Kazoku Generous portions of sashimis Will definitely visit again Very worth it with the burpple deal

super recco!! have been wanting to try this place for a while now & finally went down to try today. was initially put off as it was a bar-type of place so i didn't know if it would really be good. however!!!! i was so pleasantly surprised. first the staff were so attentive & helpful! and the star of the night for real. this bowl was $29.90 & each type of sashimi had FIVE SLICES (as opposed to 3-4 from most places). the sashimi was tasty although defo not like omakase/jap restaurants type of level but rly rly enjoyable! they had tuna, salmon, swordfish, scallop, octopus and tamago. my only feedback is that the wasabi could have been less artificial. there was no ++ and after 1 for 1, we only paid $29.90 for TWO big bowls! 🙌🏻 ps: there's happy hour promos every single day w some days being soju night & housepour spirits night (1 for 1 too). had a look at their christmas cocktail menu which looked q yummy too! would defo be back to try their drinks on a non-weeknight 😉

Chicken don Exceptional value with burpple 1- for -1! Their dons leans slightly towards sweet tastebuds though. Good place to zone out with a drink

Great craft beers and tasty food Beers were great. Enjoyed the food and ambience as well. Staff were also friendly. Recommend.

Lunch! Food was great, portions are quite big so we took away half for dinner. Quite a relaxing atmosphere in the restaurant, didn’t have the opportunity to try the pizza but will definitely try it the next time I’m there!

CBD dinner! Tried the cheese pizza and salmon salad from The Yeast Side and really enjoyed both! The cheese pizza was comforting and satisfying — nicely baked with a good balance of cheese and crust. The salmon salad felt fresh and light, with well-matched flavours that made it a great pairing alongside the pizza. Overall, a pleasant meal and I’d be happy to come back again.

For 1-for-1 Pasta (save ~$19) Pop by this casual pub along Kallang Avenue for a round of after work drinks and pastas! Load up on some quality nosh at affordable prices like their Meatball Marinara ($19), Angler's Aglio Olio ($18) and their rendition of a local supper favourite — Pasta Goreng ($16). Think springy spaghetti simmered in a spicy curry ketchup and sauteed with copious amounts of chili padi, ikan bilis, lamb and chicken franks for that spicy kick! Pair it with their happy hour promotions for a perfect meal to wind down the work day.

Decent Cheese Katsu! Back at @onkei.tonkatsu to try their other tonkatsu variations and was satisfied with their Cheese Rosu-Katsu Set ($19.90)! The pork fillet was quite well fried till golden brown and it was stuffed full of cheese! The meat itself may be a little dry, but it is definitely meaty. The chicken is best paired with the tonkatsu sauce, which was pretty tangy to cut the rich fat flavour from the cheese and meat fillet. They offer free refills of rice, soup and cabbage, and I liked the soup the best due to its rich meaty and umami flavours. This may not be one of the best tonkatsu I've eaten, but it's definitely decent, filling and affordable. A great lunch option for the offices nearby!

Chicken Katsu and Tempura Chicken Katsu is soft and Tempura is crispy. Not too oily. Cabbage is crunchy.

Karage and Oyster Karage is very soft. Oyster is fresh

Second Visit In April 2022 Came with my family at the start of Apr 2022 and really enjoyed the Customer Service here! This time, I brought my partner along to celebrate our 1.5 years monthsary! Staff here really live up to the expectation of ex-SIA cabin crew

Superb Customer Service Staff was ultra friendly, polite and helpful throughout lunch! Lobster Bisque is a must add-on because it is very legit!

1-1 business course A 4+1 course meal at Lobster Air as we added on half dozen of oysters. Otherwise the original set consist of a soup, salad, main course, dessert and a coffee/tea. The half Boston lobster with pasta is at an exorbitant price of $68 with their aglio olio a tad too oily and nothing additionally spectacular about their lobster. For most of their other soup and desserts choices, it comes with a pretty hefty top up too whereby their top up price is what most of other restaurants are charging outside. We opted for the lobster bisque (+$15) and Dark chocolate lava cake (+$8). None of the dishes are exceptional with maybe lobster bisque making the mark, at least it’s not diluted and there’s the umami flavors. Even with Burpple 1-1, I don’t really find it worth it which kind of explains why we are probably the only table of diners there. It’s either restaurants are trying to marked up to offset such 1-1 discounts and yes your customers can do their math too, otherwise, paying for such a bill, there’s many other better restaurant options out there.

