Best Bars in Singapore, 2019

After a not-so-filling dinner down the road, I ventured here to fulfill my 1-for-1 desires twice in the same night. I really got bang for my buck with the Lobster Roll ($29.90 nett), which happens to be the most expensive item on the menu eligible for Burpple Beyond redemption. (The actual most expensive item, F1/B3 Wagyu, is excluded.)

The way this dish was served was very odd - first came the plate of sauce, without any explanation whatsoever. Then came the bowl of curly fries. Then the salad together on a plate with the lobster roll. Very odd.

I immediately tucked in to the lobster roll & was satisfied with the toastiness of the bun, & the freshness of the lobster. The creamy flavour of the sauce could've been balanced a bit more with a squeeze of lemon, but I'm honestly not complaining. I would come back here again in a heartbeat. The curly fries were also pretty bomb especially when they are served piping hot!

One huge turnoff about this place, though, is that the volume of the music alternated between extremely loud & extremely soft. Not sure what's up with the "DJ" behind the console (jk it was just a Spotify playlist), but that made us leave immediately when we were done with our meal to sit somewhere else quiet to chat. Very much a shame because their happy hour drinks were good, playlist was awesome, but the volume control was shit.

Pretty ordinary, but I liked how these wedges had a firmer kind of texture instead of the usual mushy and grainy potato texture most of the wedges have!

Salmon skin was perfectly crisp and so well-seasoned! Pretty generous portions too. Perhaps the chunks of salmon skin could have been smaller though, would make it easier to consume (each chunk was like at least the size of 2 of my fingers combined) All of us couldn't stop reaching for more because this was just so addictive🤭

This is a Scottish whisky, with a medium firm smooth body with a balanced smokiness and floral sherry notes.
.
Tastes of honey, marmalade, raisins, and dried apricots, with hints of wood and spice, and a delicate vanilla and ginger aroma. The finish is long and deep, with a solid dry oak note.
.
Cheers to the weekend!.

My top two go-to-items at Miss G’s! Pidan tofu ($6) is creamy and on point, and also always happy looking at the generous serving of Bonito flakes on our fries ($12)!

$16.90. Rice was a little too moist but other than that, the beef and the sauce was great!

$16.90! Portion’s a bit small but what a generous serving of salmon and the flavour is simply ace!

Don’t let this simple looking sandwich deceive you. From the super soft brioche and the mighty tender and beefy shavings of beef tongue, all toasted over charcoal on the konro grill topped with gribiche for a great balance in flavor and texture. This sammy is the PERFECT end to a long hard week. Le Bon Funk only does lunch on Fridays so do a bit of planning to ensure your weekend starts the best way it can! #lebonfunk #burpple

This features soft scrambled eggs, crisp streaky bacon, snappy pork sausage, juicy cherry tomatoes, tender brown button mushrooms, crunchy potato hashbrown, and fluffy orange brioche toast bread served with butter.

Love the combination of bold flavours, earthy savoury salty sweet eggy bready. Each component was well executed, but the trade-off is the slightly longer than usual waiting time of 15 minutes for this dish to be prepared.
