Hot Chocolate ($5), Caramel ($6) The hot chocolate was good. The caramel latte could do with more caramel, as it tasted like a flat white, which is honestly fine as well as it tasted nice. Both drinks were pretty standard. We enjoyed our hot drinks in the comfort of the second floor of a cozy little cafe, overlooking the roads. We got this as part of the Pastry + Coffee deal - you can pick any drink from the Coffee section of the menu. As for the pastries, you can choose between carrot cake, brownie, or quiche. We paid a total of $13.20 for 2 pastries and 2 cups of coffee.

Seeded Sourdough Loaf ($10) Yeast Side bakes their own sourdough loaves - when we got there at about 11.30am, they were only left with the seeded ones. The sourdough was moist and had a nice balance of nutty and sour. It was really tasty and I could eat it on its own. The loaves were quite big but they don’t slice them for you. I wish they did, because not everyone has a bread knife at home, and cutting through the loaf is quite tough. It’s quite a good deal with Beyond 1-for-1, making one loaf $5 each - I would definitely get this again.

For 1-for-1 Pastry & Coffee Set (save ~$10) Just a stone's throw away from King Albert Park MRT, you'll find this alfresco bistro & bakery housed in KAP mall. Full of chill vibes and good bites, pop on by for a cuppa coffee, pastries and signature Sourdough Loaf ($9) freshly baked every monrning! Some of their crowd favourites include the Carrot Cake ($6), which was "pretty yummy, perfect if you prefer the less-sweet type of cakes with a stronger taste of spice. It was moist and light, not the dense kind, which was great for a tea snack." according to Burppler Audrey & Cady. Photo by Burppler Audrey & Cady

Double Scoop - Pistachio & Dark Chocolate 💸: $12 They have 3 types of cones - Original, Slightly Burnt and Burnt. You'll catch the smell of the cones you even before you enter the store! Both flavours were decent - the chocolate is slightly sweet even though it's dark chocolate but beware, it's really really rich!

Waffle plus 2 scoops $16 / 4* Lovely decor, great ice cream, easy to use burrple offer. Waffle and ice cream was huge, I enjoyed it a lot. Service is slow, so be patient. Dark Chocolate 80% is the best ice cream flavor, but it's not applicable for burrple offer. Should try once

For 1-for-1 Premium Gelato (Single Cup) (save ~$5) A new ice cream parlour has opened its doors along Sunset Way in Clementi! Find unique flavours and premium roasts for an afternoon of ice-cold gelatos and chill conversations. Other than their crowd favourite flavours such as Purple Yam and Pistachio, Burppler Xing Wei Chua enjoyed the Strawberry Basil Sorbet which "does come with evident tartness from the berries, yet with a distinct note of zippiness from the basil that strikes a good balance — very refreshing to have especially after a heavy meal". Psst, don't miss out on their fluffy waffles ($6) to go along with your gelatos! Photo by Burppler Xing Wei Chua

Superb Ice Cream Right In The CBD! This is a recently opened ice cream parlour in Lau Pa Sat, and I must say I'm really impressed by the quality of ice cream here. We got the Deep Dark Chocolate and Lychee Raspberry ($4.80 1 for 1 with #burpplebeyond) and both were extremely good. The chocolate was velvet smooth and was thick as well, and tasted like 60% cocoa chocolate! The Lychee Raspberry was a pleasant surprise, as it was super refreshing! Also, the scoop given is pretty huge as well. Definitely a great dessert option after a satay meal in Lau Pa Sat 😋

Milkshake Vanilla, Salted Burnt Caramel ($4.80 each) First and foremost - the scoops here are huuuuuuge. I could hardly finish one myself! As for the taste... it was quite mediocre for these flavours, but I’d give them another chance and probably try their best-sellers and signature flavours next time. Texture was good though. The Milkshake Vanilla was really sweet and didn’t really taste like a vanilla milkshake unfortunately. But it was so soft and fluffy! The texture was very interesting. The salted burnt caramel taste was quite subtle. It tasted like plain cream mostly, with a light salted caramel tinge. Overall - average, okay if you’re nearby and just want ice cream. The price, along with the Beyond 1-for-1 deal, is great for the amount of ice cream you get. I wouldn’t travel here specially to try it. Probably a mis-pick on my part for the flavours. If I’m nearby, I might give them another go but rethink my flavour decisions. There’s a small seating area in with air-con if you’re worried about the heat at Lau Pa Sat.

