Came back as I enjoyed dining in here the other day and decided to try their pasta and truffle fries. Just a feedback on the mains: the truffle (fries and pasta) could use a bit more truffle flavour as it tasted quite bland - lacking in the fries and the pasta tasted more like carbonara than truffle cheese. My partner also mentioned how the basil pesto pasta was flavourless and upon tasting it, i reckon it needs a bit more of pesto in it. Their iced lemon tea also tasted a bit sour, if you prefer a more sharp flavour compared to lemon, you can get that. Otherwise, the ice cream and waffles were really good, we enjoyed that and we liked how the staff also asked for feedback on our dining experience. Hope to come back again soon!

It was my first time visiting Poppy Pops at Jem and had no idea this existed above the main foodcourt!
I enjoyed my experience and will definitely be back for more. I was a tad bit full coming in here hence could not finish my sandwich, but will come in hungry next time to finish my meal.
My 2 other friends also enjoyed their meals and were surprised with the portion, taste and ambience of the cafe. 10/10 will recommend and will be back.

This is a new bar that popped up 3 months ago and I must say, it is incredibly worth it! Both the drinks and food are 5☆s, and not forgetting the service too. The one dish I kept coming back to was the chicken neck and quesabirria (pork). Will definitely try their other menu next time and wow, I've finally found a place I can frequent to now!
Ordered the cookie with 2 scoops - Earl Grey & Thai Milk tea and shared it. Definitely worth it!! It was incredibly moist, chewy and melts in your mouth. Will definitely get a bigger portion next time. There are a variety of flavours to choose from as well, you can have fun with mixing it!

Ordered the B supreme ($23) and the Assembly burger ($25) for dinner and the burgers were sooooo filling! Even if you arrive on an empty stomach, you wouldn't need to order any appetisers. We wanted to, but the staff was already like "the burgers come with fries and its already quite filling" and he was right! Super worth it and will definitely come again, time to get more burgers/waffles and their brunch set next visit!
5☆s!

We ordered the 1 for 1 main dish and I gotta say we were really impressed! We were also surprised how the staff were the ones who were cooking for you as well instead of the usual how you would be the one cooking your own meats. A big plus was how they were all really friendly and considerate as well towards us! We will definitely come by again.
Damage done:
☆ Soy Chicken Thigh ($22)
☆ Spicy Chicken Thigh ($22)
☆ Kimcheese Fried Rice ($20)*
☆ Warm Water - comes in a jug ($2)
☆ Hot Green Tea ($2)

Total: $30.60/pax
* Kimcheese fried rice is a must order! They also said their pork was their speciality.

Using the entertainer app, we got 1 for 1 mains for the Buttermilk Chicken Burger and the Black Angus Ribeye with Truffle Mash. Steak was really good including the sauce and mashed potato! Surprisingly the burger was really filling and the chicken meat was insanely big, I was already full halfway through the burger.
If you're not a fan of sitting outside and having to deal with the throng of passer-by streaming in and out of the walkway and inhaling smoke every 5 minutes, I'd suggest you to come a tad bit earlier than the dinner crowd or reserve a spot rather than walking in!
Total damage:
- Butter Milk Chicken Burger ($18)
- Black Angus Ribeye with Truffle Mash ($29.90)
- Draught Beers ($9) + ($10)

We got the 1 for 1 classics & sausages, a Medley platter with yummy wheat rye bread, a 375ml jug of chardonnay and a mouth-watering warm chocolate lava cake topped with a scoop of ice cream!
The staff were really friendly and even made a few replacements to our dishes/drinks when it wasnt on-par with their standards. It was my friend's birthday and they provided a candle and sparkles with the cake and even turned off their humongous ceiling fan whilst we sang and waited for her to blow the candle.
Will definitely come back for more! It was my first time there, and definitely enjoyed the experience. 4.5/5 ☆s
Total damage done: $103.58
Ordered the Ebi Ten Katsu set worth ($24) and it came with the rice bowl (ebi + chicken katsu + egg), miso soup, chicken skin & water. It was alright, like any other regular japanese rice bowls in foodcourts, but I gotta say, this was really filling. Super worth the 1-for-1!
We got the 1 for 1 main dish comprising of the Mojito Chicken and the Vegetariana Burger and not in the photo - Empanadas, Happy Hour Asahi half pint and House Red Wine.
I liked the burger as it wasnt too heavy, and it came with sweet potato fries as well. I fell in love with the dipping sauce although I can't quite put the name of it even though it tastes so familiar. My friend did say the Mojito Chicken was just ordinary and wasnt able to eat it much. We did enjoy the Empanadas thoroughly though! It was really delicious and really filled, plus the sauce was a good addition too, albeit it could be more!
The only thing I wasnt too fond off was having to scream to my friend sitting in front of me just to hold a conversation. But all in all, I will recommend visiting the place, I will definitely be back nonetheless!
Damage done:
☆ Vegetariana Burger ($18)
☆ Mojito Chicken ($24)
☆ Empanadas ($14)
☆ Asahi Half pint ($5)
☆ House Red Wine ($17)
☆ Water ($2) *
*The water comes in a fruit infused jug and can be refillable!
The impossible burger's patty was really light compared to typical burgers, and the classic wrap was extremely filling (i suggest you can even share this) for a dinner meal. The drink of the night was Mojito, so we had that. Total damage was around $67. Ideal place for date nights too!
Had lunch with a few of my colleagues here and the food was simply amazing! I enjoyed each and every one of the dishes served, will definitely be back here for more!
