This is actually my second time eating omu rice. Perhaps I have been spoiled too much by YouTube videos of omu rice in Japan hence I feel the egg could be more runny. The rice is flavoured tomato rice which is great with the beef stew to cut through the strong and beefy taste of the stew. The beef is quite tender, it is in cubes and the meat was rather flaky. I just wish the sauce for the stew is less beefy? The sauce does get overpowering after a while. This costs 22.30 before gst and service charge.
Between the two of us, we ordered kimchi soup, chicken bulgogi and Pajoen. The Pajoen ($14.80) that we ordered is really delicious! It was chewy and crispy and the accompanying sauce was tangy. It is slightly oily though but that didn't stop me from eating piece after piece. I would not recommend the chicken bulgogi unless ib groups of 3 or 4 as the dish had very strong flavours (mainly sweet tasting) and it felt very overpowering after a few bites. But overall, it was great and we both felt very full after the meal.
Swee Choon is always my to go place once every few months whenever I am craving for dim sum. My must orders are the har gau, chilli wanton and the Xiao long bao as pictured. Each basket of xiao lobg bao comes with 4 pieces and each dumpling is juicy with its flavoursome soup encased within the skin. Best paired with ginger and vinegar. #burpplexchope
Really love the ambience of the cafe. It is a good place to chill and talk over drinks or food. Pictured is the truffle parmesan fries that we had. The fries came to our table pipping hot and each fry was crisp and fluffy on the inside. The only thing lacking was that we felt the fries could do with a bit more salt and parmesan flavour. The truffle flavour was just right. Nonetheless, I love the ambience and I would love to come back to chill for brunch! #BurppleXChope
I didn't see anyone ordering this but still decide to go for it as I have seen rave reviews of this salad. The broccoli salad was very interesting with different savoury notes. It would taste different when you add the red sugar by the side of the plate. The only issue I had was the dish felt a little too oily to me. This is definitely not something to order if you want something healthy or light tasting. Best when shared with 1 or 2 other people! #BurppleXChope
We ordered 4 dishes, one of which is the pictured sliced pork claypot ee mian. I was expecting it to be in a claypot but we are presented the noodles in a plate. To be frank there is nothing much to wow about the dish. I could easily enjoy this at any zi char place at half the price. The service was lacking too as they are short handed. We had to wait 20 mins for our dessert up to the point where we were thinking of cancelling our order. Luckily the dessert was delicious but still, we probably wouldn't be coming back as the mains are not up to standard. #BurppleXChope
