Horrible, Condescending Staff As another Burppler has pointed out, HORRIBLE SERVICE AND TREATMENT BY THE BURLY INDIAN WAITSTAFF. Went there around 11.30am, no indication on the app whatsoever that we have reserve through here in order to use the voucher. The wait staff talked down to us since we didn’t follow their non-existent instructions properly. When we asked whether we could dine in without using any vouchers, he said “oh yes then you are very welcome”. Does that mean we were not welcome before…? I get it that they’re serving many rich expatriates and other club members, but if they have so many considerations and no lack of well-paying customers, maybe…. Don’t partner with Burpple…? Location is quite out of the way with not many other dining options nearby, but I still left as I did not want to continue to dine there after being slighted by the “burly Indian staff”.

Chicken Burger & Hawaiian Pizza bought the chicken burger & hawaiian pizza with burpple 1-for-1 for dinner. the ambience is great especially with the sunset and nature surrounding the restaurant! the chicken burger is of a generous serving and flavourful, definitely worth getting! however, the hawaiian pizza is rather mediocre and tasted like microwaved pre-made ones, so would recommend giving that a miss instead. would definitely come back again for their burgers and the amazing location!

Well That Was Uncalled For [Update: They blocked me on Instagram after I gave them feedback 🤡] I love Burpple Beyond & still do, & this is thankfully by no means the norm, but I get majorly peeved when merchants give an attitude to customers… Such as what I experienced today with Camden Hill's awful service standards & zero attempt any sort of recovery. It’s not so much the inability to redeem the deals here in itself, but how we were treated & made to feel. Didn’t get the burly male Indian waitstaff’s name, but it doesn’t matter because it’s not like we’ll be back so bye have a good life. When I was clarifying the T&Cs which he snootily pointed me to, he cut me off mid-sentence & said “yes, I KNOW. I was the one who was msging you on WhatsApp last night” - wow rude to not let me finish but ok. So today we confirm, ladies & gentlemen, pls make a PHONECALL because using your phone to text the mobile number isn’t enough. Because they can’t be arsed to acknowledge or reject the next morning. I admit, it’s last minute on my part, but if he’d explained that to us nicely/professionally, we can accept it. Oh, & it would’ve been great if you had let me finish my sentence. Basic courtesy & common decency I would think? (May be giving you too much credit Sir - for that I apologize) Also, while it says that these deals are valid 11AM onwards, it was communicated to us that Burpple Beyond deals AREN'T valid for 11AM-2PM. Just putting this out there so that everyone can be aware. I do hope they act upon my feedback to sort this out with #Burpple to update this in the app. I don't feel it's an efficient way to only reveal this when a phone booking is made. I really count my blessings that we changed our original decision to patronise Camden Hill for my dad’s birthday on another (earlier) date. They didn’t allow us to pre-order takeaway for collection at Burpple Beyond, which was odd but more importantly quite inconvenient for us, so we changed our plans. Glad this didn’t ruin any special occasion today. May other diners have a more pleasant experience here, should they choose to make the arduous trek here. & hope they find it worth the effort. Oh & hey, FYI, your SafeEntry sign has a glaring typo. You might want to fix that too.

Matcha Azuki Crossiant ($4) I felt that the pricing for this was quite economical compared to other bakery also. I didn't know that got red bean filling for crossiant. The crossiant really got the crispy and crunchy texture when in reheat. But red bean (azuki) was quite sweet and complemented with matcha (bitter taste).

French Potato ($3.40) I didn't really like the mayo sauce garnished on top of the bread and just too much for sauce. I just felt too full after eating bread finish.

Tiramisu Cake ($6) The cake just destroyed by my hands once again and even though the cashier put the tape on the paper for cake. But still the cake just toppled inside the box lol :") the taste for tiramisu just not that strong as I thought but then still having mid coffee taste. The texture for cake and cream was quite soft and moist aftertaste. But they got three types of cake (Tiramisu, Strawberry Shortcake and also Chocolate) selling over the counter.

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. The Chicken Karaage Don has bite-sized chicken pieces on top of hot Japanese rice. Each chicken piece was crispy, tender, juicy and flavourfully marinated.

Nian Gao with ice cream Not too sweet and overall not too bad

Prawn with angel hair The dish is unique and I love the pasta sauce

Sea bass with in house gravy Fusion style.. thai mix with chinese cooking style

carbonara and spicy vodka small portions, even for both of us with small appetites we left still feeling hungry :/ appetitzers were also not really filling like burrata etc but service staff were really friendly and nice!

