Welcome to Bayfront.

Chicken tenders fried in special batter and served alongside house butter dill, Korean bbq sauce & lime honey mustard. The chicken tenders resembled the fresh chicken fillets that you would find from supermarkets. Taste-wise, it’s unfortunately pretty much similar - a lil’ too dry and un-flavourful for my liking. If you think the batter might be a redemption, unfortunately it was nothing much to shout about. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t ‘wow’ either. As odd as it sounds, what blew me away were the in-house dips. They were unique and were definitely the saving grace to the otherwise mundane - tasting chicken tenders!

Prime burger (served medium rare), aged cheese, crispy onion ring, bacon, sweet baby rays bbq, mayo, served with a generous portion of freshly sliced fries fried to golden brown! The beef patty was exceptionally juicy and yummy - as one would have expected from a famed burger place. The portion size was huge! We love how the onion rings came in a massive size as well. It was evidently fried from fresh, 100% true onions (just take a look at what’s underneath the golden brown batter if you’re in doubt.) The same freshness can be said for the fries as well - they’re pretty much made from 100% potato (you can see potato skin on them!)

Prime burger (served medium rare), American cheese, smoky pulled pork, special sauce, carolina bbq sauce - all served in a stack. Served with buttermilk slaw on top and huge portion of fries on the side. The ’special sauce’ resembled thousand island due to its orange hue and tasted somewhat similar too. Can’t quite put a description to it but nope - not tangy nor spicy but just.. creamy like thousand island. To be honest, I would have preferred a plain toasted bun as the protein, cheese and slaw provided much needed flavour in this dish! As for the massive portion of fries - they were pretty awesome! I appreciate how the fries were made from freshly sliced potatoes, with potato skin intact!

Vanilla icing frost on the rims with cinnamon toast crunch topped with a Choco taco, two churros, tons of whipped cream and dulce de Leche drizzle

10000 calories in a cup which well, is worth the gram but not too sure about the calories. The vanilla icing frost was extremely sweet - not advisable to lick it off your fork. It’s the glue that sticks the cinnamon toast crunch on the sides and hence, can only be removed if you poke/pierce it with a fork. As a result of prolonged exposure to the air + moisture from the icing, the cinnamon toast crunch was well, un-crunchy. Not the best way I would like to enjoy my cereal. Cereal should be enjoyed either fully soaked in milk or exceptionally crunchy, no? The chocolate taco is basically wafer ice cream. Unfortunately it was cheap-tasting vanilla ice cream that resembled mass produced supermarket vanilla tubs. The wafers turned soggy due to the prolonged contact with the ice cream too. The churros were rather stiff and hard. Not too sure how they managed to keep the churros solid but it’s genius! Cos that means the churros wouldn’t be soft and lumpy despite a good, long soak in the shake. The shake was pleasant-tasting. All in all, it’s worth the gram but worth only a try - just one in a lifetime for the gram. It’s a rather costly gram ($24++). Wouldn’t give any credit to the drink in overall as the individual components - ice cream, whipped cream, churros etc are all supplier-sourced and cinnamon crunch comes from repute brand too! They would have tasted nice when eaten on their own too!

Ended my meal with the Love Potion which tastes as good as it looked! It’s a sweet floral drink that was refreshing and invigorating 👅✨

The Crab Cake Benedict was pretty tantalising as well, where the sweet-savoury flavours of the deshelled crab meat were packed together, giving it a slightly chewy texture. The bacon perched upon it was thin and crispy, providing an element of crunch to cut on the monotony.

Quite possibly the dish that shot them to fame, this dish needs no introduction - they didn’t even bother giving it a proper name 😂 the Chicken ‘N’ Watermelon ‘N’ Waffles was simply marvellous 🤩 while there was nothing fancy about the chicken (I mean it’s just fried chicken), they were absolutely wonderful — perfectly simple and just what I was looking for. Juicy, tender and easily torn apart, the chicken was really flavourful with a thin, crispy skin that crackles with every bite. The cheddar waffle had a savoury kick to it and I drenched it in maple syrup for a sweet and savoury combination. The diced up, spiced watermelon was an interesting take; dunked in watery, hot sauce which was rather refreshing 👅

Expensive for a set every morning, this can only be a “reserve” experience. The set is usually for 10, but I chose iced latte making it dearer.

The experience and staff is the same as any Starbucks, which is good always, but not great.

Coffee is strong, staff is smiling and bagel is nice but not freshly made. Ham and cheese is generous, which is good.
Overall mixed feelings, but still a 4 on 5.

One of our favourite that got us craving for more. Big Eye Tuna, Marinated Loin of Tuna set on Toasted Bread with Wasabi and Sea Grape

Spago’s style is the complex kind with the perfectly grilled, juicy Angus beef patty joined by bacon and blanketed in a cascading blend of two cheeses - gruyere and aged cheddar. Also found between those glorious golden, soft buns were garlic aioli, lettuce and raw onions (which I love!). Tagging along with it, a literal bucket of very crispy fries which could have easily fed a village.

I always try to order my favourite Amela Tomato Soup as my starter. It comes with housemade crusty bread and whipped tomato butter. When these three elements unite, I can’t help but swoon. A must-try in my opinion.
