Welcome to Tanjong Pagar.

The signature honey butter latte ($5.50) is equally delectable. Ask for less sweet - otherwise the sweetness tends to be a bit too overpowering. The espresso at Mad Roaster is noticeably well balanced with light hints of acidity and bitterness that can still be appreciated despite the honey butter flavoring. The honey butter flavour itself is delicious - very toasty and buttery. Reminds me of butter pecan. 5/5.

Slightly more expensive than other coffee stalls at $2.60 for teh o bing. But I feel it’s worth the additional expense. The teh o is fragrant with very slight acidity (doesn’t have the “siap” taste that is associated certain teh os). There is a hint of floral notes reminiscent of jasmine tea. Very pleasant even as a teh o kosong

($8.80) no wonder they pick their best selling dish beside mentaiko pasta. BUt it's really nice tbh and I find the sauce was too much and slightly overwhelming for me. The fried chicken was quite tender and favourful.

Pork Katsu Don

($8.80) I got to say this pork katsu is not that bad tbh but every piece for pork katsu was quite flavourful and a bit of hard texture. luckily we went early as pork katsu don was sold out by end of our meal already. Left chicken katsu.

($2.50) I decided to try their ice cream but it look quite icy :") and hmmm texture was quite thick, milky and creamy. But the taste otherwise is quite sweet and mild bitter.

We had the set lunch here, comprising a wood-grilled appetizer and main course. The beef ribs melted in your mouth. Even the dessert featured an innovative smoked ice-cream. A gastronomic experience.

Grilled Berkshire pork chop together with fig and marsala. Pork was decently executed in terms of char and texture, and the sauce had a thicker consistency that was more on the sweeter side. While the sauce did not align much to my taste profile, I thought that the pork was a bit on the gamier side as well - something I can accept for lamb, but not so much for my pork.

Maybe I didn’t choose the right dishes during my visit here, but there are glorious reviews on google about this place. That being said, Thirty9 being the sister branch of Mozzarella bar has extremely warm and friendly service - and for that I’d return and give their other dishes a try.

What you see is what you get. Honestly was a bit disappointed with this dish especially because it’s pricey and I expected more seafood flavours to it but I’ve only got myself to blame. The pasta was a simple tomato sauce with basil concoction, so nothing mind blowing one would expect. And I guess the hefty price tag comes because of that slab of lobster, which is indeed lobster. But we all also know that lobster is lobster that’s just a super expensive crayfish. Simple dish aside, I honestly thought that there were many other ways to match the taste of this pasta with the price, as the combination of tomato sauce pasta and lobster was both bland not the most complementary.

2nd time back at @teppei_japanese_restaurant for their Dinner Omakase ($100) and I'm glad to be impressed again! Their portions did seem like they reduced a bit, but their quality remains wonderful. We loved how there are a variety of different cooking methods, so that you won't get bored halfway through the course. Most if not all food items were fresh and well flavoured.

Top dishes got to be their Miyazaki Beef, Negitoro Roll with Uni and Unagi Don. The beef was so tender and rich, the uni was just fantastically fresh and so full of umami and the unagi was satisfyingly crispy on the outside!

Do not expect to be in a really posh environment, as the atmosphere here is similar to an izakaya bar. The chef does not really talk to you much except introducing the dishes as they were pretty much rushing around whipping up the different courses. That being said, the course does not seem rushed at all and I enjoyed all dishes at my own pace. Definitely worth a try, especially if you are new to the omakase scene!

Our chef Andy was very friendly and sharp in preparing our dishes. I enjoyed learning more about the dishes from him and watching him prepare our food.

Some of the dishes I liked were the striped jack with spring onion and the uni. I liked the freshness of the spring onion paired with the fresh umami flavour of the fish. The uni had a melt-in-the-mouth texture, which is always a delight.

The dishes were top-notch and the overall experience was very comfortable and peaceful. I would recommend anyone to dine here for a luxurious and gastronomic experience.

Chilli con carne chicken burger @ $15nett

This is easily one of the best burgers I've ever had. It was easy to cut through - the textures of the bun and chicken patty were really great. The chicken patty was nicely grilled and it was still tender and juicy. If I were to be picky, then it would be the flavour of chilli con carne didn't really come through, but it didn't take away the fact that the burger was still tasty.

Would be back again to try other burgers.
And maybe also the pizza stall which seemed popular. And the Thai food as the table next to ours was eating that and it smelt good.

Came after hearing good reviews from friends and this place did not disappoint! I had the 8 course set and I loved the variety of fish (they had seabass, tuna, uni, grouper and a few others), and also how pretty and inviting each sushi looked. But the taste!! The sushi is so tender and melts in your mouth. Amazing experience here! Thanks to Chef Andy who made the whole experience personalised and for kindly explaining each dish. Also impressed that they import all their fish from Japan.
