Uni and cavier on top of foie gras Part of the six course kaiseki at 168++ This is a very decadent dish but I don’t think uni and foie gras really go that well together since both are rich and creamy. Don’t get me wrong the dish is still tasty just that it isn’t the best match of ingredients.

PONZU JELLY UNI Uni Gallery has recently launched their Summer Omakase! At $88++ per pax, you can expect the following: AMAEBI LE TATSUYA Amaebi | Uni l Ikura Sea grapes A perfect start that sets the stage for what's to come. SEASONAL SASHIMI WITH SHOYU FOAM The sashimi were fresh and the delicate shoyu foam adds a touch of elegance to this classic Japanese delicacy, taking it to the next level of refinement. SAKE JUMBO OYSTER I was truly WOW-ed by the size of this huge and fresh jumbo oyster, Binchotan grilled and infused with sake. LOBSTER TAIL BINCHOTAN GRILL Lobster Tail | Asparagus | Lobster paste A true showstopper - The firm, tender and fresh lobster meat, paired heavenly with the rich umami lobster paste. It’s so good that I could easily have seconds!

No more takeaway mala Or lunch set or whatever Only dine in steamboat from now on

Mala At Home One of our favourite go-tos for hotpot and spicy mala meals: @longqingsingapore. Today we had the Wok Fried Spicy Mala (includes a fixed variety of pork belly, chicken, lotus root, asparagus, potato beancurd skin, frozen tofu, luncheon meat, chinese lettuce, quail egg, potato noodle, king oyster mushrooms), Chilled Vinegar Braised Pigs Ears, Spicy Pork & Cabbage Dumplings. This meal fed 3 persons nicely. Place your orders 24 hours before actual pickup/delivery. Link in their bio. $30 - Wok Fried Mala $10.8 - Braised Pigs Ears $12 - Pork Dumplings $10 - Islandwide delivery #FTrecommends

“Wok-fried Spicy Bullfrog Legs” ($30 for 2pcs or $50 for 4pcs) For frog leg fans who like things spicy, locally-owned @longqingsingapore’s “Wok-fried Spicy Bullfrog Legs” offers the best of both worlds. They use fresh frogs, “mala” spices, and throw in potato, prawn paste, tofu and black fungus to round it up into a one-dish meal. GL really good with a bowl of plain rice.

For Clams Sake The soft shell crab also got me hankering for a nice drink, and Konjiki Hotogisu just happens to have a very fetching Gekkeikan Nigori Cloudy Sake on standby. It’s sweet, rich and thick for a sake, and it’s definitely a capable partner to the light clam broth. More interestingly was the little sampler of special clam rice that isn’t even on the menu that they served with our sake. Honestly, if they served full portions of that stellar special clam rice, I’d gladly pay top dollar for it, and I’d be absolutely addicted to it. It’s subtly but undeniably umami, it’s unctuous, it’s fresh and it’s tremendously tasty.

Chili Crab? In My Ramen? I don’t remember what broth @konjikihototogisu used for the Chili Crab Ramen ($19.90++ a bowl, but I do remember it being different to the clam broth. It might’ve been a standard pork bone broth considering its richness, and it’s still a robust broth despite not being as unique as the clam broth.⠀ ⠀ The same springy thin ramen is topped with a slice of servicable chashu, and a whole soft shell crab that’s jazzed up with copious dollops of chili crab sauce. Ideally you’d wanna fish the soft shell crab out of the ramen the minute it’s served to preserve the crunch of the soft shell crab, but you do wanna mix some of that charming chili crab sauce into the ramen for a spicy & sour kick. The chili crab sauce is egg-cellently eggy, tangy and sufficiently sweet, making it a perfect pair with the crunchy soft shell crab. Konjiku Hotogisu’s Chili Crab Ramen hits every major flavour & texture, and I’m getting hit with cravings for seconds of this.

