Korean Hotpot Lunch Buffet ($14.90++/adult) Went for the weekday lunch for the Hotpot Buffet, opting for the "90Mins The Best" sauce, made with a combination of Home made sauce, gungjung sauce, and volcano sauce. With this sauce, expect a tinge of sweetness and spiciness in a slightly thick textured broth. Expect free flow tteobokki, ramyeon, a wide spread of ingredients — chicken, pork collar,pork belly, cheese tofu, chicken sausage, luncheon meat, and the commonplace fare one can often find in other hotpot buffets as well. On the side, expect ready made dishes including spring rolls (don't be cheated by its seaweed chicken facade), vegetable gyoza, and pretty good and crispy chicken wings. Quintessential eomuk at a hotpot buffet was also thick and huge, tasting even better when dipped into the hotpot sauce. I thought the spread here for the price was pretty amazing and worth it, especially with lunchtime pricing. With every meal, you get free flow drinks. Unfortunately, I did not pace myself well enough and completely missed out on the free fried rice at the end. However, I thought it was for the better as food wastage costs the usual $5 with every 100g. Available for addition includes items like corn dogs which I was too full to order, ice cream, beef shabu (for people who want more options other than chicken/pork) and a cheese ring to dip your tteobokki and ingredients on the side. While it was my first time at a Korean Hotpot Buffet, I learnt a lot about pacing myself to better enjoy the other ingredients and fried rice I missed out, and I do see myself coming back again to try them again next time. Personally, the thicker paste-like broth would not be my usual go-to as compared to chinese hotpot where the soup is lighter and more enjoyable to drink. But I do think its an alternative experience that I forsee myself craving for occassionally. With that, I am glad that 90 Mins is an affordable option which I will return to get my korean buffet fix. However, do note that it gets crowded and service really isn't the best. Staff are at best flippant and seemingly constantly flustered. The staff picking the food doesn't really take into consideration the quantity you ask for — usually resulting in more than less, affecting your ability to eat what you want later. So do make sure you request for the amount you ~really~ want. Not the friendliest faces around here, but well, they do get busy and they are just trying to do their job. So do manage expectations with respect to service! Rate:🌟🌟🌟

tteokbokki hotpot buffet why do i always forget that i don't like tteokbokki that much? in kdramas they always look so freakin good?! anyway the cheese tteokbokki is good but the rest will just fill you up like no tomorrow. soup (got the best? or smth) is salty. meat and enoki were our favourite parts! not bad overall & good price with burpple but gotta make wise choices yea

kimchi fried rice at the end of your meal they’ll try this for you for free!! make sure to finish everything in your pot first or the lady will be grumpy fr. was pretty good! lots of spam. u HAVE to remember to leave space for this and not overload on the buffet. just leave a tad bit stomach room and you’re good.

ENGLISH CLAM CHOWDER Thick, flavorful & creamy chowder with pieces of potatoes & clam; tad too creamy..

GAMBAS AL AJILLO 8 pieces of small, fresh & crunchy prawn swimming in garlic infused olive oil & paprika, not spicy; with garlic slices & dried chilli inside; toast at the side is lightly grilled, soft & fluffy, good for dipping in the olive oil..

PRIME RIBEYE Big piece of steak well-cooked to medium rare; meat is lightly salted, tender & succulent with strong smoky taste; no beefy stench; with fresh crunchy greens & grilled potato..

Matcha Latte ($6.50) Matcha Latte ($6.50 iced) Slight grassy, seaweed notes in their Matcha, and I liked that the sweetness balance was good - wasn't too sweet, and you also get the bitterness from the Matcha Powder. Definitely enjoyed it! Definitely would still visit for their other flavours, and this new outlet has 2 counter seats so do go early if you want to get the seats!

Creme Brulee Cookie ($6.50) Creme Brulee Cookie Loved the custard flavour from the Creme Brule "pudding", altho a bit sweet, but I still really enjoyed it! There's also gooey choc within after heating up, would definitely not mind even more Creme Brule 🤤.

