(1/4) Ordered combo for 2 ($124), it comes with this 1.5lb (600g) grilled lobster. Lobster meat was hard (not juicy) as it’s grilled but the charcoal grilled smell was amazing on the lobster. Verdict: 8/10
(3/3) Went to Wildseed Cafe on a Sat night & it was packed. Ordered Wagyu burger ($28) medium. Bun was crispy on the outside with a couple of grains. Beef was a thick patty which I felt could be softer for a wagyu patty. Big portion of curly fries. Verdict: 7.5/10.
Ordered fried calamari ($15) too. It was big and the siting chewy with a lemony sauce. Isn’t the nicest calamari I’ve tasted. Verdict: 6/10.
The cafe has no aircon and it was extremely hot even at night. As it was packed, service was pretty slow. I almost cancelled this burger as it took the longest time to cook. Honestly the only great thing about the ambience is the insta worthy lights & dome structures at the back. Otherwise, I’d say no to dining in a dimly lit place under humid weather.
Spent $117.70 including svc charge & gst. Don’t think it’s worth the amount I paid.
Verdict: Would not be back again
(2/3) Went to Wildseed Cafe on a Sat night & it was packed. Ordered Wagyu linguine ($25). Sauce was rather tasty but it’s like any other beef bolognese with a fancy name. Verdict: 8/10
Went on a Sat night & it was packed. Ordered Onglet Steak ($32) medium in butter sauce. Steak was hard & not v appetising. Baked potato w sauce was good. Was shocked to see steak served with kailan (a Chinese veg lol). Verdict: 6.5/10
Went on a Thursday night. Whole restaurant was empty.
Used Burpple 1-for-1:
• 2 Pork Rib Set, small appetiser and drink $11.90 - soup was more peppery. Would be great if it’s more herbal too. 7/10
• Chicken in a pot $8.90 - chicken was saltish, could taste better 7/10
• Fried dough sticks $2 - could be crispier 7/10
• 2 Rice $2
Total bill:$29 (after tax)
Feels like we’ve tried better Bak Kut teh elsewhere. Service was average. 1-for-1 is pretty worth it, otherwise we will probably not return.
Went to Saboten on a Saturday night at 7pm and there was a queue outside of the store. We waited half an hour before we were let in. It was our first time patronising the restaurant and we didn’t expect it to be so popular
We ordered 3 sets:
• Loin Katsu Gozen (Large) 150gm $25.50
• Cheese Tenderloin & Loin Latsu Gozen $27.50 (pictured)
• Nigiwai Tenderloin Katsu Gozen $29 - comes with 2 small appetisers: we chose Agedashi Tofu & Ebi Karaage (pictured)
• Chicken Karaage $5 - not nice 5/10
We love the Nigiwai Tenderloin Katsu Gozen more than the signature Loin Katsu Gozen because it was so much more tender & it melts in your mouth. We also love the mini ebi karaage which was very tasty & yummy.
Each set comes with rice, miso soup, chawanmushi, cabbage & desert (matcha icecream). Free refil for rice, miso soup & cabbage.
Total bill: $100
We ordered 3 sets for 4 person because we are not big eaters & we were super full from the meal. Meat tastes good, batter was flavourful, much better than Ginza Anzu @ Great World City which serves similar food. I will return again provided I’m celebrating an occasion as it is very pricy.
Went to Doughnut Shack at Whampoa on a Sunday afternoon. Drove there but took awhile to find the place as it’s a little deep in & we were trying the find the way in. Honestly not very accessible for people to go.
There were a few people queuing in front of me outside of the shop as the shop only let one person (or one grp) in at one time. Waited for at least 20mins in the heat before I could enter the shop.
Bought all flavours of bombolinis to try because I’ve never tried bombolinis before. The more you buy, the cheaper it is, so we bought 10. Each costs $2.80 so we paid $28.
Flavours bought:
• Creme bulee 7/10
• Banofee Cream 7.5/10
• Donutello 8/10
• Azuki Kinako Cream 7/10
• Pistachio 8/10
• Dulce De Leche Cheesecake 7.5/10
• Peanut butter jelly 7.5/10
• Strawberry milk ganache 8/10
• Summer berries chocolate donut 8/10
The flavoured fillings were a lot inside but the dough of the donut wasn’t very tender, like when you bite into it, it’s not very soft and chewy, it’s a little hard. Perhaps I’ve tried better doughnuts such as Krispy Kreme’s and am comparing to their donuts which are really soft and chewy. Definitely prefer Krispy Kreme’s donuts given that it’s the same price. I will not go back to buy it, for the taste & for queuing in the heat.
