Grill Chicken Rice And Veggie $6.5 Friendly staff (or owner). Lunch queue is mad! Grilled chicken is not bad, but I’m not particular fan of the blue rice I think. Will come back to try other stuff though :)

Pièce de résistance. Get the rendang Nasi lemak ($5) with blue pea rice. available only on Tues and Sat. It’s worth every calorie.

Blue Rice Nasi Lemak $5 second time eating here! Felt that the standard kinda dropped, wasn't as mindblown as the first time but overall experience here still good: 7.5/10

Fried Rice They have since closed. This was weird, I don't know was it because it's takeaway.

Huge Portions with wonderful broth! Aside from the skewers, we had suan la fen ($7.80), which is like chewy noodles in spicy sour soup. You are to be warned, as the portion given was massive, maybe can feed 3-4 people! Though the noodles were abit too chewy, I really loved the soup. The broth was really thick with meat broth flavours, chilli and vinegar that is really satisfying. Best drink to go with these dishes is definitely Chinese beer, which was only $5.8 per bottle! Definitely coming back here again.

Authentic delicious smoky skewers! By far, I think this is one of the most authentic places to get Chinese BBQ and dishes, as the ambience, people and food really did bring me back to the good times I had in China. We had a variety of skewers, from potato to mushrooms to different meats and they were all really delicious! Most if not all of the skewers were seasoned similarly, using chilli, cumin and pepper spices. The seasoning isn't too salty, and the cumin flavours really come through. As for vegetable options, one of my favourite is the potato slices, as the potato slices were smoky and had a wonderful crust that reminds me of potato chips. Biting through the crust reveals a creamy center within which is just satisfying. As for the meats the pork belly skewers were quite tough, the chicken slices were okay but the best were the mutton skewers. Smoky, meaty and yet tender, these mutton pieces did not have any gaminess at all too. The sweet bread skewers weren't that fantastic, as we expected a certain crust but it was just soft all the way. Perhaps mantou is a better option.

Peanut + Sesame Paste [115 Tang Shui] Been hearing good reviews about this place, and finally visited them at Chinatown Complex. The peanut paste was really fragrant, and makes you go for more with every spoonful. The sesame however was more muted in flavour - felt slightly more watery and it wasn't as nutty or strong as I'd have liked it to be. Still a pretty good dessert, and I'd love to try their walnut paste next.

Walnut And Black Sesame This is best of both world. However i still find the black sesame it a bit sweet to my liking and not enough nutty flavor. After mixing both togather it tastes better!

Bulgalbi MVP 6.5nett Take note it's a patty, not sliced beef. The eggs were the true MVP, as they were fluffy and contributed to the texture. Don't request to remove the chili sauce and tomato, they were carrying the flavours. There's some Isaac sauce slathered on the toast but it was a thin layer, really can't taste it at all. Overall it's still a really feel good sandwich, I enjoyed it though I won't say it's special.

Ham & Cheese Ham & Cheese ($4.50) consisted of ham, cheese and egg filled with corn. I felt that the bread was less toasted compared in the past and it was quite dry aftertaste. But ingredients (ham, cheese and egg filled with corn) were quite having same standard in the past.

Chicken Bulgogi A La Carte(6.50) Have been wanting to try out this famous korean chain of sandwiches for a very long time and i am so glad they have it in sg. Excellent and fast service. Bread was crispy and nicely toasted and came with a generous amount of fillings. I was expecting it to be chicken bulgogi(real meat) but instead is was just a chicken patty. Nevertheless, it was still delicious and filling. However, the cheese they use is very strong and has a bad smell. Luckily the ingredients made up for it. I would have expected some real meat for the price. Other than that, everything is delicious and fine

Creme Brulee Bomboloni ($8++) Creme Brulee with a twist . Vanilla custard donuts topped with a layer of hardened caramelised sugar .

Grilled Cheese Patty Melt ($26) A really good cheeseburger - but in a sandwich! Why have burger buns when you can have grilled cheese sourdough? The Blackmore wagyu patty was juicy, very tasty with the pastrami jam, garlic aioli and cucumber pickles. Very classic cheeseburger ingredients and executed well in this sandwich. Overall a good sandwich, slightly pricey but it was delicious so I’ll take that. Visited on a public holiday and at 11am, their tater tots were already out of stock! This eliminated many of their breakfast options, sadly. Would return again earlier to try their other options.

