my dad has always wanted to try this place & we finally got to try it! i was honestly super surprised by the quality of food, service & vibe at this hidden place - they were all TOP quality. i got the 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐧 (~𝐒𝐆𝐃𝟏𝟗++), which was so tender and juicy 🤤 the sweet potato fries were also 💯 - super nicely crisped! my dad got the 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐫𝐢𝐛 𝐞𝐲𝐞 (~𝐒𝐆𝐃𝟐𝟖++), which was tender & flavourful as well. my fav fav part about all their dishes is that they don’t coat their dishes in sauces but the meat cuts are grilled to perfection & served just as they are. we used the burpple deal, so we had to get a mock tail each. from L to R: 𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐨 𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲, 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐦, 𝐀𝐪𝐮𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞, 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐬 (~𝐒𝐆𝐃𝟗-𝟏𝟎++) my fav is the Aqua marine (love stuff with a tinge of lime). imo, skip the Tango berry bc it tastes just like fruit punch haha. but anw the vibe overall was super nice & service was 👍 love love def wna come again 💓

sry have been rly out of it bc exams 😩 but anw here is a nice exam break with some good o’ribs 🤤 tried the 𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐲 𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐬 (~𝐒𝐆𝐃𝟒𝟓.𝟗𝟎++) with Garlic BBQ sauce and 𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐲 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐬 (~𝐒𝐆𝐃𝟑𝟓.𝟗𝟎++) with Hickory BBQ sauce. (both full slab!) the spare ribs had more meat & i think was more fatty & tender too. but tbh i would be sufficiently happy with the baby back, so prob would prob just order that next time. overall pretty decent, maybe a bit ex but super shiok tho!!

hidden in an industrial building just a short walk from paya lebar mrt, this place is a gem💎 . this place is generally famous for their bbq stuff bc they know how to grill ‘em. the 𝐆𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐤𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐚 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐤 (~𝐒𝐆𝐃𝟏𝟖.𝟗𝟎++) was charred so perfectly - it was fatty and melts in your mouth. we also managed to try their weekend brunch menu and would recommend the 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢 (~𝐒𝐆𝐃𝟏𝟒.𝟗𝟎++) Say real though, everything is worth it with the entertainer 1-1. Good food, good vibe ☺️

Not the most accessible location without a car, but I love this cafe bc it’s chill and pets friendly! Pictured is their 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐲’𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐧 (~𝐒𝐆𝐃𝟏𝟗.𝟓𝟎++) pasta that was filled with chicken breasts (so awesome for that protein need) with just a slight kick of spice. It kinda reminds me of a tom yum flavour though not exactly it, but anyway tastes great. Pasta is al dente as well which I love. Would love to try the other pastas here 🤤

Sawasdee Tom Yum Pasta (SGD16.90++): The pasta was so flavourful with a seafood fragrance 😍 It was a bit soft for me though as I prefer my pasta a little bit harder on the al dente side, but my mom loved it. Overall, very well done!
.
Generally, I would say that all of their food is pretty good. Other things ordered were the Signature chilli crab pasta (SGD17.90++) and the Smoked salmon cheese rosti (SGD16.90++) - they all tasted really good. My sister said that the rosti tasted even better than Marche’s one 😮 and the cheese just made it all the better 🤩
.
Was just sliiiiightly disappointed at their gelato bc there weren’t that many flavours available. Taste wise was kinda the same as many other ice cream places we’ve been to. Their waffles (SGD6) was amazing though 🥰 Crunch on the outside and soft on the inside. Definitely not the same as the other cafes!

Spinat fladen (~SGD20++): Quite a decent spinach flatbread for the veggies 🥬 Nothing to scream about, but generally quite well done.
.
We also ordered the Salmon Rosti (~SGD19++) but I personally found it too oily. The chicken cheese sausage (~SGD20++) was alright tho. Personally, I don’t think I’ll come here for the food, but maybe the beer 🍻 The place has a nice & chill vibe, so it would be good for drinks 😊 Oh also we used burpple 1-1 for this, so the price wasn’t too bad after that.

Cajun chicken (~SGD19++): Quite a low profile cafe, but it’s actually pretty good! Would say that overall the food is a bit salty, but I guess that’s what makes it tasty 😛 Chicken was tender and the mushroom sauce on it went well with it too. The vibe of the cafe is cute as well (science lab test tubes and beakers as utensils) and the lunch promo is not bad at all. Ate here with the burpple promo but even without burpple, it is definitely worth. 👍
