Last but not least, the petits fours were a pair of Fermented Rice Cakes and Yakgwa. The madeleine-shaped fermented rice cake being my favourite as I just love the torched to brulee exterior. Crafted from Korean rice powder, it was fragrant, spongey, chewy and, perfectly sweet. Whilst the Yakgwa, a deep fried cookie soaked in ginger and malt syrup, garnished with edible gold flakes, had more of a crunch.

There are three exclusive dishes to Ka-Soh at Greenwood Avenue – Prawn Noodle Soup ($16), Seafood KL Hokkien Mee ($9, $14), and Oatmeal Pork ($19, $29). While the Prawn Noodle Soup ($16) seemed to be pricey, the generous portion with many slices of fresh snakehead fish and three tiger prawns made it looked all worthwhile.
The base was milky and mild, closer to flavours of fish noodle soup rather than prawn stock which would be sweeter.
Ordered the Danzai noodles and egg fried rice w/ pork chop. The Danzai noodles were a bit bland imo and didn't have alot of meat. Would recommend the fried rice instead - some parts were a bit salty but the pork chop was not bad
For mains, I had Pasta Vongole e Bottarga ($25), which features al dente linguine infused with the natural sweetness of fresh clams, umami of bottarga (cured fish roe) and aroma of garlic and olive oil. Love how flavourful and delicious this is!
The star of the night. Something different from the usual ramen I had as this is a ‘dipping’ ramen. The rich seafood broth is where you dip the al dente ramen noodle, quite tasty albeit a little salty. The flavored ramen egg is yummy. Pork slice has this smoked taste, tender to bite. Not forgetting the tiger which is egg white printed on the nori, this is rather special.
The fried milk makes an interesting milk custard dessert. Abit like the insides of a vanilla cream puff. Except its warm and has a fried wanton outer skin.
The signature ginger pudding is omg so so nice and soothing. It has a wobbly texture that so soft and heavdnly. For this I will come back again. And also because I don't where else I can find a similar dessert in spore. How sad. This place is far and I take public transport.
Had the truffle Gyu Don. The flavours mixed together super well and it was not too overwhelming. Price was affordable as well considering the very generous portions. Walked away satisfied and full!
Tried @cafecocosg's choux puffs recently and I like how they have a slightly crisp choux au craquelin along with a wide variety of flavours. My favourites were Earl Grey Lavender and Salted Caramel Espresso for their well balanced flavours.
Irish Roast Duck Drumstick ($14++): switching things up from the seafood galore, why don't you try this beautifully plated Irish Duck 🦆? The meat was pretty tender! 😊
Fill your weekend with the wonderful smells of cakes, bakes and coffee. @pantler has reopened yesterday at River Valley with a bigger and spacious place.
Be greeted by an array of beautifully crafted cakes, which are available in slices and whole. Hard-pressed to choose, we ended up with three liquor-free cakes:
• Yatsura ($9.50), one of their signature, made of hazelnut dacquoise, dark chocolate ganache and crunchy hazelnut feuilletine.
• Citron Blanc ($9.50), Fromage Blanc with lemon confit.
• Nagomi ($9.50), our favourite of the trio. Fragrant Earl Grey Mousse accompanied by tangy bergamot and caramelised almonds
There’s few options for you to choose to include in the omelette, we gotten the minced chicken. The Thai style made the omelette crispy on top but fluffy at the bottom with the egg.
It was a bit too oily but definitely worth trying.
