Crispy Fish Fillet Tacos: 6.0/10

Tacos:
Personally, I felt that this is not a taco. The fish was not fresh and tasted dry. The fresh mango salsa overpowered the entire dish. The overall combination of the dish did not blend well.

Their curly fries saved the dish.

Lamb Ribs with BBQ Sauce ($24.90) served with Mala Broccoli with crushed peanut and Baked Potato with sour cream sauce

Visited before @foodkingnoc blew up the place with massive queues. 😅
Prior to their review, the cafe was already doing well and they were actually packed when we visited on a weekday afternoon.
Thankfully, we managed to get seats after waiting for a little while.
Food took quite awhile to be served.
Service was alright but we didn’t feel very welcomed as it felt like the staff was rushing us through the meal.
Which is understandable given the number of customers.
We would say that the food was reasonable at the given price point and will definitely return if there’s no queue.

Beats Marche’s Hands down 👊
Rosti was Crispy on outside , soft on the inside.
Sausage was tasty and had a nice crunch when you bite into it.

Very meh dish. Easily found in any cafe.
Perhaps more Truffle oil and salt could’ve done the trick.

Added the cloud emoji in the title because it is so apt for their Truffle Shoestring Fries! The dish was $15 (slightly on the pricy side for fries) but wow the serving was HUGE! Two of us had trouble finishing it but maybe it’s because we also ordered two mains. Could get more friends to share this. Or maybe try requesting for half the portion (half the price) as seen on some of the burpple reviews?

The fries were not too overwhelming with their truffle taste, just the right amount. And the mountain of parmesan shavings went so so well with the fries! Shoestring is also the best cut for this dish.

We were surprised to know that the place was really fancy with nice ambience. But definitely one of the quieter places in Ann Siang hill. Be sure to make a reservation in advance :)

aka Cordon Bleu Chicken burger. Chicken was a bit dry but the burger still goes well with ham slices as well as melted cheese (ok it wasn’t v melty). On the side, there’s a huge serving of salad and potato wedges (which were really yummy!)

Overall, cafe ambience was good and would definitely return to try the other dishes :)

Thick crust pizza with a white sauce base, generous savings of roasted garlic and shrimp @16 bucks. Must try for those who love roasted garlic. For those who need spice, simply add the chilli flakes to taste. Definitely value for money with the burpple 1 for 1 deal.

Do expect a slightly longer than usual waiting period for your food though.

Thin crust pizza with loads of cheese, with wild rockets and beansprouts @16 bucks. Pretty good in terms of taste and value for money with the burpple 1 for 1 deal. Only the beansprouts confuse me - am not sure where and how it fits on the pizza?

Those with a larger appetite may need to order some other food to go with the pizza.

@wadodining ran out of strawberry ice cream the night I visited, so I ended up with a chocolate ice cream Eton mess. Not particularly traditional, but my chocoholic self was pretty pleased by this turn of events.⠀
⠀
Other than the chocolate ice cream, it’s a fairly traditional Eton mess. The smashed up, multicoloured meringue bits added a vitally important crisp & crumbly texture to the overall softness of the dessert. The chocolate ice cream is a decent, albeit unremarkable store bought one that goes well with the whipped cream.⠀
⠀
Of course, it wouldn’t be an Eton mess without some berries. A couple of blueberries and a few slices of strawberry add a nice, fruity sweet & sour taste to the dessert, giving it some much needed complexity.

Ieat Super burger ($15.90)
Have always loved the super burger cuz of its crisy onions. Most burgers just have bits of onions, but astons' is practically a layer of deep fried onions which are good enough to eat on its own.

Theres something about the way the various burger elements all come together, especially with the sweet bbq sauce.

The patty is juicy, and theres a level of freshness thanks to the presence of the vegetables too.

Note that Andes is halal certified. So you get ham instead of bacon. Would fully recommend youbget the original one at Astons to enjoy the burger to its fullest (and further burst your calorie counter)

Had the spicy chicken burger ( $7.20 via deliveroo).
While not extraordinary, it is slightly better than ordinary.

Patty was crispy without being too dry. Its a bit less spicy than a mcspicy, but still has enough kick. It also had this interesting pink with crunchy onion bits.

Buns were also nice and soft, althoughbmy friends felt it was a bit too soft for their liking.

I won't say the best meal I've had. But to have lobsters stuffed into toast bread is surely a bucket list for my foodie craving.
So I chewed in for this experience despite rocking up on a Saturday evening without prior reservation.
The toast was good. Crispy and fresh. The lobster chunks was generous in a way.
But the fries failed me. It was at best, ordinary.
Trouble is, when you're in it for an extraordinary lobster sandwich, and you pay extra for fries and salad, you'd expect more to be done in the fries department.

Ok the meal was not bad, but the service was cold. For an outlet in posh Raffles Hotel, you'd expect more.
Definitely didn't live up to expectations. But at least the lobster in a bread experience is now crossed off the list.
Probably no need to revisit.
