Must Try

The latter is well-braised and its meltingly soft parts are worth every calorie. Good value and not bad at all, but my ah ma's yam rice is still unbeatable. #burpple #foodspotting

The relaxed, casual vibe of this new cafe belies the fine dining type of dishes that they serve. In my opinion, the quality of the ingredients and standard of cooking is remarkable considering the rather low price point.
Take this Black Angus Ribeye for instance. It is incredibly juicy and grilled to exact medium-rare done-ness as requested. Clearly the result of a chef who takes great pride in his work. And although the steak comes with a big pool of creamy mustard truffle mayo, I enjoyed having it on its own too. I am not kidding when I say this easily beats many other pricier steaks out there.
If you are a hardcore meat-lover or feel like ordering a steak to share, you can choose to get the Black Angus Ribeye in bigger portions of 400gms ($35 nett) and 600gms ($50 nett). So customer-friendly right?

Keeping things simple and fresh is Seasalt's philosophy. Dig into a scrumptious pot of mussels at this stall (also situated in Salut Coffeeshop), and choose from a selection of sauces including white wine, garlic cream, blue cheese, and even tom yum! Go for the garlic cream sauce, a surprisingly light and fragrant complement to the fresh, sweet mussels ($15).

The wait can get a little long sometimes, so order in advance if you're planning to head down. Please get an ice cold beer from a neighbouring stall to complete this experience!

Phew. At half the price of normal ramen ($5 for small, $6 for medium), it certainly doesn't compromise on flavour or satisfaction!
