Mussels and Clams in Sake Broth Mussels and Clams in Sake Broth ($16.80) Back to Essen@Pinnacle to have @wildwildcatch 's Shellfish in Sake Broth but picked the hybrid this time. Was not disappointed! Aside from the fresh clams which I had previously, the mussels were also juicy and plump without any fishy taste! It also goes really well with the sambal chilli provided! Absolutely loved this and I polished the broth even though it was a tad salty cos who doesn't like umami laden sake broth after such a generous portion of shellfish has simmered in it right😋!

Local Pretty Atas Watering Hole with Good Food at Pretty Good Prices I got to notice Wine and Chef when I passed by this restaurant and stole a quick peek at the menu. I liked the variety and then made a mental note to find out more about this place. I got more interested in it as I found out more. So finally coming here is like fulfilling a wish made almost a year ago. And a nice wish it is because the food is so good and comforting. Iberico Pork Jowl is so beautifully grilled to have a lace of char while retaining the meat juices to keep the meat tender and moist. Good to be eaten on its own and also good to be eaten with the slightly tangy jaew sauce. I love this so much. Scallop Capellini features sweet, plump, succulent Hokkaido sashimi scallop, pops of umami from the flying fish roe and very flavourful capellini, which is is a bit like our local favourite, mee kia. A very well-executed dish. Venere Rice Pudding has the creamiest coconut ice cream that I totally love. The black rice adds the wholesomeness to the dessert. And there are edible sparkles added that will set off mini "fireworks" in the mouth. Lots of cackling and pops ensured when biting into them, which is very interesting. This place is like a very cozy, comfortable den where the locals and expats hang around to enjoy good wine and good food that is prepared European style, with a bit of local twists. The service is very good, being polite and efficient. The food has elements that will cater well to the locals' taste buds and still appeal to non-locals. This is one place I will recommend to anyone wanting to take the first step into trying European style cuisine. I'm really impressed with the food here, not fancy but very delicious. There are other items in the menu I can't wait to try. Thoughts: Great place to chill, wine and dine. By the way, this place is pretty dark, so it's great for romantic dates. If photo snapping, remember to turn off the flash (direct flash does not make the food look good), hold the camera or phone still after taking the photos so the lens can have sufficient time to gather enough light to yield clear pictures.

Irish Duck Confit Much better than our other main. The duck leg was fascinating because it had the consistency of duck confit but tasted like Cantonese roast duck. Comes with potato croquette and corn kernels.

Wagyu Beef Cheek Pasta This was fatal. At this price point, you can only afford to be so-so, you cannot screw up something as basic as cooking pasta. These noodles were obviously not cooked enough and were hard. The beef was braised very well and we loved it, but that's no redemption for the dish.

(probably) Cheapest Waffles In Town! Love their waffles here and so value for money! $7 for buttermilk with 1 scoop. $3 for additional scoop and $0.80 for premium flavour. $10.80 for pistachio and Thai milk tea here!

Red Velvet Waffle W Ice Cream $10.70 Cones with cream cheese sauce. Top up of 0.80¢ for premium chocolate choice. Paired with Nama dark chocolate, condense milk and chocolate sauce at bottom. 2.5/5

Lychee sorbet on Buttermilk Waffles A nice humble ice cream cafe in the west (yesss) that serves a pretty good selection of flavours. The lychee sorbet, refreshing in the intense heat, was denser than the normal/icy sorbet. The buttermilk waffle was sweet but it could have been more crispy on the outside, and fluffier on the inside. 7/10, would return.

margaret river angus rib eye a thick cut of steak that was hearty and juicy. no doubt a satisfying, quality steak which one would expect, though not mind-blowing. had it medium rare, which was just nice for a tender and juicy steak. the potatoes and greens accompanied the meat well. note: think this was part of the august’19 lunch menu! 9/10 🌟

Passionfruit Sorbet Passionfruit sorbet (sorbet of the day for set lunch $49++) Sorbet was refreshing and was a good balance of sweet and sour. Went well with berries.

Margaret River Angus Ribeye Margaret river angus ribeye (mains for $49++ set lunch) Comes with salsa Verde, roasted kipfler, garlic cream and tendrils. Ribeye 180g was substantial for a female but may be small for a hungry man. Had it medium rare and it was very juicy and yummy.

