Welcome to Bugis. Looking for Western places?

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

the coffee was burnt :")

Food and ambience was good
The burpple deal is worth it. Portion for the mains can be shared for 2.
Mains:
-Fish and chips was decent. The fish was cooked perfectly, not dry nor soggy.
-Rib eye was cooked perfectly. Fries had very nice truffle taste.

Bar bites:
Har Cheong Gai chicken and Lamb chop was good to have with some beer

Overall, would go again to try other dishes

Head to The Telegraph by Olivia, conveniently located at Guoco Midtown, and indulge in our #BurppleBeyond 1-for-1 deals: Main Dish + Cocktail or Main Dish + Bar Bites.

Don’t miss out on the Coconut Braised Beef Short Ribs, served with apricot and raisin pilaf, splashed with coconut gravy, and topped with house peri peri. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty meal or a casual bite, they’ve got you covered!

Of course, you can’t go home without trying Beyond The Dough’s brilliant Home Made Tiramisu ($12). Essentially a greatly balanced, delicious slice of cake. Think rich coffee flavour, creamy smooth mascarpone, moist layers of sponge that are just boozy enough and a delectable bittersweet blanket of cocoa powder on the very top.

Reminding me of a breakfast pizza, the Bismark ($35) was a foolproof, classic pairing with Mozzarella, Mushroom, Prosciutto, Egg, Pecorino and Black Pepper. Yes to the luscious runny yolk, savoury melted cheese and saltish ham. As expected the wood-fired dough was the highlight, the thin crust exceptionally seasoned and you got to love the beautiful smokey charred edges. The fine pie with soft-crisp-and-the-right-amount-of-chew bites.

Seemingly studded with herbs in their batter, the Not Your Ordinary Fried Chicken ($15) was executed perfectly too. Thin, delicately light, crisp, crunchy and not at all greasy, the exterior was superb. I especially enjoyed the wonderfully marinated and succulent protein which was perfumed with the homemade Japanese herb sauce - so juicy and moreish.

Beyond mere pizzas

🍝Home Made Lasagna
Pricey for its portion but Beyond The Dough’s Home Made Mini Bucket Lasagna ($12) was pretty darn good; I would say it is definitely one of my favourites. Nothing like the conventional pasta dish, their rendition was like a mini pasta soup with gooey umami cheese baked atop flavourful beef chunks simmered in a tantalising tomato sauce. Limited to one portion per customer, the adorable petite pot tasted real comforting and a must-try in my opinion. Truly a starter to get you going before you sink your teeth into the chef’s signature pies.

Choose from your pick of burpple deals at this cafe bistro at the swanky new Guoco Midtown. We went with the Mains + Bar Bites combo, meaning from a selection we could get two sets of Mains + Bar Bites for the price of 1, worth!

For Bar Bites, we got the Har Cheong Gai Winglets ($16.80) and Grilled Lamb Chops ($26.60). Winglets were crisp, juicer, but could use slight bit more intensity in flavour. Lamb chops came in such a large portion, but about a quarter of it were the fats haha! Otherwise, the lamb was grilled well and nicely seasoned, without the gamey taste but a tad too oily for my liking.

As for the mains, we went with the Hokkaido Scallop Pesto ($24.80) and Miso Baked Salmon ($26.80). While the scallops weren't quite fresh the pesto pasta was quite addictive and paired nicely with the fusili. On the other hand, the baked salmon was a tad overcooked and underseasoned, with the only flavour being some kind of miso mayo squeezed on top of the salmon. At least marinate the salmon in miso! The saving grace was the mashed potatoes which was buttery and creamy.

Overall, food was decent but there is room for improvement. Service given was also just passable. Ambience of the place was nice but somewhat stuffy and warm. But the burpple deal sweetened the meal, with the total for the 4 dishes plus a pint of beer coming up to just $76.

Wanted to try this place and enjoy the new guocco midtown.
The pasta was ok, they gave quite a few scallops (more than I expected)
I like the fried squid, portion size is quite big.
The har Cheong gai chicken was a little too Chao da, could tell they over refried.

But we paid around $70 for two mains and two pretty big sides & the place was nice and quiet
But not sure if I will come again although.

1 for 1 burpple deals are so worth of the money. And the drink is nice too. Scallop with very fresh taste. Good. Will come back.
