Auki Matcha Fujiro It's my favourite swiss roll 👁👄👁🤌 I decided to try Auzki Matcha Fujiro ($7.80) without takeaway and I always enjoy dessert so much 💕 thank you uncle for accompanying me to talk with me even thought its just small talk 😅 I really like matcha cream was not that thick but I just accept it 👍 red bean is not thick and a bit of it is enough for non-red bean lovers till nxt time for more & more swiss roll.

Swiss Rolls Finally tried @sweetscraftsman's swiss rolls that looked cute and were yummy too! We enjoyed how they were light and fluffy in texture and how they were not too sweet too! My favourite flavours are Tieguanyin, black sesame and yuzu 😋

Decent japanese food at reasonable price Ordered the pork tonkotsu with curry as well as curry noodle, the food was decent! The restaurant was very narrow though - a bigger space for dine in is available upstairs. Service wasn't the greatest, but definitely value for money.

Visit For Angus Beef In Your Noodles + Tempura You Can’t Stop Poppin’ [ Food Review — Menu Update ] It’s been quite a while since we were last at Gaijin, oops. I’m not big on going to KAP mall because of the type of crowd the place attracts (and the mozzies + cig smoke doesn’t help matters either), and with numerous alternatives in the area, I’d completely forgotten about Gaijin until recently! Turns out a few things have changed: Instead of operating two menus that you can cross-order from regardless of where you’re seated, they’ve removed their sushi menu (side across the cashier). I’m a tad disappointed because I prefer that selection, but I can’t and won’t fault a business for streamlining operations if it improves their quality and longevity! Because it was a pretty long day and both of us were feeling pretty under the weather anyway, we chose to get richer and heartier dishes. Niku udon for me, tempura curry rice for him, and ebi tempura to share. While I know many of Gaijin’s patrons prefer their ramen, I’m all about their udon! Partly because there are no other udon options nearby, but also because it’s genuinely enjoyable. The noodles are honestly not the best I’ve had — not bouncy nor stretchy enough for my liking — but are totally fine when slurped with dashi and niku. The dashi was mild yet fragrant, with obvious kombu notes, which created a mellow, stable base for the true highlight of the dish: the beef. You don’t just get any beef here — each bowl is crowned with USDA angus beef slices; lightly blanched to doneness whilst retaining its knitted texture. (If you’re hungry, I’d suggest adding on more beef via their “the works” option cause the beef’s worth it!) A certain someone’s curry fared well too, with him inhaling most of it minutes after it arrived. The curry’s not too thick and on the lighter side; while that may be a turn off to some, it is especially well-suited, and thus easy, to eat with the rice. And of course, Gaijin knocked their tempura out of the park again. I think they’re still the only place I eat tempura at, and I don’t think that’ll change soon! Craggy batter that’s airy and non-oily, king prawns that are bulbous and succulent, vegetables that are fresh and sweet — now that’s happiness in a bite!

Tendon Places Are Just Japanese Chippy(s), Change My Mind @gaijinsoulfood is a Japanese nondescript Japanese restaurant deep within King Albert Park mall. Their menu is loaded with cooked Japanese staples such as ricebowls, Japanese curries, ramen and udon. It’s a standard Japanese restaurant, not much different than the myriad of other Japanese restaurants in Singapore, which is why their signature Gaijin Tendon was a pleasant surprise.⠀ ⠀ For $14.98 before GST, this was a tremendous tempura bowl. A chicken fillet, a thick slice of squid, a ponderous prawn, and some assorted vegetables were all coated in a crispy batter that threaded the fine line between thicc & too thick quite well. It was a little greasy though, but not revoltingly so, and I didn’t have much trouble polishing this bowl of fried felicitousness off.⠀ ⠀ At fifteen bucks, this unassuming Japanese eatery has bested several tempura specialists that would’ve burnt your wallet to the tune of twenty to thirty bucks. Sometimes the gems aren’t hidden, you just gotta stop acting like a gaijin & explore what’s right in front of you.

Burrple Deal : Macaron With Coffee Love the ambience, staff service is good too. Coffee (latte and iced black) are good!

