Not bad but not great either. The kuey chap was smooth and silky, but the broth was overly sweet and I could only drink less than half the bowl. Salted vegetable was also too sweet, but I appreciated the whole garlic cloves in there that gives it extra flavour. The duck and intestines were also average, intestines were pretty rubbery.
Pictured is for 2 pax, portion is decent at least! (cabbage rice also included which is not pictured)

Possibly an ode to the video game Red Dead Redemption and looked like heaven when I first opened the bagel. But sadly it didn’t live up to my expectations. The brisket and sausage were both a little tough and towards the end it got pretty salty. The slaw was pickly and crunchy, a very welcomed flavour to cut through the heavy flavour and heat of the brisket and sausage.

I was shocked by the size of this iced latte 😂 Love the aesthetics but not so much the portion.

The cafe was also clearly not meant for people to be working/studying in, they’ve taped all the wall plug outlets so people don’t stay long. Also it’s pretty crowded even during weekday afternoons, expect to queue for a while.

Spicy and slightly tangy, just the way I like it. The pork belly was admittedly not as juicy/tender as I wanted it to be but I can’t complain, 3 tacos for $8?? The pork pastor tacos ($7.50 and not pictured) were good too. Even better the next day after all the flavours have sat overnight.

Appreciate how affordable this is compared to other Mexican restaurants. A great place to satisfy my Mexican food cravings without breaking the bank. Too bad its located in a very very small shop lot so dine in is pretty challenging, and it’s a little far!

Tender beef tongue served in tacos. This one didn’t have much flavour compared to its counterparts like the pork belly and pastor. Probably wouldn’t get it again.

The Winery tapas had some hits and misses, this was one that I thought was in the middle. Neither is it a hit but it wasn’t too bad either.

I knew this was a tapas place but this $28 paella was way too expensive for such a small portion. The portion could barely feed 1 hungry person tbh. After having this and the carbonara, the ham/crab croquetas were thankfully a pleasant surprise.

Is this the saddest carbonara I’ve ever seen/tasted in my life? Yes. Understand that this is a tapas place but this was not under the tapas section of the menu and the portion was barely enough for one person. Didn’t taste like carbonara either. Only thing I liked about this dish was the bacon. $18 for this was overkill.

One of the better dishes of the night. Pork belly and unagi sandwiched between mini bagels with egg yolk on top. The yolk honestly felt very out of place in this whole thing, the stars were the eel, pork belly and the sauce. Not cheap though!

Both of these make for such a good tea time snack. The flat white was good - fragrant and not too bitter or acidic. The cream puff was crunchy on the outside and sinfully good on the inside. As a sweet tooth, this was the right sweetness for me.

Rich savoury broth with juicy tender pork cheek slices. Delicious but can be a bit cloying for those who prefer clearer, simple broths. Had to add an extra $2 for the ramen egg though. The gyozas were honestly pretty forgettable.

Everything about this was good. The crispy tempura ebi and hamburg were cooked to perfection. It was flavourful enough on its own, but the tartare and demi glace sauces helped them shine even more. And who can resist a free flow salad, egg and dessert bar! The only downside about this place is the very long queue and waiting time.
