Unagi Don Tender grilled eel served on a round of fluffy egg and Japanese rice. Comes with miso soup, onsen egg and some pickled veg. Satisfying.

Seafood Mix Don | $24.80 Prawn, salmon, hokke fish, onsen egg, eggplant and broccoli. Have tasted better tendons and tonkatsu elsewhere. The batter here is a lot lighter than others hence it’s not to my liking. 6.0/10

Mentaiko Pork Loin Katsu Zen ($21.80++) Absolutely tender and succulent pork loin with crispy breaded skin — a must try item at Imakatsu! This dish surprised me as most of the katsu we had outside always has dry and overcooked meat on the inside. Dip the katsu in the wasabi and let the flavours explode in your mouth!

3 Courses Lunch ($48++) Had a 3 courses lunch here for birthday celebration. The services is really attentive. Had duck rillettes as the starter, braised beef as the main and chocolate ganache as the dessert. The braised beef as shown in the picture is really soft. The sauce add a lot of flavour to the beef and the cauliflower in cream tastes not bad! The chocolate ganache is just normal. Not bad as a 3 courses lunch (and very reasonably charged), but i would be expecting more as a restaurant awarded with michelin one star.

Rhubarb & Custard ($22) Wonderful poached rhubarb stalks with massive quenelles of slightly tart rhubarb sorbet and vanilla ice cream (we still had plenty left even after trying sooo hard to ration the precious stalks), served with dots of custard, rose jelly, as well as a good sprinkling of crumble.

Pigeon ($64) Pigeon done beautifully two ways: roasted breast meat till pink in the middle and tender Frenched legs after a low and slow confit. The bird and jus' savoury punch was balanced by the delicate rhubarb and rose purée plus crunchy grapes 'a la Aussignac' — seed and nut-studded praline-coated grapes from chef Longworth's time under chef Pascal Aussignac of Michelin-starred Club Gascon in London.

My New Favourite Neighbourhood Joint Amazing service, amazing pasta at good prices. Good vibes as everyone seems to be from the neighbourhood as well. Best of all it’s dog friendly! The only downside is that for some reason Cibo uses plastic disposables to serve water and dessert - not sure why that’s the case!

I wish I could hide in my shell at times. What a typical introvert peeps 😅 Pasta Vongole - S$ 19.90 📍: @cibo_winebar

Coconut Ice cream On any given hot day, you just got to have a husk of milky good coconut ice cream. So simple yet so heavy on the coconut milk, topped with grated coconut flesh, this definitely keeps you cool, any time any day. PS: if you can't get enough of it, you are able to do a takeaway, since it's already individually packed in husks and ready to go.

Succulent Beef Patty Got the Baby Huey. One of the best burgers I’ve tried. Their sticky date pudding with vanilla ice cream is freaking good!! But expect to spend around $30 per pax.

Baby Huey ($17) Naughty Fries ($14)t Baby Huey: Beef patty, ketchup, cheese, spiced mayo, onions in demi brioche bun. Beef patty was slightly pinkish in the centre and it’s good. Bun was soft. As a onion lover, I love that there’s plenty of it in the burger. The burger may not be the best I’ve had in Singapore but it’s still good. Naughty fries is a must order here. The fries are like fried cut potatoes and goes so well with the sauce and beef chilli. Portion is good for sharing. We dined on level three and it’s loud - both from the very loud music and loud chatter from other tables. It’s very busy on a Friday night so do make reservations if you can. Will come back if I have a craving for burger and fries

Impossible Burger Tried the impossible cheddar. $23++, doesn't come with sides. The burger comes with ketchup, onion puree and pickles.. would taste better with lettuce and tomato. Patty tastes very fascinating.. just like meat! Still moist and juicy and nice!

Good Variety Of Pastas If you are a pasta fan, this is the place for you. Pasta brava food is more consistent as compared to other places. Always liked their cream-based pastas as well as the cheesecake with liquor.

Nice Atmosphere and Good Food I went with my family after walk on a Saturday evening. The food and service was excellent. Simple, fresh, delicious Italian food! Would highly recommend.

