One of the classic on their menu - chunky thick cut truffle fries with roasted garlic, shaved parmesan and parsley. I personally still prefer shoestring fries for the crunch and amount of flavour they can hold better, but these thick cut ones had a pretty nice fluffy texture inside. The truffle aroma was distinct, but much milder in taste. Portion was filling.

Wildfire’s seasonal Uni Ebi Burger! Well-toasted brioche buns with a thick and crispy prawn patty (would have liked this juicier but thumbs up to the generous use of whole prawns), tartar, shredded lettuce, generous squid ink aioli and the star of the show - 2 rows of creamy bafun narabi uni that the staff serve fresh out of the uni box on to your burger at your table. Quality was pretty good. Last 6 days to the end of this seasonal burger that they only serve 20 portions a day till 28 Feb.

The Rustica Cooks’ Cereal Chicken Sando! Even though it was delivered, the huge chunk of cereal fried chicken between the soft bread retained a great crunch. Particularly liked how it had just the right amount of crust that was breaded with a nice blend of fragrant herbs and spices. There was also an extra light kick of heat from the added sriracha mayo. Their side dish changes with each delivery and was lucky to try their seafood chowder that was generously filled with ingredients.

Eyeing to try their seafood roll next! More order deets over at @therusticacooks, thank you @adrianjusteat for sharing this w me! ✨

Pastas here are customisable with bases of aglio olio, cream, tomato, pesto and tom yam ($8.90), and various topping options like seafood ($5), grilled chicken ($5), snapper ($6), mushrooms ($1), smoked duck ($2), etc. We went with the classic agilo olio + seafood combination and understood why it came with a strong recommendation! It was garlicky with a little kick of heat and not at all too oily like some can get. Was impressed by the freshness of the seafood as well. Enjoyed this dish most of our meal.

The 20HK Burger comes with a fried chicken breast patty, pickles, and smoked bacon. Very well sized for its price (it was huge), but a pity the patty was more dry, even though they were generous with the buttermilk ranch sauce that helped balance it out a bit. You can top up $5 on the burger to make it a set with soft drink and a side. Truffle fries were pretty decent. Would recommend to go for their Indonesian dishes instead.

Tagliatelle with smoked salmon and four cheese - U.S. cream cheese, U.S. extra sharp white cheddar, U.S. gouda, U.S. ricotta. While we enjoyed the pasta texture, the overall dish is pretty heavy, with saltiness from both the smoked salmon and the four cheese sauce. We did enjoy the different elements, but would have been nice to have a contrasting flavour to balance it out better. Portion was huge, enough for two to share!

Always love a good plate of barley risotto, so of course we couldn’t pass up trying this - picked it as one of our mains, along with a 4 cheese smoked salmon tagliatelle. Barley was done nicely plump and chewy in a creamy cheddar sauce, with mushrooms and balsamic tomatoes. Would probably be heavy for one to finish especially with it’s large portion, but great when shared.

Was impressed by Breakfast Sammy ($12) the first time round, but loved this even more! While Breakfast Sammy uses brioche, you get very well toasted sourdough here - packed with roasted cremini and shiitake, arugula, mix cheese, caramelised onions and Korio sauce. Mushrooms were juicy, and while it was generously cheesy, it was also balanced out well with the sweet onions. Would have liked even more of the onions, but it’s still one good sandwich that I can finish on my own!

These fries came drizzled in truffle mayonnaise and topped with Parmesan. Fries were nicely crisp but the mayo could be lot more generous.

While you’re here, there’s 1 for 1 pizza and pasta deals here with Burpple Beyond!

Friend’s pick was the ricotta sourdough toast! Came with guacamole, avocado, ricotta, poached eggs, roasted tomatoes and dukkah.

Look at that overflowing glorious mess! There’s spam and cheese hidden underneath the generous lot of creamy sauce gribiche (like an egg mayo), all between crispy brioche. It was a very hearty option. Grab a friend along so you can split halves to switch it up a bit as it can get slightly heavy. Hoping to drop by for their doughnuts next!

Liked how they thoughtfully topped each portion of pizza with a slice of parma ham - no worries about not having enough to go around. Base was biscuity and crunchy, served with a base of tomato compote, parmesan cheese and parma.

Communal Coffee’s on Burpple Beyond for 1 for 1 mains. Thank you @communalcoffeesg for having us and @burpple for the invite! ✨
