Checking out this new kid on the block in my Neighbourhood and have to say it's pretty decent. Juicy tonkatsu, washed down with Yuzu flavoured miso soup... I only wished the portions were bigger. Word has it that they do a decent rendition of tonkatsu ramen too, and if the chefs previous ventures were anything to go by, this is certainly worth trying too.
At $85 for 2, this afternoon tea comes with a glass of champagne each, a whole grilled lobster thermidor, and freshly shucked oysters. Even better enjoyed with the view of the Bay Area.
While the name suggests soba, this is really a dry ramen dish. Served with a soft boiled egg and your choice of toppings, this was one bowl of umami goodness. Go for their signature Nagoya Mazesoba, or the all in. Free upgrade to 1.5 portion of ramen too!
Opened by the folks behind The Plain and Ronin. Coffee is excellent as expected and brunch fare while standard is of decent quality. The ambiance is bright and airy, with a cool outdoor terrace and a wall garden.
Warm sugary goodness with amazing custard that oozes from within. Whoever thought up these babies was a genius. Now please excuse me while I get seconds.
Tucked away in a sleepy corner of Yishun, this cafe has some of the best home made ice cream I've had in a long while. Hot favourites are the pistachio and chocolate overdose. The charcoal waffles were certainly interesting, but I'll be sticking to the good old plain waffle from now thank you very much. Regrettably I've not had the chance to try their Mr Potato Head, but that only gives me an excuse to go back.
These folks serve up crispy waffles that offer Creamier some competition in the Toa Payoh estate. Personally I prefer my waffles a little more fluffy, but their homemade earl grey ice-cream was pretty good.
One of my favourite dim sum places. Especially love their egg tarts with oh so soft and wobbly centres, and their XO fried carrot cake. They do serve up a mean ee fu noodle with crab and mushrooms although that doesn't come cheap. Safra card members get 20% off too.
Cuppa joe brewed with beans from Oriole.
Served with white balsamic, pappadum and red sugar, this is great as a sharing dish.
New kid on the block is giving its neighbours Lokal and The Daily Roundup a run for their money. Easily the two most popular dishes are the scrambled eggs and the pulled pork with grains (even though I'm not a fan of quinoa) - both which were fab. The fact that they're not your usual brunch suspects also scores some points. Either way it looks like the cafe is off to a good start and definitely worth a visit.
First visit to Kki at their new home. The Fromage Melon was as good as I remembered, although slightly more pricey now. Quite enjoyed the Nao too, a strawberry mousse with pistachio, although it was a tad too sweet for my liking.
