I had their famous mentaiko pasta ($18), chips with truffled mayo ($7) , a very sinful choco banana nutty smoothie ($12) and choco earl grey cake. they're all amazing and i really had a good time there, gobbling all these food up but sadly, that's my first and also my last. hopefully they'll still retain their mentaiko pasta in the future, cause that's really hard to beat!
So we takeaway since we were already there.
When I first visited them few years back, I fell in love with their mentaiko pasta and I am so glad that the taste remains the same!
Good bye and thank you for being one of the pioneer!
Finally got to try this but um, DIDN'T TASTE MUCH SALTED EGG YOLK. Granted, there was unmistakenly a teeny weeny whiff of the salted egg yolk and having the grainy texture asserts the fact that it is indeed, well, salted yolk but the taste was being overpowered by the chocolate that I wonder if the filling was a mixture of both. IT'S STILL GOOD, NEVERTHELESS. It's a pity that this is the first and last time I would get a taste of this.
No wonder, since it's slow-cooked for 6 hours. The 🐖 did not sacrifice in vain.
Go try it before Five & Dime bids goodbye for good on 29 April. Trust me, your tongue and tummy will thank you for it.
This cake is recommended for those who likes dessert less sweet. Though the taste of tea in the cake is very subtle, it tastes more like chocolate mousse cake which is also enjoyable.
This dessert is really cutesy and yummy. Though a tad too sweet for my liking, the date really enjoyed this dish wholly. They literally drizzled condensed milk over the Panna cotta 😂
This starter was a delight! Definitely never had raw ish beef that tasted so good in my entire life. Even the boy said this was excellent. Couldn't remember the price but I think it was $15 or $19.
The boy had this dish last night. The braised pork belly was yummy, cooked to perfection, well seasoned and tender. The noodles were a tad oily to our tastes but nonetheless a good combination. $25 for this plate.
This pasta is superb. Thanks to the lovely Eric who recommended this dish. The subtleness of the roe blends well with the creaminess of the dish, not too salty, not too overpowering, just yummy. Very sad that this eatery is closing its doors soon. Get it while you can $18
Spinach Tamago ($18), Bangers and Mash ($18) and Eggs Bene ($18). It was good, albeit nothing extraordinary. They do have very friendly staff, which makes the whole experience so much better already.
Buttermilk pancakes with bacon, mushrooms and baked potatoes sides. Great combination though the mushroom was a tad salty. The baked potatoes was excellent! $15 for the pancakes, sides add on $3 each I think. Overall a good brunch
Delish chocolate lava cake! Not too sweet, the taste was just perfect. $12 for one, comes in a dim sum wooden plate ish thingy? Cute concept 😊
I GLOW with pleasure.
This Salted Egg Lava Cake from @fiveanddimesg has really improved from 2 years ago. Good balance of salted egg and chocolate but OH MY ARTERIES.

Still my favorite after 3 times, still think it's a little expensive at $18++, but still think it's worth it. Haha!
In the midst of writing up the review on their new brunch menu, it should be live in a while! Now I'm hungry looking at this!
This one was surprisingly better than the previous time I've had, chocolatey with salted eggy goodness. Not bad. Not bad at all!
Credits to favorite friend @chewypompipi for the cut.

Devoured this all by myself without feeling gelat (but the end of the bowl was a small pool of oil ugh). This Mac & Cheese ($15) with creamy lobster sauce tasted like mentaiko which is also one of my many favorites so I really liked this. It might be one of the best Mac & cheese I've had. There were sweet little chunks of lobster and don't forget the 3 types of cheesesssssss used - Parmesan, cheddar and mozzarella melted to gooey golden brown perfection.
Treat to self for the hectic week and before the craziness starts again. My other half, @timchee thinks it is too sweet but that's ok, having 3/4 of it all to myself. ✌🏻️. $12 might be a bit steep but flowly sweet and salty salted egg custard with a dark choc lava cake... ☺️ What else could I have asked for? #burpple #burppletastemakers #sundaypleasedontend
In the gym by 8am. Having brunch at @fiveanddimesg by 10am. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 The crab although small, was jam packed with flavour! And the Kani croquette was creamy and hearty without being overly gelat. The homemade chili crab sauce was a nice touch. ☺️☺️ @timchee #burpple #burppletastemakers
