Chope

Appreciate the attempt to be innovative, but sadly this wasn’t a good representation of Bak Chor 😢😢 Good serving of ingredients with effort - grilled pork belly slices, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes! Essentially a dry Ban Mian wannabe but didn’t quite succeed, try their prawn & hae bi hiam pasta instead! 😋😋

With Chope’s current 1-for-1 mains promotion, this dish was definitely worth it! Loved how the tagliatelle was well coated in the hae bi hiam paste (which was actually pretty good with bits of hae bi)! Though would have preferred more ingredients other than 3 fresh prawns, but definitely a successful innovative dish that’s both uniquely local and very yummy 😋😋

Also, this comes with a good variety of interesting teas (pandan earl grey, iron goddess, chamomile lavender, jibun sencha, mint, English breakfast), good coffee and small snacks on request (mini chocolate cookies and chips)!

These are the main sweets available at this high tea buffet! Had mixed opinions about the matcha tart - would have preferred the consistency to be either more creamy or more gelatinous, but couldn’t stop getting another mouth as the matcha wasn’t too sweet or too bitter 🤤🤤 Strawberry tart was normal and the base of both tarts were a little soggy for my liking. Blackforest cake was actually pretty good but really really sweet, and red velvet cake was meh with cream cheese of little effort.

Overall, still worth the price with eatigo’s 50% off at 1600/1630 or $48 for 2 pax on fave! 😋😋

These are the savouries available at the high tea buffet spread, which though limited in variety generally, I was pretty impressed with the number of savoury dishes. Hokkien Mee deserves a mention with good flavour and moisture, with huge chunks of siobak, cuttlefish and fresh prawns! The fried fish fillet was also well battered and very crispy, though fries were lackluster. Spinach cheese quiche, tuna and egg mayo finger sandwiches and raisin scones were average/subpar. Xiaolongbao though as dry as the desert with no soup in sight for miles, but it came with A LOT of meat and was actually decent? Hokkien Mee and fish and chips are enough to carry this high tea buffet at this price though! 😋😋

The 2 deals available are $48 for 2 pax on fave OR 50% off on eatigo at 1600/1630!

YUMYUM IN MY TUMTUM!! 😍😍 Deserving to be named after the restaurant, this signature dish was the perfect combination of minced BBQ pork, cheese and onions 🤤🤤 Really good thin crust pizza, and even more worth with Chope’s 50% off in the month of February! 👍🏻👍🏻

Pretty decent carbonara with generous servings of bacon! However, the sauce was too watery for my liking but at least the creamy flavour was pretty good! Try their bacon aglio olio instead for a more impressive flavour surprise 😋😋

Even at its original price, I would totally be back for this! A perfect example of a well-executed aglio olio! The spaghetti was al dente and coated with just the right amount of oil to give the moistness and the flavour, with a good kick of spiciness! To top things off even more, there was simply so much of each ingredient like mushrooms, ultra crispy bacon and big juicy prawns 🤤🤤 Good food and good ambience, perfect for chill catch-ups with friends, will definitely be back for more!

The ribs weren’t too tough (but not exactly the most tender), but the BBQ sauce was just right and generously slathered over the ribs! It comes in 3 sizes - lighter (8-12 Ribs) ($29.99++), original (12-16 Ribs, pictured here) ($32.99++) and steel city (16-20 Ribs) ($35.99++). Really worth with Chope’s 50% off in the month of February!

Pretty disappointing dish after all the hype ☹️☹️ This was part of a lunch set, which I combined with chope vouchers for maximal $$$ saving 😂😂 Portion of steak was miserly and poorly made up for with a mountain of average thin cut fries. Steak was decently done medium though nothing impressive. The most disappointing part was the sauce... It was interesting but definitely not worth the price for the quality. Ambience was really nice as the air-conditioned top floor overlooks orchard through a tall glass panel, but service wasn’t great and wouldn’t recommend unless using a Burpple/chope deal 😥😥

This was alright and pretty normal, nothing much to shout about. Pretty ex for the portion and standard (sourdough and scrambled eggs were pretty normal and not on the good end of the scrambled spectrum) The added chorizo was actually grilled pretty nicely, but not worth the price tag of $8. Thank goodness for Chope’s $50 for $100 voucher that we can splurge on this guilt-free 😋😋

Another well executed typical cafe staple 👍🏻👍🏻 Everything about the texture was on point - soft, fluffy, thick and basically what dreams are made of ☁️☁️ Wished that the pancakes were more flavourful, but the blueberry jam complemented it just right without being too sweet, so much so that the maple butter wasn’t even used much (and donated to dousing the fried chicken waffles instead). Would definitely recommend sharing this among 2-3 pax as it might get a bit jelat and heavy after a while, but definitely worth a try too and will be back to try the other flavours! 🥞🥞
