Bold, Unique Fermented Flavours Finally had the chance to have dinner with my partner at Ingleside. From the start, the service was fantastic. We were offered a cold towel – much-appreciated in Singapore’s heat and the staff were attentive and friendly, explaining the menu, and our orders, without ever being intrusive. For starters, we had the sourdough bread. It was decent, nothing too special but the real star was the fermented miso butter. Salty, slightly sour, full of complex umami flavours, it elevated the dish and paired beautifully with the bread. We also had the Hokkaido scallop. The lacto-fermented tomato dressing and pickled green apples brought a refreshing acidity that perfectly balanced and enhanced the scallop’s natural sweetness and freshness – a great way to whet the appetite. Then came the 14-day dry-aged Iberico Chuletero, which honestly really really surprised me. The meat had a deep, earthy nuttiness, and the pairing with Marsala sauce, potato skin, and onion purée went so well together. It had a nice comforting homely feel, but yet elevated to fine dining standards with it complex flavours. But the highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the Wagyu Picanha. Marinated in shio koji and cooked to a perfect medium rare. This dish was special. The marinade gave it a slightly sweet, salty, earthy, floral flavour and so much more that’s hard to put into words. It was so complex, unique, and simply delicious. You just have to try it to understand. Verdict: If you love bold, and unique flavours with fermented elements, Ingleside is a must-try at least once. A truly special dining experience.

Great food, service and vibes Dinner at Ingleside was a lovely experience! We started with fresh sourdough bread served with fermented miso butter. The butter was rich and full of umami, pairing perfectly with the soft, warm bread—an excellent start that set high expectations for the rest of the meal. For starters, we had the Hokkaido scallops, which turned out to be one of my favourites. Cured in kombu and topped with finger lime and a lacto-fermented tomato dressing, it was bright and so refreshing! Then came the mains: the Tajima Wagyu Picanha and the Lampiño Ibérico Chuletero. My partner and I especially loved the shio koji marinade on the Picanha. It made the beef incredibly tender with a subtle sweetness. Paired with banana shallots and a touch of salt, the sweet and savoury flavours melded beautifully in every bite. That said, the star of the night for me had to be the Ibérico pork. Dry-aged and topped with a marsala sauce, the dish exceeded expectations. The balance of flavours was unexpectedly perfect, and the marsala sauce truly won me over. Service throughout the night was fantastic. Though we sat at the bar counter, the staff were thoughtful—giving us space to enjoy the evening while knowing just when to step in to explain each dish. I really appreciated how Ingleside showcases fermentation, dry aging, and woodfire techniques without being over the top. Every dish felt intentional and well-executed. I’d love to come back to try more of what they have to offer :)

Good place for a date night out! Good place for a date night out! Service was really attentive and each dish was introduced with much care. There were many standouts - the fresh tuna tartare was paired nicely with a house-made shoyu, smoked kingfish was sweet and fresh, the confit pork cheek was succulent and tasty, and the duck breast was charred beautifully with a melt-in-your-mouth texture from the dry ageing. The sweet and tart deconstructed lemon meringue tart was also a refreshing and good ending to the meal (:

Delicious KBBQ! Absolutely loved the food here! :-) The beef was cooked perfectly—super tender, juicy, and had just the right amount of fat. It melted in my mouth and was full of flavor. The beef tartare with avocado was also excellent—the two really complemented each other well, creating a fresh, creamy balance without any gamey or overpowering raw taste. The potato jeon was another favorite—crispy on the outside, with a cheesy, flavorful filling inside. Everything was well-executed and delicious. Definitely recommend!

Sophiscated yet delicious experience here! The visit to there was amazing, from the atmosphere, decor and also the ambience. Even the service was brilliant! Before the meal we had panchan, which was all good. Personally i love their handmade kinchi and also their salad. When the mains arrive, the meat was sooo tender!! To my surprise, both Pork tender and jowl was not tough at all but tender and juicy!! Next, was the thinky sliced brisket,short rib and marinated short rib which was all soo tender.ohmygodd they are literally melted in my mouth, BEST BEEF MEAT! My favourite was the marinated short rib among the rest but they were all sooo good! Go ahead and try guys! The house feast includes soybean soup, steamed egg and many all which i felt that it was worth it. Additionally, we had the Cheese- Potato Jeon which was also sooo good, tasted like rosti with the fragrant mozeralla cheese, also mong my favourite!! Best experience i’ve had so far and defintely will be back for more!

