We went to the JEWEL outlet - Tanyu Exclusive. They have a free flow jelly dessert which you can pick and choose the condiments. Free when you leave them a google review.

Broth was really good. Companions loved it and staff were in the ball to constantly top up the broth. Sides were not great sadly. The bbq golden mushroom was quite bland and very disappointing.

My second time at Publico and this time I was seated inside. They messed up our reservation and had to wait close to 30 min before we were seated.

Pasta werenā€™t great- the only one worth getting IMO was the beef lasagna which honestly is also quite expensive. But compared to the Linguine Vongole ($28) which was bland and tiny, this was way better. Pizzas are a safer choice.

We got the Deep Fried Mars Bars and Oreos ($16) for dessert and it was doughy. Very much preferred the ones from Chippyā€™s instead.

Music was also overwhelmingly loud. We found ourselves having to shout to each other which wasnā€™t pleasant at all.

Other than the ambience which was beautiful, I doubt I will return again considering itā€™s already my second time.

Honestly a steal for ramen and in an air conditioned environment but it was just salty with barely any savoury goodness of how a tonkotsu should be.

Probably a good cheap eat for people on a budget or students!

Imported from Taiwan. This was my companionā€™s fav dish that night. Great grilled taste, seasoned well and its really not easy to grill cuttlefish and not make it too chewy.

Surprise recommendation from the staff there.

I have to say they do their seafood very well. This was my fav dish from them. The umami is pronounced and cooked just right. Itā€™s also a sight to watched it get cooked.

So good. You know itā€™s a good meat when it looks like beef when itā€™s raw. I usually like fattier cuts like belly but thought this to have a really good balance of fats and lean meat.

Brooklyn style pizzeria at MBS! Was pleasantly surprised at how good this was! There was a slight queue to get seated around 8pm on a Saturday but we got seated pretty quickly as we were a smaller group of two. There are more seatings in twos so can go in smaller groups next time!

Pretty reasonably priced if I must say. We got the NEW YORK FAMOUS ORIGINAL ($29). Thin crust that's is still slightly doughy and not crispy kind which I like! Flavours on the seemingly simple pizza was good. But also quite spicy for me (I can't take spicy well). It has a good crust but some parts burnt which I feel is inevitable and my companion loved it so I guess it's personal preference?

We also got their House Arnold Palmer ($6) which is lemonade + iced tea. Pretty yummy but you will to stir a bit before drinking.

Would love to return to try out their Bee Sting the next time!

Tried this pretty new dessert place JANE DEER SUGAR WATER along Liang Seah Rd which took over a mala space I really liked. It seems to be a popular brand from China.

Their desserts are on the pricier side for sure. We got their The Bath Teddy Bear ($9.80), Super Multi-Awned Little Round Son ($8.80) and Original Flavor Double Skin Milk ($8.80).

Unfortunately all of the dessert fell short to our expectations and considering that there are so many other dessert shops in the vicinity I would really prefer the others.

The Double Skin Milk tasted like milk powder, the mochi balls were powdery in the middle and the mango sago were felt watered down. Same as the coconut milk in the teddy bear bowl. I have to say that their mangos and taro mochis were the only saving grace but nothing much to shout about either.

I will probably not be back again.

I believe this was about $60 for all the layers of goodness? Very similar concept and style to the likes of House of Chirashi at East Village which is way nearer to my place. Pretty decent for a Japanese place in the heartlands but I have something similar near me so I probably will not visit unless Iā€™m in the vicinity.

However they do have an Omakase option which was something interesting! You can check out IG @canihaveabitepls for a more detailed review

Tried their new dish recently as I saw lots of people ordering this the last time I was here. If there lots of Chinese ordering this so this must be good right?

It's basically a pot with all parts of beef from tripe to tendon etc in a light beef broth that reminds me of å…°å·žę‹‰é¢ but better. Really good and theyre having a great promo for this pot + 6 sets of skewers+ 1 dessert for about $55? Very value for money considering each set of skewer is already $3.80

I have to say. This is probably my favourite Chinese skewer bar hands down. Of cos there are things for them to improve on or have a wider variety of skewers, itā€™s really really good.

Their skewers are all priced at 3 sticks for $3.80 which is not too bad but some items are a little smaller than usual skewers we see. They donā€™t have some of the usuals like golden enoki mushrooms and the chives felt like a low effort level dish where they blanched the veg and added some powder spices to give it some flavour.

Their chicken feet is sooo good. Itā€™s 2 for $3.80 but the size is pretty big. And they are the ONLY Chinese skewer shop with éø”äø­å® which is basically the soft bone at the palm of the chicken feet. My favourite when I was living in China and can be found in almost all shaokao shops there but I have never ever seen it here till this place!! So Iā€™m super overjoyed to find them again.

Their mixian is also one of the best Iā€™ve had here in Singapore. Iā€™m comparing to Chinese mixian which I used to eat a lot when I was living in China so this could be a bias on my end as itā€™s a comfort food for me. But the bite and texture is very good even for Chinese standards imo! I like their pig intestines one but Chinese do it a lot smellier so I donā€™t think itā€™s for everyone. ($11.80 for the noodles and good to share with 2 if you have skewers!)

I feel like this is expats and TripAdvisorā€™s best kept secret. Crowd is mostly expat and they offer a really good deal on saturdays where you will get free flow oysters + Prosecco and their cocktails for only $48!!!

I had half a mind to not share this gem of mine but I really think itā€™s too good not to share. Just donā€™t make them too popular that itā€™s too hard to book.

Oysters are not exactly the fat and juicy ones but at this price + itā€™s free flow can eat till shiok la
