The prawns were fresh and cooked perfectly. The pasta was rich with prawn (guessed they used prawn broth) and garlic flavour. Amazing, didn’t need any black pepper to taste awesome. One of the best aglio I’ve tried!
Price: $24, portion slightly small but comes with five big prawns.
Didn’t expect such a yummy meal! The Cajun Chicken was tender, juicy and well-marinated, didn’t need the sauce to taste yummy. Truffle chicken was tender and juicy too, matched with the truffle-oil brown sauce. Flavour wise, Cajun chicken is yummier.
Grilled mushroom was not warm but passable. Fries were thick cut and average, would be better if served warm/fresh.
Service was good and fast! The iced long black was pretty decent.
Overall, very recommended!
Cajun Chicken: $14.90
Truffle Chicken: $16.90
Top-up for iced lemon tea and mushroom soup: $6.90
Classic with choice of frozen yoghurt (natural or vanilla) or ice cream, along with two toppings.
There were a huge variety of options, from granola and biscuits, to fruits and nuts, to cookie butter and dalgona coffee(?).
$5-ish for two with burpple beyond, making it such a worthwhile dessert! Gonna go back for more!
Read good reviews online and decided to give it a try. DID NOT DISAPPOINT.
The fries were average (maybe cause we had to dapao) but the truffle flavour was overwhelming with every bite and that’s what made the whole dish so awesome.
Also tried the Hotate Mentai Yaki (6 large) and Mentaiko pasta. Both were pleasant too, but mentaiko pasta can be jelat (best to share), and hotate sauce was a bit diluted.
Price: $10
Amazing beef cubes!!!
Had to take away cos of the whole covid no more eat out thing and all bringing us back to phase 2 all over again.. so we brought the food to the car expecting to drive home to eat. Made the mistake of munching on 1 cube before driving home, and long story short we ate all boxes of food and all steak cubes in the car like animals. Yes this is a gateway drug pls eat with caution.
Home-made sauce was very pleasant and yummy, nicely paired with the Unagi Fried Rice.
Price: $20 (roughly ten cubes with mushroom)
Tried the prawn risotto and oxtail lasagne.
Prawn risotto: slightly wetter than usual risotto but it was the most amazing flavour ever. Could taste the prawn and herb flavour in every bite. Prawns were slightly over cooked, which was a bit disappointing for Jamie’s standard. But seriously, the risotto was so amazing I loved it more than the prawns.
Oxtail lasagne: fresh tomato base, go in expecting less béchamel than a normal lasagne recipe and you won’t be disappointed. Oxtail would have been better if it was in chunks, unfortunately it was shredded and ended up smushy against the al dente lasagne sheets.
My boyfriend ate the 150g burrata, I didn’t. He described it as “creamy and yummy, recommended”.
The garlic bread comes in four, but gobbled two before realising it’s photo-worthy too.
Crusty on the outside but super fluffy on the inside, bread was totally not dry or tough. Garlic and herb flavour was amazing, and goes super well with the mozzarella inside it.
Totally recommended!!!!!!
Tried the Perfect 650 Grilled Half Chicken. Couldn’t comprehend what rub was used to marinate but it wasn’t nasty. It was actually pretty interesting and nice. However, only the drum was good, other parts of the half chicken was either over cooked, dry and tough or undercooked (red!).
Fries was the thick cut and it was decent (not too salty).
This was pricey for the serving size but I guess people go there for the chill ambience. Only try this dish if you have one-for-one. Or maybe try the regular grilled chicken chop, seems safer?
Price: $22.50
Tried the clam pasta and it was unlike anything I’ve eaten before. The sauce was deep yellow, and insanely salty. The chef probably melted a whole stick of salted butter, forgetting pepper, herbs and that the natural saltiness of clams will seep into the sauce too.
The clams were not as good as expected too, they were still slimey (totally not what I expect from an eatery).
Sad to say this but I think Saizeriya does a way better job at one-third the price.
The bistro has a very nice and comfy ambience. If you wish to visit, perhaps try the sides or beer. The latte was average-machine coffee.
Price: $22.50
Eggs and mushrooms were average, sausages were good but it’s hard to go wrong with sausages. Croissant was really awesome, saved the breakfast in fact. Tried the latte, bone marrow and duck confit pasta too. Duck confit pasta taste was worth trying, the pasta was Q and the broth was flavoursome. The rest was really average, wouldn’t recommend without burpple. All these came up to $50 with burpple beyond. Ala carte croissant is $3.50 each, $5 for two.
Costs $10 with burpple, very good deal. Cold brew tea isn’t exactly cold, but room temp. Which was okay because the açai bowl is cold already. Açai has a little banana flavour infused? Which was different but not bad too. Fruit toppings were fresh. Cookie butter topping was generous, though a little too buttery for our liking.
The ambience was chillax and simple, and service was attentive.