Pastrami Reuben ($26) So glad my friend and I shared the sandwiches at this place, because they are really generous with the meat! The smoked pastrami brisket was just overflowing in between the slices of caraway rye sourdough toast, it wasn’t too salty on its own but the sheer amount of it in the sandwich made it quite so, along with the provolone cheese. Fortunately there was sauerkraut and Russian dressing to cut through the salty and savoury notes. Overall a very tasty sandwich, would recommend to share otherwise the pastrami brisket can get quite overwhelming. Slightly pricey for a sandwich, but the amount of meat and tastiness of the dish kinda makes up for its price. Visited on a public holiday and at 11am, their tater tots were already out of stock! This eliminated many of their breakfast options, sadly. Would return again earlier to try their other options.

Champon Ramen? A huge bowl of noodle that could probably feed 2 small eaters. It was a mix of so many ingredients that you’d get confused what’s the highlight of this bowl. Inspired by Chinese cuisine, the yellow noodles they had made me wonder why I’m paying so much for. Overall it looked like cheap ingredients made premium. It was very filling, with free flow eggs and bean sprout. Slightly disappointed though it isn’t bad. It probably just isn’t my kind of food. My not so nice photo of not so nice food :/ -

King Champon Cabbage, spinach, carrot, corn, onion, fishcake, black fungus, bamboo shoot, shimeji mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, king mushrooms, quail egg, chicken, pork belly, crab sticks, prawns, squid, tako, clams and one oyster. Quite ridiculous this is $15.90. Eating through the ingredients was a meal by itself. But to be fair, the ramen and broth were decent only.

Champon King If you looking for something that have everything on your meal, this is the place! The bowl of noodle that comes with everything from seafood to meats. The portion can be huge for some, so try not to order too much items to your bowl. This place also provide charger to charge your phone while eating.

The Last Hurrah! (Sit down Buffet style at $39++) This, including the cornbread waffles, were my top favourites among the wide spread served at the restaurant during their last weekend (24/11–26/11). The individual components of the Wagyu Big Mac Fried Rice were simple and unassuming, but together, they constructed the most comforting of rice bowls. The beef itself was a little dry, but the rest of the ingredients were well done. The flavour combination was amazing, and it all felt like a warm hug. The cornbread waffles were something else too. I love cornbread in general but the ones here still blew my mind–I happily had 5 of those goodies. I usually favour crispier waffles, but I didn't mind these at all because they were delightfully fluffy. Beside them being sweet like typical cornbreads I've had, pairing them with the maple syrup enhanced the flavour further and actually brought out a wonderful smokiness in it. There were bits of corn kernels inside too, which I was only too happy to lap up. Beautiful flavours and texture checked, making these a plate (or in my case, 2 plates) of memorable waffles. So with these, I bid farewell to Bird Bird with a heavy heart. I've never been a fried chicken fan, but these outstanding menu items proved that the restaurant can delight everyone else too! I certainly hope this is not the last we've seen of Bjorn and his amazing team (other than Artichoke, of course) for this experience has further affirmed my belief that they can execute some great stuff.

thai-inspired burgers. here at bird bird for the collaboration with three buns. the burger of the day is the bird bun ($16), a fried chicken thigh paired with nam jim slaw and coconut mayo, sandwiched by rice buns. the taste of the burger is undoubtedly thai-inspired, with its sour and spicy slaw (nam jim = dipping sauce in thai) and the juicy chicken thigh that had a slight lemongrass kick to it. the coconut mayo conjured images of the sea and coconut trees swaying in the breeze - well actually it reminded me of the nasi lemak burger from mcdonald’s. finally, the rice buns bravely soaked up all the juices from the chicken and the slaw while keeping its shape and texture. toasted (oat?) flakes on the top bun added crunch as well. pity it’s so far from home (and also a limited time collab). hoping it will pop up again sometime soon 😬

Wagyu Big Mac Fried Rice 🐮🍚 This seems to be a rice version of the wagyu beef burger that we usually have in other cafés and burger joints. Served with a 'special' sauce which enhanced the flavour. As instructed by the staff, put the sauce first and then, all ingredients should be mixed together. As a result, a feast of variety of interesting flavours in a plate! Although, the beef was quite chewy and this serving is a bit pricey, generally, I enjoyed this meal. PS The wagyu beef are under the fried egg. Sorry. Too hungry, I didn't realise that the beef slices can't be seen! ☹️ #burpple

The Refinery🍝 Went to The Refinery for dinner with colleagues 2 weeks ago and had the Mentaiko Aburi Pasta ($24) along with other sharing items such as Cauliflower Fritters ($10), Refinery Wings ($12), Chicken Karaage ($13), Mentaiko Fries ($12)😇 The Mentaiko pasta was good but got a little gelat after awhile. The other sharing items were delicious😍 Overall ratings 9/10 as the ambience was good, staff were helpful and food was delicious!💯 Would definitely visit again!!

