Mushroom Melt $13 Another favourite item, this time for takeaway. But best eaten while it’s still piping hot, crispy & oozing with cheese with a hint of truffle •

SERANGOON GARDENS BAKERY overrall, I would say there is a good variety of bakes for everyone but kinda on the pricey side for more regular visits. For regulars, I would think their larger bakes like whole flavored sourdoughs and basic breads looks and smells really good ( good price too). Else, go for their sammies and coffee (➕complimentary fancy neighbourhood doggos hangout experience 🐩)

Peanut Butter Jam Choc Bun $6 Choc bread was soft and fluffy like their other sweet buns with swirls of nutty paste in the dough and PBJ on top. Love this flavour combo which was nutty, sweet and chocolatey. Will get this again.

Burpple 1-for-1 ordered the steep's breakfast pan, eggs royale and french toast! with burpple beyond, it's extremely affordable for the quality of food & ambience offered at this cafe (: we especially enjoyed the scrambled eggs which were done to perfection and the french toast was a good contrast to the other savoury dishes ordered. will definitely come back again 😊

French Toast ($17) We were quite delighted to find this cafe at a corner of Little India after our unexpected cultural walk when we found our intended eating place to be closed. Steep is a small and simple cafe which provided us just enough respite from the hot afternoon sun. French Toast looked better than it tasted, nevertheless it still provided pretty good brunch. Personally, I felt that the bread could have had more egg flavour and would have been quite tasteless if not for the mascarpone, berry compote and the unique honey thyme syrup.

Steep's Breakfast They ran out of avocado and we replaced it with eggs instead. Quite a hearty meal and love that the bacon wasnt too salty! Both the scrambled and poached eggs were nicely cooked as well.

Mentaiko Taramasalata ($13+) For Mother’s Day the chosen location was Habibi-San for I knew our empress dowager, who loves tapas after our brief travel experience in Barcelona, would also love these Middle Eastern-Japanese fusion small and big plates concept. The family easily declared that this was one of the best meals we’ve had in SG so far for 2021. Warranted that it has only been half a year but that stunning iberico main would be hard to contend against. One bite and I commented “I’ve haven’t had such good iberico pork in a very long time”. Declaring the main show first shouldn’t discount the fun delicious array of small plates that you’d need rounds (emphasis on the plural) of pita for. We shared the babagnosh, chickpea hummus, Mentaiko taramasalata, burrata and Brussels sprout. Each spectacular in its own right and something home-cooks can forget about recreating. Im specially mentioning the Brussels sprout as I had a benchmark version from Nassim Hill Bistro; when I thought this greens couldn’t be done any better Habibi-san’s version surprises with Japanese elements like kinnogomadre and bonito. Concluding - a meal at Habibi-San felt paradoxically rustic yet grandiose; don’t let the casual setting fool you for the food here was real fine.

Habibi-san! The Mister’s very own Middle-eastern Izakaya joint along Haji Lane, now delivering to your doorstep during this pandemic. Visually, now that I’ve laid them all out, his food seem to reflect the vibrant colours of the art murals along Haji Lane. Everything was super yum and my favourites were the: - Mentaiko Taramasalata Dip, XO, housemade labne, briny sweet tobiko, crispy shallots - Roasted Brussels Sprouts, banging Kinnogomadare sauce, red cabbage pickles, jalapeños, bonito - Burrata di puglia, ashtray tomatoes, yuzu, daikon salsa, basil oil - Stockyard’s angus ribeye 300g, mechoui rubbed, garlic ponzu jus, fresh wombok slaw $10 islandwide delivery #FTrecommends

Mentaiko Taramasalata A nice change from the usual Greek meze made from cod roe, their Mentaiko Taramasalata ($13) had a pleasant tang from the housemade labne (Greek yogurt cheese) which worked surprisingly well with the blend of mentaiko and XO sauce - expect hints of spice and fishy-savoury goodness. Perfect with their toasty pita bread ($3/ per piece), the luscious dip also came embellished with tobiko, crispy shallot, and chives which really gave it that extra oomph. Much love for the warm pillowy dough, which was great on their own!

Beer Battered White Bait Yummy side dish, very addictive with the wasabi snow. Crunchy yet soft to the bite. Goes well with the Mayo that comes with it too.

