Carbonara 28++ The sauce may be free of cream, however the sauce is still wrong. I think there's a misconception about creamless carbonara, anyone can throw egg and cheese tgt, but true carbonara has a particular creamy umami, not empty sourness which is common amongst the creamless carbonara here Overall, we didn't have a pleasant experience here at all. Music was way too loud, they had this very shaky table, and the service was not attentive at all. Apart from once, we had to call them over for everything from refilling water to clearing plates. What's crazy is that we were literally the first table indoor and the only table for quite a while, so I'm really not sure what the service team was doing

Soup of the day: Mushroom soup (half portion) 15++ So obviously mushroom soup isn't necessarily available every day They don't sell half portions, they split one portion into two for 2 pax. Honestly this is enough for one pax Well tbh this is a slightly above average mushroom soup. The thickness is appropriate, but the flavour isnt superb. The roasted mushroom is pretty decent tho, but each piece is too small

Beef Lasagna ($36) 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 weren’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 Chippy’s instead. Music was also overwhelmingly loud. We found ourselves having to shout to each other which wasn’t pleasant at all. Other than the ambience which was beautiful, I doubt I will return again considering it’s already my second time. More pictures and review up on IG @canihaveabitepls

Smoked Stacked Burger (Brown Rice Patty)- $23 Option to choose burger bun, brown rice patty or lettuce leaves. Love how healthy it is cos baked, it's nt fried or grilled. Brown rice patty wasn't what I expect but it's not bad, think there's tumeric added. Patty made from lots of various vegs, beans, peas, etc. Came with huge poriton of sweet potato fries which is not fried too👍🏻 & side salad, both with tangy, refreshing dressing. It's sth I would order again!

Cheesy Cauliflower Bites- $13 Good for low carb meal! The "cheese" sauce is made with cashew nut but rly has a cheesy taste, I think there's nutritional yeast added (can taste it). Rly like the sauce👍🏻 Generous portion of side salad with refreshing dressing!

Kimchi Avo Roll- $16 This place focuses on whole food, very healthy! Very unique cos it use almond bits instead of rice. Homemade kimchi is so good, pairs well together with the creamy avocado on top. No wonder it's their signature item & I hear other tables ordering this as well, must try when there!🌟

Tong Ah Eating House☕️ Went to Tong Ah Eating House recently and ordered their Kaya Toast sets with Iced Coffee ($5.80 each) and their Yue Guang Hor Fun ($11)!😇 Overall ratings 8/10! Food was pretty good but coffee was mediocre. Would visit again for the kaya toast🤪

Traditional Thin Toast ($2.80), Steamed Kaya Butter ($2.60) Came to a temporarily closed Keong Siak Bakery but scored some traditional kaya toast with cold butter next door that were great! They have a steamed variant for mum too conveniently steamed in the bao warmer, this rustic place is a gem.

Famous crispy kaya toast. Tong Ah Eating house used to be located at the iconic building just down the road at the V junction of Keong Saik and Teck Lim Road. And have been around since 1934. Interior also has a very old school feel to it. Although famous for their crispy kaya toast, they do whip up good zhi char dishes as well. Their crispy kaya toast was rather good, just very old school style.

Crème Brûlée Cracking at the slightest when you gently tap it with your preferred utensil, this Crème Brûlée is has a airy vanilla custard to die for!

Lobster Bisque The dish was great. I’m not too keen on seafood, but this was tasty and the bread was amazing!

Truffle mushroom risotto Not too heavy taste, risotto not hard as well. Paired with sliced of cheese on top, balanced flavor.

XLB This place has the best XLB for me . The menu is extensive . Their chilli is awesome, all the usual lamien / steam & pan fried dumpling dishes are delicious and it’s very reasonably priced . I’m not going to DTF or IT anymore . This place is my new to go for authentic northern Chinese food

Hand in Hand Beijing Restaurant Type: Restaurant/Chinese Been here several times already and the food is always consistently good. Super tasty too. They also have private rooms upstairs which is great as we love to bring guests or friends here to enjoy the food. Recommend! My rating: 5/5 ⭐️

Ystd dinner at @handinhandfood, I tried their Poached Fish in Hot Chilli Oil. The fish was tender, succulent served in tasty, numbing and not too spicy soup based. Will prefer if the fish debone. 💰$37.8. 📍Hand in Hand restaurant. Jalan Besar 141-143.

Extremely Disappointing Limited variety and quality of food was subpar. Way below expectations given the rave reviews. Will not return again, not value for money at all.

