Guiding you to good food & best restaurants in Singapore

Had a bite at @nipponbite Crispy Chicken Katsu Onigiri, which intrigued me with its peanut butter sauce, the only item on the menu featuring this option. It was an interesting combination of ingredients. The onigiri is neatly wrapped with pearl rice, chicken luncheon meat, fluffy tamagoyaki, crispy chicken katsu, and peanut butter sauce, all within a large piece of seaweed.

The chicken katsu was thicc, juicc, and crispy, with a clean-tasting greasiness. The egg had a fluffy texture but was plain in flavour, adding some sweetness or savouriness would have improved it. The chicken luncheon meat was sharply savoury, but the thin cut felt lacking. A thicker slice would have made the bite more tastisfying. The peanut butter sauce was overflowing, just look at the amount of it. The nutty sauce leaned toward smooth and creamy rather than chunky.

Eating it all together, I expected the chicken luncheon meat to overpower the other ingredients, as it is usually quite salty. However, the tender chicken katsu and strong nutty peanut butter took center stage, overshadowing the egg and luncheon meat. Nonetheless, it was pretty yummy, though I made a mess eating it.

Set consists of onigiri, one side, and one drink. I used GrabPay for 15% off, bringing the total to $9.26.

When talking about onigiri, most would think of the typical triangular rice ball wrapped in seaweed, commonly seen in mainland Japan. That is not wrong, but in Okinawa, onigiri is sandwich-style. Influenced by Western elements while staying true to its Asian roots, it is wrapped in large seaweed encasing rice, SPAM luncheon meat, and tamago.

For the side, I had the choice of fries or croquette and went with the latter. The creamy croquette was crispy on the outside and piping hot inside. I expected the filling to be flowy, but as seen in the pictures, there was no oozing or melting, rather it resembled deep-fried mashed potato instead. At least the sweetness of corn came through.

For drinks, I chose Honey Lemon because it is sweet, refreshing, and zesty, making it the next best drink resembling Okinawan shikuwasa juice.

Take me back to Okinawa please~

Had dinner at Gu Zao Ren & Taiwan Porridge and really enjoyed the meal. The sweet potato porridge was perfect for the rainy weather—warm, soft, and comforting. It was so good I ended up having two bowls. It really felt like the kind of food that warms both your heart and soul. We also had kang kong stir-fried with belacan, which was super fragrant and packed a nice spicy kick. The black pepper deer meat was delicious—tender and full of flavour. The salted egg prawns were creamy and rich, with just the right balance of savoury and sweet. We also tried the frog legs with ginger and spring onion, which were surprisingly tender and paired well with the porridge. Overall, it was a satisfying and homely meal. Would definitely come back again for dinner or supper!!!

Went with my partner on a lovely weekday evening. Was looking around for a restaurant to satisfy my steak cravings.

Restaurant had a lovely ambience with dark settings

The Chicharones were super crispy and good. Not too oily despite the crunchiness. Next, we had the Broccolini, Lamb Rack and Ribeye. Boy, we were amazed with the portion of the meats. The lamb racks and Ribeyes were so well seasoned, and the meat was so tender.

If yall read my past reviews, yall will know that I am a lover of Ribeyes and Steak. I must say this is one of the best Ribeyes I ever had.

We ended the meal with the Pavlova Flotante, lovely dessert bursting with fruit flavours. Pavlova was decently sweet too.

Would totally return back in near future. Absolutely adore it.

We had a great dinner at Gu Zao Ren Taiwan Porridge! The sweet potato porridge was warm and comforting, while the fried kang kong belacan added a spicy kick. The frog leg with ginger and spring onion was tender, and the black pepper deer meat was bold and savory. The salted egg prawn was rich and creamy. Overall, the service was good, and the portions were generous - we'd definitely recommend it!

i had the lunch set at $58 per pax, and it was so delicious! the ambiance is fire and it is perfect for a date. my partner and i decided to order both lunch options so we could share, and we were not disappointed! the smoked hungarian duck leg was fall of the bone tender, which was a delightful surprise. and even the dessert was impressive, not overly sweet and just right, especially when paired with the coconut foam, which is something unique to ingleside as we have not seen it elsewhere. overall, it is a great lunch experience at ingleside! will definitely come back again!

The bone marrow was rich and flavourful, and the washugyu usda super prime ribeye was perfectly done and seasoned, along with a decadent mac and cheese. Topped off with a fresh tiramisu that was light and so satisfying!

Had an incredible meal at Ingleside (Tras Street) — every item hit the mark. The miso butter sourdough was rich, savoury, and addictive, with perfectly chewy bread and umami-packed butter. The fermented lemon ginger drink was a refreshing, tangy palate cleanser that felt like a light kombucha. Both the dry-aged steak and dry-aged Iberico pork were standouts — deeply flavourful, tender, and expertly cooked, with the pork being surprisingly rich and juicy. Subtle, well-executed dishes that show serious technique without trying too hard.

Incredibly well balanced. Every component pairs really well with each other

Very generous and yummy side dishes - thank you! Enjoyed every one of them!