Speculoos Brownie ($6.50) Speculoos Brownie The Dark Choc flavour overpowered the Speculoos here - Speculoos isn't really strong unless you eat it on its own. Dark Chocolate was pretty rich tho, so hardcore Choc lovers would enjoy.

Hazelnut Cake I also had Leckerbaer’s Hazelnut Cake ($7.50) which was a real nutty number. Baked with lots of ground hazelnut, the spongey base was crowned with thick swirls of chocolate mousse, crushed hazelnut, and halved hazelnuts. A tad dry in my opinion, the cake was denser than I expected. But flavour-wise, it was pretty standard and not too sweet.

Dark Chocolate Tart Skipping their signature Smäkagers (dainty Danish butter cookies), I was looking forward to having Leckerbaer’s Dark Chocolate Tart ($8.50) and I am happy to report that it didn’t disappoint. Featuring a crisp chocolate tart shell filled with tangy cherry curd and brownie, the decadent treat is really one for the chocolate fans. The swirl of dark chocolate hazelnut namelaka (translating to “smooth” or “creamy”) piped atop was rich, delicately nutty, and bittersweet. And balancing that darkness from the ganache was the hidden layer of cherry which offered a pleasant bright tartness, acidity as well as moisture. There was also a myriad of textures, with the firm-crumbly shell, dense brownie, slightly chunky fruit curd, and bits of hazelnut and caramel pearls studded atop.

Leckerbaer Keong Saik,the new flagship is offering småkagers (Danish cookies),  small bakes and open- faced sourdough sandwiches. Feature : 💕Smoked Salmon & Onsen Egg (Flagship Exclusive) Crisp sourdough sandwich served with smoked Norwegian salmon, crunchy zucchini, pickled onions and peppery mizuna leaves on a cream cheese. Topped with an onsen egg. 💰$21 💕Crab & Avocado Salsa (Flagship Exclusive) I enjoyed this the most, crisp sourdough toast with refreshing creamy avocado salsa and generous Jonah crab meat , with a hint of spice and citrus on it. 💰$20 Beside these two, there are 3 more options for diners to choose for the open faced sourdough sandwich. For this festive season, @leckerbaer.sg also offer a Christmas set. consists of 2 small bakes, 4 smakagers and two individual pots of tea. 💰$34 📍Leckerbaer. 14 Keong saik td.

A Bit One Dimensionally Sweet This creative egg tart store @mil.eggtart started out as a home business but expanded to a quiet corner in Havelock square (near Chinatown). It specialises in artisan Portuguese egg tarts -- that means imaginative flavours encased in a flaky crust, rather than the crumbly crust that Singaporeans are used to. 3 egg tarts ($10.30) 🍮 Earl grey black tea 🧋 Coffee ☕ Ham & mushroom 🍖 Yam & purple potato 🍠 Lychee champagne 🍒 I didn't get to try all of these flavours but the ones I tried were sort of one-dimensionally sweet. With all the unique flavours they promised, I thought the tarts could have more depth to them. What came through, though, was the incredibly flaky crust which is what I look out for in an egg tart!

Assorted Egg Tarts There is quite a fair bit of hype over Mother-in-Law Egg Tart — they had started off as a home-baker during the Circuit Break period, and now operates a kiosk within the basement of Havelock II retailing their egg tarts that comes in several flavours. Not all of the flavours listed were available when we passed by the kiosk around noon on a weekday afternoon; we found ourselves going for the flavours below: - Signature (Original); - 256 Crispy Layers Coffee; - Refreshing Mango; and - Earl Grey Black Tea Couldn’t do without trying the Signature (Original) since it is always best to try the egg tarts in the most original form — we took a while to get from the kiosk to settle somewhere to enjoy the egg tarts; probably the reason why the pastry got a little stiffer than what we expected by the time we enjoyed them, though still maintaining its crispness. We could imagine how great these were when they are hot off the oven though; warm and crisp, with distinct layering in the pastry that isn’t too greasy nor buttery — all that whilst holding the suitably sweet and smooth egg curd within pretty well. Of the flavoured egg tarts, our favourite was the Earl Grey Black Tea — garnished with a maple leaf over the top, it comes with a distinct hint of the said tea but also comes with a surprise, chewy brown sugar “mochi” layer within similar to that of boba in bubble tea. The Refreshing Mango is yet another one we liked; comes with mango popping balls that provided a burst of refreshing sweetness that was particularly alluring while the 256 Crispy Layers Coffee would do well with caffeine-addicts with its strong, punchy notes of coffee that very much dominates the entire tart. Being a hole-in-the-wall sort of establishment, Mother-in-Law Egg Tart is no doubt an earnest startup that felt like as though it grew from being a pastime into a small business. While the original egg tarts are scrumptious, their effort in creating flavours unique to their brand is worth commending — shows passion in the craft and their desire to serve the very best to their patrons. A spot that egg tart lovers should certainly give a try!

