đŸ” Daizu’s newly released Fuji Kori Amann includes a piping hot Kouign Amann served with a scoop of chilled vanilla ice cream, that is topped with fine matcha powder and crushed pistachio. Hands-down, my favourite dessert from Daizu. The pastry was flaky and its exterior remained crispy even after dipping it into the ice cream, which complimented it very well. The matcha flavour was not very distinct, hence we asked for more matcha powder (both for the taste and the photo), and the crushed pistachio added an earthy, nutty taste to it. Overall, a really great dessert to end a satisfying meal!

🩀The soft shell crab was served atop fresh mixed greens inside a flaky open croissant, drizzled with their house specialty salted egg sauce alongside some edamame and soybeans. The exterior of the soft shell crab was crispy and the beans gave the dish an additional layer of texture. The sauce was delicious and fragrant, but can be a little salty when it’s not eaten together with the pastry. ⠀
⠀
🌟Overall it’s a very well put together dish and I definitely felt very satisfied with the meal. It got a little heavy towards the end, but it might be because of the cup of Matcha Latte I had on the side. Would definitely drop by again soon to try their other brunch items.

I ordered the Buta Yaki Don which consists of glazed pork belly simmered in sweet buta sauce, a delicate runny onsen egg, sprinkled with with a pinch of chili powder for a little added kick and garnished with spring onions. I love my rice to be slightly moist, so I mixed it with the broken yolk and buta sauce, making sure that each grain was coated with the sweet sauce. The flavours were really well balanced, and for the price of $12, this is 100% worth it!

The Ikura Don with Spicy Salmon ($28) contains soy edamame, that adds a green contrast to the mostly bright orange dish and a slight crunchy texture. The donburi also comprises sweet Japanese sushi rice, salmon sashimi marinated with their special in-house spicy sauce, filled with a ton of ikura and topped with dried seaweed. The creamy salmon sashimi cubes melts in the mouth, while the heat of the spicy sauce creeps on you after a few seconds, creating a buttery yet slightly fiery sensation. Needless to say, I enjoyed receiving a refreshing burst of flavour from each spoonful of ikura.⠀

The Adora was made using apricot confit, fluffy almond sponge, almond mousse, Amaretto and topped with crunchy almond flakes and glazed apricots. Simple, light and slightly citrusy, this is one you won’t want to miss out on if you have some room left after a meal.

The Strawberry Tart had a delicate tart base filled with what seems to be baked pistachio pastry and strawberry jam. It was then topped with custard cream, Japanese Chitose strawberries, caramelised pistachio and soft pistachio cream. The pistachio taste was prominent but not too overpowering, and paired well with the sweet strawberries and custard cream. ⠀

Elegant twirls of capellini pasta infused with fragrant truffle oil, topped with finely chopped savoury konbu, caviar and sweet shrimps. Aromatic and umami packed, this pasta dish is one that you’d want to look out for when dining at D’Good CafĂ©.

đŸ„ŸOriginating from Cantonese cooking, Wonton Noodles has long been a popular dish across Asia. The dish is commonly served with leafy vegetables, wonton dumplings, char siew and hot broth (in this case without, because it’s takeaway)⠀
⠀
🍜Like any good wonton dish, springy egg noodles and tasty wontons are a must. The wonton noodle set also comes with two type of wontons, with the dried one providing an added crunchy texture. The noodles were not too dry which made slurping the noodles very satisfying, but the sauce was a tad salty. However, for the price of only $6, this was definitely a bargain!⠀

Tamago En is the very definition of an egg paradise. Every dish contains eggs, from their all-day breakfasts, salad & sandwiches, donburi & omurice and desserts! Seriously subarashii!⠀
⠀
Their Chicken Stew Rice and Omelette comprises fragrant Japanese rice covered with a silky, delicate layer of creamy omelette made with eggs imported from Okinawa. The golden “tornado” omelette dome is then surrounded by demi-glaze sauce, tender chicken pieces and broccoli. Oishi~⠀

We tried two of their sandwiches:⠀
🍗Crispy Fried Chicken (with black pepper sauce)⠀
đŸ„Ș Ham Cheese Sandwich (with thousand island sauce)⠀
⠀
🍞The sides of the toast were crispy while the middle remained fluffy. Best of all, you can eat this in peace without ever worrying that biting on it would hurt the roof of your mouth.⠀
⠀
đŸ„šI was pleasantly surprised to find an omelette in each sandwich (because obviously I didn’t check the description 😅) Having eggs also meant that you’d be less likely to go hungry after.⠀
⠀
đŸ„™Up to 4 different choices of sauce are available for customers to select from. The sauces were drizzled on the top and thank goodness the sandwiches were not doused in them. They were flavourful but not too overpowering, which complimented the sandwich very well! And if you’re as indecisive as me, fret not because they include recommendations for each sandwich!⠀
⠀
🌟Overall, I had a great experience there. If you ask me where to find good sandwiches I’d definitely recommend Butter Bean. For $6.80, you get the sandwich and a drink. Definitely value for money and kids would love it for sure!

☀Brighten up your day with Butter Bean’s “Curry on Sunshine”! I mean seriously: crispy fried chicken thighs, steamed rice blanketed with a silky, creamy omelette accompanied by a cup of the all-familiar Singapore-style curry to give that extra spicy kick? My day could not have been any brighter.⠀
⠀
🍛You can get all this for $6.80 (ala carte) or with a beverage of your choice for only $9! Don’t say I never jio. If you’re not going, I’m gonna be planning my next visit anyway!⠀

đŸŒ¶I was a little apprehensive before trying the Ebi Fry Ramen. There was no doubt that it was going to be delicious, but seeing the chili icon beside its name sent shivers down my spine. Despite my regular spice tolerance “training”, I was still afraid that I was going to spend half the time choking from the spiciness. However, that was not the case!⠀
⠀
🍜Though it’s yellowish-red broth might say otherwise, the intensity was milder than what I was expecting. Don’t get me wrong! The heat was definitely there, but it was just the right level where it was pleasant to slurp down scoop after scoop of this wonderous tonkatsu soup that was made using Hajime’s secret Sakura Ebi paste.⠀
⠀
🍖The main star of the dish for me though, were the sweet, succulent pieces of Loin Rib Chashu marinated with their special recipe sauce. The tender meat was the result of hours of braising and charred to perfection before being added to the dish.⠀
⠀
đŸ€On the side there was also the super crispy Ebi Fried Prawn that went amazingly well with the creamy in-house tartar sauce! Did you know that they make tiny slits into the flesh to make sure that the prawns stay straight while being fried? That is some serious attention to detail!⠀