Ham & Cheese Croissant 💼Service review: Super friendly and chill staffs and turnover service is quite fast! 🥐Food review: Food here is cheap, delicious AND filling! Best three combi I could ever ask for😍 Would come back again for the popular 1-for-1 Burpple deal for macarons!💜 ✨Ham & Cheese Croissant✨ Honestly, this was such a delight as a breakfast dish. The croissant was soft, flaky and buttery, which matches the chewy melted cheese very well! Although this dish sounds very simple, there was nothing bad about this dish. I just wished they gave me more of that lemon tarragon dressing🥺 The portion was not too heavy but will keep you full till your next mealtime! 💰: $15 📈: 9/10

Organic Eggs Benedict ✨Organic Eggs Benedict✨ One of the best hollandaise sauce I’ve ever had. It has the right amount of butter, egg and lemon, which makes it flavourful and not too watery. The ham and sourdough tasted good as well, but it did not stand out. Would like if they add a special ingredient that makes them different from other cafes💗 The portion does look small, but it was enough to fill the belly🐷 💰: $18 📈: 8/10

Price increased 45% :(( This was my favourite Korean bbq place. At the end of last year in 2021, it used to cost $19.9+ for weekday lunch & it was so affordable & the food was great as well! Over time, the price increase to $22.9+ in around early 2022. That was still alright and I continued visiting regularly. However, today (Sep 2022), when I visited, still a weekday lunch (fri), I was shocked to see that the price increased to $28.9+! inflation is urgh Honestly it’s such a pity, at this price point, they are competing with so many other chains and I can’t brand them as affordable anymore… I’m not sure if maybe Mon-Thurs lunch is still $22.9 and they changed Friday to not be counted as a weekday anymore but I’m just disapointed haiz :( The food is still great, would recommend, but personally will not visit & would rather now go try other places at this price point…

Bad experience 03iune 2022 Had a personal very bad experience with this restaurant. Having made a reservation a day prior and went down early 10mins to the restaurant. Was met with the restaurant's staff and we told her we made a reservation at 5pm. Was thinking she would usher us to a reserved table but No. We were place next to 3 customers in less than half a metre. BTW there are only One table with customers. They had 90% of empty tables, with some reservation sign spotted. We made a request to sit another table but was rejected also. She told us is ok to sit nearly conjoined. I then shift the table to make some space for us as one of the customer beside us needed to leave his seat. She came back and asked us to pushed the table back nearly to conjoined again. I reasoned that we are too close but she wouldn't budge.

Maru KBBQ Went to Maru and tried their unlimited KBBQ option ($24.90 for weekends per pax)! They also have mains that are ala carte that looks pretty good😋 KBBQ was decent, with a wide option of items being marinated/non marinated! There is not much Seafood options (sorry to seafood lovers🤧) but its an affordable pricing hence understable😅 Overall ratings are a 7/10 and would visit again if I feel like eating kbbq🤣

Fried Chicken Paradise? All Bout Chicken was feted as one of top 3 fried chicken in Singapore by a food vlogger. I finally got down to checking them out earlier this year. It was not hard to understand why as the batter is shattering crisp without being brittle and the meat was juicy and tender. This remained the case even though it was sitting in the car for nearly 30 minutes on the ride back home. I also love that their chicken is made to order and served piping hot. My only complaint is that the chicken needs a little more seasoning. I know there are some who prefer the natural subtly sweet flavours of chicken meat but I am one of those who prefer a well seasoned fried chicken. Yes, there is quite a wait for their fried chicken but it was definitely worth it. The wait is also made more bearable since the uncle helming the stall is chatty and friendly. So do come down and check out all bout chicken!

Chicken Mac Spicy No, this ain’t the Chicken McSpicy we all know and love, but it’s All Bout Chicken’s very cheekily named spicy Mac and cheese with minced chicken going at $4.90 a serving. It is surprisingly pale in color, I was definitely expecting something more red and...violent, considering its touting as a spicy Mac and cheese rendition. The crumbly bits adorning the top is the spicy minced chicken. The Mac and cheese itself is surprisingly light. The béchamel sauce slathered upon every elbow of macaroni was not too dense, yet retained more than enough creaminess to satisfy any Mac & cheese aficionado out there. The minced chicken was unfortunately underwhelming, as it was a bit bland and wasn’t really all that spicy despite me ordering the ‘regular spice’ after a quick exchange with the chef/stall owner. Overall, while the Chicken Mac Spicy was passable, it could’ve been a lot better and had a lot more spice and flavor. Better yet, they could’ve smothered it all under a blanket of cheese, pop it into the grill and turn it into a Mac & cheese bake. However, what really saved the entire dish was the most unlikely of things: the garlic bread on the side. On paper, it’s just some panini with garlic butter on it. However, in reality, the panini was perfectly toasted, and it was more than amply coated with the impossibly garlicky butter. Addictive to the nth degree. The Chicken Mac Spicy has a long way to go for improvement, but the garlic bread on the side is positively perfect. The whole shebang is best enjoyed with satay and bbq chicken wings from any of the nearby stalls, beer from the drinks stall at the end of the row, and the boys.

