[BUKIT MERAH, SINGAPORE] This is not your friendly BCM who says hi, this is a bowl that shouts FLAVOUR right in your face 😂
I believe No. 25 is no stranger to most people, but it's been on my list for some time and I'm glad to have tried it on one work day afternoon! Arriving at 1145am, the queue was about 45 mins and I got the Signature Minced Meat Noodle ($11.50 for medium size).
The noodles were just slightly springy, and very heavily seasoned with a savoury chilli sauce. This is very rich, very sinful but quite satisfying. If only the noodles were a little more al dente!
The soup itself was also very rich, full of umami but surprisingly not too salty. I can tell the ingredients were all quite premium, especially their fish dumplings. The liver was very well cooked, with the right soft and bouncy texture!
Personally, even for a person that enjoys heavy flavours, this might be abit too much for me. This is still a quality bowl of BCM, but I can imagine others liking this more!
All of the meat were so juicy and tender! The meat was cooked medium rare which melts in your mouth, just the way we wanted it. There was also a variety of sides which allowed us to enjoy our meat in different ways, good service and good atmosphere.
The House Feast was great overall, and every item in the set was high quality. Both types of short ribs were really tender, and the brisket was just as good. Between the meat, the soup, and the sides, there wasn't a weak link in the meal.
Vegetarian Set Lunch in Hathaway at Capital Tower 🥔
Main course was the Gado Gado Set 🥗 coupled with Nasi Ulam and Tempeh Orek 😋 For this, I missed out to ask them to remove the chives as well 😭 Anyways, the Tempeh Orek was amazing, with the fried tofu, fresh cucumber, and crunchy bean sprouts below the chilli ☺️
Love the cooked long beans and tempeh, the saltiness of this dish paired with the plain white rice is 😍
(did not get the Nasi Ulam as it contains Alliums)
This restaurant do have vegetarian options. You will need to list down what you can’t take to the staff to allow them to recommend you on what is suitable.
Conveniently located opposite Frasers Tower. Around 10-15 minutes walk from Telok Ayer MRT (DT18) or Tanjong Pagar MRT (EW15).
Recommended for vegetarians if you want to bring your business client for a good meal yet fulfilling your own dietary requirements 🔥
I ordered the hand-marinated ribeye cap (160g), marinated Duroc pork ribs (160g), and the soybean jjigae. The meats were incredibly soft, tender and full of flavour, with the marinades enhancing the natural richness of the cuts without overpowering them. The ribeye cap was especially juicy, while the pork ribs were well-balanced with a slightly savoury sweetness. The soybean jjigae was warm, comforting and very authentic, with a deep, savoury broth that paired perfectly with the grilled meats. Overall, the meal was delicious and very satisfying.
Had their Drown the Rice (Pao Fan) and it came with 3 plump prawns with their bodies deshelled. Broth was umami-packed, but not overwhelming. The generous amount of puffed rice and egg floss gave the whole dish a great texture. Would visit again!!
A delicious fusion of east meets west within Singapore. We got the set meal with seven courses, and it was absolutely worth it. The standout dishes were the Sambal Beans and Sichuan Peanuts Burrata, the Massive Prawns with burnt leek oil, and the Prawn Toast with classic aioli, each one a memorable highlight in its own way. The restaurant has a welcoming ambience with music that enhances the atmosphere while still allowing for easy conversation. Parking was convenient, and the overall experience felt thoughtfully put together, making it a place I’d definitely return to for both casual and special occasions.
The lunch sets comes with miso soup and drink. The seafood is very fresh. The portion is also just nice. There is a slight spice due to the mentaiko sauce. Note that the place only has bar seats since it is for customers to watch the chef prepare handrolls.
Visited Seng House for a weekday dinner and had a great experience. The restaurant has a cosy atmosphere, and service was warm and welcoming.
We decided to share two mains, drinks and a dessert. Surprisingly, we thoroughly enjoyed the linguine bolognese, a simple and unassuming dish with bold and tangy flavours that made it addictive.
The hojicha latte turned out to be another pleasant surprise, with deep earthy flavours that was nicely balanced without being overly sweet.
We finished the meal with banana cake served with coconut ice cream. The warm cake paired perfectly with the creamy yet not too rich ice cream, and was a great sweet treat to wrap up the meal.
Seng House was a wonderfully quaint place that made for a lovely evening with friends, and the food is well worth trying!
Good fusion of the new and traditional Singaporean flavours. We did the set menu, and it was really worth it!! Stand outs were the prawn toast, spicy octopus and grilled prawn. Good ambience, great for a date night or quiet family dinner!
