a slightly below average cup of coffee was quite hard to find as there was no unit 114 but it's this shop that says 112-116. the coffee was kinda disappointing, esp the hot expresso we ordered - taste of coffee was sooo mild it was almost like hot milk. the latte was as mid as it gets without much coffee fragrance or milkiness. wouldn't come back again even with burpple beyond. service was rly good though!

blink, and you’ll miss this tldr; this place is easily missed, and can be given a miss. Beyond makes the trip worthwhile, but i wouldn’t otherwise return. affordable coffee at $7 for 2 cups of oat latte, for what i would reckon as rather ordinary. i do feel the espresso shot was under-extracted, as the acidic taste was dominant especially in the iced oat latte. hot oat latte was alright though.

Iced latte $6, large hot latte $6 With the regular hot latte at $5, prices are pretty standard. Except it’s made much more affordable with Burpple beyond. Not the best coffee you can get in CBD but wouldn’t say no to a one-for-one if I’m in the vicinity.

beef lasagne ($21.90) look at that cheese pull 😍😍 this was suuuuuper cheesy and i nv thought i would think a lasagne has too much cheese but this one did LOL unfortunately the cheese to lasagne ratio was v off :( would’ve been so much better if there was more actual lasagne bc their beef and béchamel tasted rly good! had an enjoyable meal here. their service is v quick and they serve water, plus there’s 1 for 1! only downside is that the place is vv ulu. they also have a 30% off 2 pizzas deal which i want to come back and try!

1-for-1 Main @ Brotzeit Rating: 8/10 ⭐️ Mains Ordered: - Chicken Schnitzel with Spatzle ($28) The portion was huge, and the schnitzel came with cranberry jam & lemon which was really good pairing! We replaced the side with Spatzle, and it initially tasted "bland" but it grew on us after a few mouths & was really good! - Pork Knucle with Rosti ($19) This was a little on the smaller side, but it was really good. The rosti felt a little oily after awhile, but it wasn't gelak (for sharing 2 pax). This dish came w mustard, good pairing w the pork knuckle! Overall Damage with burpple beyond: $32 (inclusive of GST & $2 for 2 refillable water) 😆 Overall: We enjoyed our meal & the service was great & felt welcoming :) The portion was just right for 2 pax, without making us feel too full or still starving after the meal. The 1-for-1 main w burpple beyond is worth it, will be back! 😊

Pork Knuckle Rösti with Kale | $18 My go-to at Bread time when I want something of a smaller portion and more balanced. Surprisingly the quality can vary quite a bit also depending on which cuts of meats you get, the level of charring and the amount of fibre. This time the fat:protein ratio was much higher.

Good food but inaccurate Burpple Description unable to use any discount I had explicitly travelled down all the way for dinner, with the understanding as per the application that either the 1-1 Donburi or 30% off total bill could be used. 1-1 states in the terms and conditions “not applicable for lunch deal”, which I acknowledge. I was there during dinner time and I was not going to opt for a lunch deal. Prior to ordering, I checked with the waiter whether I could use the 30% or 1-1 donburi deal. To my surprise, he pointed that the donburi 1-1 was only for the premium donburi and NOT for the other regular donburis which were NOT part of the lunch deal — they were ala carte donburis that we can purchase during the dinner service so I don’t understand how it was a lunch deal to the restaurant. Worse thing is the 30% was only available for the SHARING PLATTERS, but on the app it clearly stated “not valid with 1-1 deal” which is reasonable but it’s basically inaccurate advertising that deserves a further compliant because it is unethical to use the Burpple platform and yet deny customers any use of the Burpple vouchers when they had already arrived at the resto. The food and service was good and we did not complain with the staff as I suppose company policy is not his fault, but this is highly unethical and Burpple should look into ensuring that the resto isn’t lying about their offers stated on this app as we have paid for Burpple subscription, how can the restaurant claim that every page on their menu that is NOT a lunch deal is still a “deal” except their premium bowls? And how can they indicate NO EXCLUSIONS on their 30% off total bill but inform guest that this is only for sharing plates but not mains? Why not for mains if they didn’t exclude on Burpple? Dishonest.

Deep Fried Pork Belly Donburi After enjoying myself at the recent Burpple #Eatup hosted by the good folks from Saketoshi, I was back to check out their regular menu. Saketoshi serves a really good 1-for-1 donburi deal from Monday to Thursday nights. We really enjoyed their deep fried pork belly donburi. The pork belly is first braised (a la buta kakuni). It is then deep fried to give it a crispy crust whilst the pork belly retains its melt in your mouth goodness. This was tbh surprisingly good!

𝐔𝐍𝐈 𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐄𝐌𝐏𝐔𝐑𝐀 ($𝟐𝟒 - 𝟐𝐩𝐜) a lovely combination of shoyu sea urchin, seaweed tempura and truffle caviar😋😋 Creamy, crispy, salty - a perfect appetiser to go w the rice bowls.

