Had always wanted to try Souperstar and am so glad it's on Burpple Beyond!

Either Set A or Set B (soup with popiah) can be used for the souperstar combo deal.

I had the Sesame Chicken Popiah with the Italian Minestrone Soup and the bf had the Traditional Popiah with the Clam Chowder.

Really enjoyed the Sesame Chicken flavor as it is quite an interesting twist of chicken in popiah skin (with Japanese sesame sauce!). The traditional popiah tastes normal - not too shabby but nothing to rave about.

For the soup, I feel it is overall quite lackluster as there's not much umami to the minestrone and the toast got soggy way too fast and it's too cheesy/buttery for my liking. The clam chowder is too creamy lol. If you like creamy soup, you'd love this.

Overall, I would come again for the popiah but maybe not for the soups.

Got to know of this place through Food King and I totally see why they are foodking good.

The portions of poke were humongous haha very worthwhile! I ordered beef cubes, spicy salmon, tofu skin (which is actually inari!), edamame, chuka wakame and almond with brown rice.

The beef cubes were soft and tender whereas the salmon was so fresh and firm. The toppings were also fantastic - love the inari!!

However, they only have bar seats though ): wish they have lower seats haha but it doesn't hurt the overall experience - just a good to have.

Highly recommended :)

Price: 6/10
Service: 6/10 (as mostly self service)
Food: 9/10
Ambience: 6/10 (would be better to have a mixture of seatings)

Overall: 8/10 - totally would be back again and again

Usually I have TDC at Guoco Tower but since it's (still) under renovation, we made a 'pilgrimage' to MarinaOne haha

Super impressed with TDC spring menu!

Ordered 2x servings of baby spinach (+$0.50 extra per serving), chicken breast, honey tofu, ginger miso glazed edamame, chopped cashew nuts as well as the yuzu.

Every component was extremely well seasoned and a huge shout-out to the yuzu sauce - tangy and sweet!

PS: Really hope that the Guoco Tower TDC finishes renovation soon haha!

The dish is tasty and I must say the mentaiko here is done really well. However, the portion size for the burpple beyond set is really tiny. Feels more like an appetizer rather than a main. Decent food but unless they revise their portion size, not coming back.

Was excited when I saw this on burpple as I'm a big fan of customized bowls but sadly, the ingredients were bland and dry.

I picked the Chicken Breast, Edamame, Sweet Potatoes, Brown Rice and Sunflower seeds as well as a hot and spicy dressing (on the side)

The chicken breast is dry and tasteless, Edamame lacks salt, sweet potatoes are dry (but how?? I have no idea) and the brown rice and sunflower seeds taste as they should be, nothing special. Given, the sauce is supposed to help season the bowl but I guess after trying bowls from TDC, I expected the individual ingredients to be seasoned. I'm glad I requested for the dressing on the side because the hot and spicy dressing taste foul (to me, at least).

So what I got in the end was a dry, albeit super healthy (I think) bowl. Not recommend.

Price: 6/10 (with burpple deal, it's quite affordable)
Service: 5/10
Food: 2/10
Ambience: 7/10 (quiet evening with warm lights)
Overall: 3/10 (Good to try once maybe?)

Ordered the Paprika Chicken and Cheesy Rendang dish and although the cafe was relatively empty, the dishes took ~25mins to arrive. It was also quite warm - it felt like a toaster inside!

The waiter came to explain that as the chicken is prepared from scratch, the waiting time is slightly longer. Apparently, they had reviews in their other concept (Citrus by the Pool) that their prepped chicken was tough and hence they decided to try with raw ingredients.

Well, although the wait was long, I have to admit the chicken was incredibly juicy and tender. The wedges were quite tough though. Probably should have baked it while preparing the chicken 😂.

My boyfriend had the Rendang dish and we found it underseasoned and bland. Quite disappointed ):

Overall, I feel that the cafe is pretty and they serve some neat dishes especially the customized salad bowls. Pity these are not on the Burpple deals. Their marble tables are very instaworthy and the decor is upscale and chic. Personally feel it might be better as a dessert cafe. Probably will be back if they have more dessert items but otherwise, I wouldn't go out of my way for this.
