Really enjoyed my dinner at Market Bistro, the Crispy Duck Leg Confit was the highlight for me, with meat that was incredibly tender and almost melt in the mouth, it was perfectly complemented by a light yet umami chicken jus too. While the Ribeye Steak Frites was so juicy & succulent, and pairing well with the green Parisian herb sauce which added a light aromatic touch. The refreshing salmon salad and fragrant, premium espresso-forward Tiramisu were also lovely additions to the overall dining experience.
We came for dinner on a Thursday night, and ordered the pork belly (duroc), 160g, the thinly sliced brisket, 200g, the mini noodles (cold), and the chicken-green onions jeon. Our meal also came with an array of banchan that were fresh, tasty, and paired wonderfully with the meats. While the meats and jeon were not bad, the star of the show definitely had to be the mini cold noodles and the pickled squid banchan. The refreshing taste of the cold noodle broth and the savoury, chewy bite of the squid were flavours we kept returning to throughout the night. I loved the freshness of the two veggie banchan options as well. We were initially considering getting some shaved ice for dessert, but were far too full due to the generous portions of each menu item ordered.
Went for dinner date at Market Bistro today and thoroughly enjoyed the food. Ordered the spring salmon salad as a start which was really appetising. For mains, had the crispy duck leg confit and it's especially tender and complimented well with the chicken jus sauce. She ordered the steak frites (ribeye) which was well prepared. The signature tiramisu had a great balance between the expresso and cream.
Had a lovely dinner at Shukuu Izakaya and really enjoyed the experience. The ambience is warm and inviting, with soft lighting, great for a relaxed dinner.
I particularly enjoyed the spicy salmon don. The salmon was fresh and the sauce had just the right level of spice, not overpowering but enough to give it a kick. Very comforting bowl. The mushroom and veggie grill was also nicely done, lightly seasoned and not too heavy.
We ordered quite a variety including grilled chicken, pork balls, and a sashimi platter to share. The sashimi was fresh and beautifully plated.
Overall, a very pleasant dining experience with good food and a cosy atmosphere. Would recommend for casual dinners or small gatherings.
We had dinner at Shukuu Izakaya recently, and it was a very satisfying meal overall. The place has a cosy, lively vibe and feels like a proper Japanese izakaya with warm lighting and a casual, relaxed atmosphere. Good for winding down after a long day.
The garlic fried rice was surprisingly one of the highlights for me. Fragrant, not too oily, and packed with that wok hei flavour. Simple dish but done very well. The grilled pork was also excellent: nicely charred on the outside, juicy on the inside, and very flavourful. You can tell they know how to handle their grill.
We also shared the mixed sashimi platter (15 pieces) which was fresh and nicely presented. The cuts were thick and satisfying.
Overall, solid food, good portions, and a comfortable ambience. Would come back again for the grilled dishes and fried rice.
We tried the new menu:
1. Starters: Escargots
2. Mains: Lamb Saddle 500g (shared between 2) and Beef Burgers with Foie Gras.
The lamb dish was really good. Great service as well.
Very nice ambience, staff were friendly too. The food was really good too, although it feels like the 1 for 1 wasn't really worth since its $59++ but only got beef sukiyaki gyudon
[BUKIT MERAH, SINGAPORE] This is not your friendly BCM who says hi, this is a bowl that shouts FLAVOUR right in your face π
I believe No. 25 is no stranger to most people, but it's been on my list for some time and I'm glad to have tried it on one work day afternoon! Arriving at 1145am, the queue was about 45 mins and I got the Signature Minced Meat Noodle ($11.50 for medium size).
The noodles were just slightly springy, and very heavily seasoned with a savoury chilli sauce. This is very rich, very sinful but quite satisfying. If only the noodles were a little more al dente!
The soup itself was also very rich, full of umami but surprisingly not too salty. I can tell the ingredients were all quite premium, especially their fish dumplings. The liver was very well cooked, with the right soft and bouncy texture!
Personally, even for a person that enjoys heavy flavours, this might be abit too much for me. This is still a quality bowl of BCM, but I can imagine others liking this more!
All of the meat were so juicy and tender! The meat was cooked medium rare which melts in your mouth, just the way we wanted it. There was also a variety of sides which allowed us to enjoy our meat in different ways, good service and good atmosphere.
The House Feast was great overall, and every item in the set was high quality. Both types of short ribs were really tender, and the brisket was just as good. Between the meat, the soup, and the sides, there wasn't a weak link in the meal.