Spectacular Korean BBQ! The beef and pork was incredible, cooked perfectly with just the right balance of tenderness, juiciness, and fat. Melted in my mouth and was bursting with flavor. The beef tartare paired with avocado was equally impressive, offering a fresh, creamy combination without any strong raw taste. The hint of lime also provided a refreshing flavour profile to the dish! Everything was thoughtfully prepared and delicious. The atmosphere was really nice too! Highly recommend!

Yum The ginseng chicken soup was very flavourful and chicken was super tender. 10/10 recommended

Comforting culinary experience! Stopped by the restaurant for an incredibly nourishing and comforting dinner. The Cordyceps Chicken Soup was silky, rich, and infused with a generous amount of tender chicken pieces that paired wonderfully with their chilli sauce. I also recommend complementing it with the Prawn Roll and Yam Rice. Altogether, the meal felt like a culinary deep exhale 😮‍💨🤍.

Best herbal soup!!! I've had their soups a few times now and I really love the strong fragrant aroma of the herbs they use! It really smells sooooo good. Highly rec their Ginseng Black Chicken Soup and Cordyceps Chicken Soup!! Also the prawn rolls were bigger than I expected and were super yummy 😋 The staff were very friendly too and I enjoyed my time there with my family.

Puttanesca Penne Penne pasta in Puttanesca sauce, with a generous amount of olives and capes. I added ham here as part of the customisation. Puttanesca translate as Prostitute, as the sauce is said to originate from the brothels at Spanish Steps, Italy.

Spizza for dinner tonight. QUINTA - tomato, mozerella, egg, black truffle paste + extra add-on of spinach. The truffle scent is irresistibly intoxicating!

Spizza for dinner! The benefits of having a wood-fired pizza kitchen near home... lazy dinner ready for collection in 20 mins. The Elisa - tomato, mozzarella, pesto sauce, olives, pine kernel and parmesan cheese! Yummy toasty thin-crust pizza! <3 (Truffle lovers, don't miss the Quinta)

One of the best steakhouses! Had a wonderful dinner at Meadesmoore. The food was simply exceptional, their wagyu steak was definitely the star of the show. It was cooked to perfection, super flavorful. On top of that, i really enjoyed the broccolini and dessert also! Ambience was amazing as well, very cozy, i really enjoyed it. To top it off, the staff were all friendly and very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend!

Meadesmoore Steakhouse - 26 May 2025 Went with my partner on a lovely weekday evening. Was looking around for a restaurant to satisfy my steak cravings. Restaurant had a lovely ambience with dark settings The Chicharones were super crispy and good. Not too oily despite the crunchiness. Next, we had the Broccolini, Lamb Rack and Ribeye. Boy, we were amazed with the portion of the meats. The lamb racks and Ribeyes were so well seasoned, and the meat was so tender. If yall read my past reviews, yall will know that I am a lover of Ribeyes and Steak. I must say this is one of the best Ribeyes I ever had. We ended the meal with the Pavlova Flotante, lovely dessert bursting with fruit flavours. Pavlova was decently sweet too. Would totally return back in near future. Absolutely adore it.

Exceptional food and beautiful decor The bone marrow was rich and flavourful, and the washugyu usda super prime ribeye was perfectly done and seasoned, along with a decadent mac and cheese. Topped off with a fresh tiramisu that was light and so satisfying!

Strawberry Matcha Cloud Latte Strawberry Matcha Cloud Latte ($9) - The initial sips with the frothy matcha cream were yummy (earthy and thick) though after stirring in the strawberry milk and jam/puree, it got a tad too sweet for me. The taste of strawberries also kinda overpowers the matcha but it's a nice cup nonetheless as the elements blend well together.

Honey Pear Chrysanthemum Honey Pear Chrysanthemum ($9.20) - Another Rise Bakehouse Heritage special, this pretty slice was delicate and fairly refreshing. Stacked with sweet pear bits, the soft honeyed sponge was mildly floral too - a nice, balanced and light teatime/ after-meal snack.