Lasagna Tradizionale Con Ragu Di Manzo Scelto — $27.50 Layers of pasta dough were of a nice thickness such that it gives a good amount of bite when paired with the beef ragout bechamel bits! Overall this dish had really nice texture and taste to it 😋👍🏻

Too Bad They Don’t Have This Dish Yet It’s impressive how these local chefs could create innovative dishes that are as good or better than many tapas at Spanish restaurants. Go in a large group and try out many dishes. The ‘mains’ (eg. pork collar, ribeye steak) tend to be less yummy than the small dishes. Excellent service. Unfortunately, unless you’re a well-funded Lolita, Lolla is not for regular lollapaloozas as it’s quite pricey, in fact quite outrageously so as you can easily spend $150 per head in order to come out not hungry and feel the need for a refuel at Maxwell Hawker Centre.

Strange But Yum Blue Cheese Ice Cream It’s impressive how these local chefs could create innovative dishes that are as good or better than many tapas at Spanish restaurants.

Medium Rare Pigeon If I had to choose one: this is definitely the surprise of the night as I had no idea that pigeon meat could be done medium rare. My taste buds were so confused as I thought I was eating steak that is marinated with peppers. The meat was so tender and the peppers added some spice to it.

Blue Lobster Wirh Cavier This course has to be the highlight of the year as it was more than just a pretty sight; in fact the lobster was so sweet and fresh that it left me speechless. I was instructed to mix and match the different ingredients as each combination gave off a very different taste. The tangy tomato sauce combined with the creamy vanilla brought out the best of the blue lobster.

The Unforgettable Dining Experience Of The Year I count myself as of those lucky ones who managed to see why Odette is number 1 restaurant in Asia. Each course is meticulously designed and thought out; an example is this mushroom tea( yes not soup) which completed the mushroom bread so well that I lost forget the bread was a supplement!

Soy & garlic chicken wings, Jajangmyeon The chicken wings were fried perfectly, crispy on the surface and tender inside. The chicken was nicely marinated and had a nice garlic soy taste! Jajangmyeon tasted quite authentic, although the noodles could have been springier. One of the nicer jajangmyeon around but not the best, but still good for jjm cravings.

Soy Chicken ($20) Other than the fact that the chicken skin was a wee bit soggy and not as crunchy as I expected it to be, the soy sauce was on point! Given the portion the price is a little high though.

Soy Garlic Chicken Got the fave $18 for $30 promo. Chicken is very fresh. They really don’t use frozen chicken!

Fried Chicken Ordered all these for 5pax, total bill $100+. Of all the food, i like their garlic wings the best. - Mix wings 18pcs (original, sweet and garlic) - Seafood pancake (be prepared for many huge spring onions!) - Mix fries (tasted normal)

Army Stew Kickstarting 2020 with something warm and fuzzy! The Bu Dae Jji Gae ($48, inclusive of extra ramyeon noodles) from Kko Kko Na Ra comes with ramyeon, spam, sausage, vegetables, mushrooms, baked beans and rice cake. Quite a decent rendition of Army Stew with a nice balance of spicy and tangy flavours - comfort food checked!

For 1-for-1 Pancake (save~$26.20) Make this joint in Tanjong Pagar your spot for Korean pancake. Order the seafood Hae Mool Pa Jun ($25) for a shrimp and spring onion rendition. Other variations include the Bu Chu Jun ($22) with Korean leek and squid, the simple Kimchi Jun ($22) or the meaty Bulgogi Pa Jun ($30). Photo by Burppler Ashley 🤗

Gourmet Burger A truffle egg burger and a signature burger both done medium. We upgraded one of the burger to a set that comes with choice of a variety of fries. We went for crispy fries and a coke. Added extra order of 8 pieces garlic parmesan deep fried wings too. Total cost was around $50. Their burgers are still one of the best around with their perfectly toasted brioche and juicy beef patty.

Grilled Chicken Burger ($11.90) The burger tastes amazingly good! Ingredients used are fresh and my favorite part is that they are quite generous with the amount of cheese and sauce. Would definitely visit this cafe again to try out other burgers.

Portobello Burger ($18.90) I ordered their vegan burger and it is amazingly nice. The burger bread is nicely spread with butter, together with big juicy mushroom and melted cheese! 👍👍 We went there on a Thursday night and it wasn’t crowded at all which makes it quite a nice place to chill. There’s even 1-1 for their craft beer. I will definitely come back again!
