Hailing from New York and one of the hottest dining destinations in Singapore right now, Lucali BYGB is a partnership between Mark Iacono from Lucali and Gibran Baydoun of BYGB Hospitality. The famed item in the menu is without a doubt, their pizza and true to the original restaurant, the current menu only contains a single pizza item, the Our Original 18” Pie ($55), a Neapolitan pizza with a tomato base topped with mozzarella cheese and fresh basil. You can choose to add-ons other ingredients such as pepperoni, anchovies, onions, sweet peppers, mushrooms or olives at $5 each. Overall, this is a dining destination that is suitable for a date or an outing with friends or family as the portion size is suited for sharing. Though the price tag of a pizza might put off some, do note that the 18” pie comes with 8 slices of almost palm-sized pizza that will feed 2-3 pax comfortably. The restaurant also has a limited selection of appetizers, salads, pastas and desserts, including a good range of wines to pair alongside your pizza. •••••••••••••••••••• ✨ Lucali BYGB 📍 66 Kampong Bugis, Level M, Singapore 338987 🍴 [Not Sponsored]

For Famous Pizza From Brooklyn That's right, the famed pizzeria Lucali from Brooklyn is here in Singapore in a partnership between pizza guy Mark Iacono and Gibran Baydoun of BYGB Hospitality. Expect a variety of pastas, salads, and calzone on the menu. And of course, the Original 18″ Pie ($55), a classic with just tomato sauce, cheese, and basil - perfect with a bottle of wine while admiring the Kallang river. Photo by Lucali BYGB

Pizza With A View Very expensive pizza here, at $55 for an 18-inch pie, and that's before additional toppings ($5 each) like pepperoni, mushrooms, and anchovies. Strong tomato flavour with nice large crust and chewy base. Solid pizza but not too life-changing. Great vibes though, as you're overlooking the Kallang River.

For Novel Italian Creations On Keong Saik From the group behind Bang Bang and Employee's Only comes Bar Milano, a new establishment along Keong Saik Road serving up rustic Italian fare at fair prices (~$20). Burppler Xing Wei Chua counts this as "a spot that would work well for dates to impress," with dishes such as the Shakshouka-style Baked Eggs ($14), Burrata & Honey Roasted Peaches ($28), and Pugliese ($18), a pizza with roasted broccolini, anchovy, and confit garlic cream.

Uova in Purgatorio Shakshouka-style Baked Eggs, Spicy Arrabiata, Roasted Pepper and Onions, Pesto, Garlic Toast From Bar Milano; a new Italian establishment that had recently opened its doors at Keong Saik Road. This item comes off their Day Menu, and can be found in the “Breakfast” section of the menu. Really enjoyed how rustic this dish felt — nothing is more comforting than having baked eggs in Shashouka-style, but the Uova in Purgatorio stands out from the other Shashouka-style dishes we have had for a simple reason; the way that the toasts go hand-in-hand with the baked eggs. Giving the Shakshouka-style Baked Eggs a good mix, the baked eggs come with a good contrast of flavors — the bright tang of the tomato used in the Arrabiata against the slight herb-ish zing from the Pesto, the baked eggs provide a richness to the various elements when mixed together. We particularly enjoyed how the tomatoes in the dish came with a soft bite without feeling particularly squishy, providing the baked eggs with a myriad of textures alongside the roasted bell peppers. Dipping the sourdough toast into the baked eggs, we absolutely loved how the exterior of the toast remains crusty even despite being soaked in all of that tangy and zippy goodness, whilst also providing a good chew — a plus point considering how we have had some Shashouka-style baked egg dishes that came with toasts that turn limp after absorbing the sauces. A very well-thought and put-together dish that was simple yet wholesome, but showcasing knowledge and understanding of the various elements that come together which leaves an impression. Despite being a spot that seemingly serves up rustic Italian fare that comes with a certain level of quality, the prices here are pretty fair without breaking the wallet — think sandwiches and breakfast items with prices around or even below $20, and desserts averaging around $10. A spot that would work well for dates to impress!

For DIY Bowls Build your own bowls at YoBo (from $8.90), a fancy little joint with a little garden right beside to soak in some Vitamin D. Their bowls are fully customisable, and you pay per portion for any combination of carbs, proteins, and sides, including baked dory, kale chips, and honey soy chicken. Burppler Zac Lee recommends adding on their creamy and smooth broccoli purée for an extra fifty cents. Photo by Burppler TW Teo

Protein Bowl ($10.90) Visited Yobo for the first time and ordered a medium size protein bowl (one for one with burpple beyond ). You can bet that it’s super healthy and filling. Love the chill vibes at this restaurant, and if you fancy you can even sit at the little garden right beside to soak in some vitamin D.

