I consider myself a food relativist, so I'm fine with eating fusion food, as long as it tastes good, and this pizza really impressed me.
For ~$27.40++, this pizza checked all boxes, providing a rich creamy taste which tasted amazing.
Pizza also went well with chilli flakes, which were served in a saucer as opposed to a bottle.
The green tea crust tasted remarkable chewy which topped off a delicious meal.
Had half a pizza and felt really full from it. Definitely recommend sharing the dish.
Grade: A
For a budget meal, Kazoku is a decent place to go to.
The selection of food was overwhelming in general, and I spent far too much time contemplating what to get, before settling for the Beef Mentaiko Don.
After waiting for around 30 mins, the food was served. It was a little cold, but that could have been down to 4 other friends ordering the same thing.
The rice, topped off with fried garlic was a little dry, so I recommend complementing the meal with drinks.
The highlight was the beef, which was soft, tender, and drizzled generously
with a savoury mentaiko sauce.
For $12.90, I really enjoyed this dish.
Grade: B+
Bought this at a whim to complement my sugar cravings. I felt it tasted like melted ice cream.
Served with frozen raspberries, the smoothie didnt look very appetising, and it certainly didn't taste like anything special.
At $9++ for a smoothie, this is average at best.
Grade: B
Milkshake was smooth and with a obvious watermelon taste, and left me with a thirst for water. I was hoping for hints of sorbet, but didn't taste any.
Was hoping to quench my thirst, but they unlike other ice cream stores I know of, water was charged at $5.50++ for 50 cl.
The ambiance of the place was nice, but for $8.50++, better value can be found elsewhere.
Grade: B
Most Banh Mi tend to be toasted too little, but Co Ba Quan sets a new standard for Banh Mi.
The bread is toasted well, giving it a crunchy taste which complements the chilli sauce, cucumber and meat well.
A small gripe I had was the choice of meat, as processed fishcakes were used instead of actual fresh fish. At $6.90, this Banh Mi provides bang for buck with the well toasted buns, and I recommend trying it out.
Grade A- (would up to A if a different filling was used)
Had Taiwan Ichiban XL chicken chop rice at NUS science canteen.
Chicken was large and crispy, providing a satisfying and savoury meal which blended well with the rice and coleslaw.
Containing a whopping 900 calories, the XL Chicken chop rice is certainly a guilty pleasure for those looking to enjoy a one-off meal. The food is certainly sinful but its worth it for the price and portion.
Price: $5.80
Final grade: A-