Hamaguri Broth Shio Good We’ve had pork broth, chicken broth, seafood broth and even the occasional fish broth ramen in Singapore, but how about clam broth? @konjikihototogisu is a Michelin Starred ramen restaurant that has its Singapore outpost run by the same company that runs Ajisen, and the clam broth is its unique selling point.⠀ ⠀ There are two choices for the clam broth, shoyu (soy sauce) and shio (salt). I chose the Shio Hamaguri Soup Ramen ($15.90++), which has chashu & ramen immersed into the clam & pork bone broth, and garnished with porcini duxelle and white truffle oil. The clam broth is notably lighter than a standard all pork bone broth, but there is still some weight & richness to it due to the inclusion of some pork bones. It’s subtly sweet & briny from the hamaguri clams (Asian hard clam), and it’s a light but still tasty broth. The porcini duxelle adds earthiness & umami to the ramen, while the heady perfume of white truffle oil will intoxicate your sense of smell.⠀ ⠀ The thin noodles are cooked perfectly with a delightful bite to them, but the chashu was completely unremarkable. Still, at well under twenty bucks, this light bowl of ramen would do solid work as a hangover remedy.

Mentaiko Salmon Don I finally tried their Mentaiko Salmon Don (cooked) ($17.90) after so long of wandering for at least 2 years ago. Back in 2018, I went to Japanese Curry Express for Salmon Mentai Don with one of my poly friend. She also ordered same as me that time but we didn't wanted to share together because the portion was quite small but its quite filling tbh. I saw @foodee.diaree's reviews for 2 weeks ago and reminded me the shop still opened at there till now. I preferred Mentaiko Salmon Don to be uncooked but my stomach got some problems with diary products (I didn't want to take risk anymore and need to play safe) I felt that it was quite overwhelmed with mayo but I felt that their salmon was really fresh and so good.

Wagyu Beef Don I did asked my friend about differences between Tanuki Raw and Rakki Bowl for Wagyu Australian Wagyu MB5 (Signature Truffle Wagyu Don) - $14.90. She didn't answered my answers lol. (probably I just want to know the differences in terms of taste and pricing) I knew the pricing differences between australian and japanese wagyu in terms of quality.

Delicious Salmon Don Tamago is sweet and salmon not overly cook. Overall food is delicious Just that the music play in the store is weird

Hotpot Been a while since I last visited them. Still making us full despite the quality seems to drop a little. The mushroom soup wasn't as mushroomy as it used to be. Other soup were alright and suit accordingly to local taste. Food wise generally were thawed, clean and plated properly. Advice y'all to go normal buffet as there are many items to have already unless want seafood or some small bites. Best day to warm yourself up in these cold days. - Pricing 3/4 Base Soup($10/$12) Normal($27.80++/$29.80++) Premium($39.80++/$43.80++) (Mon-Thur/Fri-Sun, Eve PH & PH) Time limit - 90 mins. Buffet includes sauce & seasoning station, ice cream and free flow selected drinks. . 🚩XiangCao Yunnan Original Ecology Hotpot, 494 North Bridge Rd, Singapore 188738 . . . #mehmehfoodventure #foodie #sgfoodie #sgfoodblogger #foodblogger #foodblog #foodcoma #burpple #burpplesg #sgfood #foodsg #eatmoresg #foodinsing #sgeats #buffet #steamboat #hotpot #xiangcaoyunnan #mushroomhotpot #hotpotbuffet #freeflow #malasoup #pickledcabbagesoup #xiangcaoxiangcaoyunnanoriginalecologyhotpot

Check the bills pls They got our bills wrong but I didn’t notice that at the time. Feeling cheated. Two of us ordered essential but the bill was 81.6. We left in a rush for a movie and didn’t check/get the receipt. Well played.

Feeling Cheated I have tried xiao cao xiang at toa payoh before and I think it was nice and affordable. When they closed and xiangcao reopened, I was sad but happy that the legacy continue. I saw the menu in their Facebook for that price makes me happy and I went. However, sad to learn that it is only for premium buffet and the price is quite significant. xiao cao xiang seems to have offered better ingredient at a lower price. Please update your menu items and price clearly. It is very misleading Also, do indicate the soup charges in your online menu.

All You Can Eat Lunch Buffet Discounts given if you are staying at Swissotel as well! Seafood was amazingly fresh and sashimi was great 🐟 As you can see we are drawn to Asian food 😝

Lunch Buffet Can’t decide which view is better but loved the delightful desserts especially those tiny lemon tart. Take dozens of those you won’t regret!! Taste: 4/5 Price: 3.5/5 (worth if you spam like 20 lemon tarts)

Semi-buffet ($74/ person) 🍽 ⭐️ 4.5/5 ⭐️ 🍴With #americanexpresscard 1-1, this buffet set becomes really worth it at only $40+/ person. The meal includes free flow appetizers & desserts with a fixed choice of 1 main (+$10 for the choice of beef), paired with one of the best top-down views of Singapore. There’s a very good spread of dishes including fresh seafood (salmon, mussels, oysters, crab, prawn), a wide array of bread & dips and desserts. 📍Equinox, Level 70, Swissotel the Stamford, 2 Stamford Road

