Showing places for "Newly Opened"

Even though the official opening is only happening in May this year, there is already a queuing crowd for it when we were there on a Saturday late afternoon. Soft-launched in early April, DOUGH is opened by the folks behind Glyph Supply Co. and Runes, and the café has a Korean-inspired interior with a self-service counter to pick up your own bakes. Perhaps the most popular bake from the café is the Strawberry Brioche ($5), a brioche bun with a crispy meringue top layer and strawberry custard filling. It can get a bit too surfeited towards the end as the creamy custard is a bit on the heavier side but something different about it is that there is a hint of basil in the mixture, which gives it a unique touch. ••••••••••••••••••• ✨ DOUGH 📍 30 Victoria Street, CHIJMES, Unit 01-30, Singapore 187996 🍴 [Self Funded]

Comfort Bakes @dough.coffee is a new concept by @glyphsupplyco which focus on comfort bakes and hearty food, but you’ll be sure to get a good coffee here. Be greeted by the “bakery” section, whereby you can pick up bakes such as Babka ($9), Smoked Duck Focaccia ($6), and Passionfruit Black Tea Cake ($8), to go with that speciality coffee after you’ve been allocated a seat. Or check out the main menu for something more substantial.

Spicy Kimchi & Tomato Pasta Despite being just in its soft launch phase, Dough Supply Co. has already gotten quite a fair bit of traction on social media the past weekend — the cafe being touted as one that is reminiscent of that of Cafe Onion in Korea. Being run by the same folks who have brought us Glyph Supply Co. at 111Somerset, Runes at Lau Pa Sat and now-defunct Noa which used to operate within Laut during afternoons, Dough Supply Co. may quite be their most daring venture — taking up a fairly huge unit just a few doors away from Carnivore, Dough Supply Co. does serve up mains, pasta and sides apart from the widely talked about Korean-inspired breads and cakes, all alongside specialty coffee, tea and fermented beverages. The Spicy Kimchi & Tomato Pasta costs a whopping $22 — something that one might consider giving a miss when deciding between the mains and pasta here; the meatier dishes such as the Wagyu Burger and the Chicken Thigh being priced at $26. Featuring elements such as House Tomato Salsa, House Kimchi, Mozzarella and Handmade Pasta, one may point out the slightly “cheap” buildup of the dish but the money is going all towards the homemade aspects of the item — a laborious process that only those who have the passion for food will appreciate. The handmade pasta here comes with quite a tactile bite; done al-dente, and coats that kimchi-infused tomato salsa adequately with its twirls — the sauce itself being reasonably spicy from the kimchi and tingles the taste buds for those who are less tolerant to moderate levels of spiciness, whilst being tangy but well-rounded from the slight sweetness of the tomato salsa that provides the finishing note. Seemingly in an attempt to replicate Cheese Ramyeun, the dish comes with a slice of processed cheese over the top; not the best aesthetic but there is something about Korean Gochujang going so well with the saltish notes of processed cheese — so ever comfortingly, and something that carries more complexity than one would expect from a dish like that. Dough Supply Co. pushes the boundaries of what Glyph Supply Co. and Runes has to offer for their patrons — an adventurous venture into serving up hot food and being a full service cafe; a difference from the being a coffee-centric establishment that they had come from. Whilst it was a shame that we did not get to try their bakes considering we snagged up the last cake of the day at 11:45am on a Sunday brunch service during our visit, we were still particularly impressed by the impeccable service and delicious mains that they have to offer; a relief considering the insane wait times and haphazard service we had encountered at several cafes over the same weekend. Looking forward to Dough Supply Co. being open in full force — perhaps that is the time when I would be able to give their widely-raved Korean breads and cakes a go!

Unassuming Yet Flavourful Comfort Food My family and I really enjoyed our dinner here. Service was fantastic and the food was amazing. The interior, service, and food all exceeded my expectations. The dishes looked unassuming initially, but we were pleasantly surprised by how flavourful they were. I can’t name a favourite because they were all really really delicious. We were recommended the Spicy La La (not pictured because I am only allowed one photo), and were told it wasn’t on the menu. Would highly recommend this to fans of enjoy spicy food!

Good Vibes, Great Ambience A cosy place to enjoy their Off Day Beer that’s fruity and light, perfect for the weekend!

