These are what youโd expect from a good croissant โ buttery, flakey and delicious, with the added bonus of sweet filling.
My favourite was definitely the ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ซ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐ข๐ง๐ง๐๐ฆ๐จ๐ง ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ญ; the same delicious flaky pastry encasing a vibrant, tart and barely sweet raspberry filling. The ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐๐ก๐ข๐จ version was also delicious, but sadly doesnโt taste much like pistachio. I really enjoyed it but I wish it had a stronger nutty flavour.
Although Iโm not a fan of lemon, the ๐๐๐ฆ๐จ๐ง ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ญ was surprisingly delightful, and not overwhelming in lemon flavour.
They are pretty small croissants at $8 for 2, but I think theyโre interesting, and tasty enough to be worth a try!

The generosity of Rotiโs fillings is definitely their strong point, with this ๐๐ฉ๐๐ง ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ง ($๐) serving as the perfect testament for that.
Despite the monstrous amount of filling, the black sesame wasnโt too overpowering, BUT I would owe that to the fact that itโs not very flavourful to begin with โน๏ธ Tbh, the black sesame flavour just isnโt very rich, taking a backseat to the buttery taste of the bun. The texture was also a bit sandy, even though it was a paste.
With that said, I would still say that this is a decent bun! I really love black sesame and for $1, yea, Iโd get it again!

This ๐๐ซ๐ก ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ง ($๐.๐๐) from Roti might be the best yam bun Iโve tried in SG, and a very decently priced one at that!
The quality of the yam paste is definitely its strong point, it tastes exactly like a good, pure orh nee packed into a soft and chewy bun. The filling isnโt the chunky type, but rather a completely smooth and creamy one, also not too sweet!

Hands down my favourite place for claypot rice! We got the large claypot ($36) intended for 5-6 persons, filled with generous amounts of tender chicken chunks, pork belly, lup cheong, salted fish and vegetables.
The ingredients were tossed in the most delicious and fragrant dark sauce, with the overall sweetness matched by a deep smokiness from being cooked over charcoal. We broke up and mixed in the layer of burnt rice at the bottom, adding a nice crispy touch.
The portion was definitely more than enough for the 5 of us, as we ordered sides too. The sides do get quite pricey, but my recommendation would be the Prawn Roll ($11.80), it was really to die for! I was blown away by the thin and crispy outer encasing the juicy meat filling. The sauce from the Tofu with Crab Meat ($18.80) was also a really great addition to the rice.
I donโt even like sar poh fan that much but I love this place! If youโre going, definitely preorder your claypot rice to save you the 30min+ waiting time!

The ๐ฉ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐๐ก๐ข๐จ ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐๐ก๐ was hands down my favourite, the smooth and nutty filling was unmatched in flavour. The ๐๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐ came in a close second, the creamy custard balanced out by the crunchy charred top.
I know a lot of people love the ๐๐&๐, but it was alright, the jam was really too sweet and tasted quite artificial. But PB&J is never a bad combo ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ. The ๐๐ก๐จ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ก๐๐ณ๐๐ฅ๐ง๐ฎ๐ญ was decadent and rich, tasted like a better nutella haha. The ๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ ๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ณ๐๐ was nice, you can definitely get a good feel of the quality of their dough on this one.
Sadly, the ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐จ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ฆ was a miss. I love taro, and the filling by itself tasted really good quality. But the combination with the dough just didnโt work for me.
The dough itself is quality! Perfectly soft and definitely on the chewier side, which I love. Theyโre supposedly baked as well, glad that they werenโt too oily! Also, I think they could do without the coating sugar on top tbh but theyโre still really well balanced!

The perfect decadent and indulgent chocolate cake. The huge sticky chunks of prune mixed into the batter really brought out and elevated the chocolate. Surprisingly, even though the cake was so fudgy and thick, it didnโt feel too jelak. It also tastes like they used different kinds of quality cocoa in this, that produced that depth in flavour.

Everyone recommended the brownie and itโs definitely worth the rave!! The texture of this was really so amazingly and skilfully done. There was a bite to it, with something I can only describe as layers, of chocolate that melded together as you bit into it. The whole hazelnuts and almonds contrasted the gooey pockets of chocolate, accompanied by a pleasant element of flakey salt.
The only thing is that the almonds lost their crunch a little, but thatโs just me being picky. This was definitely a favourite

Looks like a simple, unassuming tea cake, but of course this as well was amazing. This was so delicious, the lemon flavour with the encompassed in a light, moist and buttery cake, accompanied by the contrast of the small sesame seeds.