✨L.E. Cafe Confectionery & Pastry✨ The beancurd tart literally just melts in your mouth!! The beancurd filling is so silky-smooth, jigglyyy and soft like tofu Paired with a buttery crumbly crust, it’s #lovee It’s pretty refreshing too especially when eaten out of the fridge;)) That refreshingness makes it dangerously addictive. Honestly, I wouldn’t hesitate to pick this over the normal egg tarts! BEST EATEN COLD! 10/10 would recommend This time I got their old school cakes too. Decorated with colourful creams, different cream patterns & jams of different flavours lying atop a soft and fluffy sponge cake; Nostalgic vibes Featuring 📸 ~ Bean Curd Tarts (8pcs/box) $10 ~ Buttercream Sponge Cakes (5pcs/box) $9.80 I highly recommend to consume on the date of purchase cause the crust will get softer [NOTE: I called in to pre-order in advance before heading down cause the tarts always run out so fasttt]

Box Of Beancurd Tarts ($11) Loving the chilled beancurd filling together with the crumbly texture of the tart. The soya beancurd was soft and silky smooth and held solidly in a buttery tart cup. Personally I feel that the soya bean flavour could be stronger but nonetheless these tarts are delicious and a healthier choice than the usual egg tarts. Definitely best to have them chill.

Beancurd Tart I was really excited to try this because I love beancurd and egg tarts! However, I do not think the two go well together. Individually, the beancurd was soft, silky and smooth. It’s more of a soy pudding consistency rather than a beancurd. It’s not very sweet, so I think it’s a good gift for your ahgong/ahma! But personally, I would have preferred it to be a little sweeter. The crust is very thick and crumbly, with a slight buttery taste. The price is very reasonable, the tarts are sold at $10 for a box of 8.

Matcha Tarts We had a nice surprise when the tarts came. Instead of 1 huge tart, we had 5 mini bite sized tarts. The matcha was balanced well, not too sweet-just like how we liked it. The filling was warm and really nice. The flat white was pretty good too!:)

Foie Gras Don ($32) Pleasantly surprised by this beautiful floral arrangement on my Foie Gras Don 🌸 at @maisonikkoku! The Foie Gras was perfectly executed with a creamy centre and slightly crispy outer shell, blending well with the slightly savoury and mildly spicy sauce~ Oh so sinful, but so good! 😍💜💜💜 Only gripe is that the portion is a little small for $32, but I guess you're paying for art? 😝

Salted Caramel French Toast Dim lighting, bar-ish cafe (they actually do have a bar upstairs). Unsure whether it is temporary, but the opening time changed to 10 am. Service was okay, although it did took some time for the f&b to arrive Salted caramel French toast (22 sgd)-quite hefty of a price for a french toast. The type where it isnt custardy on its own and gets the creaminess from everything around it. Could have been better 3.5/5 Maison ikkoku latte (7 sgd)-im fine as long as it's not acidic, this one is good.

Lunch Set This was part of their 3 course lunch set where we opted for the truffle mushroom soup as the appetizer and ribeye steak and barramundi fish for the mains. we ended with the burnt cheesecake and honeycomb ice cream as desserts. the barramundi fish was delightful. skin was crispy, the fish was so smooth and i enjoyed it with the mashed potatoes. the sauce was on the saltier side. the steak was served with thyme butter and thick cut fries

Crème Brûlée ($16) a good end to a lovely meal. the crème brûlée was super soft and eggy. i love it!!! the sugar was also caramelised nicely

Mac and Cheese ($22) the main reason why i decided to visit bedrock was for their mac and cheese. the macaroni was not the typical curved shaped kind, but rather it’s the skinner and longer type. cheese was nicely burnt to give a nice crust and was not too salty as well

Duck Drumstick Hor Fun Carrying on from my previous post about the newly revamped Plaza Singapura's Kopitiam, this time I tried one of the bigger names here, Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient for 4 consecutive years (2016 – 2019) @shihuiyuan.sg. The first thing that I realised about the Hor Fun here is that it is not the kind that I envision it to be, the noodles here are thinner and longer, reminiscent of those seen in a bowl of Ipoh Hor Fun. The gravy is also less thick, making it easy to drink, akin to a soup that is packed full of flavours. This is due to a recipe containing over 30 herbs and chicken and duck meat and bones. The gravy is supposedly brewed for over 30 years. I opted for the duck drumstick hor fun and it was super good! The meat is fall off the bone kind of tender and soaked up the gravy really well. This also came with a side of mushrooms and vegetables and even though the mushrooms are a side here, they are so good that they are a star in their own right; you can order a mushroom hor fun instead if mushrooms are your kind of poison. To elevate the dish, try it with some of their homemade chilli as well. I would recommend that you give this stall a try if you are a hor fun fan and if you are not, I urge you to give this a try too. It might just change your mind about the dish!

