Opened by the guys behind Grub, Fix and Grub Noodle Bar, the new restaurant at HomeTeamNS-JOM Balestier serves a variety of grilled skewers and delicious mains. I am honoured to be photographing their food before the launch and also had a taste of some of the items.
They have a range of grilled prawn, chicken, lamb and mushroom skewers. Surprisingly, I really love the vegetarian Primavera Pasta, featuring tagliatelle tossed in pesto cream, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, arugula, mushroom and feta. The homemade lasagne, hokkaido scallops quinoa and roast chicken are great too. They also have a wide range of homemade drinks, my favourites include lychee earl grey; ginger and lime; pineapple and passionfruit.
Congratulations to Mervyn, Amanda, Dexter & Kelvin. I am really happy for all of you! #FixGrillSG
$40 per whole duck. The roast pork was very good too! It is easy to miss this humble corner stall, more so with 老三 kway chap in the same coffee shop. My uncle(from Hongkong) recommended this to me, I knew his tastebuds can be trusted. Indeed a hidden gem! #jiakhiddengems #jiaklocal #fatfatmeatseries .

Certified by my dad (old HK foodie) and @eileenongxt. Even though they had been there for so many years, they still remained a very low profit. A true hidden gem!! 💎💎💎

Have been dying to try this since I heard about it. Finally was in CBD area on a weekday afternoon! Wanton mee noodles topped with wanton, potato wrapped shrimp,ramen egg and fatty pork... I usually don't like fried shallots, but they did it pretty well. The wanton mee is al dente, wanton has a whole fresh prawn, potato wrapped shrimp was crispy, ramen egg was sweet and fatty pork was tasty! Even the soup is good, instead of just normal minced pork, it was like a braised pork soup. 👍
It's gorgeous, and it instantly puts a smile on one's face. More than Instagram-worthy, it's pretty darn good too.
The thick, almost brioche-like hotcake is dense, albeit dry, rescued by maple, and a generous handful of fresh berries that lend a touch of sweetness and acidity—strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry... peppered with pine nuts (yay!), littered with edible flowers and drizzled with maple syrup.
We especially love the warm, crisp edges of the pancake; beautiful in texture and taste. A scoop of ricotta cream cheese tops the hotcake, smeared across like icing on a cake. Are you drooling already?
I was compelled to post this straight after my meal, that's how good it was. Situated in the unlikeliest of places, in Vivocity's Food Republic, this is not your average Japanese foodcourt stall. The first promising sign is the ever present smattering of Japanese salarymen patiently queuing for their food. The second, the Japanese cooks behind the counter. Oh, did I also mention they grill their meat over a charcoal fire? I had the salmon and tuna kaisen don (the egg was extra) which featured a bowl of quality Japanese rice overflowing with large chunks of fresh sashimi lightly coated in soy sauce, sesame oil and sesame seeds. Beautiful. A veritable steal at only $9.80 and apparently limited to only 10 bowls a day.
I was on my way to another cafe in the area but look what I found! Nice place to work as well with free wifi.
Finally open again after moving from Lavender Food Centre! Still as good as before :)
THIS. IS. DA. BOMB. Its crisp exterior glazed with homemade dehydrated blueberry sugar belies its thick, cushiony texture inside that veers toward an actual cake. Its plush crumb, studded and stained with blueberries and their juice, is moist and somehow manages to be dense yet fluffy simultaneously.
Seeing the generous litter of fresh berries and pine nuts across the top of the hotcake made me very, very happy – I love pine nuts. And to cap it all off, that scoop of ricotta, mascarpone and cream cheese is just gorgeous when smeared on the hotcake.
