Burpple Beyond

Will this be a weekend hobby? #3 I made the following Burpplebeyond redemption this week:
Amuse ice cream sandwich shortbread, the banoffee pecan flavor and triple chocolate flavors. The ice creams here are a treat and good for they are non-icy and smooth, sadly I felt the chocolate shortbread on chocolate ice cream a slight chocolate overdose after awhile.
That said you’d find me revisiting to try the brownies and other ice cream flavors when around the area, enabled by burpple.

Will this be a weekend hobby? I made the following Burpplebeyond redemption this week #2:
Hopscotch mains at the beautiful garden by the bay, I could not complain.
My portobello burger had some misses of way too wet sautéed onion that would not be called caramelised onions, a tasty yet contrasting tomato relish that felt like a lost child. Yet, the brioche bun used was good and portobello patty seasoned well with firmness and juiciness.

What I adored was the cocktail I snagged during happy hour, the pot of cold is a fancy concoction nicely thought through by the mixologist(s). As explained and written on menu: “This alcoholic twist is made by mixing the drink with dry ice, which lowers the temperature enough to create a frozen effect, resulting in an instantly smooth and creamy cocktail sorbet.” Also, the alcoholic content of white rum, rhuburb liqueur is not lost in the cold - hats off to the geniuses of the mixologist!

Will this be a weekend hobby? I made the following Burpplebeyond redemption this week #1:
Told mum that if I can’t afford (the time) to bake cakes, I’d at least like to eat them. Low and behold enter these pretty non-chilled cakes. Non-chilled cakes are a lot easier to bake IMHO so I had certain expectations and these were homely to nibble on in a beautiful setting.
I found the rarer beetroot and ginger cake with cream cheese a well played string of “healthier” flavors.
La Veranda is a weekend or free weekday spot you’d love to find yourself at to relax or catch up with friends so I’ve observed.

When Burpplebeyond brings you to places - here an alfresco dining pizza joint right beside Sarnies serves sourdough carbs (pizza and pastas) with pronounced flavors. Our vegetarian pizza had a strong hand of dukka that paired well with the mild cheese used. I also wondered if the plates of pizza crusts on our neighbouring tables were because diners were having almost 1 pizza each individually. I found the crust very substantial and probably a tweaked recipe of airy, crisp crust might do the trick.

I actually love how the lesser known pasta variants here, ie the caserecci we had, are sourdough pastas. With the perception that they are easier for digestion it was easy to polish the tasty plate of pasta clean.

Sourdough Banh Mi is a thing here - I was right (with reference to my post on Yeast Side) and I am glad to report that they are great, at La Saigon it is always sweetened with burpplebeyond.

For the sourdough advocates, having sourdough Banh Mi made this substantial and I loved the generous Vietnamese pickled slaw with fish sauce and chicken thigh like chunks in my order. I can’t wait to be back to try to coffee!

Cheers to Burpplebeyond and O’Brew Culture - because of them I get to end 2022 on a pleasantly sweet note with dalgona slowly melting into delicious coffee and Hojicha 🙌🏻

We recently gladly welcome an additional “pair of chopsticks” at family meals for a lack better way to put it - go figure. And I thought it should be a good way to share a meal here at Offshore, where we could all get our stomachs filled with the seafood bucket on burpplebeyond.
You get to choose how the sauces you want your seafood to be done in. We got the cream seaweed and korean gochujang sauces, the former was quite a tastily ingenious option while the latter was lacklustre. I was right about the filled stomachs when we finished most of the 1 for 1 seafood buckets and enjoyed the free flow cooked food that came complimentary with the meal.
Mum said the seafood here was fresh and I thought this was a great place for the hungry and big eaters with “free flow”; while getting a crustacean meal that balanced between affordability and quality.

Back at Ambling Turtle that I discovered only because of Burpplebeyond, today we tried the above tarts and they were good. I personally preferred the tart and sweet yuzu cheese just because of the nature of the flavours, but the Pula Hitam tart stayed true to the Asian dessert with a black glutinous rice paste as filling and a layer of thickened coconut cream as a top blanket.
Do note that the one for one beverages are only available for dine in and not takeaways which I found strange considering the latter would free up space where appropriate.

Ice cold green apple and orange sorbets, rum and raisin after a swelling day at the beach! Enabled by the one and only burpplebeyond ❤️

Had some time for a tea time treat here, give me 1 for 1 pastries anytime! Also thank you Burpplebeyond!

You can trust PPP to serve you real coffee, I had a cuppa daily brew that was well bodied and low on acidity - went well alongside the decent Kouign Aman and pain au chocolat.

On a Friday evening this was a Burpplebeyond score. Knock knock now means fuss free hearty western dishes in a chic bright restaurant setting.
I had the winner winner chicken which was a succulent chicken thigh on a bed of mash. Together with my can of Hite, it was the casual comfy TGIF dinner you’d look for. One thing I noticed was that the mash here was more runny than other mash I’ve had but nonetheless it was tasty with bits of bacon and small potato chunks.
The fish and chips are also good, straightforward battered fish fillet with chips that were hard/impossible to “stop at one”.