“Cacio & Pepe” & “Ham & Cheese” What a delicious mouthful, Chū and Co’s “Cacio & Pepe” ($9.50) had such a fun and tasty (tbh foolproof) combo - with slightly charred Japanese sweet corn, Camembert, Candied bacon and Pecorino cheese. The sweet-savoury toppings were truly the highlight for me but the dough acted as a great vessel as well. The base was relatively light, not all that dense or greasy. Felt pretty premium as I was surprised by the small edges of soft Camembert hidden under the strips of cured meat. I also got the “Ham & Cheese” ($9.50), crowned with sliced Sweet Potato, Honey Baked Ham and Brie de Meaux. Lacked that oomph for me but a great buy on a whole as well~

Coffee 💣! Coffee bombs are the best. Those friends who ate it love it 💪💪💪

Passion fruit kouign amann 7nett? PSA NO MORE moka kouign amann Passion fruit cream was pretty good, i havent had too many kouign amann, but this seems like a good rendition. The bite is not too much, it's very crispy outside, and theres a cake like texture as u chew, but very buttery so it gets jelat before you are done Not bad, can satisfying cravings. Thankfully the top wasnt too sticky, didnt really stick to our teeth

Prosciutto E Rucola I ordered this Prosciutto E Rucola (S$30.00) through the Oddle Eats platform, and this was one of the more satisfying takeaway pizzas to date. The dough was to my liking: airy and not too dense, with a good balance of crustiness to every bite. It was very nice of them to have packed the arugula and shaved parmigiana separately so that the greens remained raw when served. Apart from the parma ham, another important element was the sauce tub of chilli oil that accompanied the pizza. I’m sure many would agree that one tub was barely enough to go with the pizza, because it could make the already-delicious pizza even more mouth-watering.

Tonnareli Nero 28++ One of the best I've had as of 7/7/21. This tiny portion costs 28++ so savour it slowly but damn the sauce was so full of crab essence. Can only imagine the hours that went into it. Must try! We had pizza and bread so this portion worked for the two of us(anything larger and we wouldn't have finished). Cicheti serves restaurant quality Italian at restaurant prices but at such an ulu place. Their food is fortunately a cut above the rest though so the prices are kind of justified

Chili Oil Off menu. Request for it to go with your pizza. It was uh-mazing. I'm really glad the chili is real, there's quite some heat so it isn't just oil. There's a distinct Asian influence, almost sort of a mild funk to it but the edge is taken away since it's only an infusion. Good to enjoy by dipping the crust in, esp for monsters that usually throw the crust away

1 For 1 Tapas! Pulpo De La Casa (Grilled Octopus) was well grilled and chewy! Do take note the free tapas would have be below $15! Nonetheless, it was a hearty meal with Paella De Marisco!

Berenjena A La Manchego ($14++ U.P.), Pulpo De La Casa ($18/$36++ U.P.); On Burpplebeyond I actually thought repeatedly about the homemade coca bread with chorizos, I had when I was here with Mum, which made me very determined about a return visit. Was very glad that the other seafood tapas I’d introduce the rest of the family to for the first time were great Spanish tapas in our metropolitan little red dot. First was this bulbous stuffed squid that was well handled with some salivating chorizo bechamel; an absolute flavour party on the palate. The classic grilled octopus tapas was another well handled seafood with a generous large dash of white bean purée which I’d classify as for the acquired taste. While the eggplant “toast” was outshone by the other tapas, they were comfortingly oily; think straightforward thin slices of the purple fruit with savoury cheese melted atop. Another score with Burpplebeyond.

Coca De Probadura ($16++ U.P.); Calamares Rellenos Con Chorizo ($17++ U.P.)

THE SEAFOOD PAELLA - $72++ These are special sharing dishes ($32++ for 2-3 and $72++ if you have a table of 4-6). This can be your signature main. You could order a few starters and just a paella. Add a couple of additional mains only if needed. The dish is amazing and they claim is made of sustenable fish.

Amazing Food Every single dish taste amazing! Eggs were soft and fluffy, paella is flavourful, chicken was tender. Mix of flavours is complementary, ambience and service is great too, highly recommended!

Great Food, Amazing Service! The Burpple set was a variety of dishes that were fresh, delicious, filling and satisfying. Food was all cooked perfectly and served from the minute we sat down and ordered. We especially loved the pork jowl, the Spanish omelette, and the paella. The staff were super attentive. They would see us looking around and would approach us even before we called them over. Didn’t get to try their tapas but all the dishes left the kitchen looking delicious. We’ll definitely come back again to try more!
