The Refinery🍝 Went to The Refinery for dinner with colleagues 2 weeks ago and had the Mentaiko Aburi Pasta ($24) along with other sharing items such as Cauliflower Fritters ($10), Refinery Wings ($12), Chicken Karaage ($13), Mentaiko Fries ($12)😇 The Mentaiko pasta was good but got a little gelat after awhile. The other sharing items were delicious😍 Overall ratings 9/10 as the ambience was good, staff were helpful and food was delicious!💯 Would definitely visit again!!

Asia Fusion Came here for lunch. Ordered the Gyu Don v2.0 ($16), Yummy Tiger Prawn Pasta ($20) and Sweet Potato Caramel Latte ($6). Gyu Don v2.0: Thinly Sliced USA Beef Shortplate cooked in Aromatic Reduction & Caramelized Onions, Tempura Onions, Japanese Pearl Rice, Onsen Lava Egg. Beef slices were well marinated and tender. Tempura onion on the other hand was disappointing. Soft and unseasoned. Yummy Tiger Prawn Pasta: Linguine, Creamy Tom Yum Sauce, Tiger Prawns, Cherry Tomatoes, Kaffir Lime. The tomyum flavour was not bad. The prawns however do seem a little small and somehow I feel that using fresh prawns would be better for this dish. The sweet potato caramel latte was excellent. Milky, creamy, sweet and delicious. Highly recommend getting this drink. Service was not bad. Servers were attentive enough to top up our water.

WHITE COFFEE + REFINERY SUMMER HOT TEA WHITE COFFEE: Strong brew coffee that is not acidic or bitter; not too milky.. REFINERY SUMMER HOT TEA: Blend of oolong and lavender; well-balanced oolong and lavender taste; surprisingly sweet tasting..

salmon with yuzu aioli not the best salmon don i've had, i went there with quite high hopes as i've read the reviews before going there. the salmon and rice was overcooked, the yuzu aioli was given in small amounts and it didn't really have the yuzu taste. dissappinted really, but i would go back to try their other dishes. taste: 7/10

Comforting, affordable Jap food bowls from @grilllosg ! Oozy Japanese curry over rice and hearty katsu will surely please your tastebuds. Grilllo has come up with not one, but two Katsu Curry Bowls to satisfy any hunger. Pork or chicken bowls available for this! Thanks to @grilllosg for hosting us and to @geekyelephant for inviting us! :) #grilllosg #pasarbella #suntec #jkadverts

Still one of my favourite places for rice bowl as I kept going back for their Yuzu Salmon Bowl ($12.90). Grilled salmon fillets bathed in light zesty yuzu sauce topped with chives, accompanied by two perfectly grilled baby corns and a house made salad. For those who like a more citrusy taste, just squeeze the lemon wedge at the side. Not forgetting to add on their sinful yet delicious Truffle Lotus Chips ($4.00)! • Grilllo Address: 3 Temasek Boulevard, Unit 01-455, Suntec City PasarBella , Singapore 038983 #Grilllo #GrillloSG #pasarbellasuntec

first and last I had their famous mentaiko pasta ($18), chips with truffled mayo ($7) , a very sinful choco banana nutty smoothie ($12) and choco earl grey cake. they're all amazing and i really had a good time there, gobbling all these food up but sadly, that's my first and also my last. hopefully they'll still retain their mentaiko pasta in the future, cause that's really hard to beat!

Visited Five & Dime earlier this week for lunch and reservation for both lunch and dinner were full this week! So we takeaway since we were already there. When I first visited them few years back, I fell in love with their mentaiko pasta and I am so glad that the taste remains the same! Good bye and thank you for being one of the pioneer!

Expecting Stronger Egg Yolk Taste But Met With Disappointment Finally got to try this but um, DIDN'T TASTE MUCH SALTED EGG YOLK. Granted, there was unmistakenly a teeny weeny whiff of the salted egg yolk and having the grainy texture asserts the fact that it is indeed, well, salted yolk but the taste was being overpowered by the chocolate that I wonder if the filling was a mixture of both. IT'S STILL GOOD, NEVERTHELESS. It's a pity that this is the first and last time I would get a taste of this.

Claypot Mee Tai Mak This has a similarity to hor fun. Instead, it uses mee tai mak and comes with an raw egg aside from minced meat, prawns and chopped kai lan. Served bubbling in a claypot with savoury sauce and strong wok hei flavour 》$8/Medium

Salted Egg Pork Ribs Why does the colour looked overcooked or the oil used wasn’t clean? I personally prefer it to have slightly moist texture as this was too dry. This came really oily and they served ribs with bones intact, making it unfriendly to my teeth 》$10/Small

For Mee Tai Mak Worth the Wait Its relocation from Toa Payoh to Clementi means Westies are that much closer to this dark brown, glossy claypot of bubbling goodness. The Claypot Mee Tai Mak (from $5) may not be the prettiest of dishes, but it's darn tasty and most comforting on a cool, rainy day. The plump "rat tail" noodles are bathed in the thick and flavourful gravy studded with chopped vegetables, minced meat, prawns and a cracked egg. Be sure to add some chilli padi for a kick! As its name suggests, this place also does a mean traditional Fish Head Steamboat (from $23 for a small portion) — the perfect dish to share with your group. Otherwise, other zi char options like the Salted Egg Pork Ribs ($10) and the Boss Bee Hoon (get the small $15 portion to share between two to three) fare well. Pro tip: Call to reserve a table and pre-order dishes so you can dig in the moment you arrive! Avg Price: $15 per person Photo by Burpple Tastemaker Felicia Sim

Egg Benedict with rosti Rather a unique dish, I like the Hollandise sauce with the rosti

Scrambled Egg with Croissant The egg is nicely cooked and the croissant is crisp

The Populus Scramble The Populus Scramble consisted of basic ingredients like turkey bacon, croissant, scrambled eggs with herbs (essentially spring onions and big red chilli). Not a very good photographer (esp for food), but plating was well done, enough for me to take like a pro for once. The textbook scrambled eggs was a win for me, the herbs gave it a slight Asian twist. But apart from that, nothing to shout about, no complexity nor depth in flavours. Croissant was very mediocre, and after 3 mouths it was all really one-dimensional. I couldn’t finish it. It just did not make the cut for such price point ($22 bef GST & svc charge). Hesitant to come back, but if I do then I’d probably try something else. Also, there was not much viable options for my poor vegetarian friend. Her favourite mushrooms were already pre-mixed with garlic so no customisations. Ratings: Taste - 7/10 Price - 5.5/10 Ambience - 7/10
