Welcome to Kent Ridge.

You know your coffee is going to be good when the colour of the extracted bean juice is so inviting 😍

We chanced upon @pyroast while we were here at Science Park and left satisfied with good coffee 😍 I had a cup of Iced Latte ($6) which had just the right amount of milk. It was very rich, with hints of chocolate notes, nutty flavours and fruity notes as well. You can classify this as quite an intensive cup of coffee you would like to sip!

The Dirty Genmaicha ($7) was uncommon and very interesting, as the coffee flavour was still prominent while the nutty earthy genmaicha flavour comes in towards the back. I actually prefer this to dirty matcha, as the combination of flavours is much smoother and well-rounded.

The cafe interior was quite aesthetic as well, perfect for a chill out after lunch if you do work around the area. Will be back!

Recently, my friend and I indulged in a weekend high tea buffet serving Peranakan cuisine, and we left feeling happily full.

From the atmosphere and costs to the food, every aspect was justifiable. It was the most valuable buffet compared to their normal weekday and weekend buffets, as it was the cheapest of the three and served almost all the dishes.

The buffet featured finger foods like DIY Kueh Pie Tee, allowing you to make your own pie tee with a mountainous topping. Another unique item was Chempedak Fritter, a fruit fritter tasting similar to jackfruit. They also offered standard dim sum items.

The mains included Nonya Mee Siam, Laksa, Nasi Lemak, and sides like Fried Chicken Wings, Babi Ponteh Kong Bak Pau, Sambal Telor, and Sambal Lady's Finger. I particularly enjoyed the Fried Chicken Wings; the marination was deep, and the wings were fried to a perfect golden brown, with an aroma that lingered from the meat to the bone. They were so good that I had quite a large plate of them. The Laksa was another pleasing dish, with its smooth, creamy, and coconutty curry complemented by dried shrimp chili, making it a wonderfully fragrant and slurpy delight. Unfortunately, the Babi Ponteh was a tad salty and the meat wasn't tender enough, and the Mee Siam was also somewhat salty.

For desserts, I tried some Kueh, which were quite normal to me, but I'm not a fan of Kueh, so I can't comment much. The Pulut Hitam was rich, thick, and creamy but tasted slightly burnt, possibly due to inconsistent stirring. Chilled Soya Beancurd and Lemongrass Jelly with Aloe Vera were pure bliss. The watermelon was sweet and juicy. They also offered Mingo Ice Cream. Coffee, tea, and cold drinks of the day were included in the buffet.

❤️ this eatery that serves a simple & comforting bowl of ban mian, located near my workplace! It comes with an array of ingredients including crunchy ikan bills, fried shallots, garlic slices, savoury minced meat, soft-boiled egg and a bowl of soup on the side. A great option during cool weather (like today!) as the place can be uncomfortably warm on sweltering days.

can easily feed two people😳😳 noodles were chewy and vv flavourful!

Lovely as always, the naibai doesn't disrupt from the flavours, but too big to mesh perfectly

Pistachio was good, strong and the flavour is abit diff from normal, idk if it's just the type of pistachio they use or they use more of the skin

Stracciatella absolutely sucks. Doesn't even taste like milk

Very meh, not strong

The dough texture is meh, too soft and lacking any bite, very mushy. Homemade meatballs wasn't seasoned right either and lacks flavour and bite

A very decent rendition here, as good as most outside

I think I discovered a hack. The takeaway dish is instantaneous lmao, I barely took 2 steps. Is it cos it's just kept warm? Tastes perfectly fine tho

It's unbelievable how much you get for 6bucks. I mean you can tell how deep the container is and it's almost filled to the brim.
