Welcome to Harbourfront.

Yet another tendon restaurant hailed from Japan (not that I am complaining), Tempura Makino’s lunch sets were pretty decent though a little steep in price. Having their Makino Special Tendon ($25) which comes with miso soup, I liked that the portion of rice was on the smaller side but overall the bowl was still really substantial with all the items. Stacked with battered Kisu Fish, Anago, Ika, Maitake Mushroom, Butternut Pumpkin, Eggplant, French Bean, Egg, and three pieces of Ebi Tempura; the tendon had quite the selection. The ingredients tasted fresh, especially the seafood. With the light batter, the flavours, and most importantly the textures of the items were able to shine, even the more delicate ones like the saltwater eel and squid. The Maitake Mushroom and Butternut Pumpkin were really sweet as well. I also enjoyed the fact that their signature tare sauce was more savoury than sweet and was mainly found drizzled on the rice instead of the tempura. However, it was definitely a little cloying to have it all in one seating for me - all the tempura plus the richness of the yolk. The complimentary yuzu daikon certainly helped in countering the heaviness.

Second time back at @fuelplussg ! Made it a point to try out different dishes this time!

🐥Chicken Overload ($17): This was the top most item i wanted to try since there were food reviews for it. Comes with fried juicy chicken breast with mashed potatoes, truffle oil mushroom in mushroom sauce, poaches egg and fried lotus chips. Everything went so well together and we wiped clean the plate! The fried chicken was very nicely marinated including the batter crust. Tastes as good as kfc chicken or shilin snacks chicken cutlet. I absolutely love the creamy mushroom sauce! Went very well with the creamy smooth mashed potatoes and fried chicken! Truffle smell was strong too!

Prices are still nett here (surprisingly)! Very value for money! A good place to have a delicious meal after exercising at mount faber / labrador park!

🍝 Tom Yum Seafood ($17): creamy tomyum sauce served with Fettucine Pasta, 3 prawns and some clams. We got this to match the price point (because we had one for one hehe) and we already tried the truffle bacon mushroom farfalle pasta before. This tom yum wasnt overly spicy and more towards the sour side. I only wished more seafood was given.

Best steamed prawn dumpling (Har Gau) imo. The prawn filling is crunchy and generous. Every other dim sum dish is competently executed as well. Xiao Long Bao, fried prawn & mango roll, siew mai, steamed Teochew dumpling are the must order each time too!

Filling, healthy & super worth it with 1-1!
There’s lunch promo happening right now too.

Believe it or not, this is the first time I’ve ever had a SmokeShack ($14.40 for a double). I’ve gotten sidetracked by limited time specials like the shallot one, or simply failed to resist the allure of the almighty Shack Stack on my previous forays into the Holy of Holies of fast food burgers. This time, however, I stayed strong to finally wrap my ravenous maw around the SmokeShack.⠀
⠀
Don’t get me wrong, it was still a beautiful burger, but the domineering cherry peppers simply drowned everything else out with their loud, spicy and smoky flavours. The salty, gratifyingly greasy smashed beef patties were obfuscated by the peppers, and the bacon simply faded into the shadows due to the domineering character of the cherry peppers.⠀
⠀
Still, the SmokeShack will comfortably beat many burgers out there due to the sublime quality of the ingredients & seasoning on the burger. Protip: add on some raw onion rings, a couple of pickles and a pint of ale to temper the hedonistic lavishness of the SmokeShack. Thank me once you’re done devouring this tasty burger.

Refreshing drink; tad too sweet; with fresh blue berries & raspberry..

Calamari is fresh, firm & chewy; thinly battered, deep-fry to crisp, not greasy; lemon aids in reducing the greasiness; dipping sauce is thick & complement the dish well..

Deep-fry battered chicken wings tossed in garlic soy sauce; sauce taste is mild; meat appears pinkish red, tender to bite, not greasy, taste nothing special; lemon aids in balancing out the taste..

Chunks of fresh & firm lobster meat with a crunch bite; bread roll is buttery & slightly crispy, however quite dry & slightly tough for my liking; generous portion of crispy fries that is not greasy; love the addition of lemon that add citrus taste to it..
