🐮 Gyuniku Shiogayaki Don ($18) They're pretty generous with the beef slices, which were pretty thinly cut and soft - except that they were q fatty so depends on your preference for meat. The sauce here was also much less compared to the Unatama don so it might be drier at some parts.

Unatama Don ($12) This reminded of oyakodon because of the sweet saucey flavours, which I personally like. Unagi was q eh as it was thick but not as soft as I'd have liked.

Agedashi Tofu | $13 Deep fried tofu soaked in mirin based soya sauce, agedashi tofu is one of my must haves at izakayas. I love the spread of options at taan iza-bar, with some dishes being fusions of Korean and Japanese elements. This modern bar executes food decently well, and I haven’t really been disappointed. Though I do miss their soft tofu stew- which I think they took it off their menu🥲 Nonetheless, this tofu was one appetising side. Rate:🌟🌟🌟🌟

Raw Scallop Carpccio Served on a cold plate, the texture and taste is sooooo good. With a bit of truffle on top, the scallop just melts in your mouth. A must try!!!

Sashimi With Burpple Beyond Deal for 1-for-1 sashimi, we had salmon and swordfish sashimi that were served on ice with shredded daikon radish. The slices were fresh and relatively thick for a satisfying mouthfeel.

Chicken Karaage Donburi For lunch, it offers a menu of donburis and cutlets starting from $10. Each main comes with a side of salad, miso soup and rice.

Garlic Fried Rice Had the unagi don, and garlic fried rice using the burpple beyond deal, super worth it. The yakitori tho was kinda dry. So would recommend the dons more.

Quality tonkatsu! I love my tonkatsu, and I’m glad that @onkei.tonkatsu quality tonkatsu sets are able to fulfil my katsu cravings! The set for 2 available on Burpple Beyond ($39.90) consists of a variety of katsu that will definitely fill you up! The Pork Loin katsu was very crisp, and the meat within was meaty, quite succulent and slightly tender. Although it was not the most tender I’ve eaten, it is definitely one of the better ones. The Fish Katsu was actually much bigger and better, due to its fresh, sweet flaky meat that was really irresistible! The Ebi Katsu that comes with the set was very fresh and succulent within as well. The kaarage and fried oyster given were also so tender and flavourful that we wished there was more! The set also comes with rice, soup and cabbage that is refillable, and I’m glad those were available to cut through all the fat from all the delicious fried meats! Definitely a back I will be back whenever I have some katsu cravings!

Onkei Signature Katsu Set A local tonkatsu restaurant serving their signature katsu set with choice of pork loin, pork filler or chicken. I went for the 120g pork loin, accompanied by sauce, cabbage, rice and soup. The pork loin is tender and crispy, paired well with the brown sauce.

Shiok! The perfect meal if you’re super hungry and looking to indulge in some fried katsu. I had the Burpple meal, which was so filling and yummy. Overall it was less than $50 for 2 pax, which was so reasonable given that there’s so much food - and it even includes 2 fried oysters! Service was good too, and all the staff were really friendly and approachable.

Crispy-Fried Duck Wing Strips Bite-sized and coated with addictive 'mala' spice. The crispy and deep-fried strips are well-battered and not too oily with some tender duck meat underneath. Do note that there is more bone than meat and this should be treated as a very light bite snack 》$8.80

Duck Soup Noodles Springy noodles submerge in duck broth and topped with juicy duck meat. The taste of the broth was slightly herbal and reminded me of the broth from another duck instant noodle. The duck meat is fragrant, tender and juicy, accompanied well by the sauce and chilli 》$13.80

Half Duck ($35) Pretty good, met our expectations. Skin was crispy, meat was tender. Dips were great too, there was raspberry sauce, calamansi chilli, and yellow mustard. All had a different flavour profile and it was nice varying the dips with the duck meat. We visited on a weekend so we could get 15% off our bill with Burpple Beyond. If you visit on a weekday (Monday to Thursday specifically), you can enjoy 30% off the bill! Despite its atas menu, the restaurant looks quite unassuming, and the atmosphere is more of a cross between a restaurant and an eatery. Great for casual occasions!

👍🏼👍🏼 Waiting time for food is slightly longer, however gd things takes time. The food is 👍🏼👍🏼 super worth it with the burpple 25% off promo.

Double patty beef burger Good value, nice ambience.

Lacklustre Location: Difficult to locate due to the small font on the shop front. The beer board was much larger than their own signage. Food: Ordinary food, not even worth the Burpple discount. Had their Mushroom Swiss Burger and the Signature Rebel Beef Burger. The ingredients listed in the menu and in the burger that arrived seemed different. No salsa or guacamole on the Signature Burger at all. Do not recommend.

Unwind with Happy Hour against a perfect view of Telok Ayer Celebrated my partner's birthday at Qin as I heard many good reviews about the food here. Here's what we got: Chilli Crab Crostini ($20) - a layer of chilli jelly atop a medley of crab meat, avocado mash, and pomelo bits, served with 3 slices of toasted bread. The crab was so so good - so fresh and full of flavour, with the avocado adding a touch of creaminess and the pomelo giving pops of sweetness. Goes amazing with the bread too. However, the chilli jelly was just strange and we left it aside. Lapcheong Potato ($8) - A mix of small potato cubes and Chinese sausages in a mala sauce. Simple, but addictive. Would go great with alcohol. Sang Mein ($48) - This was amazing. We were both speechless at the rest bite and just wolfed this down without any words. The Capellini absorbed the umami-rich flavours of the prawn broth, made even richer by the crustacean oil and truffle scent. The 2 huge Red Leg Prawns were delicious as well. Tip: quickly start on this dish before the 'zhup' dries out! Phraya Rum Sticky Date Pudding ($12) - An Asian twist on the British classic, this was moist sponge cake topped with Gula Pong butterscotch (made from cane sugar hailing from Sarawak) and a scoop of Madagascar Vanilla ice cream. The staff torched the ice cream at our table, making for a dramatic finish to the dish. This was a sweet end to our meal. As I indicated that this was a birthday celebration, they also gave us a complimentary desert of the Sticky Date Pudding, albeit with a tangy cream. I unfortunately didn't get the components of this dish but this was great as well. All in all, we enjoyed the food and service at Qin very much, and do ask or a table by the windows as it gave us a view of the sunset, overlooking the hustle and bustle of the Telok Ayer shophouses. Fantastic ambience overall. It might be a little bit on the pricier side but you do get a quality experience. Otherwise, just go for the Happy Hour and starters/small plates.

Short Rib Gigantic pork rib that's pretty tender. Came with satay espuma sauce. Got 15% discount for all a la carte items.

SANG MEIN Featuring huge well-charred tiger prawns 🦐 atop thin vermicelli which has completely soaked up the essence of the broth, it was an explosion of umami flavours in every bite! 🤤 Served in a casserole to retain the heat 🔥, the addition of crustacean oil & truffle elevated the dish to a premium level. . So so tasty - highly recommended! 👍🏻👍🏻
