Local delights 🍲

Stumbled upon Market Bistro and it's such a gem tucked away in the heart of the CBD— right in Marina Bay Financial Centre, so it's super convenient. The space itself is lovely and peaceful, a rare find in such a busy area!
The staff were incredibly attentive, and gave great recommendations. We had the baby squid fritters to share-light, crispy, and clearly not the frozen kind. The seafood bisque pasta was rich and flavourful with bits of lobster that made each bite feel indulgent. We also had their popular ribeye steak which was juicy and tender, paired with generous sides of salad and fries.
We were so full, but couldn't resist ending off with the tiramisu, and we're glad we didn't skip it! Light, fluffy sponge with a bold coffee kick made it the best decadent dessert I've had in awhile.
Overall, I would highly recommend Market Bistro for anyone looking for a dinner spot that serves delicious food, great service, and solid value for money.

I was really excited to try the Michelin star prawn noodles at Zhup Zhup, and I think it lived up to the hype! Their signature Claypot Prawn Noodles came with succulent prawns served in a bubbling claypot of rich, umami-packed broth. The noodles were served in another bowl of soup with generous portion of vegetables. Overall, the dish may look simple, but the flavours were robust and complemented each other so well. I also ordered the Ngo Hiang Platter ($8++), which was comforting, crispy, and paired really well with their dipping sauces. Price is on the steeper side, but I think it's pretty justifiable for the taste and portions. Overall, it was a satisfying meal especially for someone who loves prawn noodles 🙂
