and honest cooking. Their K-Chick Waffle ($18) which consists of the classic fried chicken and waffles combination with an added side of kimchi and onion rings is exemplary of that. Take a bite and you’ll know what we mean!

5/10 food a nice cafe w good vibez + korean songs 🥺 ordered the bulgogi carbonara, mentaiko salmon rice bowl and chicken cutlet rice bowl but those were disappointing so it’s a 5/10 for me 🍽 nothing was outstanding and i will not have it again … matcha latte was alright tho … 🍵

Rustica Pizza ($33) Pizza was okay for a Domino’s Pizza fan like me

Beef Cheek Tagliatelle ($34) The braised beef almost melted-in-the-mouth, sauce was rich, rather heavy on the garlic but on the salty end of the spectrum which made it more filling.

Sunday Dinner Celebrating Mom’s Birthday Great ambience with excellent service 🥂 Cataplana ($39.80) Roasted Cod Fillet ($39.80) Mushroom Truffle Risotto ($23) Napoletana Penne <Gluten-free> ($22) Seafood and cod were juicy with crispy cod skin, yum! Skip the penne unless you’re vegetarian 🥗 The waiter kindly informed us to join a free lifetime membership with Novotel (a French hotel-chain which this restaurant was a part of) which allows you to redeem a free dessert per person 🍰

· 🥘 Taste of Homely Indian Cuisines 。... ~ · Murgh Malai Kebab - $22 Mutton Rogan Josh -  $21 · Modern restaurant that sells homely Indian cuisines. From their array of dishes, the chicken kebab (Murgh Malai Kebab) won my heart. Tender chicken that’s mildly seasoned with herbs, and cooked in traditional tandoor oven. Goes well with their Biryani. You can’t miss their wide range of curries! Mutton Rogan Josh comes with succulent mutton that’s braised in gravy till flavourful. Curries goes well with their thosai and naan · Manam @manam.sg

路过不要错过 (don't miss out!) was craving indian food so we decided to try out manam as it was near my dad's office. a little hesitant at first because we were afraid that the food would be too westernized/commercialised but it turned out to be extremely mouthwatering and tantalizing! the mutton biryani ($24+) used good quality basmati grains that were fluffy & not dry, and the mutton was only very slightly gamey! as a non-mutton eater, i thoroughly enjoyed the flavour & went back for more. the butter chicken ($20+) was decently portioned and the sauce was just so flavourful. would order with garlic naan when i go back again 🤭 highly recommend!! great service by anitha too 🫶🏻 the interior of the restaurant is dimly lit & gave off mbs hotel restaurant vibes so that is 😍😍😍 so happy to have found this

Fresh seafood sashimi on delicious rice We got the premium Don ($22.80) + drink ($3.80) burpple set and it was absolutely delicious - the scallop was sweet and fresh, the sashimi was a generous portion of tuna and salmon. And the rice was buttery and v umami with the seaweed flavours and bonito flakes mixed in! V affordable chirashi place in a central location.

Main Dish + Drink ($16.60) Located outside of International Plaza, this restaurant serves very affordable don! We got the Bafo Don ($12.80) with a Yuzu-based homemade drink ($3.80) with #BurppleBeyond - 2 mains and drinks @ $16.60! The lady boss was very friendly and shared with us the top-selling items on the menu. Highly recommend!

Super worth it! Super delicious! The seasoned rice was topped with fresh fish and various condiments and taste superb mixed together. The apple and yuzu drink was refreshing too!

yummy ice cream tried the valhorna dark chocolate, as well as a full waffle with jackfruit + peppermint & black cookie scoops! the waffle was warm n soft inside and the chocolate ice cream was super yummy

Earl grey + Matcha ice cream Walked round the corner to Grin Affair on New Year’s Eve as Denzy was too crowded. They sell ice cream too. Though ice cream is icy the flavours are nice

Burpple beyond - waffles and single ice cream Used burpple beyond to get waffles and single ice cream & tea, totalling up to around $21. Staff was clueless about the deal though. For ice cream, only 2-3 flavours didn’t require a top up, the rest requires a varying amount of top up. This deal resulted to be relatively pricey.

1-For-1 House Cocktail/ 1-For-1 Small Plates/ 1-For-1 Rice or Noodles (save~$23/$16/$21) Craving vibes that hit differently? Cherki serves up Modern Peranakan-Western fusion with craft cocktails that’ll have you coming back for more! These are the fan favourites you must try!

Lamb Shank so much goodness packed into 1 plate. the meat slid off the bone effortlessly and was super succulent. mixed with its special spice and herbs sauce which was so unique and delectable. the blue pea rice was also very tasty and fragrant. finished the last bite wanting for more

Homemade Crab Cakes, 19 Packed full of juicy crabmeat. A must try

burpple beyond food was amazing!! used the 1 for 1 vouchers for mains and side and it’s super worth!! food tasted really good too!!

Wagyu Don Ordered the most expensive Wagyu Don on a Saturday. With Burpple, I get the Anago Don free. And I can choose two items of side dishes and pay for only one. I chose Chawanmushi and Miso Soup. Quite a good place for lunch with a partner, using Burpple Beyond.

Aburi Salmon Scallop Don Honestly, was a bit disappointed. The scallops didn’t taste fresh. And there wasn’t enough sauce to flavour the rice (unless you count soy sauce)

Unagi w mentai tamago ($22), snow crab pasta ($15) Unagi was quite small in portion. Mentai tamago combi is 👌🏻. Snow crab pasta taste like chilli crab sauce w lots of meat

Ok food for price (1 for 1) Ordered unagi fried rice - portion is small, unagi not visible but taste of unagi is evident. Seafood pasta came abit wet tasted abit more home cooked than restaurant style. Thought the oyster comes together with the seafood pasta but they claimed they served wrongly (and told me only when I was making payment) - suspect they do this with all tables who didn’t hit the min spending. Then say out of goodwill will give a 15% off for the 1 raw oyster. Overall, nice ambience but poor business ethics, won’t recommend

🐮 Gyuniku Shiogayaki Don ($18) They're pretty generous with the beef slices, which were pretty thinly cut and soft - except that they were q fatty so depends on your preference for meat. The sauce here was also much less compared to the Unatama don so it might be drier at some parts.
