Main + Drink $20.90 chicken arabbiata + cold brew white & chicken ragout + cold brew white food & drinks were quite meh..., hahahahah :-( we prefer nus pasta xpress 🤓 coffee was uhrMmMm idk but nope ok but place is pretty and v chill vibes gud for gatherings & catchups

For 1-for-1 Main & Drink (save~$18) Find this hip cafe along Horne Road near Lavender MRT for solid western nosh. The grilled Chicken Arabiatta ($13.90) is a good choice, as is the flaky Pan-Seared Salmon Fillet ($19.90) in a creamy lemon-butter gravy. The Bagel Set With Avocado ($17) that comes with buttery folds of scrambled eggs is a great all-day breakfast option. *Muslim-owned Photo by Burppler Komal Salve

Mild Strength, Medium Lavender Scented Latte Read on Burpple that this is the recommended drink so I decided to give it a try as part of my burpple deal. Noted that the beans are supplied from Allpress Expresso when I made my order.p Hot lavender latte (single shot) is usually served slightly sweetened and is priced at $5.50 I had requested for mine to be unsweetened as I’m not a fan of sweetened coffee. The staff recommended for me to opt for the slightly sweetened for the fullest flavor and satisfaction and offered to put the sugar syrup on the side for me if I decided to try it later. It was additional effort on his team to clean up and I appreciated it very much. Came across some reviews saying that the coffee strength is extremely weak and decided that I’d add an extra shot (+$0.40) to try to counter that. Total cost adds up to $5.90 for a cuppa double shot hot lavender latte. My boyfriend, not a fan of coffee, ordered an iced lavender latte (double shot) as the burpple deal limits the drink selection to coffee. Like its unchilled sibling, it comes sweetened and is priced at $7.50. The hot lavender coffee was served warm, topped with some purple lavender flowers against the brown and whites of the milk coffee, on a wooden coaster with “Bravery x Allpress” carved onto it. A small metal pitcher of sugar syrup and a metal spoon accompanied my cup of latte. Lavender smell was pretty strong at first whiff but faded off later on. Temperature of the drink was way cooler than that which lattes are usually served at and it’s also not what the way I’d liked it to be. As mentioned in other reviews, the coffee in the drink was almost undetectable (even with the additional shot I had requested) and it became underwhelming for me. The lavender flavor paired well with the milk but I would choose to go without the lavender next time in order to have a higher chance at tasting the coffee hints. I did eventually try the slightly sweetened version at half point mark but it didn’t help the drink in meeting my expectations. Again, I do appreciate the staff’s gesture of providing alternatives and recommendations. Iced lavender latte was served in a tall slim glass with a black plastic straw topped with purple flowers as well. Taste was likened to the warmer sibling. Definitely not a pick me up kind of drink. My boyfriend didn’t enjoy it very much as well. I’d think that the taste and enjoyment of this drink would vary across the coffee and non coffee drinkers depending on their preference of lavender. Previous experience of Allpress expresso beans m at “Baker & Cook” had me trying the drink at this cafe with a certain expectation. Perhaps it would have been different had I not came with that experience. Will recommend to increase the number of shots by 2 or 3 times if you would like to try the drink! May come back to try the normal flat white with 2-3 additional shots.

Review: Wheeler’s Yard Tried the Porky Bowl + Ginger Lemonade [$24+/set]. I would say the drink is an acquired taste (My partner wasn’t too fond with the taste actually, but I’m okok with it). The Porky bowl is like any other Japanese Don, except the usual Pork Katsu is replaced with Bacon, which I have no complaints about since bacon is always good. But the steep price may deter me from going again, unless I use the burpple 1 for 1 to offset the cost.

60 Deg Chicken Breast ($18.90+) The dish is amazing. The chicken was tender even though it is the breast meat. The mashed potatoes exceeded my expectation and it had a very good consistency. Worthwhile to try with the burpple 1 for 1, otherwise price may be a bit steep (although the price is the usual cafe price).