Singapore Chicken Satay Singapore Chicken Satay ($15.90) - Don’t sleep on this! It may not be the best I have ever eaten but the skewers were more than decent. Very succulent, nicely seasoned and has lovely charred edges. The peanut sauce was delish too, not overly sweet and of a nice consistency. Love the moreish crackers on the side as well, great for finishing the sauce.

Early Father Day celebration My daughter decided to celebrate an early Father's Day with me, and she took me to Hopscotch at Capitol Arcade, a charming restaurant offering a variety of Western dishes. To mark this special occasion, we decided to try some of their signature cocktails. I opted for the “A Decade in Time,” which was served in an elegant hourglass glass, beautifully paired with an infinity mirror display showcasing light paintings of memorable moments. My daughter chose the “Wish Upon a Lantern,” inspired by the traditional Chinese sky lantern. The cocktail came with a paper lantern for us to write our wishes on before the staff set it on fire in front of us, revealing the drink inside. It was an incredibly unique and memorable presentation that added a special touch to our celebration. We also ordered a selection of appetizers, including mushroom and lobster bisque soup, which was rich and flavorful, accompanied by crab cakes served with fried mautou and a spicy chili crab sauce. The sambal grilled octopus confit was another highlight, bursting with flavor. For the main course, my daughter had the duck confit with foie gras, which was expertly prepared, the meat was tender and perfectly cooked. I went for the signature black garlic ribeye steak which was served with bone marrow butter. The steak was juicy and tender and I savored every bite. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the food, and the staff were exceptional attentive and thoughtful, making us feel pampered from the moment we walked in until the end of our meal. Hopscotch is a fantastic spot to create lasting memories with its unique cocktails and great food. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a special dining occasion.

Left the place feeling absolutely stuffed and satisfied! I brought my dad to Hopscotch @ Capitol for a little father-daughter dinner date after church, and it turned out to be such a delightful experience. We started with the Chilli Crab Cakes and Sambal Grilled Octopus—both perfect starters to whet the appetite. The crab cakes were packed with generous chunks of crab meat, and the rich, slightly spicy chilli crab sauce that came with it really hit the spot. The octopus was beautifully grilled, tender, and had a lovely smoky char, balanced out by a touch of spice and creamy sauce. For mains, I went with the Duck Confit with Foie Gras, which was easily the star of the evening for me. The skin was incredibly crispy while the duck meat stayed tender and moist. The tangy-sweet mandarin orange salsa on the side added a refreshing twist that cut through the richness perfectly. My dad had the Ribeye Steak, and he couldn’t stop raving about how soft and juicy it was! We also treated ourselves to two cocktails (A decade in time, and Wish upon a lantern), and I have to say, Hopscotch really brings the theatrics when it comes to drinks. Both cocktails came with flair and were packed with local fruity flavours like mangosteen and soursop—super refreshing and a fun way to round out the meal. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. From bold flavours to beautifully executed dishes and drinks, Hopscotch really delivers on its promise of celebrating Singaporean identity through food and cocktails. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a satisfying meal with a local twist and great vibes!

Dinner Great night out at hopscotch with their anniversary cocktail and steak, steak was juicy and tender. Cocktail was amazing as well!

Great late night supper spot 😁 Zi Char style order, simple staple dishes still just as flavourful! Perfect for a meal after a long day's work and a wonderful place to visit for a late night supper treat! This is my second time here and I decided to try their porridge this time. As it was already late and i didn't have much of an appetite, porridge seemed like a great choice! And it definitely did not disappoint. I went with a friend and she chose to order classic dishes like the sweet and sour pork, shrimp paste fried wings and i had to order the brinjal with minced meat and salted fish for her to try 😋 Prawn paste chicken was deliciously fragrant, crispy bits on the exterior with a tender interior just how i love it. Their sweet and sour pork is classic and the brinjal is just as good as i remember. Can't forget their mega homemade Ice Lemon Tea that i absolutely hyped up the first time! Big shoutout it it again 😁

Taiwanese Porridge! Visited Gu Zao Ren for dinner and was really impressed! There is a diverse selection of zi char dishes to choose from. We ordered cereal chicken, chai poh omelette, hot plate bean curd and cockles. The cockles are definitely a must order, they are fresh and best eaten with the house chilli. The other dishes were delicious and paired perfectly with the Taiwanese porridge. Differing from the usual Teochew porridge, it is thicker and has chunks of sweet potato in it. This place is worth visiting if you’re craving for a hearty meal!