La Nonna’s Yet another concept by the folks behind Nesuto Patisserie, Handbello is their latest concept that has taken over the premises of ChiChi at Amoy Street; Handbello itself having started operations during the Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) period when dine-in was not allowed. The establishment had since opened their doors for dine-in, moving forward from just takeaway or delivery operations. There were quite a number of options to choose from but we found ourselves going for the La Nonna’s — a rather homey and hearty pasta dish that features Casarecce pasta, Kurobuta Pork Sausage, Brocollini and Chili Flakes based on the menu’s description of the item; all topped with shaved Parmesan over the top with a squirt of lemon zest. It is little wonder why this item is being named La Nonna’s — Italian for “The Grandmother’s” since it felt exactly like a pasta that an Italian grandma will likely toss up using ingredients found in the fridge (albeit more premium); simple but wholesome. While the Casarecce pasta felt like it could do slightly more cooking time for a texture closer to al-dente (though the dining partner mentioned he found the doneness of the pasta alright; preferences, I guess?), I liked how the juicy and chunky knobs of pork sausage (think something similar to the sausage patty that comes with your McMuffin, but pork — not your Bratwurst sort of sausage) is savoury and well-spiced and seasoned without any undesirable porky stench — very satisfying indeed. Then, there comes the crunch of the broccolini — striking a balance with the use of a crunchy green against the carbs and meat to provide that wholesome experience for the entire dish. The shaved parmesan adds a hint of savouriness to the pasta; a very familiar flavour we are accustomed to with other pasta/pizza/truffle fries dishes that feature parmesan, but I liked how they included lemon zest for a slight tang — adds to the complexity of the dish that makes it pretty interesting to have from start to finish. The folks behind Nesuto Patisserie have been pretty known to nail it well with every establishment that they have — from their days as 52 Sandwich Shack and Shuu Choux at Raffles City Shopping Centre, to bring Nesuto Patisserie and subsequently with ChiChi; would say that there is something for everyone at Handbello despite its smaller menu as compared to ChiChi — the less adventurous can always go for the That Carbonara or Corny Tortellini that features more familiar elements. With that being said, Handbello is off a good start; and likely even better as they fine tune their dishes further with more feedback obtained along the way as they ease into their dine-in operations.

Fatfatcarons 🍭K-style Fatfatcarons 📍Haengbok Cakeyo (@haengbok.cakeyo) 📌 Kampong Bahru Road 💰 4 for $24 🤑 Promo code: <BREADINOSAUR> for $5 off @pickupp.sg Ive had lots of macarons but never fatcarons, let alone fatFATcarons. Theyre basically macarons with a huge ass filling. 🥥 Ondeh Ondeh (7.2/10) Comes with coconut cream and a little slice of cake inside. Its pretty sweet but theres a nice fragrance of coconut throughout the whole macaron. 💙 Blueberry (7.2/10) The fresh blueberries were delightful, though most of the macaron tasted like a regular vanilla macaron. 🍓 Raspberry Pistachio (7/10) The most unique macaron, I liked the nuttiness of the pistachio cream and the thick raspberry ganache. 🍋 Double Citron (6.7/10) I find this one to be a bit too sweet cuz of how thick the fillings are. It has a sour and tangy flavour but perhaps it could substitute the icing fillings with something less strong in flavour so its less jelak. Get $5 off your order at Haengbok Cakeyo with my promo code <BREADINOSAUR> on @pickupp.sg! Minimum spend applies.

macarons The pistachio colour looks a bit off…. So maybe it wasn’t fresh. But still tastes good, not too sweet. Worth it with the burpple deal ~ do make sure to check the opening hours. Shop was open on a Tuesday but was unable to redeem the deal because of the opening hours listed on burpple.

Not bad! The chao-ta chicken is pretty solid

Best Cheesecake Ever The cheesecake really lives up to their name. It tastes amazing. One of the best cheesecake I have ever had. I also had their burpple 1-for-1 ribeye. It was a great deal and the ribeye had a unique Chao Ta taste

1-1 Ribeye Love the ambience! Very cosy lighting and pet friendly. Service is good too. Redeemed the 1-1 on Ribeye ($37.50) and had Chaota Wings ($8). Ribeye was ok, but not worth if there is no deal. Wings is recommended, very crispy.

Super well balanced and not pretentious The service here is excellent . And every single dish we ordered was amazing .

Apple galette The apple was nicely cooked down with sufficient softness and tasted tart. The ice cream was soft and decadent too. Overall the best dish of the night! The corse sugar and cinnamon was the icing on the cake. Wine selection at this restaurant was good too!

Beef with onion pie The beef was over cooked and lacked flavours. If you are expecting melt in your mouth steak, this is not it. The leaks were undercooked so were the onion on the pie. For $90, you can definitely get better beef else where.

Salmon Don The salmon taste normal but salmon portion is rather generous

Flat White Smooth and nice aroma

Grape Ricotta Juicy grapes sitting atop ricotta cheese spread on a fluffy and thick brioche drizzled with lavender-infused honey, topped with grounded pistachio and matcha powder 》$15 Other than looking interesting and aesthetically tasty, I find the taste pretty expectable. The taste of ricotta was light and the scent of lavender was stronger than the taste of matcha powder on the grapes. The grapes were fresh, plump and juicy which did not disappoint. I would say the toast was done so well that it did not turn soggy even till the last bite. Something light and simple yet pleasing.

Pandan waffle flat white Was skeptical of the name but this really surprised us with its distinct floral pandan aroma and almost buttery creamy finish. Bought a bag of beans home to enjoy and it was just as good as in store!

Brekki for champions Hearty and filling spread with sourdough, poached eggs, maple espresso bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, baked beans, and pork sausage.

Eggs Benedict Went with the unique stewed beef option and enjoyed the perfectly poached eggs and well-marinated beef. The brioche was airy albeit dry, and could do with more hollandaise sauce or butter for added moisture to the dish.
