Got the 1for1 lunch deal, we were given 45min time to eat and go, which might be kind of rush if you are looking for a slow lunch. Got the mushroom and sichuan noodles. Mushroom portion was generous but it tasted very similar to your friendly neighborhood BCM sauce, so the Sichuan noodles definetely stole the show with its unique blend of ma la spices in pork bits. Ordered the Piego and seafood prawn & crab dumplings- liked the latter more( didnt taste any prawn) as the piego was too cheesy and starch-y for my taste. Overall, still a great deal for lunch!
Glad we found this place! 7 course lunch set starts at $68++, which included tuna miso tatare, century egg tofu, pork ball broth appetizers, followed by a great mix of sashimi, main of either sushi (tuna, seabream, salmon belly, flounder) or chirashi bowl. Ended off with black cod and yuzu jelly. Highlight definetely the sashimi for me, meat was fresh and firm to the bite. Main was a half serving really, but the filling sides more than make up for it. Wished that the cod was done savory rather than in mayo mentai dip, which sort of overpowered the taste of such a fatty fish. Overall, great couple spot that is bang for buck, with great ambience and very attentive service!
OK, I exaggerated. But their tsukemen was really that good! Being not much of a fan of ramen much less tsukemen, the flavorful, savoury broth with chunks of meat and veggies took me by surprise. Ramen was springy and soaks up the broth quickly with each dip. Save some broth to top up for the killer soup at the end, you wont regret it.
The only reason we ordered this was cuz its e only decent 1for1 deal on e menu. And honestly? Nothing fantastic. While the tiger prawns were pretty juicy, the ramen and broth itself were just meh. Portion was not filling at all( n im a small eater!) At their normal price $25 bucks a bowl,its just exorbitant. Better order ur prawn noodles from your favourite kopitiam stall. Wont come back again.
Didnt see any truffle pieces but the aroma of the truffle oil in the rice was sufficient. Not a big portion, but succulent and well-seasoned ingredients! Beef here seems to come medium rare by default, so do sound out if you dont take this! Value for money, great cheery ambience,and definetely will be back!
Does it taste as good as it looks? Definetely. This comes off as a western meet SG chay kway teow kind of dish, very alike in the savoury sweet soy sauce aftertaste with charred hot plate rice. Add on the medium rare steak? Delicious. Portion's a sharing one though, suggest for 2.
Unique dish with savoury squid ink baked in bone marrow, you could taste the brininess of the squid ink melted into the well-baked marrow, which tastes like collagen jelly and fats umami all mixed in one. Memorable and a must -try! Bread was well-baked and goes well with the dish.
This pasta is tossed with tomato sauce thoroughly cooked in italian herb sausages to bring out the spices and best flavor of the ingredients. A less oily alternative compared to their Signature duck pasta. Lovely!
This pasta did not disappoint! The pasta is 100% handmade, and though thinner than those seen in the photos from before, still springy and light. The duck was baked in the oven to bring out the duck juices and fats, then tossed in the pasta, mixed w hazel nuts and shreds of moist duck meat. Sensational!
Very well done ribeye steak, juicy, moist and tender, this was grilled with fresh rosemary and knob of butter.Sides included basil mashed potatoes which was extremely smooth, with caramelized shallots and avocado puree, the latter which I found to be an awkward pairing with the savory mains. With 1for1, a good deal, but price is slightly steep at regular price of $32.
Overall a great dish! Even though the beef brisket done in red wine sauce was slightly tough n salty, the baby scallops and potato side drenched in cream of mushroom sauce was delightful. Service could be improved though, we ordered beer during Happy hour but was charged full price, so double check your bills! Still, overall ambience in this little hole in e wall shop is very indie and laid back, so great place to unwind! Love their wood fire oven as well, bread is lovely with plenty of unique dips.