For 1-for-1 3 Eggtarts (save ~$15) Tucked away in the basement of Havelock 2, this bakery dishes up fusion Portugese tarts made fresh daily by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law duo! Choose from an assortment of 8 savoury and sweet flavours, ranging from Signature Egg Tart (Original) ($4), Brown Sugar Boba ($6.60) to Savoury Ham & Mushroom ($7) and Lychee Champagne ($6.60). Don't miss out on their top selling flavour — Earl Grey Black Tea ($6.60) and Yam & Purple Potato ($6.60) topped with gingko nuts.

Hot Pot Buffet Good quality meat and tomyum soup! This restaurants serves Hotpot + BBQ buffet. Note that you cannot have BBQ OR hotpot, it must be both. Even with Burpple 1-1 deals, we still needed to top up $ for two soup base (can’t be one). So the total cost was actually about $56 for two pax, which is still a fairly decent deal given their food quality!

Earl Grey Dacquoise (Foreground), abseil (Background) Tanjong Pagar has been quite the enclave for new cafe openings of the late, with cafes such as COTTA, Delicatessen, Alice Boulangerie etc. that had recently opened their doors here — abseil is one of the latest ones that had moved into the neighbourhood within Eon Shenton; the same building also houses Double Shot Coffee just a few units away from abseil. Focusing mostly on coffee offerings, the vibes at abseil reminds us of Platform. at Telok Ayer Street with its minimalist and clean decor meant to replicate that of a living room with curtains, floor lamps and some flora in corners of the space. Patrons can get to choose between espresso-based coffee, as well as a range of filter coffee brewed using beans from various origins — non-coffee drinkers can also choose between the few tea options that they have to offer, and patrons can also opt for a Dacquoise to complete the experience. Had the abseil — the signature beverage here that actually comprises of espresso, osmose water and cream; the beverage comes served in a format similar to that of a macchiato with the cream atop. Served also with a straw, we were recommended to first take a sip of the cream, then use the straw to have the coffee beneath before mixing it up for the complete experience. Whilst the cream is smooth and carried a sweetness typical of that to macchiato-esque beverages served in bubble tea shops, the coffee comes with a medium body and a fruity flavour profile — personally would have preferred to have the beverage as-is, taking a sip of the cream and the coffee as and when we fancy rather than mixing it up as incorporating the cream into the coffee didn’t really make much of a difference except to dilute the cream, which quite defeated the purpose for us. We also paired the abseil with the Earl Grey Dacquoise — the nut meringue sandwich came light and crumbly with a thick layer of Earl Grey cream that is spiked with orange peels for a zesty touch. The folks behind the counter shared that it was an apt pairing with the coffee to create this Yuan Yang-esque feel where coffee meets tea; something which we cannot agree more with. Perhaps abseil might be stronger with their filter Coffee selection; that is something which we can only comment on when we try it the next time we come around here. But that being said; the relaxing environment and the lo-fi beats — it is undoubtedly that zen spot that soothes the soul, and that sort of spot I would look forward to just sink into to enjoy some vibes to take a slower pace whilst in the bustling Central Business District of Singapore.

