Their signature caffeine cup was pretty tasty. The hint of minti-ness complimented the aromatic cocoa well, bringing forth a flavour that was strong but not overpowering. The wicked mocha had just the optimal amount of chocolate ratio for me and I enjoyed it. Unfortunately, the beverage costs $6 a pop and my wallet cries at the upscale price. This’ll be a nice indulgence from time to time (7.5/10)

Was initially a little hesitant to order this as we were afraid that the truffle flavour would be too overwhelming. Glad it turned out really pleasant! Somen was cooked to a good texture and evenly coated in truffle dressing. Scallops were fresh, though it felt a little thin for its original price tag. Service was friendly and food was good. Le Coq’s on Burpple Beyond and it’s really worth it! Will be back.

Popped by Morettino a few times as there is a one-for-one promo on Burpple Beyond😎 I wasn’t expecting much but the pastas and pizzas were good! The Fettuccine Beef Bolognese ($24) is delicious - the pasta has a nice texture and goes very well with the slow cooked minced beef in tomato sauce, very comforting! I’m not a fan of cream-based pasta, so I’m pleasantly surprised that the Carbonara ($18) is one of the lightest and least jelak ones I have ever tasted:) The lightness allowed the strong flavours of the pecorino cheese and smoked bacon to come through the dish. I also tried the Truffle Carbonara ($24), which has the same lightness of the carbonara but infused with the fragrance of truffle. Lastly, the Pizza Parma Ham ($28) features an unstoppable combination of thin crust, thinly sliced Prosciutto ham, mozzarella cheese and tomato - it’s very savoury and tasty. Pleased to find a decent and affordable Italian restaurant near my workplace:)!

Am thrilled to learn that this Carbonara here follows the authentic Italian recipe!! Which means none of that cream nonsense, just egg yolk and parmesan to create that delectable sauce! Rarely do you find such renditions here in Singapore and I love every bit of this dish here!

Oyster Paitan Ramen ($15.90++) || @KonjikiHototogisu
.
Finally tried this Michelin-rated ramen 🍜 which was recently awarded the 2019 Tokyo Michelin Star and listed on Tokyo Michelin Bib Gourmand 2015-2018.
.
The restaurant, famous for its clam-based ramen, exclusively offers oyster-based ones at its @GreatWorldCitySG outlet. I heard that the oyster consomme is prepared through hours of slow cooking!
.
I had the Oyster Paitan Ramen and really liked the flavourful creamy broth. The first mouthful reminded me of creamy pasta - really rich, unlike traditional ramen which usually served in clear broth.
.
Nonetheless, as the oyster paste (the blob that you see on the left side of the bowl) was a little too strong, I didn't quite mix everything in eventually. So I was really thankful for the lemon which added a good citrusy contrast.
.
PS: I topped up S$2++ for the onsen egg. A ramen would just be incomplete without the beautiful half-boiled egg, don't you agree? 🙋‍♀️

Their skewers is very good. Meat is juicy and tender, not those satay kind which are dry and hard. Give their tiger milk tea a try too.

This eatery is packed with people during lunch hours but even so, it doesn’t take long to get a seat and your food. The portion is really big (for me) and it is so so satisfying. The sauce is super gao yumzzz

Served with a variety of mushrooms, bacon and onions, the truffle mushroom farfalle ($16) hit all the right notes. Creamy with a decent truffle aroma, the sauce was light and not overwhelming. Portion was also very generous!

Scored this dish using the burpple beyond 1-for-1 which is unfortunately limited to mains and pastas, with exclusions. Would have loved to try some of the egg dishes! Also requested for the mains to be served after the wings, but they were served together and got cold whilst finishing the sides. Seating at fuel plus is quite limited too, so best to head down early!

Salmon wasn’t dry and the skin was so flavourful.
Portion of the salmon was huge, almost double the size of what you normally get elsewhere.

All the veggies were cooked and seasoned perfectly. Carrots were so sweet and the zucchini was soft.

Really good value with juicy slabs of chicken coated in light crispy batter. Pretty tasty, if only lightly seasoned.

Really recommend getting this as an appetiser! A twist on the traditional calamari, it’s fried with garlic, chilli padi, and curry leaves, so it’s incredibly fragrant and tasty. The calamari is quite a big portion for the price and the thick chunks of well seasoned squid was really satisfying. It also wasn’t oily, as calamari sometimes can be. Plus, the chilli padi wasn’t spicy unless you eat the seeds, so it was good for me since I don’t like spicy food that much.

(Thanks Burpple and Nassim Hill Bakery Bistro Bar for the eatup!)

Wind down after work with excellent nosh and chill vibes at this bistro bar tucked away along Tanglin Road. Must-haves include the addictively spicy, tangy Chilli Crab Pasta ($17), and the Cheddar Cheese Bacon Waffles ($20) – think crispy and fluffy waffles with cheddar cheese and bacon bits incorporated into a fragrant waffle batter, resulting in a perfect savory balance.