Breakfast Buffet Due to Covid, Edge does their breakfast buffets via an online ordering system, where you scan the barcode on the table and submit orders from your phone. They group the food up, such as the breakfast foods (eggs, sausage, tomato) into one order, which is great for convenience but not so great if you want to get more of a certain food item, or if you want to mix and match - the sets are standard. You can still request for individual dishes from the staff, but this is a little more troublesome. I really liked scrambled eggs so I ordered an additional serving of it. Texture was great, really creamy. It could’ve been slightly more fragrant though as it was really bland. We were given an hour’s dining time, which was slightly short but adequate.

Unagi Linguine Mala unagi linguine ($14) XO King prawn linguine ($14.95) ⭐️ 3/5 ⭐️ 🍴Affordable lunch bowls averaging $15 at this cosy restaurant in the CBD. Flavour-wise, the pastas were enjoyable with their unique Asian twist on a classic Italian dish. The mala was fragrant with a good level of spicy kick, while the XO prawn was rich in umami notes. The seafood was also well-marinated and fresh, and we enjoyed the soft and tender unagi, and juicy king prawns. While the pasta was nicely al-dente, we found the texture to be slightly strange - almost more starchy (sticks to the teeth) and floury. This ultimately affected our enjoyment of the dish, and hence the lower rating. 📍@beurresg, 23 Bukit Pasoh Road, Singapore Insta: cafehoppingkids

Truffle Fries Pipping hot, the Truffle Fries ($12) were good too. Thicker than shoestring fries, their rendition was rather addictive. The golden-brown exterior stayed wondrously crisp, and the grated Parmesan cheese is always a plus on well-seasoned fries. Though I could only wish that the portion was bigger.

Wagyu Gold Mash The new restrictions are a real downer but that also means more options and opportunities to order in. Hence, with my recent visit to Beurre over lunch, I definitely see myself ordering their Wagyu Gold Mash ($18) again. Served with a savoury black pepper sauce on the side, the medium-rare wagyu steak was succulent and juicy. The protein was also nicely seasoned and well-executed, pretty decent for the price point. Sitting below the thick, hearty slices were glorious Yukon gold mashed potatoes. The silken mash was perfectly buttery and creamy - went exceptionally well with the meaty flavour of the wagyu.

Chocolate Brownie Moist & soft brownie with choco on top, sprinkled with sea salt. Personally prefer fudgy kind as this wasn't very rich for me but would be just nice for most. Served warm too

Truffle Mushroom Pasta Creamy & strong truffle aroma. Pasta texture al dente, there's lot's of cheese too! Yolk wasn't completely flowy but just nice for me

Breakfast Veggie Wrap- $12.50+ Huge portion & very yummy! Lots of creamy avocado, scrambled eggs, roasted mushrooms & tomatoes. Value 👍🏻

Citrus Lemon Tart The Citrus Lemon Tart is surprisingly good. It has just the right amount of acidity and sweetness, and the buttery tart shell goes well with the lemon curd and torched meringue.

Iberico Pork Ribs The fork-tender Iberico Pork Ribs is coated in a barbecue sauce that is not too overpowering and there is a good balance of meat and fats. However, the baked potato wedges are a little under-seasoned and underwhelming.

Grilled Seabass with Saffron Veloute The Grilled Seabass with Saffron Veloute is delicious. The seabass is fresh, tender and moist, and it goes well with the aromatic saffron sauce. The gnocchi served on the side adds a nice chewy texture to the dish. Love the flavours and texture!

Good bakes and coffee If you love your bakes, pastries and coffee, this is one cafe to go! @keongsaikbakery serves up delicious bakes and coffee in both traditional western forms so it should fit most tasting palettes! For bakes, we got the Orh Nee Tart ($8.80) and Chocolate Indulgence ($8.80) that is both available 1 for 1 under #burpplebeyond and they were good! The Orh Nee Tart was satisfying as the paste had strong coconut flavours and was very smooth! There was so much paste on the tart which made it really rich 😍 just felt like the tart crust could have been fresher though! The Chocolate Indulgence lived up to its name as it was decadent with its good quality chocolate flavours. Definitely very rich and perfect for chocolate lovers. We felt like the sponge cake was abit too dry too. To accompany the bakes, their Iced Latte with Arabica beans ($6) is a good option. It was smooth, rich yet not too milky. The coffee notes were strong and the nutty profile was delightful! Definitely a good place to just chill with your friends and loved ones 🥹

Seashore 2.0 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝟐.𝟎 (4⭐️; $8.50) - Comprising sea salt butterfly pea mousse and ganache on top of earl grey cheesecake and earl grey shortbread cookie. Balanced with distinct and not overpowering floral, bergamot flavour.

Cactus 𝐂𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐬 (4⭐️; $8.80) - Gorgeous to the eyes and rich enough in umami matcha flavour for the matcha fan in me. The crunchy chocolate crumbs and crisp buttery tart gave a nice bite in contrast to the creamy cremeux and mousse. 🌵💚 1-1 on burpple!
