Tanjong Pagar
From the same pastry chef behind Flor Patisserie comes this humble Japanese-French pastry shop that sells elegant treats to-go in Tanjong Pagar Plaza. Be sure to try the Mille Feuille ($6.80) where layers of puff pastry, fresh cream and raspberry jam are topped with fresh strawberries. For a unique creation, the Luna Wrap ($6) sees lightly whipped flavoured cream (mango, chocolate or blueberry) cradled in a pancake.

Me meeting my Dad for dinner on a Friday night aptly paralleled how Lobster met Crab in a Laksa broth— basically the same thing so you aren’t surprised they go well together.
We were here on a 1-for-1 deal and had 2 pastas that came with fries (one of which had parmesan truffle toppings) and a serving of seafood soup, as well as kaya and whiskey ice cream respectively. However, while the $53 we paid was a modest sum, it comes close to the number of minutes we waited for the food to be served. While this usually isn’t a problem understanding it is a Friday night, the kitchen took a gamble and prepared their batches of fries a few customers in advance. The dice were rolled, our fries were cold.
However, that didn’t stop me from enjoying the half Lobster, half Crab pasta. The rich Laksa broth really put the Asian in Crustacean, while the bits of crab and lobster in the pasta tasted like an anxious introvert— fresh out of its shell. The seafood soup though fragrant, did have hints of “food court” as the onions reminded me of chicken rice’s embarrassing friend— chicken rice soup. But dad loved it, and he’s the foodie.
Finally, to top off the spread we had for dinner, what better way than to end with dessert that, well, was also a spread— Kaya Ice Cream. This Nyonya treat tasted so good that it sent me into 小娘惹 territory, which I only thought of because it was almost 9pm by the time dessert had arrived. But I shan’t go in too hard on the kitchen given it was an admirable effort for 2 people in a kitchen the size of my toilet. Also, just like me in the toilet, these people really worked their butts off to put food in the bowl.
Jokes aside, it was a great meal, and it would be shellfish of me not to recommend this to my friends!
love the black sesame cake ($9) and the dark chocolate cake ($9)!!! definitely coming back for more 😎
Drop by this no-frills stand for lobster rolls at great prices! Choose from a simple menu of three: Chunky's Original ($16) for chunky and fresh lobster tossed in mayo, slathered with lemon butter and garnished in a blend of herbs and spices. Mad for fromage? The sweet and salty Chunky's Cheezy ($16) with mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan and nacho cheese is sure to satisfy. Otherwise, keep it simple with Chunky's Connecticut ($16) for good ol' lobster with melted butter on a toasty roll.

Otherwise, the deconstructed Strawberry Shortcake ($14) is also an excellent and fun option with coconut chantilly, honey, fig ice cream and a jelly veil.

One of the best sticky date puddings I've eaten! The pudding was tender, moist and rich. It was served warm and went superbly with the vanilla bean ice-cream and walnuts. It also sat in a sticky pool of caramel sauce, which added flavour to the pudding and is great for people with a sweet tooth.
Seasonal berries, vanilla bean ice cream (the legit kind). Even comes with honeycomb shards 😋
Packed with rich dark chocolate and cocoa for a decadent and delightful treat. This rich, dense & fudgy cake is indeed a chocolate lover’s dream!
Western version of bibimbap as I would put it 👩🏻🍳 / Sehhmon Poke bowl, looking every bit of lively with garnishes & ginger sesame dressing ❤️🧡💛💚💜 That’s why there’s a saying that says, You gotta eat your rainbows 🌈😊😍☺️Not to forget the accompanying view 🌊🛥🛳☁️⛴☀️☁️🌊

Japanese Garlic Rice had always been a thing for me, which is why I went for this straightaway after skimming through the menu here.
Really like how the Teppan Garlic Rice here — the savoury, garlicky notes come subtle from the start, but slowly builds up without being overwhelming; the rice being pearly yet without feeling particularly greasy, topped with fried garlic for more flavour. No regrets going for the beef variant; the small chunks of beef carrying a great marbling considering how the fatty bits are so melt-in-the-mouth tender, perfuming of a smoky, meaty aroma as the juices burst with every bite — almost akin to that of a pleasant Yakiniku experience. Thought this was extremely value-for-money ($18.00++) considering the quality, as with most items listed on their Express Set Lunch menu, which also includes Kobachi (side dish), Chawanmushi and dessert — pretty much a steal for the quality of ingredients used and execution!
