squid ink seafood paella ($34.00) and pork quesadilla ($18.00) squid ink seafood paella ($34.00): tbh this was q underwhelming bc the squid ink flavour was not v prominent. there were q a lot of ingredients but some of the mussels were kinda fishy so not the best. the portion is small so probs need to order sth else if you’re sharing between 2 ppl bc the layer of rice is v flat pork quesadilla ($18.00): rly enjoyed this! an ok option for spanish food in sg but nothing to scream about and i’ve had better elsewhere so i probs wouldn’t be returning any time soon

Potato Ah I know the potoato is a simple humble food but gosh it's surprised me by tasty like a yummy comfort Mac and cheese kind of food. If you love your carbs and potatoes, I highly recommend it.

Grilled Cod It's a decent dish. The prawn pretty large and the cod is grilled. I know it's their star dish but I didn't get swept off my feet. It tastes exactly like how cod would taste when grilled. No surprises. The sauce is pretty nice though. Can order if you are really in need of satisfying a cod fish craving. Otherwise I recommend trying the other dishes.

FRIED DUMPLINGS (군만두) Dumpling loaded with various ingredients; skin is thin & deep fried to crispy, tad oily; good for sharing..

JJAJANG MYEON (짜장면) Noodle is soft, not mushy, mild chewy; sauce is flavorful, thick enough to coat the noodles but not starchy; lots of chopped onions & minced meat in the sauce; shredded cucumbers help balance out the taste & add refreshing crunch to the dish; good & comforting bowl of black sauce noodle..

FRIED CHICKEN + GARLIC SAUCE (깐풍기) Big piece of meat covered with crispy batter & coated with garlic sauce; meat is very tender; batter is crispy but quite thick; not greasy; sauce is flavorful, towards sweet side..

Starting my weekend right at @carol_mel_cafe with my favourite matcha latte done by barista @damien_tc 🍵 As @carol_mel_cafe will be closed after this Wednesday, Valentine's Day. Do visit them soon to get your last dosage of matcha and shiok food! 🍵 Really hope to patronize @carol_mel_cafe in the near future again! 🍵 Nothing can replace the love I have for your Katsu curry waffles and matcha latte ❤️😍😱

Mao Shan Wang Durian Creme Brûlée The staff at Carol Mel Cafe recommended the Mao Shan Wang Durian Creme Brûlée (S$9.00), and I seriously wonder why they did not want to put this in their menu. For those who thinks size matters for their dessert, this bowl may seem to be a tad mini to the eyes. However, its taste that’s rich of MSW durian, and the solid layer of torched sugar on the top is beyond words. If you are a hardcore durian lover, please eat one portion by yourself. And yah. Why is it not listed in their menu?

Thanks Damien!

Cajun Chicken Aglio Olio ($14.90) If you're looking for a Muslim-establishment that serves up decent pasta, I am... cafe has got your back! One of the OG cafes in the area, I am... serves up simple, yet hearty dishes, ranging from pastas, to burgers and many more! With #BurppleBeyond, we were only able to select from the pasta section & went for the Cajun Chicken Aglio Olio. This dish packed a punch with their Cajun seasoning but did not overpower the entire dish. The spaghetti was lightly tossed in olive oil, and topped with a grilled Cajun chicken-a simple yet tough dish to master.

Penne Pesto Pasta ($15.90) Located at the entrance (from North Bridge Road) of Haji Lane, I am... cafe can be easily spotted from afar with it's large signage and Alfresco-like dining space. As a Muslim-owned establishment, their dishes are made accessible to more cafe-goers who enjoys visiting this area! An early lunch meant that we could grab a seat at this popular cafe and we ordered the Penne Pesto Pasta ($15.90). It comes with perfectly booked penne served with a large portion of grilled chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, olives and pesto herbs. The chicken was pre-shredded, but still retained some moisture to ensure that it's tender. The pesto was well-balanced without being too salty and the sun-dried tomatoes added a nice sour tang to the dish. Overall, a satisfying dish to re-order when I visit! Thankfully with #BurppleBeyond, we got this at 1 for 1, so my pasta was half the price, definitely worth it!

Good For Groups! Pastas and Burgers all taste super good! I recommend Cajun Chicken and Chicken pesto if you're getting the 1-for-1deal. They have several seating for groups of 4-6.

Fish with macadamia crust The fish was fresh and soft, and the crust complimented it really well! Really enjoyed this! We ordered 3 main dishes, and 2 desserts (so we could use a Burpple deal, and it was about $30/person) pretty worth it!

