We checked out a new restaurant at New Bahru for a date, not knowing exactly what to expect, and it turned out to be one of those evenings that just felt easy and memorable. There was a quiet excitement in trying somewhere new together, and when the dishes started arriving, beautifully plated and thoughtfully put together, it set the tone for the rest of the night.

We began with their signature prawn bisque ramen, and it immediately became a shared moment of surprise. The prawns were huge, almost comically so, and we both paused for a second before laughing at how impressive they looked. Biting into them, the freshness really came through, sweet and satisfying. The onsen egg added a comforting richness, and as we slowly worked through the bowl, the broth kept drawing us back in. It had a deep umami flavour that felt warm and balanced, not too salty and not overly heavy.

The halibut burger came next, and it was one of those dishes that sparked conversation again. The yuzu tartare added a bright lift, and we both noticed how well it complemented the fish. The halibut was tender and moist, and the vodka batter gave it a light crispness that made each bite satisfying.

Then came the cold mala crack noodles and the spice hit quickly. Still, we kept going back for more. The noodles were coated so well with the chilli and vinegar that every bite was bold and addictive. It became one of those fun moments where the heat made everything feel a little more alive.

We could not resist ordering the mentaiko bomb tots, and they added a lighthearted touch to the meal. It was amazing! Rich mentaiko flavour yummy to the max!

To end the night, we tried their house sodas, labelled as BBT. The Swee Chai Butterfly, with its guava and honey notes, was refreshing and slightly tangy, a perfect way to wind things down.
