Asian Allure

Tender duck even thought it’s fried doesn’t feel dry in the mouth . Everything we tried , from the delectable lychee scallops to the hor fun with a nice Wok Hei flavour all was decent and above average . Will come back !

Just a fantastic bowl of comforting tasty soup w generous servings of pork liver , sliced meat & meat balls , fried pork fat and vegetables .

Everything about this was good. The crispy tempura ebi and hamburg were cooked to perfection. It was flavourful enough on its own, but the tartare and demi glace sauces helped them shine even more. And who can resist a free flow salad, egg and dessert bar! The only downside about this place is the very long queue and waiting time.

You can take the set of 6 hand rolls for $36 but it’s so filling ( rice overload ) I asked for no rice for the last 3 rolls . Seafood is decent , and the final flounder fin handroll is exquisite , super melt in your mouth . They play gangsta rap n hip hop throughout the night if you’re into this type of music .

They serve all the cult favourites of popular jap cuisine , torched mentaiko salmon rolls , chirashi bowls , beef or unagi bowls, gyoza. Reasonably priced comfort jap food .

Sukiyaki Melt In Your Mouth Beef W Uni Rice. Decently priced Omakase at $68 or $88 with really fresh sashimi

You can opt for the Nasi lemak rice instead of plain rice . It’s quite oily in general .

Pork in an Indonesian restaurant? Yes please. Solo diners should definitely order this signature dish, which features a tasting of the different types of pork that Kota88 offers.

The glaze for the sate and char siew is sweeter than our local roast meat (I like the sweet taste but not everyone may feel the same), but the deliciously charred taste/smell is something you seldom find in sg. Roast pork I find average, the crunchy pig ears are an awesome addition! Ngoh hiang, siew mai and half an egg complete this bowl.

If you come in a group, they also have a full menu of sharing style dishes, similar to any Chinese restaurant. I see quite a few Indonesian (speaking) customers here - always a good sign.

💡 : you can change the white rice to chicken rice without extra charge. Served with a rather tasteless dipping sauce so be sure to ask for the spicy sambal instead if you are a chilli lover like me.

🚗 : limited ERP parking available at springvale building where this restaurant is (parallel parking skills required), or neighboring block where KFC is. Otherwise, there is a bigger URA carpark (unsheltered) next to Shell petrol station (3 min walk).

This place specialises in creative modern interpretations of Dim Sum . We tried the XLB, CCF , Dumplings .. everything is good . But it was cold and rainy that day and somehow the good old piping hot congee which had the sweetness of the pumpkin hit the right spot for me .