Asia Fusion Came here for lunch. Ordered the Gyu Don v2.0 ($16), Yummy Tiger Prawn Pasta ($20) and Sweet Potato Caramel Latte ($6). Gyu Don v2.0: Thinly Sliced USA Beef Shortplate cooked in Aromatic Reduction & Caramelized Onions, Tempura Onions, Japanese Pearl Rice, Onsen Lava Egg. Beef slices were well marinated and tender. Tempura onion on the other hand was disappointing. Soft and unseasoned. Yummy Tiger Prawn Pasta: Linguine, Creamy Tom Yum Sauce, Tiger Prawns, Cherry Tomatoes, Kaffir Lime. The tomyum flavour was not bad. The prawns however do seem a little small and somehow I feel that using fresh prawns would be better for this dish. The sweet potato caramel latte was excellent. Milky, creamy, sweet and delicious. Highly recommend getting this drink. Service was not bad. Servers were attentive enough to top up our water.

WHITE COFFEE + REFINERY SUMMER HOT TEA WHITE COFFEE: Strong brew coffee that is not acidic or bitter; not too milky.. REFINERY SUMMER HOT TEA: Blend of oolong and lavender; well-balanced oolong and lavender taste; surprisingly sweet tasting..

Secret Item: Truffle Indomee you won’t find this on the menu, just ask the waiters and it’ll be avail at a certain time every day 😉 the best take on indomee i’ve tasted, way better than the original even. truffle taste is so strong with a perfect onsen egg! though i found the bacon a little too salty for my liking. the alcoholic bubble tea is pretty refreshing too~ slightly pricey but nice place and recommended!

Rooftop Night View My first time at this 风和日丽 place after seeing it so many times on Instagram 😝 It’s not a very big place so it felt quite cozy. The high chair and tables setting was quite nice to chill and hang out with friends. :) The cocktails were quite pricey though. I got a glass of Little Pink Dot (marshmallow gin, raspberry liqueur, fresh berries, yuzu) for $19, but the taste was quite overwhelmingly sweet. Couldn’t really taste the yuzu, which was a pity because I really like yuzu. It looks really pretty though! 😂 They have rather unique local/southeast asian inspired cocktail flavours though (e.g. kaya lumpur, bubble tea etc) so I’m willing to visit again to give it another try!

Little Pink Dot A little late to the Rooftop bar game but hey - I'm finally here at Loof! Ordered Little Pink dot which is a gin base cocktail but it was so tiny. The server said 'little pink dot mah'. Oh Wells, it is really way too expensive for a cocktail in my honest opinion. Loof is a small area, looks like it sits about 40 to 50 people. The low chairs are awkward, try to get a high chair seat. Not too noisy, you can still hear each other without shouting. Had the Korean fries and they're decent. Very crispy and drenched in what tasted like honey sesame sauce. Overall, I think if they have better cocktails, I'll be back. But they do have Happy hour where the cocktail is going for $12. #TACO

Start My Week With A Pink Cup Of Coffee Ordered 8oz flat white with soy milk ($5) and pretty enjoyed it. The soy milk and coffee mixed pretty which wont be too bitter or sour. The pricing is comparably reasonable in CBD area. Will be back for sure in the future. The croissant ($3.5) looks huge and fresh too, may try it next time

Affordable Joe At $5.50 for a 12oz cup (albeit a cutesy pink one) of joe with milk, this is definitely going to be my to-go place when I am in the CBD. And it comes with great customer service i.e. friendly baristas to boot!

; Cold Brewed Teas Kyu's very own housemade cold brews. Super impressed with Valerie @orderwithinchaos's refreshing creation; Lychee Green Tea with a splash of Muscat Cider (left bottle). Ice cold with no added sugar. Much needed to tide us through our city's hot humid weather 💦 This actually got me hoping that it'll on to become one of their signatures! 5.5bucks/bottle #kyucoffeebar #FTrecommends