Sakura Ebi Capellini It’s like having atas prawn noodles. This one has a strong prawn taste which is complemented with toppings of Sakura ebi, shredded nori and Bonito flakes.

Wah Guys This Was A Damn Good Bird I came here for this bird and I was pleased with the bird.

HAZELNUT FLAT WHITE Quite a good cup of coffee; coffee is smooth, taste not too strong, not bitter or acidic; strong nutty taste, slightly sweet, not too milky..

MATCHA LATTE Felt the green tea taste not strong enough; milk taste > green tea taste; slightly sweet..

PADDLE POP CHEESECAKE The colorful dish that instantly lift up my mood; cake is smooth but slightly hard, cheese taste is mild, not too sweet; taste normal, nothing special..

Chocolate Lava Cake With coconut ice cream, roasted peanuts and orange creme. Like everything here, this was overpriced.

Bone-in Short Ribs ($40) Beef was extremely tender, came with beetroot and some fried potato pieces Sad that there’s only 2 pieces Ambience was nice, service was good

Ibérico Ham Croquette [$18 for 3pcs] Fyr Cycene Ond Drinc is a modern rustic chic restaurant that mixes European and Southeast Asian cuisines together. An emphasis on grills and meats, the food over at Fyr do see some unique combination and innovations. Pictured here is their small plate of Ibérico Ham Croquettes that is topped with slow roasted tomato jam and curry aioli. The flavours and spices in this dish definitely reminded me of Southeast Asia - India in particular. Each croquette was delicious, the Ibérico ham blending well with the curry aioli. A pricey little starter but a tasty one at that. And hey, it's pretty to look at.

Organic Chicken Burger ($20) Nestled in the buzz of downtown city life, Genius Central can be found in Far East Square right beside Telok Ayer MRT station. I had the charcoal chicken burger (looked better in the menu), and it was pleasant! the charcoal bun was soft and buttery, and definitely complemented the chicken breast well. the sauce was really savoury, and the potatoes were baked to a crisp! however, i felt that the chicken breast was a tad dry and sad. Overall, a good dining experience but nothing really to shout about. the ambience was great, and really a nice place to study, though their work and dine promo ($18) was not covered under Burpple.

Organic Lemon Chicken ($22) The baked potatoes were addictive. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. My friend who doesn’t like potatoes usually actually enjoys it! The chicken was moist and the sauce savoury. Overall, the dish was great but may not be worth the full price.

House Hot Smoked Salmon Risotto ($22) Salmon risotto was really tasty, with a surprising nutty taste, but could do with more meat and less carbs.

Mentaiko & Ikura A Italian Japanese fusion restaurant popular for their pizza and pasta. Seeing so many people gotten their mentaiko and ikura so decided to give it a try as well. Definitely very creamy and generous on the mentaiko sauce given, topped with lots of ikura. But surprisingly the whole meal wasn’t too overweight with the taste.

Tuna tartare negitoro, crabmeat, ikura, avocado. what would go wrong? Just give us more bread ha. Would order again. Uni egg is also good. Mains were quite average in comparison to the starters.

a4 wagyu rump steak, japan price: $35 rump steaks aren't usually as tender as sirloin steaks, however they are definitely deeper in flavour. 🤓 this steak was on the leaner side so if you're looking for fatty steaks, do not get this! you will be disappointed! but all in all, it's a good steak.

Cheapest 1-1 Coffee Near CBD Super smooth espresso that is definitely worth $2.50 in the CBD! There’s limited seating outside but you can always takeaway :)

Really cute place with good coffee 😍 Loved discovering the different types of coffee served at Shift!!! It’s a tiny coffee bar with some seats outside to chill while watching cars drive by. The barista was really friendly, recommended us drinks according to our preferences :) Also, $3.50 for a cup of good joe in a chill cbd spot, what more could you ask for? 😂

One Of The Best Coffee In SG I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, Shift (used to be Upside Down Coffee Alternatives) has one of the best coffee in SG. REALLY. It’s so nutty and wholesome with oat milk and the aroma of their coffee lingers on your tongue with every sip. I LOVEEEEEEE.
