Looking for Asian places?

Saw this store featured in the tiktok of a Japanese lady living in Singapore, and fortunately I also discovered that it is one of Burpple's merchants as well!

They offer a wide range of sobas in both hot and cold varieties, as well as rice bowls, sides, and even drinks. Everything looked so good, especially the current monthly special (oyster soba!), and we finally settled on the Collagen Chicken Soba (Hot) and Yuzu-Miso Chicken Soba (Cold). The collagen chicken soup was light-tasting and yet still full of flavour, with generous slices of chicken breast. The minced ginger also gave the broth a certain 'spiciness', and I would liken the dish to be a soupy version of chicken rice. This was good, but we very much preferred the yuzu-miso chicken soba - the coldness of the broth brought out the citrusy-savoury flavours so much more, with the crisp doumiao lending some freshness and the perfectly grilled chicken thighs rounding up the dish. Just amazing, we couldn't stop slurping this up.

Overall, service was prompt and friendly, and general ambience was bright and cheery. Prices are also pretty affordable considering the quality you get, but of course having the Burpple deal makes it all the more worth (our two bowls only came up to $18!). Would definitely return!

The soft serve has a strong milky (not vanilla) flavour and the cone has a malty taste. If you prefer milky flavours then this is something to try but if you are expecting vanilla flavours then I suggest Mcdonald's soft serve. It was decent but do not expect premium ice cream at such a price point 》$1.50

(Dry) (Regular) ($5.50) its not that bad but char siew was quite chewy and not that hard. The noodles texture was not that thin and chewy texture as its "al dente".

Halal Chinese cravings? 🥢 Head to 西北香 @restaurant_aisyah on Arab Street for an authentic taste of Xinjiang cuisine, especially their handmade specialty noodles. 🤤

We couldn’t get enough of the Tongue-Tingling Spicy Dry Beef Noodles🍜 — super chewy and packed with an irresistible spicy kick! 🌶️ Even better, #BurppleBeyond members can enjoy a 1-for-1 Noodles deal.

The beef short rib was delicious complemented by lovely sides

($47) my mum told me that the duck shrink in size :/ but the taste was quite remained the same in the past.

Places specialising in "local farmers' produce-driven Singaporean cuisine" is certainly not a new concept, but Rustica manages to be one of the better ones I've had (in my books, at least!). The ambience of the cafe is bright and welcoming, and the service staff were so warm, friendly, and enthusiastic.

On to the food, we started off with the Crab Bergedil ($11) and Cereal Fish Bun ($12). The bergedil was fragrant and presentation was adorable, but we felt that there could be a stronger punchiness in taste, either from the crab meat or from the spices. A crispier exterior would also be good. On the other hand, the fish bun was excellent - loved the huge slab of crusty snapper fillet, which paired wonderfully with the herby tartar and soft bun

For the mains, we shared the Roasted Chicken Crown with White Pepper Sauce ($21), Golden Fish Broth ($25), and the Kailan with Fried Garlic ($14). LOVED all three dishes, and I think a recurring comment we had was the depth of flavour in every one of them. The roasted chicken had smokiness, traditional aromas of ginger and scallion, freshness from the crown daisy, and layered with the delicious white pepper sauce (couldn't stop slurping it up!). The fish broth was also thick, milky, gingery, flavourful, and overall warm and comforting. The kailan was also a surprise hit - the veges were crisp and fresh, and one can never go wrong with fried garlic. The table also gets a pot of Local Herb Rice which by itself is savoury (from the fried shallots) but went well with all the dishes.

Washed the fantastic meal down with the SG Lager Beer ($10/btl) and Vanilla Cold Brew ($9). Seriously well-executed dishes, and we enjoyed the unique renditions of local dishes. Definitely recommended for everyone!

I knew it was gonna be good when I was hit with a strong aroma of cinnamon and tea leaves🫖 upon entering, and the both the teh tarik ($4.50) and matcha teh tarik ($5.50)🍵 indeed were! Idk if I'll return to satisfy my teh tarik cravings but if you're looking for novelty/quality this is the place🌿

After all the indulgent CNY feasting, we were craving something different and stumbled upon Masala Tandoor for dinner. Is it just me, or does the East Coast/Marine Parade area have a surprising number of Indian restaurants? With barely any social media buzz, we relied on Google Reviews to decide, and it turned out to be a great find.

We started with the Amritsari Fish, boneless nuggets battered with a medley of spices, before moving on to sharing plates of Aloo Gobi and Butter Chicken, paired with Chicken Dum Biryani and Chicken Tikka Biryani. And of course, no Indian meal is complete without freshly baked Garlic Naan, perfect for mopping up all that rich, flavorful gravy.

[ROCHOR, SINGAPORE] Found yet another Korean restaurant that makes me wanna come back for more 😍

I believe @gagahoho_sg is known for their unique Kimchi, that is very unlike the ones served in other establishments. The cabbage slices are much larger, and they were very fresh and crisp. The seasoning on the kimchi can be quite heavy on the fermented shrimp, but it's perfect with some rice. Give me that with rice and I think it's a meal already 🤭

For the recent rainy weather, their Seoul Beef Soup ($15.90) is lovely, due to its comforting beef broth. Meat slices were tender, though we wished it was slightly thicker. Do note that you need to salt the broth yourself!

Their Boiled Pork Slices ($36) are a must have to share, as it's so tender and flavourful, all without the pork odour. Pair this with their condiments and a vegetable wrap and you get a satisfying bite!

Last but not least, their Squid Leek Pancake ($19) is another must order. Crispy and savoury with a heavy seafood flavour, the pancakes were so rich and addictive especially with the crispy bits on top! It can be quite heavy so it's best to share 🤣

With a focused menu, no GST and quality food, I can't wait for my next visit here again!

Boss and staff were so friendly, patient and helpful. 1 for 1 is for all main courses on their Indian and Indian-Chinese menus. The Burpple deal was easily redeemed with no frills.
Food was really good - butter chicken and garlic spicy chicken both went so well with Naan and Rice.
There is no GST, complimentary water and complimentary crackers with this yummy Thai-like chilli sauce with it.
I would definitely recommend this place and come again.