Keto Brownie This legit taste super super good, even on a normal brownie scale. The chocolate was fudgy but not sticky, and it wasn’t too sweet either which went very well with the ice cream! The other items on the menu also looked pretty good and decently priced for a restaurant with a nice ambiance! Would come back again to try their other food!

Plant based Crab pasta Again, taste exactly like crab! Pasta was decent.

Prosciutto E Rucola I ordered this Prosciutto E Rucola (S$30.00) through the Oddle Eats platform, and this was one of the more satisfying takeaway pizzas to date. The dough was to my liking: airy and not too dense, with a good balance of crustiness to every bite. It was very nice of them to have packed the arugula and shaved parmigiana separately so that the greens remained raw when served. Apart from the parma ham, another important element was the sauce tub of chilli oil that accompanied the pizza. I’m sure many would agree that one tub was barely enough to go with the pizza, because it could make the already-delicious pizza even more mouth-watering.

Tonnareli Nero 28++ One of the best I've had as of 7/7/21. This tiny portion costs 28++ so savour it slowly but damn the sauce was so full of crab essence. Can only imagine the hours that went into it. Must try! We had pizza and bread so this portion worked for the two of us(anything larger and we wouldn't have finished). Cicheti serves restaurant quality Italian at restaurant prices but at such an ulu place. Their food is fortunately a cut above the rest though so the prices are kind of justified

Chili Oil Off menu. Request for it to go with your pizza. It was uh-mazing. I'm really glad the chili is real, there's quite some heat so it isn't just oil. There's a distinct Asian influence, almost sort of a mild funk to it but the edge is taken away since it's only an infusion. Good to enjoy by dipping the crust in, esp for monsters that usually throw the crust away

Interesting and delicious cocktails Service was good too, the staff recommended us drinks based on our preferences and specially arranged them in the nice tiki cups that we wanted!

Baja fish tacos and more! The food here is so so good! All the tapas and tacos were great. The vibes here was also super nice, feels like you’re in a different country.

Sweet potato fries w spicy mayo THIS IS THE BOMBS. The sauce omg so so good. 10/10 recommend, you won’t regret.

Matcha Soufflé Delish 🤤

Striploin Donburi ($23.90) Overall: 7/10 Miam miam's beef donburi has its highs and lows. The beef was seasoned well and really tender. Despite not having a good sear/crust, it still stood out and I enjoyed it. Together with the rice, onsen egg and pickles, this was a satisfying bowl with a portion that was just right. The price, however, is definitely steep for this bowl. At $23.90 and for the cut of meat, the price is definitely steep for this bowl. Competitors do edge this one out, and perhaps a lunch set could fix this issue. I might come down to have this once in a while, but it would be a tough sell despite nailing the beef. #food #lesgomakan #sgfoodie #sgfood #donburi #japanesefood #japanese #miammiam

famous french toast ($10.80) whipped cream was light, toast was not too eggy nor too bread-y. overall a yummy dessert!!

For peanut butter lava cake Not too happy with the service standards here possibly because it's closing down and all, but their peanut butter lava cake was true to its reputation! It was crisp on the outside but chewy on the inside, oozing a delectable combination of rich chocolate and peanut butter. I urge you to try it out before its last day, you definitely won't regret it. Oh, and on the side their spiced fries had a sort of citrus-y zest to it which I liked too.

Foie Gras Flatbread Foie Gras Flatbread ($24) Seared foie gras chunks, mixed berries compote, melted Gruyere cheese, parsley on baked flatbread. Available at @East8 Somehow it tasted more like a dessert with its sweet taste, covering the fatty, slight bitter taste of foie gras. | | East 8 Address : 10 Coleman Street, # 01-21/22 Grand Park City Hall, Singapore 179809 Tel : 6338 8289 Open : Mon-Thu : 12pm-3pm, 5pm-11pm Fri : 12pm-3pm, 5pm-12am Sat : 6pm-12am Note : Last day of operation : 23 Jan 2016.

ALT from East 8 - avocado and lemon on yellowfin tuna chunks. You will gobble this chee cheong fun-esque delight like a famished cat - the thickly gooey, sweet and citrusy avocado pairs marvellously with the slickly marinated yellowfin tuna chunks, whilst elsewhere the sesame fragrance pops with more assertive allure than the obscenely grabby smell outside Knightsbridge. 4.5/5

Pork Ribs ($19) Half slab Aussie Pork Ribs. The meat taste very flavorful, tender and juicy. Thumbs up!👍🏻

Dry-aged Grass-fed Irish Beef. Dry-aged Grass-fed Irish Beef. Compared to grain-fed varieties, grass-fed beef tastes much more robust. #beef #meat #steak #foodporn #sgfood #ilovemyjob #burpple
