Welcome to Beach Road.

Tangy & refreshing!

Disappointing, went to see what the hype was about, all looks, no substance.

Delicious!! Extremely balanced and flavourful. Good portion to have you feeling satiated. It was $6.90, reasonably priced! 10/10 recommend!

“Where did the weekends go to?”.... it must be all the delicious food I had over good conversations.

First it started with the reliable cheese quesadillas from Vatos Urban Tacos to kick off Friday. Nothing like this chain fusion Mexican joint that always serves up tasty and filling tacos, quesadillas, burritos, and even fajitas. With Burpplebeyond savings it gave us another reason to indulge in drinks too.

Then another bout of Latin American cuisine on Saturday evening. When I gladly found out that one of my favourite places in Jewel has reopened and is back on Burpplebeyond.

Sunday lunch at TungLok got us exciting to give their dimsum a chance, away from our usual go to: imperial treasure but sadly this was the only miss out of the 3 consecutive days of Burpplebeyond redemptions. Blame the picky palate so attune to the named competitor’s dim sum, i was reeled by (too much) egg in the Malaya steamed cake with an absence of brown sugar fragrance. Then the vegetarian crystal dumplings looked good but wasn’t crystal smooth tasting. Lastly our egg tarts were run out of the mill decent.

Finally visited @machimachi_singapore after almost 4 months of anticipation! (Previous trips failed because one time it was raining super heavily, another time we were too full from dinner, another time we had other dessert/sugary plans / they were closed by the time we were done with dinner)

The drink that was on my must get list was the strawberry Panna cotta ($8.5). Because we had Burpple beyond 1 for 1 deal and wanted to match the pricing but at the same time try a different drink for the 2nd drink, we got the black milk tea with Panna cotta ($7.5).

We were advised to drink the strawberry Panna cotta within 30mins because it was made from fresh strawberries! We choose the light sugar level option as we anticipated the Panna cotta to be sweet enough!

Enjoyed both drinks very much! The Panna cotta texture was like pudding and we drank it without mixing it with the drink~

Popular as always even before 7pm. We had the yam paste w ginko nuts ($3.30) and peanut paste ($3) small and ah chew never disappoints. Fave pay is also accepted here:)

Had the lunch set ($35.90++) and topped up $10 for the C&C&C&C pasta which was honestly worth it as I thought it was rly tasty and interesting. Ordered beef cheeks for main course but it got gelat towards the end with too much potato and cheese

Really good vibes for dining and drinking. The food was surprisingly good. Tried the unagi fried rice ($11), mentaiko pasta ($15) and truffle fries ($10). Portion was just nice for two ppl. Service is commendable as well, as order was taken punctually and we were served water automatically. Do check it out as it is new here at Bugis. Rly worth it w burpple 1 for 1

A very small restaurant housed in Beach Centre. It was full house on a Saturday evening so I would definitely recommend making a reservation. The place has a rather casual vibe but has impeccable service. Staff is very helpful and dishes were served right on time. One after the other. They were attentive and would clear your plates once you have finished your dish. It is worth noting that the Burpple set menu was different from the ones featured in their regular menu. I was shown a photo with 5 courses and no text but in a gist this was what they were, served in order:

1.) Oyster Sashimi
This consisted of 2 oysters served cut and was a pleasant surprise because it was different from regular raw oysters! The texture was a lot more chewy, less watery and was complimented well by the garnished soy sauce.
2.) Sashimi Platter (scallop, yellowtail, salmon belly, tuna belly and another white fish sashimi)
Sashimi platter was lack luster in my opinion. Didn't feel particularly fresh but a nice variety of fish was presented.
3.) Prawn Tempura (fried prawn)
I indicated fried prawns because it tasted more like it than tempura, lacking the crunch of tempura batters. I am not sure if it was intended to be a tempura dish, but deep fried prawns are also not common in Japanese menus 🤷🏻‍♀️ This dish was just alright. Not great.
4.) Grilled Cod with mayo and ebiko + Ikura Chuwanmushi
The grilled cod was buttery and fresh. Light mayo dressing has a tangy taste to it with crunchy ebiko making it a tasty dish. Chuwanmushi was disappointing. I am a big chuwanmushi fan this was bad steamed egg for restaurant standards. Egg was tasteless and felt like it was made without special broth. Only saving grace is the fresh ikura on top.
5.) Beef with Garlic Fried Rice + Fish Miso Ginger Soup
As I do not consume beef, the staff was very kind to swop it out into unagi for me. The unagi was well prepared and soft to the bite but was a really small (thin) serving. Garlic rice was delicious too. My friend who ordered beef however left most of the meat uneaten because she said it was overcooked and tough. On the other hand, the miso soup was good! It was served with fatty fish slices with bone that I don't eat, but it is my first time having miso with ginger and I was pleasantly surprised.

Overall rating: 6.5/10 even though there was good service and decent food, with a wide array of dishes, I was sweating while having my food because the AC was not strong. May be because we were seated beside the drinks fridge. If you picked Unagi for the rice dish like I did, this is a very seafood-heavy course. I think it is a nice dining concept but post-taxes (with green tea) the bill came up to $143.35 and at 70 per pax I feel like you can have pretty decent Japanese food that you personally enjoy instead of being restricted by a course meal. Courses were mostly a hit or miss and the dishes I truly enjoyed were the oyster sashimi and unagi fried rice + miso soup, but you could have something similar elsewhere.

Went with the signature that was a galette stuffed with ham, gruyere, cheddar and an egg in the center. There's a saying "You eat with your eyes". It may looked a bit burnt and thin, but it was far from it. The outer layer was crisp while its inside maintained moist; and it was bigger and more hearty than the usual crepes. Not to mention that it was made with buckwheat flour and dusted with paprika powder for an added strong flavour. To complete my brunch, I had a latte to pair with it which was fragrant and full-bodied.