Taiwanese Porridge Zi Char Don’t be fooled by the simple presentation—Gu Zao Ren Taiwan Porridge delivers comforting, home-style flavours. The cai po omelette was packed with savoury crunch, and the stir-fried dried shrimp gui miao was a flavourful, crunchy standout. The free-flow rice and porridge were a nice touch. Warm service and cosy vibes round off a satisfying meal.

Lots on the menu to choose from Tried this place for a simple lunch near Bugis. The stir-fried pork was tender and not spicy, cabbage was crunchy and the lychee cherry tomatoes were sweet and refreshing.Ended the meal with a bowl of ice jelly.

Spinach and Salmon pizza $30 Beautiful pizzas, wood fired made fresh in front of you. Prices are a little high but currently they are running a 1 for 1 offer on takeout. Affogato coffee is authentic but average tasting. A must try if you like pizzas fresh and you are around bukit Timah. I recommend the salmon and spinach pizza for $30

Great Pizza! Came here for lunch with my friend. We ordered the Quinta pizza ($19 for M)- Tomato, Mozzarella, Egg and Black Truffle Paste. The first thing that hits you is the truffle aroma and then you take a bite and what fills your mouth is an earthy taste with some acidity from the tomato sauce. Really good and the crust was quite crispy too. Gnocchi Al Gorgonzola ($18)- Gratinated homemade Potato Dumplings with Gorgonzola, cream and ham. Take a scoop of it and what you get is the taste of blue cheese that is not too strong but just nicely balanced with the cream that makes you crave for seconds. The potato dumpling was good as well. It was perfectly cooked and too soft or mushy. Calamari ($14)- Crispy squid rings with Arriabiata sauce and Truffle Mayo. The batter was really crispy but could be seasoned more. Calamari tasted quite under seasoned. Arriabiata sauce is served room temperature and added savoury and acidity to the mild tasting squid. Mayo had very mild taste of truffle. Maybe my pizza and gnocchi killed my tastebuds. Oh well. Passionfruit Iced Tea ($4.80). Tea was good but slightly a bit sweet for my liking. Servers on that day were friendly and food didn't take too long to arrive. Overall a good place to have a meal but skip the calamari.

medium sized pizza enough for 2! ordered the Barbara pizza [$18.50 (M)/ $22.50 (L)] which has tomatoes, mozzarella, spicy Italian minced pork, red onions and olives. it was fresh out of the oven & the cheese melted in my mouth!! 🤤 8/10 would recommend

1 for 1 Mains + Bar bites 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

1-for-1: Main Dish + Cocktail (save ~ $55) 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!

Good food at a good deal! 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.

salmon Teriyaki Grilled Salmon was a pleasant surprise – perfectly grilled with a slightly crispy skin and soft, flaky meat inside. The teriyaki sauce added just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the natural flavour of the salmon. Chicken Tori Yaki was also well done. The skewers were juicy, nicely charred, and full of flavour. Great texture and a smoky finish made it really enjoyable.

Teriyaki chick don The Teriyaki Chick Don was delicious and value for money. The chicken was tender and well-coated in a sweet and savoury sauce, served over sushi rice. The Chicken Tori Yaki skewers were juicy with a nice grilled flavour. Lightly charred and well-seasoned.

Healthy Japanese Dons! The Unagi Maki was packed with flavour from the Garlic Mayo, the portion was very large as well and was very filling. Also ordered the Warrior Beef Don - the beef was well cooked and tender! The greens added a satisfying crunch and more texture to the bowl! The Keto Don came with thick cuts of salmon paired with shirataki noodles, making it an interesting low carb option! Also had the Chuka Idako (baby octopus) which was savoury and tangy.