60 Deg Chicken Breast ($18.90) Love the chicken breast & homemade mashed potato combi! Chicken was tender, not dry at all and went so well with the potato. Interesting mix of hazelnut milk foam with it~ P/S: For BB, only 60 deg chicken breast, porky bowl and seafood aglio olio available to choose from the mains and only ice lemon tea and ginger lemonade available to choose from the drinks. Wish it could be extended to others as well... However, the interior of the cafe is very aesthetically pleasing and one can easily spend the whole day there reading a book or just chilling!

impressive cold brew I didn’t enjoy OMC’s espresso-based coffee the last time, as it was overwhelmed by milk. Went for the cold brew ($6) this time round - there isn’t much information of where the beans are from, but this glass packed a punch! It had a strong bold flavour, fruity without being too acidic. Wouldn’t hesitate to order this again!

weekday brunch The All-In Brekkie ($19) features an assortment of ingredients! I particularly enjoyed the scrambled eggs, which were fluffy and perfectly seasoned. The chorizo was good too, with hints of smoky spiciness! Otherwise, I felt that the portion didn’t really justify the price. It’s still great value, especially with burpple beyond’s weekday set!

All-in Brekkie🍳 📍One Man Coffee, Upper Thomson📍 💸All-in Brekkie : $9.50 (before burpple 1-1: $19) 💸Mocha: $6 ... Already dreading Monday again.. If only we could start everyday off with some brunch💆‍♀️💭One Man Coffee isn’t exactly a new cafe but we were excited to check them out and what’s more there’s burpple 1-1!!! 🥳The cafe space was really tight and crowded. We got the all-in brekkie and the food was generally okay and filling- though we weren’t really like it enough to pay the full price for this🙂 Their mocha was quite smooth but really thick and chocolately.

Ju's Prawn Pasta I can't get enough of this pasta! Amazingly delicious, it has a carbonara creamy texture that keeps you wanting to go for a second bite. The prawns are fresh and succulent. Perfect sauce that has a great garlic taste. Must try! 😋

Duck Confit ($22) Duck was very tender and the plum sauce went well with the gravy and mash potatoes! Skin was crispy and tasty.

Waffles With Spicy Chicken & Slaw ($22) Waffles with chicken was surprisingly a good combination! The spicy chicken tasted like hot sauce (good for those who like spicy flavours) and the slaw included apple which was refreshing! Pretty pricey but worth it under Burpple Beyond’s 1-for-1!

Baked Fish Omelette Baked Fish Omelette ($25) I really liked pickled red onions (sour) complemented well with parmesan cream and melted cheddar (salted and creamy). Usually creamy based dish made people to be hard for digestion. I didn't see sour dough bread can matched with omelette dish. Baked Fish (haddock and salmon) was quite fresh and soft after pan frying and baking.

Pancake Stack Pancake Stack ($18) I felt that size of pancake was a bit small compared to japan pancake shop. I didn't know green sauce was caramelised apple jam and it's so weird colour combination with pancake. I really like mixed fresh berries such as cranberry, blueberry, strawberry and grapes. I feel that lemon curd and macarons were quite sweet.

garlic snowing pizza + garlic fried rice my colleague has a garlic allergy. poor her because mad for garlic is 1000/10

For garlic fans!! (~$15/pax) I am a huge fan of garlic so this was a place I wanted to visit for a long time! We used burpple beyond for this and ordered 2 rice dishes. He had the Garlic Sizzling Rice and I opted for the Grilled Chicken and Mushroom Risotto. I love how tender the chicken was, and the garlic taste in the risotto was not too overpowering, but enough to remind you its there with every spoonful. The sizzling rice had fried garlic pieces sprinkled all over the top, it was a really nice touch. Overall, the garlic in these 2 dishes aren’t too overpowering, but it wouldn’t be ideal for first dates/people who don’t fancy garlic. We will definitely be back!

Mad For Garlic We had the sea bass pasta & lasagna, & both was pretty good! Pasta was al dente & flavourful, but the sea bass was a little too salty imo. & of course the main highlight would be their garlic- deep fried garlic, chunks of garlic. Its all over the pasta & it rly enhance the entire flavour 👌🏻

GREAT PLACE Did not expect the food to be so good as well! The truffle fries and calamari rings were absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend this place.

Good Selection Of Shooters A friend recommended this bar for a quick drink. Location is convenient and the shooters selection is even better at reasonable price. Definitely is a youngster hang out bar.

Fun Experience!! Great place for those who want to have a good time without spending a bomb. Shots are creative and well crafted with promotions on most weekends!