Cosy Local restaurant Bar Tried the Oxtail soup and pork bee Hoon. Both were really tasty and smooth. Went well with the good selection of local craft beer on the menu. Would return to try the other items such as the steak and chill crab-prawns with mantou. Ambience was comfortable and fun. Nice place for some local comfort food or some drinks!

2 For The Price Of 1, But Is It Worth It? Thanks to Burpple Beyond, we order their Matcha Mascarpone & Mango Madness for just SGD6.80 in total. I will be really disappointed😞 if I’m paying the original price for each drink. Matcha Mascarpone - Very mild matcha taste but their mascarpone foam was nubbad Mango Madness - Badly blended with quite a few ice chunks, and taste like the supermarket mango pudding...eee

stroopwafels for dessert ✌🏻 🥡 ig | @hooyeats 🥡 🍪 𝘽𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙤𝙛𝙛 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙥𝙬𝙖𝙛𝙚𝙡 [$4] 🍵 𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙖 𝙊𝙧𝙚𝙤 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙥𝙬𝙖𝙛𝙚𝙡 [$4] — the stroopwafels were quite crumbly (less chewy than i expected) but nonetheless very good and quite worth the price! the matcha and milk sauces on top were also gooey and more fluid than i thought they would be too. will be back for the drinks!

For 1-for-1 Beverage (save ~$7) Check out this muslim-owned bubble tea shop that opened just recently along Arab Street for refreshing thirst-quenchers and waffles! Decked out with aesthetic pink facade, an eye-catching lightbox and outdoor bar sitting, sit down for a cup of their signature Ice Kacang BBT ($6.80) and fruity Berry Cranberry ($6.80) to seek respite from the sweltering heat in Haji Lane.

Thunderclap Roti Prata With Truffle, Eggs Mimosa (SGD $16) @ Qin Restaurant. This features the signature Indian flatbread, stretched, tossed, and smashed, then pan-fried till crisp flaky on the outside and doughy chewy on the inside, with bready sweet savoury flavour. . The prata is garnished with creamy black truffle paste and fluffy bits of egg mimosa (an egg that has been fully boiled, shelled, then crumbled into itself), which lends robust earthy eggy sweet savoury flavour. . Loved every bite of this, yum. . . . Qin Restaurant The Clan Hotel More details in profile & blog

Curry-Age (SGD $10) @ Qin Restaurant. This was amazing. The large rounds of chicken karaage are juicy and tender inside, crisp outside, with bold sweet savoury salty flavour. . Spiced with a house special blend of spices, including curry leaves, which contributes a bold layer of savoury spice notes to this appetizer. Yummy. . . .

Childhood Memories Textures Of Milo (SGD $18) @ Qin Restaurant. This is a fun, playful dessert that evokes nostalgia. . It revolves around milo, a malted chocolate powder, forming the soil, wafers, and dinosaurs, served in a dinosaur egg shaped bowl, along with condensed milk blended with fresh milk. . A surprise of popping candy is mixed in. This is aptly named, for it features crispy, crunchy, soft, popping, creamy textures throughout, with deep chocolatey milky sweet flavour. . I had great fun eating this tasty dessert. . . . Qin Restaurant The Clan Hotel More details in profile & blog

Well-marbled, Tender & Juicy Steaks Wonderful dining experience here. The menu was well thought out such that every dish ordered complemented each other and went well with the wines we ordered. Particularly enjoyed the Grilled ox tongue, Wagyu and Mac & Cheese. As expected, Fat Belly did not disappoint with their steaks - the Wagyu Zabuton and Rib cap were well-marbled, tender and juicy. Burnt blue cheese cake was surprisingly enjoyable as well despite my initial worry that it will be too pungent (it was not). To top it off, service was excellent. Shout out to Alfian for his attention to details and friendly disposition, really made us feel welcome at the restaurant.

Came for the Steak, Stayed For Everything Else Went in on the 14th for a dinner and it was one of my best dining experience so far. Fat Belly has everything - delicious food, helpful staff, and cozy ambience. Had a few different small plates - but my personal favourite has to be the Uni, Lardo, Caviar! A perfect blend of premium ingredients makes this a must-try for everyone. I can't emphasize enough how delicious this dish is. The Wagyu Zabuton and Wagyu Rib Cap is definitely one of the best I've ever tasted. Cooked to perfection and every bite is a flavour burst! If you're near the area, and looking to treat yourself - Fat Belly is the restaurant for you.

