Hoodadak who specialises in Korean fusion adds a twist to their ramyeon dishes. We LOVE the noodles and the broth so much! 😍 Trust me, it tastes as good as it sounds. But there's one thing that I don't understand, why is the chicken nuggets being used here instead of popcorn chicken? 😂

Be greeted by friendly home-grown Koreans and a casual dining area. Spotted many single diners happily indulging in their affordable lunch sets. From bentos 🍱 to jajangmyeon🍝. Whilst most people would be happy to tuck into their prettily-arranged bentos, I dived right into their JAJANGMYEON. And there couldn't have been a better choice made. The noodles were the right consistency and the black bean sauce was neither too thick or sticky like some places serve (I wouldn't say which). This is what I call authentic. Join me as I continue to uncover more eateries in CBD after the closure of golden shoe...

This restaurant serves the typical korean fare like bibimbap, stews, as well as korean barbeque. The staff and servers were koreans as well. I have never had jjajangmyeon before as the thick dark sauce always intimidates me, but this place somehow seemed to be a good place to try it out. The black bean sauce was delicious and rich, with plenty of chunky vegetable and pork. I found it too salty and kind of cloying after half a bowl, so I ate half and swapped it with my bf's bibimbap. The noodles were great, chewy and QQ. I will definitely try this dish again at other korean restaurants.
P.S. The kimchi was so good that I bought a small tub home.

[Muslim-Owned] This was a tough place to find! It’s nestled in a building that has a collection of addresses that begin with Benoi Road. This was 25 Benoi Road; it was wedged deep in the Tuas industrial areas, and it took me 30 minutes of driving just to get to it. I almost gave up on finding the place tbh! 😵

The food is really value-for-money ($4.50) that’s for sure. Not too smitten by its taste, however. It’s mainly because the salted egg sauce was too watery for my liking, though I did like its amount of spiciness. 🤑 My lips felt like they were burning, but I admit I’m a little bit of a masochist when it comes to spicy food. 🤯

I guess I wouldn’t go out of my way to get this again, but I’m glad to have tried it once. Maybe opt for their zi char or their Butter Cream chicken instead! (6.9/10)

Very popular Taiwanese cafe with taiwanese street staples such as Lu Rou Fan, Oyster Mee Sua and Beef noodles as mains. We were lucky to get a table within minutes but a queue of 7-8 groups quickly formed outside the cafe as we ate.

Nice and authentic, pricier than what you may be used to if you are a regular to Taiwan but hey, one of the better places in Singapore if you miss Taiwanese comfort food.

I came here with a mental checklist of the requirements for 'My Ideal Pasta', and the Spicy Rigatoni ($26 for ala carte/part of $36/45 lunch set menu) ticked all the right boxes. It's simple, really. Pork fennel sausage and smoked ricotta in a creamy and spicy sauce. Mmmm.

Personally, I feel that rigatoni outshines most other pasta varieties. You'll always find more meaty goodness hiding in those cylindrical vessels, and it truly ups the satisfaction level of one's pasta experience....or is it just me?

Special shoutout to the crispy bits - no idea what they are exactly, and I'm probably a fool for not knowing (or asking!) but those really helped in the overall textural complexity of the dish.

If it's steak you're in the mood for, this cosy 10-seater spot in Serene Centre (it shares the space with Sugarhaus) is perfect for the whole steakhouse experience at budget-friendly prices. It's certainly found a fan in Burpple Tastemaker Emily S, who has raving reviews of the meat. There are only two steaks on the menu — the Flat Iron ($22), which is leaner and offers great bite, and the Short Rib ($25), which has lovely marbling and a more decadent mouthfeel. The steaks arrive well seasoned, which warrants the acompanying chimichurri unnecessary, alongside a little bowl of house salad tossed in vinaigrette. Sides are priced at an additional $5 each, but worth the splurge. Consider the juicy Sauteed Thyme Mushrooms ($5) or luscious Guanciale Mac & Cheese ($5). Desserts still aren't stellar, so save your money for something else.
Avg Price: $25 per person

I ordered this expecting it to be exactly the same as the Atlas Coffeehouse one since they are run by the same owners. The Butterscotch Banana Pancake looks exactly the same. Taste wise though this one is more cakey. My preferred one is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I felt the fluffiness was overdone which undermined the nice vanilla ice cream. If you like fluffy cake-like pancakes which some people do, this might work for you.

