Tried out the Ramen from @ato.mein ! The ramen is made from imported flour from Japan and the noodles are self-made! For the soup, real pork bones are cooked for 12 hours to make the delicious ramen noodle soup! All the ramen comes with black fungus, spring onions and an ajitama egg.
Chicken Confit ($13): This was the highlight of the meal for me! French and Japanese Fusion dish! Very impressed with the very tender chicken that is slightly grilled on the outside. The chicken was surprisingly flavourful, not dry at all. It was sooo good that one can just eat the chicken without dipping it in any sauce! The ramen for this item was the thicker cut ramen!
Spicy Tonkotsu ($11): This ramen was the thinner round kind of ramen. Be warned, this spicy soup is really spicy! Not for the faint hearted. Love how the two portions of tonkotus given was very meaty, not stingy at all!
Gyoza (6 pieces for $9): Must get side dish to complete the Japanese Ramen Meal! Gyoza skin was crisp and not dry/hard at all. Generous amount of minced meat, and goes well with the gyoza sauce and mayo (self service from the cutlery counter)!
Curry Croquette ($1.60): Tried this unique croquette because I rarely see such croquette sold elsewhere. Very delicious! It is like eating japanese curry rice in croquette form. Recommend to try this!
Roselle ($3): I kind of like this roselle tea! It was slightly sour, but not overly sour.
Yuzu Green Tea ($3): Very refreshing drink to quench all thirst! Fragrant jasmine green tea with some yuzu twist!
Do check out ATO Mein! They have 3 outlets located around Singapore:
-191 Sin Ming Avenue, Marymount Community Centre, #02-01
-906 Upper Thomson Road
-8 Wilkie Road, Wilkie Edge #01-22
Visited Cheval Chi Bao because they were listed on burpple beyond 1 for 1. First impression was mehh already right after enquiring with staff A what we could order using burpplebeyond. Staff A informed us the free item was for the mains only, and customers need to order a chicken/pork/beef dish that is at least $15.8++ value to even get the free mains. Upon hearing this, we were all ready to walk off. But decided later on to stay. When ordering later on, we got another staff B to come take our orders and upon trying our luck to enquire again, this time round staff B replies on what items could apply for burpple beyond was completely different from that of staff A! We could in the end order two mains using 1 for 1 burpplebeyond with staff A. While i understand restaurant can have diff practice for burpplebeyond, this should be stated clearly in the app if they want it that way. In addition, the staff should also be giving the same replies on how the 1 for 1 should be treated. So because of this, our appetite was already spoiled even before the meal came as we were still uncertain throughout our meal whether the 1 for 1 offer will be granted since different staff said different things and we werent sure which staff had the final say over payment matters lol 🙄
Anw this was what we had
- signature truffle fried rice ($13.80++): while special and unique, my only gripe was that there is no meat or seafood in it. Basically just egg fried rice with truffle taste
- seafood fried mee sua ($13.80++): was surprised by the amount of seafood in this. There was squid, prawn and slices fish! Tastes like xin zhou fried beehoon! Would have preferred if sambal chilli was given! But at this point, we were already trying to avoid unnecessary conversation with the staff and just wanted to faster finish eating and leave
So if anyone intends to dine here using the burpple beyond 1 for 1 to get two mains (rice/noodles etc) dishes, best to clarify before heading down.

Third time back at @munchidelights but the first time using @burpple beyond for it! My favourite min jiang kueh because they have many interesting flavours! Not just original min jiang kueh with peanut / coconut fillings. I love these charcoal and matcha mee jeng kueh! Although the matcha/ charcoal taste is very slight, but colourful makes me happy! I love the sweet coconut shreds and also their peanut fillings, which is more like peanut butter texture rather than just dry chopped peanuts with sugar. 1 for 1 with burpplebeyond so i paid $1.30 for 2 pieces!

Forage Cafe has been on my to-visit cafe list for a long time! (but always procrastinating to go because it is quite out of the way and not that near tanah merah mrt)
Thanks to @seatsasia @theforagecafesg giveaway, I finally made the trip down! Tried out the dark chocolate tart! Delicious dark chocolate, not too bitter, and I especially like the chocolate butter pastry crust!

Friends Cafe HK 朋友冰室!
We reached 20mins past opening time, and there was already a snaking long queue. It took us around 30mins of waiting before we finally got in! Food was served pretty fast though as Hong Kong is all about instant comfort food.
French Toast with Peanut Butter ($3.50): I must say this is the MUST ORDER ITEM! I absolutely love this! Buttery, fragrant, crispy!
Stir-fried charsiew and egg with white rice ($6.50): Got this item because it was highly raved by others from the reviews I read. But no, this item is a no no for me. The egg wasnt the silky scrambled egg type, it was the chinese-style 99% cooked kind. I also didnt like the super fatty charsiew as I am not a fan of fatty char siew meats. This item was just on the drier side, with no sauce and a not scrambled dry egg.
Chicken Chop Rice with black pepper sauce ($7.50 set meal with half a slice of butter toast and luncheon meat): Ordered this item because it was also highly raved. I like the black pepper sauce given for this dish! I also like how lots of black pepper sauce was given, if not it will be quite hard for me to eat plain dry rice. Chicken Chop was on the dry side too, but still alright. Luncheon meat comfort food! The toast with butter can skip, the toast was quite hard, and not as nice as the french toast. (I suspect most ppl do not eat this free toast? The cashier staff even asked us when ordering whether we wanted the free toast, when you would have expected them to give without asking. Most prob to reduce food wastage)
Iced kumquat tea ($2.2): Tastes like yuzu, with some kumquat pulp in it! Paid 20 cents more for the iced tea option, but the drink came hot with ice cubes given. LOL ok, so i paid 20 cents for the few little ice cubes. But I guess that’s how iced tea drinks are served in Hong Kong too. Haha too funny to me.
All in all, paid about $20 for the meal for 2 pax. Whether I will come back again, not really. To me, Hong kong’s comfort food is something I think I can cook at home too! For the experience since one can’t travel, sure why not!
