Burpple cannot be used? Visited on 17 july 2022. Was informed that burpple cannot be used, deal cannot be redeem. So take note.

Pork Belly Pasta THIS WAS AMAZING everyone should get this honestly this was super super good!! There was an option for choice of pasta and we chose angel hair pasta. The pork belly chunks were SO soft and had so much flavour without being too fatty. I always feel averse to the fats at shaorou hawker stalls but this one was really done well with the skin being super crispy and tasty! The pasta was spicy, similar to regular aglio olio. I will definitely be back!

Char Siew Noodle Quite a yummy dish! The char Siew was tender, soft and seasoned rather nicely. There was an option to choose the type of pasta as well. The egg added a smooth texture to the pasta with each mouthful. The sauce was not too bad but would be nice if there was more sauce! However, wish they would give slightly more meat- felt like there wasn’t enough charsiew for my pasta.

Siow Bak Mee The fish that I order all the time! Great pasta cooked with a heart, and it seems like every dish is not too bad too (from the group of friends that went with me). Came back a few times and quality of food is still as good, maybe just extreme slow service given that there are only 3 staff in total in the entire shop.

Lemongrass Raindrop Cake ($7) Interesting way to present this jelly-like dessert in the form of a raindrop cake. The lemongrass flavour was refreshing, with a subtle citrus aroma along with the minty flavour from the peppermint leaves. The light flavour contrasted well with the vanilla creaminess of the creme anglaise. Surprisingly the overall taste was a well-balanced one without being overly sweet despite the caramelized pineapple, elderflower watermelon and chocolate soil.

Pan-seared Australian Barramundi ($22) An Indian cuisine-inspired main dish on Coalesce's menu. I like its presentation and pairing of the pan-seared fish with the tower of Tumeric infused pilaf rice. The fish was pan seared till crispy on top while still tender fresh underneath. Drizzling curry foam on it worked wonder for adding an earthy savory flavor to the fish, yet not masking the original freshness of the fish as in the case if a sauce was poured over. The pilaf rice was moist, had a spicy tumeric aroma and sweet from the brown raisins.

Laksa Linguine ($18) Laksa pasta seems to be one of the hot favorites at Coalesce. A whopping plate of linguine tossed in mild spicy laksa sauce, where you can even taste the chopped laksa leaves. I would have liked it better with a stronger laksa taste though. Served with chewy squid and juicy prawns, they aren't stingy with the seafood at all. A familiar laksa ingredient, tau pok, could also be found, just that there's no gravy to soak it up. You could also create thickness in the pasta by breaking the soft poached egg and let the oozy egg yolk flow.

Salmon soba Warm bowl of hot soba. Ordered natto as side dish. Best part was its all healthy! No guilt meal

Mori Soba and Avocado Pepper Duck Lunch Set Soba, the perfect bowl of noodles for any occasion. Whether you're feeling hungry or just in the mood for a comforting meal, these thin, wheat-based noodles never disappoint.

Cold Mori Soba With Kaisen $17 for this set lunch with a hot tea! The dipping sauce is slightly sweet and goes well with the handmade soba. An enjoyable and healthy meal. Definitely will come back again!

Aburi Salmon Mentaiko The sushi came with a generous amount of mentaiko topped of the salmon slice , it have both a nice salty taste and a good bite of fish , paired well with any alcohol you will be ordering would definitely recommend

best beef stew ordered an assortment of dishes but the beef stew stands out the most. it was rich in its sweetness and super flavourful. highly recommended to order this if you ever drop by!

Creative & flavourful Japanese food Went on a Monday Night and was lucky to get a seat immediately. Ordered Pork Jowl Charsu, Kani Gratin, Gyuniku Jaga and Garlic Fried rice. Pork Jowl Charsu - the pork was so good!! Portion is quite small but definitely worth the try Kani Gratin - Ordered this because of the positive reviews on Google. Fell short of my expectations because I was expecting it to be filled with crab meat. They are quite generous with the mentaiko though Gyuniku Jaga - this! omg! exceeded my expectation. Was debating whether to order the oden soup or this but I'm so glad I chose this! The soup was so sweet so good so flavourful! Garlic Fried rice - a good bowl of healthy tasting garlic fried rice All in all, I'm quite satisfied with the food although it has a slightly high price tag. The indoor area could be quite noisy if there is a big group of people. Saw many customers ordered kushiyaki and alcoholic drinks while catching up. A good place to catch up with your friends after work.