This cafe exceeds expectations for me. Along south bridge and a 5 min walk from chinatown mrt station, grids and circles is located within a 3 storey shophouse with 2 accesible levels for cafe dwellers to lepak and makan. We ordered this strawberry pancakes which comes with whopping amount of fresh milk cream and cut strawberries,drenched with strawberry jam and maple syrup - one of the best pancakes that I had in a while.

As this was one of the highly raved dishes, I went ahead and got myself one! I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the gravy tasted exactly like laksa, with the pasta being a little bit thicker to mimic the noodles that were traditionally in laksa. The prawns (there were 5) were sufficiently juicy and succulent, and honestly they were the best part of the meal. I got this under the 1-for-1 Burpple Beyond which halved the price of this dish from $17. I believe it would be worth it if you were on Burpple Beyond, but perhaps give it a second thought if you were to order it without the offer.

Chocolate: 8” $38, 10” $58

Tucked along the narrow street of prata haven, Jalan Kayu, lies this unassuming cake shop. From afar it looks like one of those shady massage parlors from Chinatown. However, in it stood a big boned fella, brimming with confidence, as though he knows this will not be the last time you are here to buy his cakes. True enough, Jane’s cake station may seemed a little snobbish with only 2 flavors of cakes in its arsenal. But that is exactly how you know they are good. Jane’s chocolate cake standard is really decent. Except for that hint of saltiness that baffles me, the rest is simply impressive. Chiffon is moist not dry. Chocolate fudge is not too thin nor thick. The fudge also does not harden after long hours of chilling in the fridge unlike most fudge cakes, which is amazing! I personally prefer Jane’s over Lana’s. No offense to Lana lovers out there heh. Overall, i give it 4.5 chopsticks outta 5!
位於在惹蘭加由路中的店屋裡，居留了一個小蛋糕店。Jane’s 蛋糕店只賣巧克力以及榴槤口味的蛋糕。可見得店長對於自己蛋糕的水平十分有信心。巧克力蛋糕的威風濕潤而不會乾巴巴的。巧克力糕層在冰廚裡凍了幾小時也不會硬化。只是巧克力味道有一口不明的淡鹹味。但也蠻特別的吧！整體來說，我個人蠻喜歡Jane’s 的巧克力蛋糕 讚讚讚！

Got me so excited when I accidentally found this hipster cafe/coffeeshop at Anchorvale CC, because it made my trip all the way from the west to the northeast area even more worthwhile! I wished I had such a hipster CC in the west too. Spent a great evening dining, people watching at Legend as it is situated along the scenic Sungei Punggol and across the Sengkang Riverside Park. What's more, legend has live band performance at night, with both indoor and outdoor seating.

There's a wide selection of food; you could either go local zi char style or the western pizzas, pastas, mains. Cheap beers are available too! We had the meat lover platter which has portions just right for 2 people. Comes with:

1. Sirloin steak which you can specify how well you want it to be done
2. Juicy Cajun chicken that was marinated with spice and had a crispy layer of skin
3. Grilled pork chop that was tender, not too dry
4. Mashed potato with a smooth texture and savory brown sauce, not too buttery
5. Grilled pork sausage and grilled cheese chicken sausage which was my favorite of all because the cheese really bursts out upon cutting, and even more so in the mouth
5. A side salad amidst the meatiness

Help yourself to the sauces available such as black pepper, mushroom, mustard, chili, ketchup!
