NEWLY OPENED

Delectable sio bak and char siew ($9.90 for the medium bowl), albeit on the pricier side. They use Chestnut pork for their roast pork and you can really tell from the slight sweetness and complete lack of “porky” smell. It just tasted very clean! I wouldn't say the meat is particularly tender, but the skin is really crispy (a MUST for sio bak)

As for their Iberico char siew, I really enjoyed the fat to meat ratio and the flavour of the seasoning. I thought it could be a little more tender as well, but this is definitely above average.

Got some side dishes but they were just alright, can skip.

Overall, I don't think they're the best in Sg (Roast 88 is my go to), but I really appreciate them using more "atas" pork and it really shows in the final product (and price😅)

The Mamushi Donburi ($18.80) is served with Japanese yam, mentaiko, kinshi eggs and onsen egg - the flavours complement each other well, and the Japanese yam makes an interesting addition because of its sticky texture.

These look like Swiss rolls but are actually Ah Mah Homemade Cake’s latest innovation, the blanket castella roll. The rolls stand out for their extra fluffy cake base since they’re actually castella cakes, and you can customise them based on your preference of the cake base (chocolate, pandan or sesame) and spreads (chocolate, cream cheese, kaya, or strawberry).

Satisfying bowl for when you’re tryna eat clean but still want to indulge - it’s not exactly the healthiest but it’s a healthier option because of the grilled chicken and lettuce. The crunchy slaw is also pretty refreshing and adds a great texture to the bowl.

This is kind of a healthier option burger because the chicken is grilled and fresh (not frozen), so I feel like the price point is really good and this is really affordable. I’m really bad at spicy food but the chilli marinade of this chicken patty took me by surprise cause it was so good!! If you like the gingery garlicky chicken rice chilli type of sauce, this sauce would hit all the right notes for you.

Portuguese flame-grilled chicken chain Oporto has just opened its first outlet in Singapore. While Oporto is a chain restaurant serving affordable burgers and chicken, they don’t compromise on quality, using only fresh instead of frozen chicken, and grilling instead of frying - the result is a tender, well-seasoned chicken that won’t break the calorie bank. Make sure to try their Original Chilli Sauce, which was somewhat reminiscent of a heartier version of the chicken rice chilli sauce, as it was their claim to fame in Australia.

Jumping on the Unagi bandwagon!! This Unagi restaurant actually originated from Japan, where they have 20 outlets, one of which has earned a place in the Bib Gourmand 2018 Michelin guide.
The Unagi is really tender and flavourful, probably because their method of cooking it is pretty unique: they steam and charcoal grill the fresh eel multiple times so that it retains its tenderness. At this price point, I would foresee the crowds flocking here