Build Your Own Bowl! Got the salmon, roasted cauliflower, egg whites, broccoli and pasta, with cheese for the topping. Everything was excellent, especially the salmon and roasted cauliflower. So much flavors from roasting both dishes. Only gripe is the pasta - a tad too al dente for my liking.

Chocolate Platter 1 For 1 Using Burpple Beyond $14 Loved their chocolate dessert here. The dessert is warm and matches so well with the cold chocolate ice cream. If you done here, you get the natural light coming in as well. Loved the ambience as you relax and watch the crowd go by. What an enjoyable afternoon high tea without breaking the bank!

Chocolate Platter With Brownies, $14, 1 For 1. Great deal. Can pair with the chocolateplatter set with chocolate ice cream and desserts. Wow! Chocolate heaven

Comfort Drink: Hot Choco Opted for 1-for-1 Single Origin Hot Chocolate, with one cup of 68% Ghana and another 75% Costa Rica. The cup with 68% Ghana is slightly more on the sweeter side with a hint of nutty taste while the other one is slightly more bitter, much to my liking! The chocolate is quite thick and doesn’t feel watery. Would most likely be back again to try the other menu.

Stick to the drinks Their drinks really set them apart from other stalls, they’re unique and I would say, distinctively better. Their traditional drinks are done really well, especially their coffee. I picked up a 𝐊𝐨𝐩𝐢 ($𝟏.𝟓𝟎), opting for the Siew Dai (50% sugar), which i recommend since their original tends to be a little sweet. The coffee was rich and aromatic, with a deep flavour you don’t find in your usual hawker kopi! I haven’t tried many of their modern drinks but their 𝐘𝐮𝐚𝐧 𝐘𝐚𝐧𝐠 ($𝟏.𝟕𝟎) was delicious! The 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐢 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐤 𝐓𝐞𝐚 ($𝟐.𝟓𝟎) is very sweet, as with their other drinks, but you can pick your sugar level, and it was nonetheless what you’d expect from a good thai milk tea! Their portions, even for the regular size, are very generous! On the other hand, I wouldn’t say that their food is something to shout about. The 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐚 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐤 𝐓𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭 ($𝟓.𝟏𝟎 for the set) is a unique twist on the usual kaya toast, with a matcha spread. It was smooth and milky, with a rather subtle matcha flavour, and I think that the flavours were overall too subdued. It’s just not flavourful enough, a novelty item that I wouldn’t prefer over any kaya toast. Their 𝐊𝐚𝐲𝐚 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭 was alright, but my complaint is that the toasts were rather soft, lacking a crisp bite. IG: @eggeatsbread

Iced Coffee I'm not a coffee person, but for kopitiam standard, this cup was flawless - and cheap.

Eggs & Toast Generous portion of toast & drinks. Slabs of butter to go along with peanut butter and kaya. 1 for 1 makes it even so much worthwhile. But will be patronising again even after the promo ends. Very good service too!

salmon scramble the sourdough was crispy and perfect. the scrambled eggs was soft and tasty - not too dry, just right :) perfect for brunch indeed.

Hearty Korean food at a neighbourhood cafe Tried their jjangmyeon, we give it an average rating. Army stew is okay too. Have called few days early to make a reservation and we arrived before our time. Utterly upset when we were assigned a corner wall table with barely enough space to fit a stew pot for 3 people. It was a hazard if we didn’t request to sit outside instead. Hope they provide better service for reservation.

Absolutely love a quiet lunch here! The earl grey chocolate served with cotton candy is enjoyable. A great spot to work from cafe as well, since there is no crowd during lunch time on weekdays lunch.

Mala Ppong (pork) ($17.90++) First time trying their mala ppong and I really love it!! Mala lovers would enjoy this! The soup really has the mala taste and there’s really a kick, and not suitable for people who can’t take spicy food because you can’t choose the spice level for this. As usual, the noodles at nipong naepong can never go wrong, very chewy and yummy. Would order this again!! Bad thing is that there is always a long queue and we waited for around an hour to get a seat on an ordinary weekday, so be prepared to wait!

Do you know that April 14th is called “Black Day” in Korea, mostly observed by singles? That is because Valentine’s Day is celebrated on February 14 (when women buy men gifts); while White Day is celebrated on March 14 (the men will reciprocate). And for singles who did not get any presents or love those two days, they will ‘celebrate’ by wearing black and eating black Jajangmyeon to drown their sorrows. Jajangmyeon 자장면 is a delicious Korean noodle dish topped with a thick sauce made of chujang (black bean sauce), diced pork, and vegetables, with origins from the Chinese’s Zha Jiang Mian. Don’t be sad, okay? Here are some Korean restaurants in Singapore which serve up black Jajangmyeon, some are offering islandwide delivery: bit.ly/jajangmyeonsg #DFDNoodles

5/10 Chicken Pad Thai: cheap, value for money eat. Nothing to shout out but no complains either.