Specialty Pork Liver (Dry) Have you visited the revamped Kopitiam at Plaza Singapura? It’s filled with a collection of Michelin food stalls and some familiar favourites. Amongst them is Ah Ma Chi Mian, which have taken the Singaporean hawker scene by storm, with at least 9 outlets today. I ordered the Specialty Pork Liver (Dry) since this is one of my favourite dishes and I have heard good things about it! Each piece of liver was cooked to perfection! I have seen it being compared to the texture of foie gras online and this description isn’t an overstatement. It has to be said this a bit pricey though for a kopitiam meal but it is worth every cent, with its flavour and texture on point as well as the sheer amount of ingredients contained within. Order an additional bowl of to complete your meal ◡̈

Hawker Chan@Plaza Sing The chicken soft and tender. The chicken skin was soft and juicy. But portion damn small la. Total $8 with additional sio bak

Truffle Shuffle 💵: $22++ 📈: 8/10 🤔: Truffle taste on the pizza could be stronger, but other than that, everything was good. Their pizza dough is to-die-for and also the main reason as to why I made a return trip. Good pizza at a great price, definitely recommend this place although I would advise you to get the tomato-based pizzas as this one might get a bit jelak (unless you’re sharing!)

Buffalo Wings burpple review 💵: $22++ 📈: 7/10 🤔: Part of the Super Single set, the wings were coated with a spicy buffalo sauce. Although it wasn’t the best, the wings were still pretty decent. The marinade had a tabasco-like taste to it, spicy with a tad bit of sour which was very appetising! Full review on my Instagram @euniceeatseverything https://www.instagram.com/euniceeatseverything/

Dangerous Diego 💸: $18++ 📈: 8/10 💬: Chewy and thin sourdough crust paired with a tomato base which has a kick to it, this was everything I ever wanted in a pizza and more. First time having chorizo and I must say that I preferred it to ham, and the fact that that was the main topping on the pizza also allowed it to stand out. Had 1/2 a pizza to myself and was pretty full after. Will definitely return to try their other innovative pizza flavours!

Artisan dessert A fancy restaurant to indulge in artisan desserts. Love my experience at Mad About Sucre with my friends. We got 4 desserts that come with tea/cocktail pairing. The service staff were really attentive, taking their time to explain the ingredients in each dessert. Expect to spend about $30 per pax but I feel that the money spent is worth the experience.

Grilled Cauliflower Steak ($35+) 😍 5 years after they’ve opened as a patisserie, Mad About Sucre has evolved and recently gone through a huge makeover. The new interior design concept is edgy and unconventional, with many colours juxtaposed next to each other, and yet it had really cosy and chill vibes as I settled in. They even have a small table lamp that acts as quite a nice lighting tool for photos too :D Glad to say that along with the physical makeover, they’ve matured as a full restaurant serving a solid selection of starters and mains, with really tasty savouries! My favourite of the night was the grilled cauliflower steak ($35+) with a bed of gherkins salsa, topped with miso, almonds, figs and prunes. The combination of flavours were addictively good, and you must eat every part together along with the prunes. It was as flavourful as a full meat dish and I didn’t feel like I was eating a vegetarian dish at all! Textures were on point too with the almonds giving a nice crunch. Highly recommend trying this when you’re here!

Chocolate Yolk, Vanilla And Raspberry 🙂 Part of Mad About Sucre’s New Year Festive Dinner Menu ($165+) ~ This dish was the second dessert course of the Menu, and it featured a very unique texture of chocolate, which is called the chocolate yolk, the last dark brown sphere on the plate. As the name suggests, it’s like an egg yolk with an extremely thin and delicate membrane holding a runny dark chocolate inside. The moment it’s cut open, the chocolate just bursts out and it’s amazing! The chocolate runs and it is to be eaten with a nice combination of textures and flavours with the vanilla mousse, raspberry sauce and sphere and also sponge cake to soak up the remainder chocolate! Very creative dessert and I hope this would appear once again beyond this one-off festive menu!
