From Nasi Coco at NeWest — the new Tendon X Nasi Lemak concept takes the spot of now-defunct Thrive Kitchen, serving up dishes that focuses on the use of coconut.

Almost essentially the full works of the menu here, the Nasi Coco Supreme comes with Tempura pieces such as seasonal vegetables, chicken, prawn and even luncheon meat, while coming with an option of either lava egg or sous-vide egg. Tempura items were crisp, though the batter felt that it could have been lighter — the Nasi Lemak comes pretty fluffy and aromatic, carrying an evident hint of coconut-y fragrance while the sambal packs a punch being fiery yet sweet. Ikan bills were also pretty crisp as well. A pretty interesting take on Tendon and Nasi Lemak — quite substantial at $9.90.

This was highly recommended by the colleagues when we first joined the company and being just opposite the office, it’s as convenient as it can get. Coincidentally, this was also the last meal that I had with my two best-est buddies before I embarked on a new journey in my career. Everything that we have ordered since the first visit never fails to impress us but one thing that we always have to order would be the appetizer dish of Green Bean Glass Noodles. Do try it when you’re here!

Coincidentally, this is the first time that I’m having the Meatsmith Cheeseburger ($15) and it will definitely not be the last. The Texas rodeo-styled steakhouse with cowboys-esqued service staff smokes their meat daily and it is pretty evident from the first bite. Rustic, non-compromising, just pure greasy goodness of what a cheeseburger should be.

Meatsmith
Address: 167/169, Telok Ayer Street, Singapore 068620

Telok Ayer's popular smokehouse Meatsmith has ventured into Little India with its second outlet, and head chef Andrew Baldus presents a menu of American barbecue accented with Indian spices, rubs and sauces. In short, expect seriously delicious American-Indian fusion food. Take Burppler Veronica Phua's cue and start with the Picklebacks ($5), which sees India's Amrut single malt whisky chased down with housemade jalapeno pickle juice, and then work your way through stellar snacks like Pulled Pork Samosas, Currywurst Sausages and Butter Chicken Hot Pockets ($7-$8 each). That should prime you well for their Stuffed Suckling Pig ($48), stuffed with a nasi biryani stuffing that mixes together lots of dried fruit and nuts to elevate the sweetness of the pork, as well as their flawless Tandoori Chicken ($18), which will impress with its flavourful marinade and incredibly moist meat. Pair the meats with an order of Gunpowder Potatoes ($6), where spot-on seasoning, crisp edges and curry leaves come together in addictive harmony. Wash everything down with tall glasses of Nimbu Pani ($4, free flow), a cumin-kissed Indian lemonade that's super refreshing and palate-cleansing.

This latest concept by the Travis Masiero Restaurant Group is a lovely spot to enjoy some seriously tasty pizza — certainly good enough to justify the higher prices. The playlist is funky but it can get noisy in here, so file this away for a night out with friends instead of a romantic date. Settle into one of the booth seats and order a platter of the Blue Label Chicken Wings ($14 for a small portion, $28 for large) to share. According to Burppler Veronica Phua, the fresh wings are prepared in a four-step process — brine, sous vide, fry and glaze. This means very juicy meat, slicked in a gorgeously sticky, golden brown sauce, that doesn't require much more oomph from the blue cheese ranch dip served on the side. As for pizzas, theirs are made using a long ferment dough (takes two days just to be ready), which results in a crust that's not at all floury, and with a slightly oily (but yummy) distinctly crisp bite. Veronica liked the Dr. Pepperoni ($31), which combines red sauce, mozzarella, capers, chilli oil, pepperoni and lots of sesame seeds. Consider the Housemade Soft Serve ($8, additional $2 per topping) for dessert; it's smooth, thick and creamy, and a lovely way to end the meal.

These are hotdogs that have seriously upped their game.
Besides having the 100% Prime beef frankfurter and toasted butter bun in common, the “Truffle Hound” (top) and “Phife Dawg” are completely different.
The former is smooth - he’s the slicker of the two with roasted portobello mushroom buried in the creaminess of garlic and miso butter, true melted cheese, true aioli, true oil and ketchup.
On the other end of the spectrum is the beefed up “Phife Dawg” who’s piles on the chilli, smoked applewood cheddar and sour cream. With the Big Poppa “hot sauce” and watermelon relish completing his OOTD, this dude has a little more of an explosive personality.

Tiong Bahru has yet another cafe but this one has pretty awesome food and ambience.
Tarte flambee $24
Angus beef $26
Smoked salmon burger $21
Scrambled eggs $19
The humble looking and seemingly overpriced organic scrambled eggs was actually my favorite item. Truffle taste is evident and Parmesan cheese made it even better! Worth a return visit.

+marinated pear & melted Camembert cheese

💸: $18++
👅💭: 🙂
Mayb the taste is lighter for this dish or i like the ravioli too much. The rilette has paled in comparison. The ducky game is a little strong...the marinated pear was a pleasant addition, adding a little sweetness.

Pandan layer sponge with coconut sugar filling ! $6.0 per slice !

Using Japanese Matcha powder (initially I thought that they used O'sulloc Matcha spread), it was infused with bittersweet matcha!
Oh and you thought it may be diabetic to go with oreo? You will be surprised it wasn't sweet at all! The oreo crust was so crunchy and crumbles just as you bite into it!
GREAT TGIF TREAT!