Celebrated my grandpa’s 81st birthday at Peach Garden Hotel Miramar. Went on a Thursday night after they reopened and there were a few tables table seated already when I arrived.
Used Eatigo’s 50% for these dishes:
• Fried Carrot Cake with XO Chilli Sauce ($13.91) - Really good carrot cake 8.5/10
• Deep-fried Honshimeiji Mushroom with Wasabi Sauce ($13) - pretty unique dish. The more I ate it, the more I liked the wasabi sauce. 8.5/10
• Roasted Crispy Duck (half) ($40) - Really good crispy duck, fam loved the skin & this dish was wiped out 9/10
• Stir-fried Venison with Spring Onion and Black Pepper Sauce in Pineapple - Pretty good dish, taste was 9/10, presentation was 10/10 ($34)
• Prawn with vermicelli - Super yummy! Love the vermicelli soaked in the broth & the prawns were huge 10/10 ($35)
• Seafood claypot tofu - large prawns, typical claypot seafood tofu 8/10 ($32)
Others (don’t have 50%)
• Shou tou - skin wasn’t very soft and was quite thick 6/10
• Drinks
Total bill paid after discount: $120 (including taxes)
Overall, was a hearty meal with good ambience, good food & not too bad service, will return again with the 50% as the dishes are very pricy.
Located at Takashimaya food basement. Went on a Saturday night, there was a long queue after 7pm as seats were limited.
Ordered:
• Breaded fish fillet tomato cream $12.80 - 7/10
• Salmon Thai Tomato Ragu $13.20 - 7/10
• Chicken schnitzel with tomato spaghetti $13.20 - 7/10
• Dessert set top-up $4.80 - comes with a drink and a slice of cake. We ordered chocolate cake but it wasn’t that great as it was hard 6/10
Price was very reasonable but the tastes of the pasta were not that fantastic. Meats were still okay. I would go there if I’m on a budget in town.
Went to Hard Rock Cafe last Sunday. Used 2 Burpple Beyond 1-for-1 for 4 mains:
1. 2 Baby Back Ribs $41.95 - one of the tastiest ribs I’ve had ever & meat was succulent! 10/10
2. Cowboy Ribeye (Medium) $55.95 - meat wasn’t very tender and there were some fats on that piece 7/10
3. Double Decker Double Cheeseburger $39.95 - awesome beef patties that are made of good grade beef, quite unlike other burgers I’ve had 10/10
Total bill paid: $115
Total savings from Burpple beyond: $84
Sunday night was pretty full. Good to make reservation in advance. Live band section is closed due to covid. Service was a little slow. Overall, awesome food, will return again!
Used 2 Burpple 1-for-1 for 4 main course.
• Ribs with sweet potato fries ($25 + $1 fries upgrade) - quite tender but Hard Rock’s nicer 8/10
• Beef cheeks ($25) - beef was very tender, mash potato is nice, sauce can be more flavoured 8/10
• Squid ink linguine ($24) - very flavourful, large portion of noodles & lots of sotong slices. Quite unlike other squid ink pastas I’ve tried elsewhere as this has tomato slices, garlic, tastes abit like vongole 9/10
• mushroom risotto ($24) - least worth $$. Not only is it vegetarian, it’s also not flavourful 3/10
• truffle fries ($14) - large portion but Ps Cafe’s nicer 7/10
• mango smoothie ($9)
Went on a Friday night. Lucky we got a table because we went at 6.30pm. After 7pm, there’s a long queue outside and restaurant is full house. Need to make reservation in advance.
Do also note that 10% service charge is levied on all dishes, including 1-for-1 dishes so you will be paying 10% service charge based on total bill (written in T&C).
Total bill: $143.59
Total savings from 1-for-1: $48 + $3.36GST
I paid: $92.23
Honestly, I think I will go back to try their pastas with the 1-for-1 deal as their pastas look delicious. Not going back for their main dishes as other restaurants serve better mains. This restaurant is also pretty pricy so I will probably not patron them without the 1-for-1.
