An almost inconspicuous restaurant located in the basement level of Raffles Xchange, Wheat Baumkuchen (or simply WHEAT) gives the ever-demanding CBD lunch crowd a customisable, affordable and healthy food option to perk up the rest of their day in the immutably obsolete 40-hour work week that started as a result of the United States Congress getting in bed with the Fair Labor Standards Act on October 24, 1940. With Burpple Beyond, I decided to get their Beef Foie Gras Bowl ($18.90) with the option of their Bhutanese red rice instead of jasmine rice, which has a nuttier and almost starchier flavour than its white rice counterpart. The beef was unfortunately served at a doneness that I have stood against since the dawn of time: Well Done. There was also a sizeable portion of foie gras, which in my opinion could’ve been cooked a little more than it was, served alongside some greens, kimchi and a poached egg.

This place is located just a minute walking distance from Raffles Place mrt. Decided to give it a try since I pass by this restaurant almost everyday.

For just $21++, you got 2 same set with ice lemon tea under Beyond 1 for 1 deal. Not bad overall. The place is a bit crowded during lunch hour, you may either visit them before 12pm or after 1.30pm to avoid the crowds.

There are days when you need a meal with an oomph to perk you up and I highly recommend you file this meal for such days. It’s both indulgent and wholesome at the same time with #treatyoself ingredients like beef and beautifully seared foie gras, but also good-for-you kimchi and Bhutan red rice.

And the best part? You can get this 1-for-1 with #BurppleBeyond!

Got 2 sets of the rice bowl with ice lemon tea at a ridiculously good deal at $21 with Burpple Beyond!! Love how this app is not only taking me to many wonderful places but also opening up my options to more types of food. I’ve always been a great fan of wheat and most of the item i gravitate towards the poke soba, the grilled salmon or the teriyaki chicken as my protein. The outlet at marina one has grilled pork belly! 😋 This is my first time trying the beef here and I honestly wouldn’t have if not for this deal! This outlet is also worth checking out for their daily deals!

I’m really glad I did because this bowl is truly satisfying with juicy tender thick slices of beef and that chunky melt in mouth foie gras with a crisp edge from skillfully achieved sear, all this goodness on the nori seasoned rice (I changed my base to the red rice, salad option available too). Will definitely be back again for this!

Beef with a thick slab of foie gras - satisfying....
