226 Years Shoyu Recipe Ultimate Ramen This ramen place no need to introduce further for their famous fire performance, but their popularity has since quiet down. There’s only two table occupied when I came on weekday dinner time. When you order the signature ramen with their 226 years shoyu recipe, you get to choose whether you want to experience the fire show or not. If this is your first time then you should go for it at least once. Get your camera ready as they’re pouring the fire onto your bowl of ramen at the counter. This unique taste of ramen blended with their chicken broth and flaming Negi juice, an original shoyu ramen recipe from Kyoto. The ultimate ramen comes with chashu, pork slice, egg, seaweed and corns. The portion is available to choose from either regular or lite. So if you prefer to have lesser noodles, the lite portion will reduced to half of regular.

Disappointed Quite disappointed with the repeated order. The serving was lacking of abalone, blueberries , pear sticks, a pair of oranges in the second order and amount of vegetables and fruits was very little compared to first order. Was told by the staff there’s a surcharge for abalone which was not stated on the promotion poster next to the cashier! They were out of blueberries. In end my order was topped with abalone and a pair of oranges.

Laksa Cheese Fries ($14) Fries topped with laksa gravy, runny egg, oozy mozzarella, prawns and fried beancurd strips .

Golden Sand Chicken & Waffle ($20) Creamery butter sauce coated Southern fried chicken served with crisp buttermilk waffle and topped with golden sand .

The Beast Nasi Lemak Burger ($22) Southern fried chicken thigh smothered with house-made sambal topped with a runny egg, sandwiched between deep fried fragrant coconut rice “buns”, served with a side of luncheon meat fries .

Atas Prawn Noodles? Went to check out Izy Fook a while back since they were on #BurppleBeyond! I must say that the service was great and our service staff was extremely attentive and friendly throughout the meal 🤩 First up, we had the 𝐓𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐧 𝐑𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧 ($25) which came with a tiger prawn, roast pork belly and an ajitama egg. The noodles were cooked al dente, retaining its bouncy feel and the prawn broth was so good to slurp up! 😋Honestly, it felt like an atas bowl of prawn noodles. 😅

Truffle Wagyu Don! Our other dish was the 𝐖𝐚𝐠𝐲𝐮 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐥𝐞 𝐃𝐨𝐧 ($34) which came topped with truffle shavings and slices of marinated wagyu. We did wish that they could have been more generous with the portion as it was a pretty small serving overall.

Interesting flavours Quite a small portion but was delicious nevertheless. Strong clam flavours for clam fans

Flying Truffle Somen with Ikura and Sakura Ebi ($20) The Flying Somen was disappointing considering that it's one of their recommendations and signature. The taste was flat, and the somen wasn't as light and refreshing as I had expected it to me. It was also difficult to eat as the noodles got dry after a while.

Omakase Headed down to Hana to try their Omakase ($58++/pax) which came with: 1. Chilled Japanese women with Sakura ebi 2. Shisamo salad 3. Assorted sashimi 4. Grilled lobster with mentaiko 5. Battered Hiroshima oyster 6. Beef tenderloin with garlic chips 7. Ikura & tobiko sushi 8. Unagi sushi with tanuki 9. Yellowtail sushi with truffle kombu 10. Caramelised salmon sushi 11. Truffle chawanmushi 12. Kisu tempura donburi 13. Miso soup 14. Dessert The sashimi and sushi were very fresh. The sushi were excellent - the addition of tanuki (Japanese breadcrumbs), truffle kombu and aburi char elevated the texture and flavour of each sushi. The torched mentaiko went well with the lobster and the combination was full of umami. The deep fried oyster was soft, plump and not fishy at all. The beef tenderloin cubes were served medium, tender and juicy. The silky chawanmushi was thoroughly infused with fragrance of truffle. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much from a relatively cheap Omakase but this exceeded my expectations. The food was solid and quite a number of dishes turned out to be a delightful. The portion of each dish was small but they definitely add up. What a pleasant surprise!

Affordable Omakase Decent Omakase but you really get the quality you paid for - that is to say, no frills and pretty average. Don't expect this to be a gateway meal for those who aren't really sold on the Omakase experience; it's likely that this will leave a poor taste in their mouth. Ultimately, Singaporeans are a cheapskate bunch and they will get just the $38 set, find that it didn't match up to their expectation of the 'Omakase' featured in media, and then vow never to return. Lest this happens to you, do remember to keep an open mind and approach Hana with more Curiosity rather than Expectations.

Morning Brew ($22) Morning Brew is an interesting mix of black tea-steeped rum, cardamom-infused Kahlua, and bitters. This drink might sound bitter, but it is surprisingly subtly sweet. Notes of spicy flavor with hints of oak and toffee.

Poolside slipper ($22) Hello, sweet summertime. Summer is best enjoyed at the pool, explaining the potentially confusing name. This is basically a vodka (instead of rum) mojito with watermelon, mint, and lime juice. Nice and sparkly with the soda water, this drink reminds me of Girl Scout Thin Mints cookies. A sassy and refreshing drink.

Highschool sweetheart ($22) Tinge of sour from the sour plum, sweet and a little fresh from the citrus and guava, and a kick from the vodka. A tropical, bright and refreshing drink that’s easy to drink. Layer of frothy foam makes it smooth too.

