Western

Mm the rosti was crispy and paired well with the light sour cream! Hearty for sure, and chicken cheese sausage was not bad although it's kinda ex overall.

Pretty much a classic that's been here for years!

This was great in terms of the rich dark chocolate flavour you're getting from the ganache and cream, but they are all really thick, making it slightly dry overall. Personally prefer much more moist cakes so this might not be for me despite the chocolatey flavour.

Overall Rating (for bread and pecan tart): 8.5/10

This pie was pretty nutty, and the pecans were nicely roasted, so a pecan fan like me definitely appreciates the good amount of pecans here. Loved the the tart itself was also firm and had a slight buttery fragrance. The filling definitely also didn't disappoint, with it being not too sweet - I loved this.

Second time visiting @rosemeadsg, but this time not for their dinner menu, but ONLY their bread and desserts 🤭. I was able to walk-in on a random Thursday night for just the desserts as they had seats available, and the service was also great there 🥰.

🌟 Shitake Shokupan ($16++)
This Shokupan Milk Bread was glazed with sticky Maple syrup, smoked bacon and Kombu, which gives it a slight caramelised sticky top which made it so flavourful on its own. This bread was also really fluffy, and it gets even better - their house-made mushroom (porcini) butter definitely adds flavour and elevates the bread as a whole. Two of us gladly finished the entire bread ourselves, but still made me crave for more.

Would reco just having it here so the bread will be served warm and you have it at its best. You could heat it up at home but we'd never know if it's still the same quality as the one served in the restaurant 🤭.

You get to pick 2 sides, and we chose butter corn & mashed potato. Mentaiko flavours weren't really prominent, and the salmon skin wasn't really crispy as expected, and some parts of the salmon were soft, vs some parts slightly drier.

Cute Ferris wheel with 5 different appetisers that's great for sharing - Onion Rings, Sweet Potato Fries, Chicken Spam Fries, Fried Broccoli, Mozza Cheesesticks. You also get 4 sauces to pair - Nachos Cheese, Mayo, Marinara Sauce, Sambal Mayo.

Tbh truffle wasn't really evident, but I enjoyed this for their garlicky flavours, as well as strong mushroom flavours and fragrance. This was only very mildly spicy, so most people would be able to handle the spice.

With such an extensive menu, I was definitely spoilt for choice when I visited @charliesgrill.com.sg, which is located at Hougang Rivercourt with loads to choose from!

Mac & cheese ($6.90)
Surprised how big the portion was considering it's just an appetiser! This was pretty cheesy but with mostly nachos cheese flavours, and it does get a lil dry at some parts & jelak - so best to share if you're ordering.

This Chef Signatures came with Edamame, Beef Pepperoni, and Kale. They were pretty generous with the ingredients, although this pasta had much lighter flavour compared to the miso butter. Penne was cooked pretty al dente, although really wouldn't mind stronger flavours here.

They have a total of 3 outlets: Raffles Place, Asia Square, and JEM, so this could be another lunch option if you work near the area!

For those who work near CBD (Raffles Place), @twystpasta is an option for a quick and fuss-free lunch/ dinner! You might see a long queue, but they serve really quickly, and you get your food fast too!

You can choose to build your own pasta/ choose the created signatures!

Miso Butter ($9.90)
Defo my favourite of the 2 flavours that I tried. The miso flavour was pretty strong, with a slightly sweet-savoury flavour, and I chose spaghetti for this dish, together with Smoked Duck as protein and Mushrooms as toppings.

Snapper Fish & Chips ($24++)
Got their Sweet Potato Fries which requires an additional top-up iirc - and it's pretty thin and slightly crispy. Hard to go wrong with sweet ptt fries. Fish itself was alright, batter was crispy, but nothing special about it.

Located just below Pan Pacific Serviced Suites, outside of @313somerset, @oriolecoffee is pretty known for the Mac & Cheese, which got me really tempted to try them.

Bacon Truffle Mac & Cheese ($26++)
Truffle flavour was really strong from the Truffle Oil, but that also made it quite greasy. It's still pretty creamy and cheesy though (personally enjoyed it), but if you can't stand the oil then it might not be for you.
