Came by for a birthday celebration and because they were hacing a 9mpd promotion on Kris+. We started off with their Happy Hour and thoroughly enjoyed their $10 pints and $14 cocktails. For sides, would recommend everything that we got - the Brussel Sprouts ($15), Spicy Wings Level 2 ($17), and especially the Mac & Cheese ($15). Perfectly cooked and intensely cheesy, we ordered another mac n cheese as we could not get enough of it! As for mains, we preferred the "To Die For" Burger ($27) over the Baby Back Ribs ($36). Burger was juicy and delicious, while the ribs were pretty tough and the sweet-tangy sauce was uninspired. Although, we have to say that the fries - both potato and sweet potato - were so crisp yet thick, so so delicious! Service was quick and friendly, and they even gave a slice of chocolate cake for our birthday celebration. Recommend this place for a fun night out with a gorgeous view of Marina Bay!

It was a lovely experience, my group loved the place and the view is amazing. Apparently there's a Tues and Wed game event (8pm) where we can win a game to get a free drink 😆 That made for a fun break in the middle of dinner. Would love to come back!

Came by on Mother's Day and they were so kind to offer a complimentary stalk of flower and beancurd desserts to our table in celebration. To our surprise, they were also running a promotion of 20% off the menu, even for the set lunch menu! Really so generous!

Their set menus start from $29.90++, which comes with broth and meat of your choice, a more-than-decent vegetable platter, choice of noodles or rice, a drink, and access to their "market table", which has appetisers, sauces and condiments, fruits, and a dessert bar where you can make your own jelly dessert concoction! There're also premium meat options to top up $10 for which includes seafood, premium beef, etc as your choice of meat.

Overall, the meat and veges were fresh and high quality, broths were delicious and refillable (we loved the tomato and golden chicken broths), and we had such a blast eating! Ambience was cosy, the interior was aesthetic, and service was prompt and friendly. If we had to give a complaint, it was that our table for 4 was slightly too cramped, such that we frequently had to 'tetris' the golden cages that the meat and vege platters came in for them to fit on the table top.

Back again at Pawa Bakery! We enjoy their toasts and bagels, this time we tried their sourdoughs and different flavours of bagels.

Their bagels are low oil, low sugar, with a soft plush texture especially when eaten fresh from the oven! I’d recommend steaming/toasting them if you’re eating over the next few days. Purple sweet ptt was my fav, with the fragrant sweet ptt purée, I liked the cheese one too with soft mild milky cheese cubes. Pandan was aromatic but a bit thick/custardy, while the chocolate one had a cocoa cream cheese taste.

Liked the macadamia yogurt sourdough, filled with almonds, walnuts, dried fruit like berries, figs, raisins, as well as the honey nuts bar was stuffed with similar ingredients, was v nutty and nice to chomp on!

Had the Yunnan-style single hotpot lunch set and was pleasantly surprised! For $29.90, you get your own pot, a main, veggies, carbs and a drink. For an extra $10, you can upgrade to a premium meat or seafood option.
The free-flow Market Table was a highlight which includes DIY bingfen, tanghulu, dipping sauces and various side dishes.
I picked the black truffle mushroom broth, super fragrant and full of flavour. You can also choose a yuan yang pot if you prefer the best of both worlds.
The Signature Jasmine Flower Shrimp Paste is a must-try ! Bouncy texture with a lovely floral note.
Ended the meal with soft serve and a refreshing DIY bingfen.
Bonus: they also sell Yunnan flowers, which make a sweet takeaway gift!

A 4.9‑star spot at CHIJMES? Had to grab a friend and check out their lunch set—verdict: totally worth the hype. S$29.90++ or S$39.90++ per person, and you feel like you’re splurging in a luxe mall without wrecking your wallet.

Cosy and vibey Taiwanese bistro in the Boat Quay area. We started off with the Enoki Mushroom ($6.90) which was done perfectly - crunchy enoki in a deliciously crisp batter. For mains, the Shredded Chicken Rice ($8.50) was so addictive with the intense flavours of the fried shallots and a special fragrant oil. Add the TSK Chilli Sauce for a spicy kick! Washed everything down with the Four Season Pure Tea ($3.50) which was light and refreshing.

Service-wise, I dropped it down a star as when I pointed out that the chair had some stains on it, the server just looked at it but decided not to do anything about it which was strange.

Delicious hotpot spot at CHIJMES with great value lunch sets. Broths are simmered for 8 hours—rich, clean, and flavourful. Loved the mushroom variety flown in from Yunnan and the handmade noodles with no additives. Don’t miss the crispy mozzarella cheese ball and house drinks. Bonus: they sell fresh Yunnan flowers daily. A relaxing, quality lunch experience!