Ala-carte Korean BBQ One of those times when you feel like eating korean bbq but do not feel like over-stuffing yourself with a buffet. So, we gave this korean bbq restaurant near telok ayer mrt a try since they are on #Burpple1for1 deal. Free flow side dishes and food wise, recommended to order the pork cheek/jowl (so good with just the right amount of fat), beef is not too good so you can skip it. Overall, everything is good but nothing is particularly mind-blowing. Food: 6.5/10 Ambience: 6/10 Total Damage: $25-30/pax - with Burpple Beyond

Korean Food #BurppleBeyond 1-1 Army Stew ($28) Kimchi Pancake ($17.90) Located at a super convenient location and every staff was friendly and helpful. Food was good especially the kimchi pancake, filled with flavours with the just the right combination of flour and other ingredients. Portions were quite big as we couldn’t finish all at the end. A hearty meal after a Long day of work was perfect at baek jung. Will definitely come back to try others, super worthy with Beyond!

Nox - Dine in the Dark Ever dined in complete darkness? If not, this September is your chance to experience it at NOX’s 11th Anniversary celebration! To celebrate the 11 incredible years, NOX is bringing back the top 12 fan-favorite dishes from the past 11 years, all month long! Hurry make your reservation now for an unforgettable dining experience!

Nox Dinner This is not a restaurant, rather it’s more of an experience. You’re basically eating in the dark so you don’t know what you’re eating until you get explanations after your meal. You do get tasty stuff that’s appropriate value for the money though. Do highlight any dietary restrictions or allergies before dining... this is really important. Since it’s dark, the wait staff in the dining hall are naturally visually impaired as they are the best fit for this role. Anything you need help with, just ask... you won’t see anything in the dining hall, except for maybe the red infrared camera... That said, no food pics... if you want one, face your camera down on something and shoot... that’s what you’ll see, just black... Cocktails are slightly pricey though. Taste: ★★★★☆ Price: ★★★★☆ Value for money: ★★★☆☆ Service: ★★★★☆

Dinner in the Dark ($88++ for 12 tasting dishes). I thoroughly enjoyed my first dinner experience at NOX, even though they've been around since 2013. It was an emotive dinner experience, as I went through excitement and anxiety, followed by plenty of mystery and fun as I got used to the darkness. 🔸 The loss of vision is said to heighten your sense of taste, though I'm not exactly sure of that, as it could be attributed to the use of stronger flavours and more premium ingredients. However, what is certain is that I heard every word my dining companions said over dinner (yes, no distractions due to mobile phones or checking out of cute people across the table!). Good place for bonding. 🔸 Even if you've been here before, you could consider checking it out again as they have a new Head Chef Shahrom, as well as locally inspired cocktails and mystery drink tasting experiences by Head Bartender Hussien. 🔸 Dinner menu changes monthly, but should always consist of 3 courses with 4 tasting dishes per course (4 appetizer, 4 mains, and 4 desserts). For an additional $50++ per person, you can opt for their newly launched mystery cocktail tasting experience featuring three libations; or $40++ for three wines to pair with the dinner. 🔸 Pictured is my pre-dinner cocktail - Raspberry Dance ($20++) with Vodka, Peach Liqueur, Egg White, Lemon and Raspberries. A sweet and refreshing drink to get you in the mood first :) 🔸 🔸 [Hosted]

Strawberry Peppercorn Sorbet Refreshing end to the meal, with a beautiful yuzu peppercorn consommé that was the only alcohol we had that night. Loved the attention they put in to every fish. Probably a contender for one of the best meals this year amidst the madness of all our CB/HA/phase1-1000.

Cheese, Date, Sesame Tuile The dining buddy commented "Never have i seen a date so plump" to which I responded "I know you only go on dates with skinny ones". Jokes aside, that was indeed one plump date, which apparently cost $2 each according to the waiter. I don't know about you but I've never seen such an interesting random pairing of desserts that were just slapped together but somehow found beauty in their chaos.

Red Mullet Nice but otherwise simple mullet fish with what I believe was fish scales scorched in super hot oil.. that strangely resemble the texture of fingernails. The provencal bisque absolutely blew me away with the intensity of flavours.

Paulaner Bräuhaus Lager (0.5l) | $18 Just found the best place for German Beer! Paulaner Bräuhaus Singapore is a three storey high establishment at Millenia Walk offering a menu full of German delicacies — from sausages, pork knuckle, to their countless variations of beer. Went for the classic lager, which was pleasantly light and just a bit hoppy. Though full-bodied, it was very easy to drink. The best part about this? It was 1-for-1! And this promo applies everyday for 300ml & 500ml beers (though certain exclusions apply on Weds, Fri, PH Eve & PH). Rate:🌟🌟🌟🌟

Käsespätzle | $22 Homemade Bavarian egg noodles were of a slight chewy texture, similar to that of gnocchi but flatter. The cream and Emmental cheese combination was not as cheesy as you’d expect in a typical mac and cheese dish, but a cheesiness that was light on the palate. An overall pretty interesting flavour! The garnish of roasted onion rings gave a nice crunch to this carb-loaded dish as well. Complement this with a sausage platter and it’d be a good meal for sharing! Rate:🌟🌟🌟
