One of the best sticky date puddings I've eaten! The pudding was tender, moist and rich. It was served warm and went superbly with the vanilla bean ice-cream and walnuts. It also sat in a sticky pool of caramel sauce, which added flavour to the pudding and is great for people with a sweet tooth.
This dish takes about 15-20 mins to prepare, and its worth the wait! The pancake is so fluffy and the crunch of the cereal bits along with the butterscotch sauce and vanilla ice cream is just a perfect match! Highly recommended!
This dish may be sort of underrated at Builders At Sims, but the Ratatouille Pasta (S$10.90) surely does not pale in comparison with the other meat or seafood items in the café. The Tagliatelle Pasta they used were slightly undercooked, which I thought was intentionally so to add a little more texture together with the zucchini, eggplant and mushrooms. It's a combination of simplicity and satiety!
For the exquisite taster! Truffle taste & smell is there, ramen noodles were not clumpy either. It was served with two chashu and chopped black fungus. The onsen egg is an add-on +$2. The flavoured egg wasn't salty at all. Would also recommend the spicy ramen. The soup is too good! Would come back again during weekdays as weekends is a horror!
Fat Cow and their Donburi needs no introduction; a go-to spot when you ask anyone "Where's the best Gyudon in town?". Part of the set lunch menu, this comes complete with starters, the Don and dessert. The Don comes with charcoal-grilled Wagyu beef steak at your preferred doneness (we went for medium-rare) with egg, truffle shoyu sauce and yakiniku sauce. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and it was generous in portion with smoky flavour with a whiff of truffle, flanked with a runny egg that burst with a poke of the chopstick which can be mixed into the rice bowl. Rice was well-flavoured with sauce of a savoury flavour and light truffle aroma. Indeed one of the better dons I have had, and one that is definitely worth every single cent being paid and a must try for both Japanese Dons and steak lovers.
From Grilllo at Pasarbella Suntec. They seemed to have switched their concept by selling rice bowls for mains (Yakitori remains as sides but the rice box sets are no longer available). For $14.90 for this set, you get a salad with the rice bowl. This was actually pretty good; Short Ribs were sliced thin, but tender and with a pinkish centre without being rubbery perfumed by a short hint of truffle which balances the flavours of the bowl rather than overwhelming it; simply the perfect amount of truffle flavour needed. Rice comes flavoured with savoury sauce, and mix up that runny yolk for more silly smoothness in a bowl. Certainly loving this bowl of goodness that it's tempting to go for a second!
Just had to try this! I was attracted by the éclairs but decided to try this out instead. Frozen Yogurt one of my favs. Everything is just so pretty and nice in the shop. $20 plus for this. Just nice for 2 to share!
I am quite surprised this works for us as we both are not fans of salted egg yolk based desserts.
The savoury salted egg yolk sauce, with the lavender infused waffles, and my alcoholic ice-cream makes for a killer combination!
For $18.80 — along Orchard Road no less — you get a massive portion of cubed sashimi on rice, pickles, salad, appetiser, chawanmushi, miso soup, mochi dessert and free flow green tea! Definitely value for money.
Got my hands on these crazy popular eclairs yesterday, and while I do think these petite confections are really pretty, I didn't find them anything to shout about.
The exception was the Ume Shiso, which I found unexpectedly pleasing. Filled with a silky cream spiked with plum liquor, its body wrapped in a piquant shiso leave, this eclair had a subtle fragrance and a distinct, yet non-overpowering Choya-like taste.
I also liked the Yuzu, which had that nice citrusy punch, and the Ichigo Cheesecake which was inoffensively light and Japanese cheesecake-like in taste. The Gianduja, stuffed with the densest milk chocolate-hazelnut creme, is also worth a try.
I say skip the Irish Cream and Sakura Rose, though.
Wow just wow. So sinful, so good. From left to right: Chocolate Banana (WHAT. WITH ACTUAL CHOCOLATE PIES?!), Old School Vanilla (look like Katy perry to me), Avocado Coffee.
All of which made me squeal in delight and excitement when they were served to us, but the ONE that really got me orgasmic was the Avocado Coffee. SO DAMN GOOD. I could just slurp up every bit of it.
Can't remember the name of the Ice cream. But it's heavenly good! Seriously nice.
