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 😊

this tze char store is my family's favourite whenever we crave for some juicy & fresh crab! can only speak for the few dishes we frequently order (fried mantou, salted egg crab & cereal prawn) but the seafood is really delicious (:
they give a generous portion of prawns, topped off with an equally generous mountain of crispy and sweet cereal. the prawn is huge and would definitely fill you up!
the star of the show would be the salted egg crab. regardless of how many tze char stores we've tried, my family stands by the crab from this store! the sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and salty, complementing the firm yet substantial crab meat.
they are always super full and we can definitely understand why it is so popular!

Generous portion of ginseng chicken (half a chicken) with soup! Comes with a bowl of rice as well at only $5.50 in total.
The soup is flavourful yet not artificial, which is a great pairing with the rice when eaten together (: The chicken portion is huge as well, and has glutinous rice hidden within. We usually share one bowl of ginseng chicken between 2 people (while adding an extra bowl of rice of course) and even then the amount of chicken is guaranteed to make you full!
Between the fall-off-the-bone tender chicken and friendly uncle at the store, this dish is definitely a solid 8/10 and just what we students need for a pick-me-up meal 😊

bought the Hae Bee Hiam Seafood Aglio Olio ($23)
Umami Prawn Linguini ($23) with the 1-for-1 pasta offer currently ongoing at The Cathay!
Hae Bee Hiam Seafood Aglio Olio was an interesting fusion and creative dish. The spicy flavour was mild and not the punch-in-your-face kind that some spice lovers look for! Perhaps it was just our dish that had this issue but the clams were shrivelled up and not the plump, juicy ones we anticipated. Additionally, the pasta was dry and thus is given a 6.5/10 rating.
The Umami Prawn Linguini was flavourful and had a nice salty taste which we enjoyed! Both the sauce and the linguini complemented each other well, definitely a good dish to try out :") Did not feel jelak at all, a solid 8/10!
Both pastas came in generous portions and left us feeling satisfied! Overall a good purchase with the 1-for-1 but not worth the original price.

Overall this is a very solid cheesecake shop, with many good fusion flavours that we loved. They also execute classics well, but just be mindful of some flavours which missed their mark!

(Disclaimer: based purely on personal preference!)
Over the moon - very standard but good 7/10
Sicilian wild cats - very good tiramisu, light and not jelat 9/10
The Emperor’s romance - really great if you like lychee and raspberry! Has multiple layers and dimensions to the flavour 9.5/10
Apple of my eye - good, solid and surprising cheesecake. Had a good balance of sweet and tangy 8/10
Russian whiskers - stood out from the rest with its bold and clean flavours. Surprised us with chunks of frozen mango which added a contrasting texture to the cheesecake 9/10
Paw of fury - did not meet expectations, you’re better off with yuan yang from your local hdb coffeeshop 4/10
Once in the blue moon - no one in our family liked it, was the worst of the fruit cheesecakes. Blueberry flavour was barely there and felt very artificial 4/10
Maneki Neko - tangy and refreshing, delightful with a balanced sweetness 9/10
Jiggly fluff - better than expected, sprinkling the cheese at the top was a fun experience and they are super generous with the toping. Flavours were salty and extremely cheesy, which we enjoyed. 8/10
Modern duke’s pudding - v standard but solid, if you want a good oreo cheesecake, both top and bottom layers are soft and not the crunchy kind if you’re expecting that 7.5/10
King cat of the mountain - a very solid durian cake, not much cheese (thus not much cheesecake flavour) but we enjoyed it nonetheless. Had real durian flesh inside which added to the pleasant flavour of this cake 8/10
Milo dinosaur - standard but good if you like milo, can be a bit jelat even with one slice 7/10
Naughty and nice - surprisingly good quality chocolate cake from a cheesecake store, brownie on top is of great quality as well 8/10
Charred eclipse - nothing special, lack the burnt flavour and we prefer the normal cheesecake which was more moist (due to lack of burnt-ness) 5/10
Sweet and smokey taffy - exactly how you would imagine it to taste like, great if you like salted caramel but it can get jelat even with one slice 7.5/10
Madam roselle - aesthetically pleasing but don’t let the appearance fool you! Lacked tea fragrance and did not taste of anything. Texture was also odd and different from the rest. Came with chunks of frozen rose jelly which sadly did nothing to salvage this cake 3/10

Great thin and crispy pizza, and the Snowing Garlic pizza lived up to its role of being their signature dish, with its strong but not overpowering flavour of garlic and uniquely sweet pizza sauce. The Meatarian pizza was uninspired, but done well so at least there's that.

However, I'll recommend to give the pasta a miss, or at least skip the Ragu Fettuccine and the Triple Garlic Seafood Pasta. The former was extraordinarily ordinary, and the latter was so spicy as to overwhelm most of the other flavours. The only saving grace was that at least the pasta was al dente, but for an original price of 25++ I was expecting more finesse.

Use Burpple Beyond 1-for-1 and save some money, but even then, I'll stick to the pizza.

review:
mushroom pie - buttery crust with perfect blend of mushroom and onion, feels like a concentrated mushroom soup that is delicious 8.5/10
chicken and bacon pie - thick crust is solid, sweet and buttery. savoury taste of chicken, bacon and mushroom blends well with the sweetness of crust and onion. definitely not for those on diet! 8/10
matcha eclair - if you love matcha this will be delectable! not sweet and has a strong matcha taste 8.5/10
signature eclair - tastes a bit like bundung with lychee and raspberry, where the base has a salty aftertaste which brings out the sweetness of the filling 8/10