Amazing Dining Experience Had dinner here with some friends on a weeknight and was really impressed by the food, atmosphere and service. We got some starters to start (heh) and i must say, they really know what they are doing with their food. Definitely order the Uni, Lardo and Caviar toast - the flavours were complex yet seemed to be perfectly balanced. The MS6-7 Zabuton and MS8-9 Rib Cap were great too, really juicy and flavourful slices of meat. I’ve also seen many the reviews raving about the Mac and Cheese and I’m happy to say that it’s exactly as they said. I’m someone who usually doesn’t like Mac and Cheese but this was so, so, so good - decadent without being overly cloying. We also got the Eton Mess and the Burnt Blue Cheese Cake to end off our meal on a sweet note. For those who are more adventurous, I’ll recommend going for the cheesecake as the blue cheese added a different dimension to the cake (honestly not as overpowering as i thought it would be) and it turned out to be really good. All in all, a place i’ll recommend when you want a new yet amazing food experience!

Monster Waffle In line with their cute concept, the Monster Waffle ($10.90) was shaped into the store’s adorable Roji mascot. Eggy and slightly dense, the warm waffle disc had lovely crispy edges that matched well with their soft serve ice cream. Milky and smooth, the ice cream was pretty rich and not too icy. The waffles were also served with small dabs of homemade matcha cream and chocolate syrup.

Uji Matcha Monster Ice Cream Made for the ‘gram, Roji Monster’s selection of specialty shaved ice does score on the aesthetics with the cute gooey icing sugar eyes but perhaps a little too pricey for the portion. Worthy of a try, the Uji Matcha Monster Ice Cream ($12.90) was my favourite of the two with a good dose of earthy, bittersweetness. Though it melted a tad faster than the Black Sesame Monster Ice Cream, the lingering and well-rounded tea flavour of the Uji matcha was something I enjoyed.

Black Sesame Monster Ice Cream Packed with a pronounced black sesame flavour, the Black Sesame Monster Ice Cream ($12.90) was somewhat “sandy” in texture but the nuttiness was certainly welcomed. Robust and rich, the layered ice was not too sweet and overall features the strong earthy notes of grounded black sesame seeds - perfect for goma fans if you can get past the mouthfeel. Oh and each order of their monster ice cream comes with a choice of two complimentary toppings.

Assorted Cinnamon Rolls ($3.40 Onwards U.P.; 4 For $10 With Burpplebeyond) Trying my hand at baking cinnamon buns helps me better appreciate the effort that goes into these; i.e a significant time is spent on proofing the bread base. So I was very happy to find rroolll on Burpplebeyond and could not miss it out when we came to Jewel over the weekends. The cinnamon rolls at rrooll comes in various flavours both savoury and sweet, of which all 4 I chose were from the latter category. With a cute card detailing guidelines to reheat the rolls and it’s 2 days room temperature shelf life; I was convinced the the bread had minimal preservatives and were freshly baked daily. You don’t get messy overflow fillings with these buns but these were great tea time treats nonetheless.

For 4 for $10 (save ~$5) With their first outlet opening in Jewel Changi, look no further than this specialty store for cinnamon rolls of all flavours! Whether it's savoury or sweet, choose any 4 from their old but gold Classic Cinammon ($3.40), chocolatey and nutty Hazelnut Rocher ($3.40), Garlic Onion Cheese ($3.40) or it's sugary counterpart Sweet Cheese ($3.10). Other flavours include Hawaiian ($3.90), Japanese Curry ($3.90), Cocoa Orange ($3.40) and Cinammon Apple ($3.40).

Rolls, 4 For $13 We got the Sweet Cheese, Cinnamon Classic, Japanese Curry, as well as the Cocoa Orange. Pastry texture was a little more firm, heavy, bread-like, and less airy. They were all not too bad tasting but I very much preferred the sweet, classic ones like the Cinnamon flavour. The savoury ones like the Japanese Curry felt like we were eating Curry bread from bakeries like bread talk, which honestly is fine because I do like those breads but perhaps not worth the price. Overall, not too bad, but quite expensive. Service was really good though, staff were very friendly. We visited on a Saturday morning and there wasn’t any queue.

Instagram Worthy Outdoor Both the steak and pasta were nice. Went during dinner and was seated indoor. Pretty noisy. If the weather is good, Outdoor would be a better choice as it has beautiful deco and plants.

