Looks rather unassuming, probably due to my terrible photography skills. However, beyond the superficiality of aesthetic food this was just yummy grub man, which at the end of the day is all that matters ain’t it.

Creamy smooth scrambled eggs is a lovely texture when you dribble it onto the sourdough, add on the portobello for a bit of tasty moisture as that is one juicy mushroom. Do go early tho, for this cafe has a cult following and a steady stream of customers throughout brunchtime.

I’m a growing man-child, so believe me when I say that something is truly satisfying when I talk about portion sizes, because that’s something I certainly care about. Whilst expensive, Collins does not scrimp with their ingredients, and that’s a solid A in my books. The greens cover the beauty of chunky salmon bathed in cheese, but this was a really solid and hearty meal. The salmon flakes off well and carries the heat from the pan, while the gooey cheese completes the umami profile of this meal. The only turn off point for me is the price, but for the premium ingredient of salmon, I’ll chalk this up as a luxury treat from time to time

Lots of songs of praise on their homepage, so my expectations were pretty high. Even with the Burpple 1-for-1, these 2 cups ran up to $10, which is just about the ballpark of Daily Scoop Udders and the usual gang of ice creameries.
Beyond the pricing, the ice cream was also not compelling enough for me to remember details about it, much more to convince me of making it a regular haunt. As an avid sesame ice cream kinda guy, their sesame had a well roasted profile without being overtly sweet, but that’s about it really nothing to shout about over here. The chocolate wasn’t the usual dark, strong and aggressive tasting kind that is overpoweringly sweet, which is a welcome exchange as it was subtle and tasty. The other two was alright.
Perhaps I don’t have the tongue for them artisanal homemade gelato things, but in my opinion for the pricing the desserts were okay.

What a peculiar dish, probably the first time I’ve tasted notes of spiciness in a pasta that as other Burpplers have pointed out, is reminiscent to the kick of the Mala spice. And to be frank, that isn’t a bad thing at all, the flavour actually compliments your usual prawn aglio olio. The shape of the pasta, coupled with the crunchiness of the tiny tobiko pearls, gives it such a fun bite. This dish is unconventional and doesn’t break the bank, at only $18 with Beyond 1-for-1 making it just $9 a pop, it is certainly worth a try.

For real tho, this was a solid steal, after the discount it was merely $8 with no service and gst charge (if I recall correctly). Was fairly sceptical initially as Le Coq is located in the nest of degen city, where CBD warriors waste away their long days with alcohol. How can a bar type bistro serve up good food?? Quite so pleasantly surprised, chicken was tender and delicious, skin is crispy and not overtly glazed up with oil. The quinoa substituting mainstream chicken rice was a welcome addition and them tamagoes completed this meal in its entirety. This was pretty damn filling, and I was certainly satisfied especially considering the price point I was paying. For sure I’m coming back, one of those places that doesn’t skimp on their ingredients just because they’re on Burpple Beyond so I can respect that.

pictured is the duck confit hash ($20.50) & the halibut fish burger ($17).

both dishes were stunning. i feel that for the price, the portions are big and filling. duck wasn’t too salty, seasoned perfectly! the fish burger was tasty, the patty was on the slightly oily side but the flavours were there. the batter for the fish patty wasn’t too thick. generous serving of fries came along with it! it’s a must to mention their roadster beans, i got the 5oz white coffee with a single shot & it was just what i needed for the day!

would definitely recommend & go back in future 🤩

This dish was pretty amazing - I normally wouldn’t attempt a mac & cheese dish on my own, but this wasn’t nearly as surfeiting as I expected it to be. While the cheese came through clearly (along with the truffle), it was still light on the palate. Would definitely come back for this again!

Yet another bbtea enters the foray, but with the Burpple 1-for-1 is a solid deal all around. Interesting tidbit, this isn’t a franchise hailing from China or Taiwan but actually homegrown from our humble abode, which is admirable to say the least. The pearls have a delectable bite texture and gives you quite a pleasant chew springiness, the milk tea isn’t overpoweringly sweet and the flavour doesn’t jelat you out despite the 700ml contents. Good stuff, for sure will get if I’m around the area

Pretty value for money with Burpple 1-for-1 since I only paid $10.50 for this rosti plate + iced mocha from this cafe. Rosti is rather light on flavour but that can be easily remedied with the salt shaker readily available at the side. The cured salmon and sour cream goes well w this Rosti. The Rosti itself is made of thicker potato shreds so it’s not as crispy as the Marches signature dish, giving it a chunkier bite texture which you may or may not like. All in all, can’t really lament all too much for the price of one red note, nice lunch thx

Came here as it was available for Burrple Beyond during F1 weekend. Loved the gashouse eggs with bacon jam ($13 nett).

Iced mocha ($6.50) was delicious too. I like that the prices are nett and coffee is affordable.

Heard it’s a lot better; lady boss used to make it herself by hand blah blah.. Despite the historical context and it being my first time trying, still found it quite decent. The hakka noodles were allegedly popular and good but turned out meh and plain, mix it with the sweet sauces for flavour. The ground meat mixtures and fish paste ingredients were a cut above your usual fare, well fried and assembled aesthetically onto the bowl. For the price of $5.80, I’d consider coming back once in a while solely for the meat paste ingredients.

1-for-1 with #burpplebeyond!

Probably one of the most worthy deals on Burpple Beyond. Look at the char-grilled river eel fillet that sits elegantly on top a bed of fluffy Japanese rice. Smokiness on point with a gleam of sweet glaze, accompanied by an oozy onsen egg. Do note that, however, there were quite a bit of little bones which were prickly. Of course, you can just pick them out.

Truffle-infused wagyu striploin, served with pickled greens, onsen egg and fluffy Japanese rice. I can’t comment on the taste as it wasn’t my order, but the pinkish-red meat surrounding the rice was already looking like a true indulgence.