The quality of the beef and pork are decent considering the price and the amount. It came with a small side salad, ramen noodles , and the other ingredients in the pot include cabbage, some other leafy vegetable, and SO MUCH TAU GAY
The monstrous amount of tau gay made the whole broth taste like nothing... but tau gay ๐. Only after we topped up the soup nearer the end, did I get to taste the actual broth, and itโs actually very tasty on itโs own! But also because of of the amount of ingredients, mainly beansprouts, the soup took very very long to boil ๐ฅด
Ok, to be fair itโs interesting, and really isnโt bad for the amount that they give you, but itโs honestly just a novelty dish.

This ๐๐๐ค๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ก๐จ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐ ๐๐๐ข๐ฒ๐๐ค๐ข ($๐.๐๐) is a flavour on limited offer, with a cherry (i think) & chocolate filling!
As someone who loved mochi, the texture definitely hit the spot for it was SOOO incredibly chewy ๐ฅฐ I was lucky to get it fresh, so it was still warm, with a delightful slightly crisp outer surface. I also loved that the filling was substantial and evenly dispersed LOL. (Tbh itโs my greatest pet peeve when itโs uneven and you canโt get filling in every bite)

A surprisingly mountainous portion of ๐๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ง ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ - ๐๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐ซ ($๐.๐๐) was packed into a tiny regular cup, its pretty swirls topped with 3 marshmallows skewered by a chocolate pocky!
At first bite, the sea salt flavour was a delightful mix of the creamy, milky base with a tinge of saltiness. But as we continued with a few more spoons, the cloying dessert left a sickly-sweet feeling in our throats.
The melon flavour was interesting, but again backed with a sharp and artificial tasting sweetness. When eaten together, the artificial flavour was muted slightly, but didnโt do much to help the jelak-ness.
On a positive note, they really nailed the velvety soft serve texture, it was delightfully soft and creamy! Additionally, the portion size is pretty dang huge ๐ณ, we shouldโve just shared, or taken the $3.80 tubs they were offering that were on a 1-for-1 promo!

The highly raved ๐๐ฃ๐ข ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ฆ & ๐๐ก๐จ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ง ($๐) undoubtedly lives up to the hype.
This screams good quality matcha, with a distinct bitter-sweet flavour profile, weighing heavier on the bitter side. Although almost all the elements were just matcha, there were still different nuances that thwarted a potential one-dimensional flavour; the contrasting textures and the smooth creaminess of the matcha filling complementing the crunchy matcha crumble on the top. The bread was airy, which was a good accompaniment to balance out the intense filling and toppings.
But, my biggest bread pet-peeve - the filling wasnโt very evenly dispersed. ๐ The chocolate sat in a corner, and I didnโt even notice it was there until I nearer the end of the bread. For the parts that I could taste it, it went really well with the matcha!

This ๐๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ข๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ ($๐๐) bowl ๐ tastes as vibrant as it looks! Sitting on neutral base of spinach and tri-coloured quinoa, the flavour of the individual ingredients really shone through!
I LOVED their beetroot hummus, a perfect amount of garlicky notes encompassed in a smooth creamy paste. An interesting ingredient was the vegan cashew cheese??? This was my first time trying it and it SO GOOD! The super strong and earthy notes of the โcheeseโ lent a strong but good pop of flavour to the dish. The raw onions helped to cut through the strong flavours of the hummus and the cheese, with a hint of sweetness coming through in the form of dried cranberries and roasted carrots . The carrots were cooked sooo perfectly ๐คค lending a pleasant mellow sweetness.
For $16, itโs in the rather pricier range of salad bowls, but itโs a really filling portion! I think that their merit lies in the freshness of the ingredients, and the way theyโve managed to piece together flavours that complement each other so well!!

This ๐๐ญ๐ข๐๐ค๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ง ($๐.๐๐) has the perfect pull-apart dough: a pillowy-soft yeasted bun that was fluffy, but yet so incredibly chewy and substantial. Itโs slathered with a thick coat of sweet gooey cinnamon glaze and... omg Iโm losing my mind over a sticky bun ๐ญ
Itโs sweet, as a sticky bun should be, without being too cloying, I could literally down 5 of these in one sitting. Also, amidst my excitement, I forgot I wanted to toast it but Iโm sure they would be EVEN BETTER warm ok