Waygu Nikomi Onsen Tamago Don The Public Izakaya is definitely a great place to wind down for dinner, especially since it's located in Tanjong Pagar. We visited during lunch hours and they offer a lunch set that is simply fantastic. I can already picture myself chilling there with friends after work. Their oden is incredibly flavorful; you can tell it's been slow-cooked for hours yet remains delightfully bouncy. For the lunch set, they offer a variety of rice bowls. I opted for the Wagyu Nikomi Onsen Tamago Don, featuring Wagyu beef in cube style—it was truly delicious. I particularly enjoyed how well the thick brown sauce complemented the onsen egg and rice. The set also includes miso soup and a side dish. Rating: Food Quality: 5/5 Price: ~$25 per person Location: The Public Izakaya Follow @foodytiff for more 🥢

Crispy Fried Chicken | $17+ literally what the title says, it was really crispy. adequately coated with a golden batter, it was the perfect balance of crisp to tender chicken ratio. i enjoyed it the most with a dip of that creamy mayonnaise! will reorder this or get the karaage that i’ve seen people ordering.

Omakase Oden Set (6pcs) | $22+ the best part of oden - hot piping soup, where you’ll taste hints of sweetness from the dashi stock, and that savoury note once you let it linger a little longer in the mouth. i’d get a refill if i could. out of all the ingredients (all tasted good by the way), my favourite was definitely the daikon. such a simple ingredient, yet made so well. it was the just right softness, not too mushy yet not too hard. the best part of it all, was that in a single bite of the daikon, you’ll get the soup too as it has absorbed all of the dashi stock.

margaret river angus rib eye a thick cut of steak that was hearty and juicy. no doubt a satisfying, quality steak which one would expect, though not mind-blowing. had it medium rare, which was just nice for a tender and juicy steak. the potatoes and greens accompanied the meat well. note: think this was part of the august’19 lunch menu! 9/10 🌟

Passionfruit Sorbet Passionfruit sorbet (sorbet of the day for set lunch $49++) Sorbet was refreshing and was a good balance of sweet and sour. Went well with berries.

Margaret River Angus Ribeye Margaret river angus ribeye (mains for $49++ set lunch) Comes with salsa Verde, roasted kipfler, garlic cream and tendrils. Ribeye 180g was substantial for a female but may be small for a hungry man. Had it medium rare and it was very juicy and yummy.

Lobster Set Lunch set lunch was reasonably priced with a half serving of lobster and scallops for starters. perfect place for dates or drinks during their happy hour with oysters at only $3++ a pop** service is great too! helmed by chef alysia tan, you can expect quality food at this well-known steakhouse. situated prominently in raffles place, the decor is absolutely stunning. check out their basement if you ever get a chance to 😉

Fascinating Food Had their lunch which they offer a set lunch of 3 courses at the price of about $45? I would say it's of reasonable price. . My partner ordered the set lunch. Appetiser, he got the Caesar salad which I think was really good. With the touch of the onsen egg, it added more smooth and creamy texture to the salad. The lettuce was fresh and the Caesar dressing was good. The main course was a Chicken 'Kiev', a Russian style stuffed chicken? I believe the stuffing was uni butter inside the fried chicken breast. I didn't like it as much but I like the batter of the fried chicken. It was served with baby spinach and water melon radish - very interesting! Dessert was a choco tart and one can never go wrong with it. It was really creamy, thick and tasty . I didn't order the set lunch but I got the Duck Confit from their lunch ala carte menu. First time trying Duck Confit and it blew my mind. Didn't know it will taste this good, even with the lentils! I don't normally eat beans or lentils but these lentils were cooked so good and tasty, I finished it up. Duck has a crispy skin and tender meat inside, well cooked. Slightly salty though. . The restaurant has a really warm and comfortable setting with stunning decor. Service was good and overall, I'd give this a 8/10? Thank you for the food. I might come back for more (:

Juicy Starter The Hokkaido Scallops (~$26)!!! So plump and JUICY AND TENDER, I definitely recommend this one 🤤🤤 The scallops separated well in a bite, and the almond tuille added a nutty sweetness to the saltier popcorn purée! Ig @goodfomood
