Finally got to try the Salmon Mentai Don ($10 for regular size) after hearing so much about this place. Salmon sashimi slices were torched and charred to perfection, which worked in tandem with the creamy yet slightly spicy dollop of mentaiko sauce atop. The Japanese rice here was commendable too — vinegary enough to cut through the heaviness of the other ingredients without being too acidic. For $10, the quality that one gets for this dish here is definitely a steal! Can't wait to be back to try out their other offerings (their maki's maybe?)!
The grilled chicken thigh was tender and succulent, further enhanced by a top layer of melted mozzarella that was thick and gooey. The kimchi added a tangy note with a lingering spiciness which was also crunchy and refreshing! The gouchujang sauce also added a sweet-spicy flavourful note to the plain white rice. Unfortunately, the onsen egg that was supposedly included in this rice bowl was absent 😢 Thank god I managed to obtain it as a separate side upon request! 🙏🏻One of the essentials in my daily diet- the soft, fragile and runny yolk was a pleasant feast for the sight and sense, providing some moisture and flavours to the white rice as well! Portion is satisfying and filling for one, though I must admit the price is pretty steep for a rice bowl. Really adore the minimalistic, sleek interior of the cafe that's welcoming and spacious (but not if you visit during the peak hours with office lunch crowd 12-2pm)! .

Situated among the neighborhood, this Thai restaurant is packed during dinner time. So lucky that we didn't have to wait long.
Let's see what's on our table.
Pineapple rice ($6 for small) serves as our main, love the lightly-flavoured rice.
We had 3 dishes consisting of Basil Pork (S$7), Green curry chicken (S$9) and Egg with Thai raddish (S$8). My fave has got to be the basil pork! Goes really well with rice! Green curry has plenty of tender chunks of chicken, though a little rich. Egg with Thai raddish is actually scrambled eggs with chai por, nothing too outstanding though.
Round up the meal with a bowl of red ruby (S$3). I am loving this place for its affordable (no service charge and GST!) and yummlicious Thai cuisine! Highly recommended 👍👍

A humongous donburi filled with wholesome goodness like wagyu beef steak, cracking roast pork and mentaiko salmon.

Counting down 8 hours to forest life for the next 3 day 🌳🌳🌳.
Hot chocolate, truffle fries, and breakfast platter :)
Tame your next sweet craving at this quaint new cafe in Serangoon (it's down the road from Cafe Plain Jane). KOOKS Creamery specialises in molten lava cookies ($5.50 each) — soft-centred cookies holding luscious, oozy centre. Their hand-crafted ice cream (from $3.60 a scoop) is pretty good too! For best value, get the Lava Cookie Set ($8.50), which sees either a chocolate or matcha lava cookie topped with a scoop of ice cream. Get creative with pairing ice cream flavours, or be inspired by Burpplers who seem to love pairing the cookies with nougat, Ferroro Rocher and lemon curd ice cream. Yum!
Avg price: $10 or less

Char Siew, HK-style Wanton, potato-wrapped prawn, oozing Onsen egg and yummy noodles. So what if they increased the price a little? This was still value-for-money what you'd get in the bowl.
Signature Claypot Tomyum Mama ($12.90 NETT) - loved the spicey-ness of the broth with Mama Maggie Mee that was of the right amount of heat for me (customisable amount of spiciness and sourness). Came with clams, prawns, yummy meatballs, sotong and (small amount) crab meat!
The person said this Pot was good for 2 but I could definitely finish one all by myself! Will be back for this again 🤗
Situated on the third floor of Wisma Atria, Picnic is a Marché-like place great for catching up with friends over a meal in a picturesque setting. The sprawling space resembles a picnic in the park, with astro-turf lining the floor, food truck setups and floor-to-ceiling man-made trees with draping vines. At the entrance, you’ll be presented with a buzzer — hold on to this because it is what you will use to order your food from the various food trucks. There’s a wide variety of items offered here, so even the pickiest eater will find something to eat! Head straight for the Pizza and Pasta Food Truck and order the value for money Seafood Pizza ($15). It comes generously topped with shrimp and squid, and is great for sharing among four. Skip the tempting rosti and stick to the crowd pleasing Beer-Battered Fish and Chips ($15) instead — opt for truffle fries as your side at no extra charge!
Avg Price: $15 per person

Ever since Matchaya, every trip to Tanjong Pagar ends on a sweet note with one of their soft serves. Gorgeously bittersweet, I loved the intensity of matcha flavours here in its thick, fragrant creamy swirls. Have never yet been disappointed with Matchaya's offerings thus far and can't wait for even more flavours to be introduced!