1-for-1 Vegetables (~save $24) Indulge in exquisite Chinese cuisine at Sky View Pavilion! Their extensive spread of Cantonese dishes are bound to impress all diners at the table. We’d recommend the Poached Seasonal Vegetable with Assorted Eggs in Superior Stock ($24 for small, $36 for medium, $48 for large) for sharing!

Pandan Layered Cake An old school styled cake with a twist. It's layered with kaya between making the cake very tasty and flavorful. Really yummy 👍👍👍

Prawns Done Two Ways The prawn bodies were sautéed and the heads were fried with salted egg yolk. Really tasty and interesting. A good way to eat the entire prawn without waste. Yummy 👍👍👍

Only worth it eating with burpple A REMINDER, don't forget that hotpot soup is chargeable. And it's the restaurant's right to restrict, but they stick to the rule of 2 person being able to claim one burpple deal (so instead of choosing seafood platter and meatball platter, we only went for the seafood platter) The seafood platter: 2 scallops 5 lala 3 mussels 3 prawns No issue with freshness, knowing prawns, I'm 100% sure they're fresh, and having eaten the others, I think they are too. Soup base (herbal half, laksa half) 15++ Seafood platter (2 for the price of 1, burpple deal) 30++ It seems almost insane that it's priced like that, call me a country bumpkin but is seafood so damn expensive that it's 30++ The hotpot soups is decent. The laksa meets my expectations, not unnecessarily coconut heavy nor was the flavour held back. The herbal soup was lighter and a good contrast, it does its best to look legit with the various herbs and roots, but starts becoming bitter at the end of the meal (nothing wrong with that in my opinion). I am not sure if the soup can be topped up, the meal was not so long that it became necessary to check (at 15++ I hope that diners can get free top ups). Food quality is good, but I conclude that without burpple, it's not worth your time and money (maybe even with burpple it's not worth it...).

Laksa hotpot! Wanted to use the Burpple 1-for-1s here but saw that they had a 20% off promotion for the month of June in celebration of their 16th anniversary. Their laksa broth is certainly not the rich and lemak kind you would expect from a true blue laksa store, but it's certainly spicy and coconutty enough that you can drink it as a soup without feeling jelat or like you just wrecked your digestive system. Nothing to shout about for the meat and vegetables, but I would recommend the meatball platter as the balls were meaty and delicious. Definitely give this a try.

Seafood Platter (~save $25) Are you a fan of both laksa and steamboat? If so, you’re bound to love San Laksa Steamboat! Pair their Signature Laksa ($10) soup base with their Seafood Platter ($25) which consists of 3 prawns, 3 baby octopuses, 3 scallops, 3 mussels, and 3 bamboo clams, and you’ll be in for a treat.

𝘽𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙋𝙚𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙣 𝙍𝙞𝙘𝙚 A quick grab n go meals before going to classes More "liao" than expected 🤪 Really savory, not too spicy the onsen egg just chef kisses

Looked like an oil spill Had a good experience here so made a repeated visit but it looked and tasted like an oil spill. Couldn’t finish the meal and looked at the bottom to find a pool of oil there. My guess is they didn’t drain the oil from the squid properly after deep frying. Wouldn’t go unless I need to gain weight.

Thai sweet sauce & Salted Egg Chicken $14.90 for 2 chicken, 2 rice, 2 drinks. Redeemed the chicken and drink coupons. Thai sweet sauce would hve worked better with fish. Salted egg sauce was sedapppp.

mocktails we used a burpple deal which was 1 for 1 for a main + drink (they said we could only order mocktails for this) so we got the mango day spring and summer kiss ($10 each). both were q nice and refreshing but i’m not a fan of these kinds of drinks so this made the deal not so worth for me. my bf rly enjoyed this place and would revisit whereas i found it not bad only but wouldn’t mind trying their other dishes

baked sea perch ($28.00) vv yummy when you combine all the elements of this dish into one flavour bomb of a bite! could do with more sauce though love love love their mashed potato and broccolini in both dishes, super tasty! would eat a whole bowl of mashed potato if i could 🤤🤤

classic lamb shank ($28.00) a decent dish! meat is v tender but slightly gamey. the sauce is good too but i probs wouldnt get this again

Don’t visit Don’t waste your time here. They didn’t start PREPARING our food even 45 mins after ordering.

Chuan chuan! Always ons for a good Chinese food place! This place has a good selection of chuan chuan and their dishes are also quite nice. Not that expensive or crowded :)

Food is ok reasonable . Service is real bad . Took 2 hours to serve all my orders The services were bad. Staff have attitude problem. They took 2 hours to serve my food