1 For 1 Scam We ordered the signature cocktails which were stated to be 1for1 on burpple. However, we were not informed that the drinks had to be identical. It's pretty shocking since the drinks posted from previous reviews were different. When we informed the waiter about this, he referred us to his manager who was even more dismissive and rude. I showed him one of the posts by a fellow burppler in late Sep 2019, and he said 'that's in September', walking off right after. If the drinks were well-made, undiluted and of greater volume, I wouldn't be posting this. But that, along with the poor attitude and service, really put us off. Never patronising this stall again, even if the drinks are free.

Great Drinks, Bad Service The drinks were pretty well done and very unique, and we really enjoyed them. However the service was a real disappointment - the staff was rude and dismissive, which really ruined a night with friends. She also told us that we could only claim 2 Burpple offers for 6pax, when the terms stated 3 offers were allowed. Unfortunately, it could have been a much nicer night, would not be returning again.

Jekyll & Hyde Cocktails Cocktails were pretty small but they were good!!! We tried Sesame Street ($20), Spice my monkey up ($22), Lady in Red ($20). Cosy and great place for date nights and catch up with friends ☺️✨

Eggs Royale Eggs Benedict with salmon, paired with Ice Lemon Tea/ Hojicha Latte. It is also a place suitable to get work done!

uUUyUMMMZ 18!! niNg! lasellacafella sem rating as last timE cox ordered same ting but dis time w drinGk honestly i think thAt aliciu’s meal p worth so mayb next time can trY d rice bowls instead of D brunch menus ~~ leecia 7.8/11 omG yeet didn’t know burpple had 1-1 here LMAOZ rice bowls here made cheaper with butpple and also near the mrt so conveniENT! ~~ we got d brunch muffin and the surf n turf which was p yumZ! xdxd good study spot!

Steak And Poached Egg Steak was cooked nicely, not difficult to chew and delicious. The muffin was very crunchy which made the dish better. Though the yolk was not runny anymore, the overall dish is still good.

Roast Chicken Salad & Mushroom Risotto Very strong flavours n very generous portions!!!! I was looking for something light and this was way too heavy.... Mushroom risotto was decent

Ribeye steak Pretty good and the price isn’t as steep, I have also ordered spinach as a side. Told the cafe that i can’t do medium for doneness and they seared it more for me .. good atmosphere and will definitely go back to try their coffee!

Avocado Toast & Hot Chocolate Avo toast was pretty okay, it came with feta cheese and cherry tomatoes so basically everything I loved in a slice. Bread was toasted just nice and went well with everything. The hot chocolate was too small a cup and too diluted imo, maybe because I love my chocolate drink thick!

Argentine Sirloin Steak I’ve been wanting to try Bochinche’s lunch set and their steak for really long, and the lunch set was pretty satisfactory overall. Somehow the steak fell below my expectations, mostly because our medium rare steak was still pretty chewy at some parts and not the most tender. Some parts were pretty unevenly cooked, with some slices being more well done than others. Side ore: I really enjoyed the hand cut potatoes at the side tho, and the chimichurri was delightful.

Panettone Bread And Butter Pudding This was nice! The bread and butter pudding itself was impressive, fluffy and perfectly soak-y, with some parts remaining crispy The eggnog custard wasn’t sweet, very nice with some bitter alcohol hints. Pistachio ice cream was very creamy but the pistachio was prominent too. Overall a very well executed dessert, really approve as a bread lover!

Wild Mushrooms And Ricotta Ravioli On their lunch set, the raviolis were plump and the filling was delicious. The ravioli skin was a bit thick but still al denge and still enjoyable. Overall dish was dominantly cheese flavored, but complemented well with the malbec reduction and crispy pangritatas. If you love cheese, you’ll love this!

Ice cream (~5/pax) Been coming to Hatter Street for years! The decor is really cute and its a nice place to chill with friends over good ice cream! I personally love their dark chocolate (premium flavour) and their cookies and cream, and I would come here just for these 2 flavours. Their earl grey is not bad, and I’m not a fan of lavender so i didn’t like that flavour. We used burpple beyond for the 1-for-1 double scoop ice cream and its so worth it!

Double Scoops Double Scoops ($7.50 + 50 cents extra for premium) I realised that Lavender White Chocolate had strong taste for Lavender and gradually slow covered over White Chocolate. Mint Chocolate Chip have strong taste for mint but the chocolate chip is a bit hard to break off. I felt that colour for ice cream was too heavy and don't put too much colouring inside. Overall, the customer service is quite fast and I didn't know what the service staff is trying to say by separating the ice cream in different cup. I think she saw another person in my group and she think we are sharing ice cream.