Spiced Salmon The Spiced Salmon came with mashed potatoes, salmon roe, arugula and lemon tobiko cream sauce which was quite unique. Portions are quite generous and service is good too! Will be back to try the other items in the future 😋

Spaghetti Pork Stew Stock With Japanese Char Siew Belly There are so many new food places at @citygate.sg lately and they look good! We went to @evanskitch and had a set for 2 at $55 with @burpple beyond which comes with 2 mains and 2 drinks 🤗 We had the Spaghetti Pork Stew Stock with Japanese Char Siew Pork Belly which was very flavourful and the meat was charred enough too.

For Set For 2 (save ~$26) With a passion for offering healthy foods that are great tasting and unique, you'll find Chef Evan cooking up a storm in this casual eatery in City Gate! With the $55 Set for 2, you'll get a choice of 2 mains and 2 beverages which we'd highly recommend the Chili Soft Shell Crab Spaghetti ($25) for house-made chili egg sauce and fresh crab meat, served with a side of crispy fried mantou, and their Authentic Teriyaki Burger ($22), which comes with a choice of chicken or fish for your patty. On beverages, take your pick from their selection of coffee, non-coffee artisanal teas and beverages.

2280 Burger (Single) Pretty stoked to have heard that 2280 Burger had recently opened their doors at 213 Henderson Road; the building is just located a short distance away from Bukit Merah Bus Interchange, and is opened by the same folks behind Burger Labo at Malan Road within Gillman Baracks — also the same folks that had brought us The Naked Finn. Service is pretty much self-service here, with burgers being made to order; order through the self-order kiosk and collect the order at the window once your order number has been called. Currently there is only the 2280 Burger available on the menu, with a choice of a single or double patty variant whilst the only sides here are the standard fries. Folks can opt for house-brewed tea, milkshakes churned using ice-creams from Apiary, while specialty coffee is brewed using beans roasted by Tiong Hoe Specialty Coffee. Opting for the single patty variant of the 2280 Burger, the 2280 Burger may look like a very basic cheeseburger, but it does its job especially well — beef patty, sliced cheese, pickled onions all sandwiches in between the two buns; really liked how well the patty is being executed here. The beef patty may not be the same as what Burger Labo offers in terms of size, but the 100gm patty is just the right size for those who aren’t looking to get overly stuffed here. It’s beautifully brined and marinated; the texture being more on the lean side but still provide a good bite — all savoury, chunky and slightly crusted from the grilling process. The melted cheese atop seals the deal, and the pickled onions seems to have been mixed with bits of pickles for that tangy, refreshing crunch that cuts through the meat, while the buns are sufficiently light and fluffy. A very well put-together cheeseburger that ranks high up in the charts for me. Burger Labo has been known for their stellar burgers which are of a gourmet nature — the burgers there featuring fancier composition and elements, but 2280 Burger is an establishment that seems to be catered towards the masses; more of a fuss-free spot that makes for artisanal offering pitched against the upmarket fast food options that had made their entry into the F&B scene in recent years. Hoping that they are able to add on more variation of meats for their burgers soon — perhaps a chicken, pork, or fish option that would cater to non-beef eaters so that more can get to enjoy their stellar creations in time to come!

Newly Open By The Team Behind BurgerLabo And Naked Finn. Located in Henderson Industrial Park at Blk 213, #01-10, they offer a compact menu at the moment consisting of beef burgers (choose between single or double patties dressed in the default combo of cheese, housemade sauce and pickled onions unless you opt out), really crispy fries, and for drinks - it’s milkshake supplied by @apiary.sg, coffee from @tionghoespecialtycoffee, house-brewed iced teas and beer. The meat for 2280 Burger’s patties is ground twice, retaining a coarseness for extra bite. Chef @markerpenn of @nakedfinn created the garum to season it, so it’s really umami. We tried both versions of the burger and I’d recommend going for the single if you want something balanced and the double if you’re a hard-core appreciator of meat like me 😁 (Manager Widjaya had kindly acquiesced to our request of adding a fried egg but that was only because they happened to have a few on hand). Prices are lower here than at @burgerlabo, so yup, this is undeniably good value quality burgers we are talking about.