Iced Americano ($5) Decent cup of americano that’s smooth enough and moderately strong. Prices are more reasonable than some of the neighbouring cafes.

pasta/upper thomson The salmon was done really nicely, crispy skin and tender flaky flesh. The fettuccini was done well but otherwise nothing quite special for me.

coffee/upper thomson A new kid on the block, just a few doors from Habitat. Nice small-ish place to hang as a group (there is a big round table rather secluded) or enjoy your time by yourself. The flat white is almost-full-bodied and moderately strong.

Equate Coffee 13 Apr’21, Tue🌤 📍Equate Coffee - Solid Gold (House Blend) Fully Washed Chocolate/ Nuts/ Caramel Running out of coffee beans at home and decided to give Equate Coffee’s a try, for a change~ Pretty nice I would say, for 250g of whole beans at $14, quite worth it eh! Damage: $14

Equate Coffee 13 Apr’21, Tue🌤 📍Equate Coffee - White (Tall)☕️ Who say cannot go cafe on a weekday? Pop by to grab a cup of coffee during lunch hour... Heavy-bodied, creamy foam, caramel nutty finish, latte art even for to-go, nice! Damage: $5.50

Iced Chocolate They have a very attracting entrance as you walk in from outside, with a very minimalist and industrial interior design. Although most people come here for their coffee, but they also offered some non-coffee like this iced chocolate. Pretty creamy with some bitter taste of the chocolate.

Tom yum gai A fusion of western and thai flavours. Definitely gives a kick to the tender chicken leg. I actually would prefer if the mash potatoes were sweet potato instead.

Nachos Pulled Pork This nacho loaded with pulled pork was a great appetiser. It took some great control not to order a 2nd portion before the mains came.

Dirty ($5.50) Double espresso with chilled milk - that's what dirty is! & I guess the name stems from the muddy look it comes with. This caffeinated drink does stand out with a name, but taste wise, probably just a stronger coffee option. It's served as it is, without ice, which then warms up quite quickly as it sits at room temp, making it a lil difficult to drink. Nonetheless, it's definitely enjoyable with its double shot!

Taking over the space previously occupied by Founder Bak Kut Teh, it is now replaced with The Hainan Story and it will be operating around the clock, providing diners with a selection of dishes at any time of the day and night. With various concepts housed in this 24-hour coffee house, we tried several of their items such as the Mama Wee’s Hainanese Curry Chicken Drumstick Set ($7.80) from Newspaper Curry Rice, Gula Melaka Kaya & Butter Hainanese Toast ($1.80 ala carte, $4.80 set with soft boiled egg, kopi/teh) from The Hainan Story Coffee & Toast stall and a variety of British Hainanese Swiss Rolls from The Hainan Story Bakery. The curry chicken drumstick rice is something that is not to be missed as this recipe has been passed down the generations and you can truly savor the aromatics from the curry rempah and the lemak-ness from the curry that goes perfectly with the chicken and rice. Another point I would like to highlight is how well the rice is being cooked as you can literally see the steamed grains, without any lumpy or mushy rice that you might encounter at other places. For each curry rice set, it comes with a choice of a homemade vegetable and egg dish. Next in the agenda is the gula melaka kaya & butter toast which totally wowed us for its aroma and subtle sweetness from the brown sugar. Our favourite place to get such as a toast is from YY Kafei Dian and this rendition from The Hainan Story will surely put up a good fight. The generous slab of melting butter on top of the toasted bread with the gula melaka kaya will surely lift your spirits from the first bite. Moving on to desserts, and possibly the most crowded stall with a separate queue just for takeaways as well, are the swiss rolls (gifted), made by the recipes of Chef Pang Kok Keong, previously of famed patisserie Antoinette. With a total of five different flavours with prices ranging from $3.80 to $6.80 per slice, I will recommend the Premium Old Tree MSW Durian Roll and Hainanese Coconut Pandan Roll to end your meal on a high note. ••••••••••••••••••• ✨ The Hainan Story 📍 500 Jalan Sultan, Hotel Boss, Unit 01-09, Singapore 199020 🍴 [Self Funded]

Claypot Pork Belly With White Kway Chup Set ($13.80) Opening their latest outlet, The Hainan Story Chapter One runs 24/7 & is serving up a huge menu!! One of the items unique to this outlet is this claypot pork belly with white kway chup set! The pork belly is braised for hours, resulting is a melt-in-your-mouth fatty layer and soft to bite meat in a flavourful dark sauce. The white Kway Chup is slightly different as the broth is made of chicken & pork broth, giving you a milky consistency (kinda like collagen soup) but without the jelak-ness & of a lighter palate!