Tom Yum seafood fried rice set ($8.80), Garlic honey chicken with rice set ($8.80), Golden square tofu ($6), add-on Tom Yum soup ($2). Each set comes with a choice of Thai milk tea or Thai iced lemon tea. @popejaithai, a Thai casual dining restaurant and a social enterprise that supports 8 different beneficiaries through training and employment. They are also helping private hire drivers during this covid-19 period. Read generally positive reviews about them, and with quality food at nett pricing, there’s nothing more that I would ask for. Their Tom Yum dishes were filled with herbs; lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves were distinctly found even in the Tom Yum seafood fried rice. The Tom Yum soup was slightly on the spicy side, but not to the extent of leaving your stomach burning. As one of the popular dishes from Pope Jai Thai, the garlic honey chicken was pretty interesting. It somehow tasted like bak kwa, probably due to the honey, but at the same time exuded a mildly fragrant garlic aroma. Even as the food had turned slightly cold due to delivery, the fried chicken was still flavorful and retained its juiciness. It was just a pity that it was cold, same for the Tom Yum soup. One appetizer to try is the golden square tofu, that had the sweet Thai chili and chopped peanuts as condiments and toppings. I liked that their Thai milk tea wasn’t overly sweet as they had told me it was of a fixed sugar level. However, what was intriguing was even the Thai iced lemon tea without the condensed milk, tasted just like the Thai milk tea! #savefnbsg #loveyourlocalsg

Delicious Thai Food With Great Variety Pope Jai Thai's menu is pretty extensive. They have set meal deals (main + drink), a la carte mains, zhi-char style dishes for sharing, appetizers, & dessert too of course. I was happy with the food I ordered: · Phad Thai Set (Seafood) with Thai Lemon Tea (Cold) - $8.80 nett · Stir Fried Tanghoon Set (Vegetables) with Thai Milk Tea (Cold) - $8.80 nett · Homemade Thai Prawn Cake (3 pieces) - $8.80 nett · Clear Tom Yum Glass Noodle Soup (Seafood) - $8.80 nett · Garlic Honey Chicken (Large) - $15 nett · Garlic Baby Kailan (Medium) - $11 nett I usually don't like paying for delivery, but their $5 delivery fee (min. $20 spend) is reasonable. Delivery service was also satisfactory; my food arrived on time (within the 30 minute window - in fact, at 12:22PM when I requested for 12:15PM delivery!). My soup was shrink-wrapped at the top to avoid spillage, & the dispatch rider had stored my food in an insulated bag (warm & cold in 2 separated bags) during the ride 👍🏻 Would order from them again & when circuit breaker period is over, I'd like to pay their dining establishment a visit too - they're conveniently located at *SCAPE.

Delicious Porridge Few years ago, when I was working and Bukit Timah is one of the pit stop before changing bus to go home, I would visit this porridge stall which is at the end of the hawker. When I jio to Bukit Timah, this is the stall I went straight. I'm not sure of the name but this stall is near a satay stall and this ceuntry egg & lean pork only cost $3 with so much ingredients. It is so worth it.

Satay Beehoon You could immediately spot this satay beehoon stall with the never ending snaking queue 😂 but to be fair the queue moves quite fast! This satay beehoon was just so sinful and so fragrant 😭 there's no such thing as not enough gravy when it comes to satay beehoon because the gravy is the star of the show 🤪 the gravy is nutty, savoury, alittle creamy and paired so well with thin beehoon soaking in all the sauce 😭 been missing this ever since and definitely a must get when I head there again ♥️

My First Ever White Carrot Cake Have never liked white carrot cake because I'm scared of the eggy taste but this famous store only sells the white version so decided to give it a try. BEST DECISION EVER. No eggy taste, very fragrant with generous savoury caipo (preserved radish) but what made this white carrot cake stand out was how it's so crisp on the outside but remains so soft inside 😍 like that they also offer various amount of serving options starting from $2.5 and above so you could choose whether to share it or have it all by yourself 🤪

Carbo loading time! Nice and affordable Thai food! Tried the spicy tomyam soaghetti and pad Thai 😍😍 #athaiaffair @burpple #burpple

Good Food. Affordable Prices. Chanced upon this place, great place for dinner and lunch. It’s authentic, delicious and has that home cooked feel. It’s just a pity that the guy running it has a perpetual shit face and doesn’t smile.
