Pasta was average - not the best but acceptable. The sauce was not savoury, but on the lighter side. Prawns were peeled and deveined.
The fish and chips was delicious. The highlight was the fish (seabass)! It tasted fresh and crispy, and thankfully wasn’t covered with too much batter.
Place is located approx 6-8 mins walk from Jurong East MRT. Its a small place so indoor seating is limited and the gap between each table is quite narrow. However, there are some seats outdoor (sheltered) as well.
Savoury, tasty and unique. Period.
A small and cosy Japanese restaurant that allows you to DIY your own okonomiyaki. It was satisfying to watch the okonomiyaki cooking process done right before you by the experienced staff. Once it’s done, you can add your own sauce and bonito flakes however much you want. The okonomiyaki was thick and yummy. It would have been perfect if it had been cooked slightly longer.
Worth a visit but be prepared to wait for seats during dinner time as the shop space is limited.
Situated near Tan Kah Kee MRT station, this cafe looks asethetically pleasing upon entering. Ordered the salmon grain bowl and was served a generous portion. Overall it was not bad, but felt that the salmon mayo was a little dry.
For drinks, we had camellia tea (simple, normal) and avo-latte. For the latter, the taste of latte was rather overpowering so we couldn’t really taste the avocado even though it seems like a substantial amount was added. At a high price point of $9, I wouldn’t go for the avo-latte again.
Imagine finishing a meal that leaves you with withdrawal syndrome that you decide to return for another round, within a week. This plate of crabmeat pasta at rookery is capable of that (and I really went back) A tasty plate of pasta filled with a generous amount of crabmeat is definitely worth a visit, or even a revisit! The pork cheek pasta was equally good, the pasta sauce was slightly citrusy that would definitely whet your appetite.
The only downside imo, is that this place is a little dark and echoey so it may be not be the most ideal place for having long chats.
Located inside 100am mall, near the entrance, Morettino is a spacious cafe with many seats.
Ordered their seafood pasta and carbonara. Their seafood pasta looked appetizing when it came and true enough, the prawns tasted very fresh. The sauce was slightly acidic, but it made the dish tastier.
The carbonara wasn’t the usual cream-based pasta served in most places, which is good as the taste wasn’t overwhelmingly rich.
Both of the pastas were firm, yet chewy!
Value for money coconut ice cream and thai milktea!
Although the shop’s space is tight and narrow, it has a good ambience (love their choice of music playing in the background). Nesuto serves pretty good quality cakes and tea (they have a unique list to choose from).
Ordered the yuzu raspberry cake and it tasted light, with a well-balanced tinge of sourness and sweetness. The cheesecake came in 3 layers - the top layer tasted like caramel, the middle (my favourite part) was the cheese and the last layer was chocolate/brownie which was a little too hard.
For the tea, we had peach oolong and earl grey blue flower. The peach oolong was light and refreshing while the earl grey blue flower was fragrant. They also provide a cup of refill for your tea!
Left the place feeling satisfied :)
Located inside One Raffles Place, this place serves a variety of soba (hot and cold). Using burpple 1-1, this bowl of soba was definitely worth it, a generous amount of chicken was given. The yuzu gave the soup a refreshing taste and being a miso soup, it wasn’t overly salty too. Would visit again to try the other flavours they offer.
The moment you enter, you’ll be greeted by the vintage vibe of the cafe. It felt very cosy, absolutely love it! They have quite large tables which would be suitable for groups.
Ordered grilled chicken BLT and it came in 2 huge triangular portion. The chicken had a flavourful taste and the cheese used was of good quality! Would recommend ordering that.
Unfortunately, the potato waffles pales in comparison to the grilled chicken BLT. It was a tad bland and I felt a bit ‘jelak’ by the time i finished the first piece. Waffles could be complemented by the sour cream that came with it, but the taste of sour cream was pretty light as well.
Moving on to the drinks, the cafe latte was one of the best lattes I’ve had! It was smooth and has a slight roasty aftertaste. For the matcha latte, it was a tad thick and bitter. Glad that a generous amount of matcha powder was used, so that it would be great for those who prefer their matcha latte to be thick. Personally, I would go back for their cafe latte over matcha latte.
Visited this place on a Saturday afternoon and it was fully occupied. The cafe isn’t big, but they have long tables so it may be a feasible brunch place for groups.
We ordered the big brekie set. Overall, I find the set a bit too oily especially with their sausage, bacon (it came soaked with oil) and mushrooms. However, I enjoyed the bread which was crispy and avocado which tasted just nice - not too mushy or unriped.
The ice cafe latte was slightly too acidic for my liking, could have use a little more milk. The minty cool lime tea was made simply from a tea bag, nothing fanciful and do not think it’s worth the price.
If you are looking for a delicious and filling donburi bowl, this will not disappoint!
