We ordered this in addition to the Restaurant Week set dinners. It took a long time to come, but kudos to the wait staff and kitchen cos they sent over croquettes for us to enjoy on the house while we waited for this. Every grain of rice was chock full of flavour but if I had to nitpick - prawns were a little overcooked and I wish there were more crusty bits. Think Binomio's paella has an edge over this.
Didn't taste the gula melaka in the cream nor the five spice in the chocolate but it was still a pretty great execution - non-greasy, crispy churros dipped in cream and chocolate? Sign me right up. Great way to end off a Restaurant Week set dinner. Thought UNA had one of the more interesting menus there and it didn't let me down. The beautiful environment was also spot on.
Tender octopus with just the right amount of chew. (On a side note: thought the purple potatoes were taro but they really were purple baby potatoes.)
Was impressed with the Restaurant Week dinner we had at UNA. This was yum. Unctuous foie gras with sweet, slightly smokey figs. Pretty much a perfect starter. If only there was more...
Enjoying this one last time before it moves to Hillview (😠so far). New Ubin's salted egg squid is the bomb. It is really unadulterated salted egg coating tender squid slices. And their hokkien mee is da bomb. Better than the fried rice and steak, which tasted middling this time...
Rather satisfying with a VERY generous portion of meat. The true star of our meal was the prompt and friendly service - our waiters were super personable and friendly. Of course, the beautiful space helped. Great place to relax on a weekend. We'll be back to try their Sunday roast - we saw huge Yorkshire puddings teetering on plates.

It's been a long time since I visited this market, which is the market of my childhood. This stall run by young hawkers caught my eye and I am SO glad I tried it. The soup was super sweet and rich from the addition of clams to the stock. Paid $8 for a bowl of the big prawn noodles, and it came with 4 plump and fresh big prawns, clams and some pork belly (no limp slices of blanched lean pork here!). Even the $5 bowl of normal prawn noodles would be satisfying enough cos man, that soup is SO good. They also had crayfish and lobsters on display, and I saw plenty of people tucking into the lobster noodles with much gusto. So pleased to see young hawkers succeeding - you know it's good when aunties and uncles queue up for you in a market already filled with good food 💯
Perfectly poached eggs, soft brioche and smoked salmon. Solid, but don't know whether i have SG brunch food fatigue - not sure I would pay the full $19 for this. Kudos to the waitress for being upfront with us about the fact that the barista was new, and wouldn't be confident enough to do brewed coffee for us with the Aeropress. The latte and cold brew that we settled for instead were on point, just as I would expect them to be.
Loved the large warehouse space and the fact that tables were so spaced out - something we rarely get in SG. The rose latte and macadamia latte were both excellent, as was the mango passion fruit chocolate cake (sounds weird but it WORKS - not too sweet and I loved the rich chocolate ganache paired with tart mango and passion fruit) and matcha pancakes. Quite excellent, though out of the way and pricey compared to The Alley. Didn't get to try the food, but the menu looked interesting.
RM 16 for appropriately fluffy pancakes that had a distinct matcha taste. Offset well by the crunchy crumble. Only grouse - wish the cream was cold and of better quality, it felt a little oily on the lips. Macallum's space is gorgeous, with a huge warehouse setting and well spaced out tables. Food and coffee was pricier than other cafes'.
