These Nem Nuong ($3.90+ for 2 sticks) are not to be messed with. Their secret recipe pork balls definitely have won my heart, and make me constantly want to come back time and again for more.
The place is generally nice & affordable, with Beef/Chicken pho going at $9.90+ per bowl and tasting 262816282x better than those mainstream stalls (which shall not be named) and the broth is super rich & flavorful!! Other must trys include their fried spring rolls ($3.50+ for 3) and salted lemonade (this is legit damn bombz). Heard the cockles are good too but never had!! Really worth the try yet super gentle on your wallet!
A true westie's pain is trying to find a good, nice place to eat that does not close before dinner. Found out about this place while mindlessly scrolling through Burpple and finally had a chance to try it with the fambam!
(clockwise from top) It'll be a waste if you come here and give a miss on their beef! The ribeye steak ($25) tho pricy was super juicy & succulent! Carbonara ($10) was a no brainer. Affordable priced, looked great, tasted FANTASTIC. Lastly, the Chicken Chop ($10) was soooo well done. Unknowingly gobbled it down so quickly because of how easy it was to peel the meat from the bone & the mash... omg, heavenly. Ended up trying the white snapper with quinoa ($15) too, and would definitely recommend it as well!! Overall, just try everything HAHAHAHA can't wait to be back!
Though the blend of frozen fresh strawberries & the milk in their Strawberry Hokkaido Milk ($6.90) was not bad, the handcrafted ice popsicle didn't meet up to my expectations and was rather expensive as well.
When the ocean meets the farm, you get the delectable Crab Benedict ($19.90). Enjoyed their chive hollandaise very much, and found this a good take on the typical eggs ben!
Also had the Duck Confit Hash ($20.90) - shredded duck leg confit on a well fried potato rosti and poached egg with their delicious hollandaise sauce as well! Personally felt the duck confit was slightly too salty, but the crispy rosti definitely compensated for it!
Might be slightly high on the price scale, but worth a visit for those who are looking for more interesting takes on the typical cafe food!
Had their popular Truffle Yakiniku Don ($14.80++) and can definitely understand why everyone loves it! Generous serving of pan seared US black angus short rib drizzled with truffle soy sauce that didn't overpower the dish ((like how it would in many other truffle dishes)) - accompany that with a wallet-friendly price and you have a winner.
The Lychee Fizz ($5++), however, was rather disappointing as it lacked any lychee flavour and was just very bland.
Tried their classic signature rice donut with cookie butter soft serve ($14) but found it slightly pricy - especially the rice donut which was $9 and not particularly yummy in my opinion. The cookie butter ice cream was a nice & unique flavour tho, but really wished there were more to choose from (there's only 2 flavours monthly)
The Tropical Brûlée ($13.80) - chocolate waffles & vanilla ice cream (a combi that can never go wrong), accompanied with a delicious banana brûlée and a crème caramel topped with almond flakes & chocolate sauce. Personally felt that the caramalised banana wasn't that great, but everything else on the plate was not only great but beautifully presented.
Accompany that with a refreshing cup of Passionfruit Lime Lychee Homemade Iced Tea ($6.90) and the calm breeze by the river & you have the perfect weekend spot to just chill and read a book (or not).
Note: The kitchen is closed between 2:45pm-4pm on weekends & PHs, and only desserts & drinks will be served during this period. The location is unfortunately also not very accessible if you're traveling by public transport :(
Supposedly the best in SG!!
Restaurant is ran by very polite Koreans, service was great and yummy sides and drinks were also provided! Portion was good with a very generous serving of the black bean sauce.
$12++, but was sadly the only affordable thing in the menu :(
Tried the large flower bowl ($14.90) for the first time! Still preferred the nutty bowl, but the larger variety of fruits in this one makes this one feel a lot healthier, and definitely more photo worthy! 📸
Have came here to have their linguine ($16) and crispy honey wings ($10 for 8) multiple times, and never once disappointed!! A must try in my opinion!!
