Pretty disappointing in my opinion, lil too much cheese on their sunny side up eggs (Not poached for some reason sobbles). A really spicy aglio olio, and a not very wrapped wrap. Oh well, company was good.
My stint over at NTU has brought me over to the far west, which in fact, has been v surprisingly impressive w it's wide selection of food and shopping!!! Recently got to try this quaint cafe over in the HK street at JP, and boy am I won over. The whole deco and vibe this cafe gives (complete w the ambience of the HK street) made me feel like I was back in the bustling city of HK once again. I almost expected the staff to converse w me in Cantonese. But atmosphere aside, I am pleased to say that their cuisine is almost on par and matching in standard to local HK cha chan teng fare!!!! So elated to have found a cafe in sg which can at least match up to HK's standard. Looks like I'll be patronizing this place reallllyyyyy often.

A lil overly-sweetened for my liking, but the mishmash of textures plus an enthusiastic portion of toppings celebrates the treat we Singaporeans are crazy about; Bingsu. Maybe it's got to do w the whole Korean wave. Your call.
Inspired by egg slut LA, I've just got to satisfy my burger-egg craving. And Jamie Oliver's recipe is here to help. 100% handmade, even down to the buns. Feeling very accomplished now, I get the satisfaction of homegrown cooking. Hound me for the recipe maybe?? Just kidding, I'm all too excited to share. For the patties, add in a dollop of French mustard, tbsp of flour, an egg yolk, chopped cloves of garlic (depending on how strong you want the flavour to be) then mix evenly. Shape into whatever shapes you deem fit; a giant ❤️ seems like a good idea now.. Then season w salt and pepper. Add a small dent to the middle of the patty and fry over low heat till desired charred-ness. Make sure it's cooked though....... Flip patties continually, say once every 4mins?? Try not to finish them before plating. *alt: try mixing in Sriracha for an xtra oooooomph. Top w sautéed onions and scrambled/sunnies.
Already back for seconds, or maybe I just need a lifetime supply of their all-incredible gastronomic delight of fusion cuisine. Honestly, what a apt choice of a restaurant name for this quaint lil shop sitting at the fringe of the bustling bugis district. I've never expected fusion food to taste so good. My favorites were the must-try hokubee rib eye don ($30 with an onsen egg) and the hangar steak ($27, have you ever tried diaphragm meat!!?). The hokubee rib eye don is really perfected in every sense, from the runny texture of the egg yolk coating their well-seasoned, plump rice grains, to the fatty marbled texture of the rib eye slices. It's hokubee meat for a reason. Totally worth every penny. The only regret is that it doesn't display as photogenically as it's more well-known albeit subpar version *coughs tanuki raw*. Their unique yet down to earth cooking will definitely sit well w the local palette. Not to mention they use the french's method of sous vide cooking #healthy. What's not to love.
Feeling like a top class chef already when I threw in sautéed mushrooms, tomatoes, chicken slices and spinach over a bed of fluffy eggs. Ok not really. But you get the idea. This was quite the yum.

The full bodied coffee carried distinct notes of hazelnut, with subtle aftertones of orange peel. Overall a good experimental cup of coffee in my opinion. But I ain't no coffee connoisseur.
Subtly sweet, with a fluffy (but slightly mushy) base, there are what you would look for in pancakes. The whole experience was exemplified w a laid back atmosphere to boot. However, the vanilla bean ice cream that we chose was pretty subpar, even though it still managed to carry a distinct flavour. Sadly, without anything spectacular to solidify a return, paddington's pancakes are unlikely to quantify another visit from me. Well, unless you're a major pancake fan. Then it will be likely that you'll be camping there.
Mastering the perfect balance between chic and casual, you can be sure Nassim Hill has got it right. They have managed to incorporate a wide range of savoury delights in their menu to cater for every craving from breakfast to dinner. It was really worth the money the last time we went, especially with the 1-for-1 offer for mains. Our fav picks were the French bouchot mussels ($25), poutine fries and the chili crab pasta ($16, small portion). Yummmyyyyyy.
Nothing says fulfilling better than an affordable protein boost over at Shabu Sai. With a mighty high pile of chicken, beef and pork slices to Shabu your way into your tummy, you'll be guaranteed to leave this place feeling as satiated as ever. Not to mention a full wallet too, with weekday buffet lunches going at 16.90++. Oh they have a wide selection of vegetables to negate the richness of the meat as well. We're all going there for the veggies yes.