[Invited Tasting] Two’s a Company ($7.20), Chicken Mack Spicy ($4.90) & RJ Original Pizzawich ($4.90) One of Chomp Chomp’s latest entrants, @allboutchicken.co is a Muslim owned fried chicken concept and are opened from 12pm - 12am during the CNY break as well as 4-11pm in most days. We had some of their recommended dishes and thought that they were pretty good. The Chicken Mack Spicy, an interesting fashion of local and western cuisine results in a Mac and Cheese that is topped with spicy minced chicken. My favourite though, is the RJ Original Pizzawich. A combination between pizza and sandwich, it has spicy minced chicken sitting on a bed of egg mayonnaise base topped with cheese, onions and jalapeño. The flavours came together nicely and wasn’t too overwhelming, must-try if you find yourself here ◡̈

Pasta rebus and regular options Pasta rebus is 5.70+ (pleasant, though tweaked) on national day for the first 57 orders. I was the 17th order at 1.30 pm so there should be ample for you if the other cafe queue is unbearable. Almond croissant (4.7+) was good but I haven't had many others. Chicken burger is fine, eggs royale and latte (very foamy!) slightly better, asparagus mushroom pasta unspectacular. Only four tables inside, but there's fans al fresco. Would come back for weekday sets. Only gst charged, consider tipping.

The Queen Eggs Benedict Instagramable food. Looks good. Egg was runny. But don't expect to be filling.

Crown Breakfast This highly recommended platter, most of the reviews here recommend having this platter. This platter also consist of its famous oxtail stew, which I felt was quite ok. Quite a hearty breakfast.

Eggs Benedict Started 2024 with a promise to wake up early for breakfast every Sundays/PB holidays. No more lunch time sunday wake ups for this guy here. And eggs benedicts was of coz the most Atas of all breakfast to reward myself for waking up at 6am on New Year's day. Extra reward for waking up when it's raining too. Choupinette is a french cafe that serves up some fantastic french pastries, but their most popular item here is their Eggs Benedict. Free Parking along Coronation Walk on Sundays & Public Holiday

Custard Chou Chou Basically an awesome Custard filled donut. They have a variety of French pastries here, and all look damn awesome. The chou chou is Sinful and a must have here at choupinette. Which are basically donuts.

3-Course Dinner \\ Escargot Clean, tender and juicy escargot cooked in garlic parsley butter then served warm. The garlicky sauce is almost as delicious as the escargot themselves! \\ Chicken Fricassee Pieces of chicken meat braised at low temperature with white cream sauce. Served with a side of potato gratin and salad. The chicken was breast meat hence they are a little tough in texture but the light and creamy sauce sort of compensates for the dryness. The rich and creamy potato gratin was good and I wished it came in a slightly bigger share. \\ Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream Warm and nutty chocolate brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This dessert fell short of expectations. The size of the brownie is quite small in comparison with the scoop of ice cream. The ice cream was icier and lacks a creamy texture. Thanks to Burpple Beyond, we get to enjoy 2 sets of $70 3-Course Dinner Menu for the price of 1 ✌

most value for money sticky bun ($2.50)! but would have been better if it was warm

Sticky Cinnamon Bun ($2.50) “Ugly Delicious” - ugly photo, of which I take full blame of but delicious sticky cinnamon bun. In fact this is (IMHO) the best cinnamon bun in Singapore because it’s simple (no cream cheese fan fare needed) yet so gratifying 🥹 Fresh soft white bun with just enough sticky cinnamon syrup ✨

Go-to breakfast place! Good sandwiches, breakfast plates and cinnamon buns.

Croque Monsieur ($5.50) The most affordable croque monsieur out there! Loved how they were so generous with the cheese and bechamel sauce, which was gooey after heating it up 😋this was very filling so if you have a small appetite, this is good for sharing.

Classic Tuna Croissant with fresh green lettuce, Japanese cucumber, Freshly chopped red onion and Homemade tuna mayo

Sourdough Loaf This wasn’t very sourdough-y at all (not tangy enough), and the crumb was pretty tight/dense. Had expected more, since it appears that they are a bread specialty shop. Might return to try their viennoiseries!

Brussel Sprouts ($10) With molasses and candied pecans. This couldn’t sound any tastier☺️ The sweet crunchy gems were so delicious with the sprouts which were evenly coated with the sweet-savoury sauce and perfectly pan seared. Kudos!!

Gnocchi ($25) With mushrooms and shaved parmigiano. We don’t normally get gnocchi pasta but wow we’re converts! These are perfectly pan fried with a crispy exterior yet a soft interior that’s almost cheesy. There’s nothing to complain about the dish and we absolutely loved it 💝

Tortiglioni ($25) Duck bolognese, parmigiana, red wine and fennel seeds. Thought we tasted star anise in it, might be the fennel seeds? It was really delicious. Some commented that it the sauce was more watery than desired, but it was not a problem for us! The staff there were also very warm and friendly😊
