($7.50) most refreshing and cooling taste for drink especially on the hot weather but then matcha got bitter taste tbh.

Served with ham, egg, sauteed mushrooms and cheese. There was no sauce so it was abit dry. I was expecting a crispy crepe but the crepe was doughy. It was slightly bitter. The portion is quite filling.

This is my first visit to French bistro restaurant Josephine and I tried their weekday Set Lunch ($34) which comprised of your choice of starter, main and dessert of the day or coffee/tea.

For starter, I picked Sea Bass Ceviche. The lime marinated raw sea bass with basil, onion and yellow pepper coulis was tangy and refreshing.

I ordered Duroc Pork Belly for main and the slow confit pork belly melted in my mouth and was absolutely delicious. Love that the skin was crispy and it went very well with the garlic crushed potatoes and piperade - couldn’t get enough of this!

Dessert of the day was a slice of Apple Pie and it was not too sweet - a delightful way to end lunch.

There is also a $28 and $44 set lunch. Although the set lunch was pricey, the food was really good - enjoyed this thoroughly!

The al-dente squid ink tagliatelle has just the right bite, complemented by tender crab meat and bursts of juicy cherry tomatoes. A bright, tangy sauce ties it all together, delivering a fresh and well-balanced finish that keeps each forkful delightful 》$28

[KOVAN, SINGAPORE] @alkove.sg is known for their multiple promotions throughout the day, and I've finally tried their daily dinner set menu!

At around $25, depending on your main and top-ups, you get a really sizable meal with a starter, a side and a dessert. The mains are already quite huge, and my favourite among all I've tried is the Chicken Schnitzel 🐔 ($17.90) which was really enormous and the meat within is really tender and flavourful! The rice unfortunately did not have much garlic taste, but the meat sauce helped.

As for starters, the ciabatta with kombu butter đŸ„– is lovely, as the bread was toasted well and paired deliciously with the umami spread 😋 Get the mushroom chips as well as that provided a lovely crunch!

For sides, the Mala Potatoes đŸ„” is the GOAT. Crispy potatoes with a mala sauce that tasted like lao ganma, this was addictive.

As for desserts, both the Brownie with Ice Cream đŸ« & Tiramisu ☕ were good. The former was very rich and chocolatey and the latter had a strong coffee taste!

Indeed there were some misses from the items not mentioned, but overall it was a decent meal, and it was fun trying out so many different varieties of food! Where else can you get such variety at such a price?

Food came fast and taste great

Lastly, for dessert, The Waffle Ice Cream ($20) was okay in my opinion because I don’t really care for their salted milk ice cream (and I was expecting a little more). However, I love the nutty hazelnut crumble, the apple compote also added that fruity sweetness and I basically inhaled the crisp hazelnut waffle.

What saved the night was the Iberico Pork Chop ($48)! Think bone in grilled Iberico rib chop paired with yummy rich vin jaune sauce, luscious artichoke purée, green peas (ugh no), and crunchy aromatic hazelnuts. I could seriously just pick up the plate and lick up all the sauce. Grilled nicely, the pork was sufficiently tender and succulent on most parts but some bites were certainly more firm.

A miss, the Tagliolini Fresca ($40) was completely over-seasoned - too salty. I do, however, enjoy the tangy sweet heirloom cherry tomatoes and the execution of the tender grilled baby squid and Argentinean red prawns. I would say skip this.

Toast to the new year with Brasserie Astoria’s signature/ namesake Toast Astoria ($32), topped with savoury shoyu brined trout roe, sweet Japanese snow crab (quite a sizeable mound) and fresh-tasting coldwater shrimps on a crispy golden-brown butter fried toast amped up with piquant wasabi aioli and pickled red onions. A very refreshing and refined starter (even better with the squeeze of lime).
