($9) I wanted to buy cake last 2 week ago but then I just wanted to eat outside instead at home. But the crepe cake was quite milky and creamy. It's just so good enough with sauce and the thai green tea sauce can enhance well with the cake to avoid dryness. But I didn't fridge the cake and sauce that time so the sauce was turned to waterish state.

used burpple at their bugis outlet which sadly only allowed takeaways. the plates they used for dine-ins were so pretty so we rly wanted to dine-in but bopes

their packaging q nice if you bringing home and they pack their sauce into these cute bags so you can pour onto the cake yourself at home. the box they used can’t be disassembled though so it was q hard for us to eat bc we ate it outside. the cakes also melted q quickly

i liked this cake a bit better than their thai milk tea cake bc at least it tasted like mango but my friend didn’t like the artificial mango flavour that this cake had. there were a few cubes of actual mango in this cake but they didn’t taste that great either. the coconut sauce was v watery and also didn’t have much taste

this cake was v disappointing lol it looked rly good in pictures so i rly wanted to come and try their cakes but there wasn’t much thai milk tea taste at all. the sauce looked promising as well but it also didn’t taste like anything. the cake was just a v plain crepe cake which tasted v normal

Sweet potato balls (4 ⭐️; $3/10)
Muah chee (3.5 ⭐️; $2.50)
🍴Have been on the hunt for sweet potato balls after falling in love with them in Taiwan and glad to find them at a humble coffee shop. Lady boss was also sweet enough to let me try an assortment of her traditional Chinese snacks.

The sweet potato balls were addictive with a thin crisp exterior and chewy sweet potato interior. While less crisp and airy compared to Taiwan night markets, we enjoyed the smooth and naturally fragrant sweet filling (good to know that zero sugar is added!).

The muah chee was of enjoyable soft and chewy texture. Well-coated with either peanut or black sesame. Personally preferred the tastier chunkier peanuts and found both to be on the sweeter side with the sugar bits.

A delicious fried fish with crispy batter and juicy inside served with flavourful spicy basmati rice.
A satisfying lunch meal worth trying!

Old school and fantastic Steamboat

Having a choice of fish head or fish meat, we unanimously voted to go fish meat as we were lazy to deal with bones.

And we were served with a steamboat full of fresh slices of batang fish meat.

But what really won us all over was how fantastic, 5* great the Soup was. It was flavourful and tasted damn good.

The fish meat was also fresh and portion is damn huge.

Free top up of soup, but the top up seems like just a pot of hot water.

Auntie will push a cart of side dishes over to order like those hong kong dim sum push cart. There was braised duck, braised egg and salted Vegetables. Some days have pork trotters.

$18 portion

The last burpple review for this place was 9 years ago. So for it to survive so long, means surely have standard la.

And for $18 portion, I think not bad the size, elsewhere like this maybe $23++. Somemore $18 is 2024 price, 9% GST price.

Served on a hotplate, so the sambal sauce still bubbling when served.

Sambal was quite good as well.

($4.30) finally tried their matcha w azuki series on iTea on towards end of dec :) but then auzki is not that sweet as i though ? But matcha latte still taste mild bitter but a sweet end note. I don't know whether I should trying ice version instead?

really not that bad tbh but they give me chicken breast :") chicken breast meat is not oily but slightly tough to chew thru. my friend told me that their begedi is nt that nice.

($1.80) it just gotta extra savoury taste with peanut sauce tbh compared to normal peanut mjk. It just gotta once a while for ordering snack.
