Ordered a side of rosti to pair with our meal as my girl loves rosti. A crispy outercrust which envelopes the warm and moist potato strands beneath it. Quite apart from providing the contrast in texture, the outercrust also provides a smoky charred taste to the entire dish.
Reasonably priced at $6.

The usual takeaway order for me when I decide to purchase my lunch or dinner from tamago-en. Thick white cuts of breaded chicken cutlet that's still moist with creamy egg. By thick, I really mean THHICC; the texture of the meat was really smooth as well.
Priced at approx $15

Hearty dish of a huge oyster omelette. You can get the distinctive taste the oysters in each bite of the omelette. Arguably a marked improvement over most oyster omelettes that you get at the hawker centres, but this is to be expected given the price point.

A very comforting dish of fried beancurd cubes (purportedly homemade based on how it's labelled in the menu) that's drizzled with a thick savour sauce. Best paired with a bowl of rice to absorb some of that sauce.

Dark Chocolate exterior coating a chocolate mousse cake with a middle layer that includes diced strawberries. The middle layer of strawberries was a welcome addition which helps to cut across the richness of the dark chocolate. @$6.50

Rating 8/10 (for the presentation)

Arguably the highlight of the meal. The fish was nicely seared - the centre was flaky and broke apart easily while the sides and the skin were crispy - while the seafood broth was really flavourful and umami. Much thought was given to the presentation in terms of both aesthetics and utility; the fish was placed atop a bed of mussels and clams to elevate it so that the seafood broth didn't soften the seared sides of the fish. I would definitely recommend this for those who would like to try something new. 👍😜

This is my third time trying the burger, albeit the first time having it at the cineleisure outlet. The flavour profile of the burger was much more similar with the first time I had it at the Cathay, which was on point. Portions were generous as usual. Will be back again.

Calamari rings wrapped with deep fried batter and coated with salted egg sauce which was finely balanced and not too overpowering. The rings were not the most tender I had but it's tender enough without being chewy. I loved the Asian touch to this dish - the addition of some chilli padi (below) for a hint of spice and the inclusion of what seemed like curry leaves (?).

First time trying this place and decided to go for the most expensive item available on their burpple one for one menu. Overall the beef was tender and flavourful enough, but wasn't anything to shout about. Don't get me wrong, the food wasn't bad; it just didn't impress. The place is relatively quiet and it's easy to get a table on a Saturday evening. Service staff were friendly.

Rating 6/10.

Note: this dish does not come with rice. You will need to order that separately.

2 fried fish fillets slathered with a generous amount of mentaiko sauce and served over a mound of fries. The batter was not overly oily and retained its crispiness throughout the meal, which added a good crunch and texture to the meal. The portobello mushroom was also a welcome side; the mushroom remained juicy even after the cooking process. For those who may find that the mentaiko sauce too cloying after a few bites, the dish is served with a wedge of lemon that helps cut across the mentaiko sauce. Totally worth it with burpple one for one deal.

A shout-out to the friendly and helpful staff who served us too. The restaurant is a stone's throw from Kallang mrt station and has some backdrop decor that's suitable for Instagram pictures. In addition, this place also played Tom & Jerry episodes which gives a nostalgic feel to those born in the 90s. Will be back again! 😊

Crispy mid joint wings that's coated with condensed milk and milk powder(or so I think?). Not the usual savoury options that we go for but it was a novel and welcome contrast in flavours that went well with our mentaiko fish and chips. Rating 6.9/10

Nestled within rows of shophouses, it is easy to walk past this place without giving it a second look. Nevertheless, we were glad to have located this place on burpple; which is a stone's throw from kallang mrt station. Service staff were very friendly and attentive. Would visit again and recommend others to follow the same😀

Decent meal of grouper penyet - a decent portion of rice with tauhu, really spicy chilli and of course, one whole fried grouper. While there is more meat with the pomfret, the flesh of the grouper was much smoother and had a better mouth feel. Totally worth it with burpple one for one $11.50 for 2 pax with the burpple deal. A good option for those who stay near AMK hub.
