Honestly the food here was not great. Not worth the money and time travelling. Just paying for the ambience.
We oredered the Primavera and Ravioli. The pizza curst was fluffy and chewy (yet not overly dough-y), exactly how I like my pizzas. The ravioli had a strong truffle aroma and taste but got overly cloying towards the end because it was too creamy for my liking. The ravioli dough was also abit too thick for my liking.
Nonetheless, it was a good meal and way too much even for two very hungry people. Maybe cus we ate too much of the complimentary bread which was just soooo good!!
Nice ambience as well but it was too hot to sit outside in the afternoon. Will be back to order the pizza and try a different pasta!
Had the 1 for 1 lunch set which came with a bowl of noodles, a side of 4 dumplings and a drink ($16).
We were served with pickled beansprouts as an appetiser. It was refreshing.
We got the fried pierogi and smoked duck. Both were good and i honestly can't decide which was better. Both were just so different. The pierogi was filled with truffle mash and surprisingly went well with the crisp outer dumpling skin. The smoked duck was also perfectly cooked and the dumpling skin was just the right thickness and texture. Was really impressed by the dumplings and will definitely come back to try the rest.
Sadly the noodles were lacklustre. Just didn't really enjoy the texture of the noodles although it was rather tasty.
Overall, still a satisfying meal and will come back to use my other lunch coupon.
Queued about 30 mins on a Saturday morning for this. We ordered a dry and a soup version.
The broth was so flavourful - full of umami and sweetness of the prawns and pork bones. Soup also went well with the shallots. Every sip was delightful and I didn't even feel thirsty after the meal. Definitely quality prawn noodles to satisfy my cravings!
Weirdly, the soup accompanying the dry noodles was thicker and richer than the soup version and it tasted slightly better.
I think the only difference between the $5 and $7 version is the number of prawns added. Definitely worth the wait and will return!
We ordered the kimchi pancake, kimchi jjigae and ttukbaegi bulgogi (mushroom soup), both the stew and soup came with a bowl of rice and were full of flavour, ingredients and were very satisfying. Kimchi pancake was also yummy, although I would have preferred it to be more crisp rather than just soft.
The banchan (mashed potato and kimchi coleslaw) was good and also refillable.
We paid about 38 dollars for 3 pax. The store is located about 5 mins walk from onenorth MRT - will definitely return!
So happy that they opened a second outlet in the east!
We got salted butterscotch and chocolate atop a fluffy waffle ($6.70) - everything was extremely satisfying. The waffle was not as buttery as I remembered it to be, but texture was still good.
Note that it a very small outlet with only 4 counter seats.
Will definitely return to try the other flavours with their cone (which I remembered to be good as well).
Sadly, I've used finish all four coupons for this place. Love the chill cosy vibes - perfect tea time hideaway when I'm sick and tired of work.
Black coffee is slightly too acidic for me and it's a bit weird that they don't serve cappuccino. Nonetheless, would still pay full price for a drink here ($6 per cup)
Chanced upon this cosy little cafe and turns out that its on BB as well. We had the iced mocha and iced black. Both were good - mocha was thick and chocolatey and the ice black was aromatic and not overly acidic.
Had a nice time chilling at this place. The owner was also super friendly and was so knowledgeable and passionate about coffee. Would really recommend stopping by if you're in the vicinity!
We paid $6 for two good quality drinks - definitely a steal! Will return for sure.
Given the limited choices available on BB for Sunday lunch around CBD area, we found ourselves at Noods & Meats.
Got the Bae Noods and Bebek Noods (which we changed to rice). Bebek was supposed to be roasted duck confit, but it was unlike any other confit I've ever had - meat was tough, dry and did not fall off the bone. The only saving grace was its smoky flavour and that it had the right amount of charred bits.
Bae Noods didn't fare much better either. Granted, the noods did taste like nice, atas ban mian, but the beef brisket was lacklustre. Honestly, all we could taste was the fat which was too rubbery. Truffle taste and aroma was surprisingly strong. Note that the portions are quite small.
They had really good service though; although BB listed their opening hours as 11am, they actually only open at 12pm, but the staff let us order anyway.
Spent $22 for 2 dishes and an iced coffee (which tasted like instant coffee).
Really wanted to like this place, but it fell short of my (already very low) expectations. Don't think I will return.
We've been here at least 10 times and we freaking love the food here.
I used to love the ro ppong (pictured in foreground) - cheesy, the noodles have the perfect bite and they are so generous with the ingredients. Really the ultimate comfort dish. However, can be abit jerlat for one person to eat this on his/her own. So we always order a soupy dish to complement with the ro ppong.
My favourite dish now would have to be the cha ppong (pictured in background) - there's just so much dimension to the flavour? The first thing that hits you is the aroma, then you get the intense "wok hei" flavour and thereafter you get the spice and the seafoody flavour. I don't know why I'm getting so emotional talking about a dish, but I really LOVE the cha ppong. Downside though, even the level 1 is a bit toooo spicy for me (but then again I find 小辣 mala too spicy)....
I think the best part about this is that it's 1 for 1 on Burpple Beyond!! Once we finish with the coupons for the jem outlet we're gonna use the ones at Somerset :p
Their drinks are a tad too sweet and slightly pricey, so we usually just order bottled water (cus cha ppong very spicy......)
Visited the Killiney Road outlet. Was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance - spacious and minimalistic.
We had the truffle mac and cheese, savory waffles, chicken and mushroom quiche and the raspberry chocolate tart.
My favourite was the savory waffles (pictured). Nice texture to the waffles, soft on the inside with a crisp exterior. Bacon and sausages went well with the maple syrup and the other sauce (which presumably was mushroom soup?). Simple but well executed dish.
Truffle mac had a strong truffle taste and scent. Needed a bit of salt and pepper, but was a bit jerlak at the end.
Quiche was a tad dry but has a good base.
The raspberry chocolate tart was a delight. The tartness of the raspberry cut well through the dense (but not overly sweet) chocolate.
Coffee was good as well.
Will return for the waffles and to try their other desserts and pastries!