Delicious Ice Cream Hohoho our first time here. For me - lychee raspberry For her - milo cookie Refreshing taste. They have other interesting flavors. They make their own cones too. thankfully we were able to get seats. 😊 Total Damage : SGD 6.80 with the burpple voucher

Flat White Spent my Christmas Eve afternoon with a cup of coffee at this new spot at 111 Somerset; a space that is tucked away at the back of the mall that I did not even knew that it existed — located just beside the entry/exit to the mall where So Good Hong Kong Char Chaan Teng is located. Being predominantly a shop that caters to skaters retailing skateboard and related peripherals (a pretty apt location given it being beside the skate park at Somerset MRT Station), Halfpipe Skate Bar also serves as a small hangout (limited to two tables and a bar counter that seats five) which serves coffee and a rather wide variety of craft beers in the display chiller. The Flat White was actually surprisingly well-pulled — smooth, creamy with a medium body and a roasty and earthy flavour profile, which came pretty unexpected from a place where coffee seems more to be their side gig.

Caffeine Alchemy, Or Just Plain Wizardry? If y’all didn’t already know, @alchemist.sg has opened its newest outlet at Gotham City, a mere stone’s throw away from my sweatshop. To go with the gothic architecture of the building, the seating area of the café is also done up in the gothic style, while the counter & brewing area is in the more familiar brutalist style that Alchemist usually does. Not gonna lie, ever since being eternally spoiled by Australian coffees, I only really found one (now defunct) coffee joint that could even approach that high standard. However, Alchemist might be the first to achieve parity in quality with the fabled ‘strayan café cuppas. I got an iced mocha ($6.50) that was brewed using their proprietary bean blend called Dark Matter. This all Brazilian beauty is mildly acidic but intensely chocolatey, slightly nutty with a little sweet aftertaste. In other words, Alchemist’s mocha is probably the best damn mocha I’ve had in Singapore. ⠀ ⠀ It’s a beyond perfect pick me up, and I foresee myself regularly dumping a fair chunk of cash at these amazing caffeine alchemists in the future.

A Typical Mocha, Frutti Pebbles Had been following the social media accounts of Alchemist for quite a while and found out about their latest digs at The Mill — an industrial building hidden within Jalan Kilang just slightly off Jalan Bukit Merah opposite ABC Brickworks Food Centre with a distinct gothic style that is designed by the same folks behind Parkview Square; the “Gotham City” building in Bugis. Thought the Khong Guan Industrial Building outlet took the cake for me but their latest outpost at The Mill is another level of “wow” — tucked away at the second level of the building, the dark theme strays away from that of other earlier Alchemist stores which generally adopts a white, industrial style. The black walls, grand chandeliers, and brown leather sofas matched well with the general architecture of the building inside-out — especially liked the window seats which gives a sense of privacy and intimacy, being partitioned off from both sides. Gave their canned cold brews a try — something which I have had wanted to try for quite a while; between the two, “A Typical Mocha” would probably go well with the chocolate lovers with its more predictable, smooth and creamy, chocolatey notes that felt somewhat more of a chocolate beverage than a coffee-based drink, while the Fruitti Pebbles was an interesting white coffee with floral and fruity notes that was surprisingly profound. Must say I am awed by how Alchemist has come this far — whilst starting off as a takeaway kiosk at International Plaza, Alchemist has become more than just a spot for coffee with each new outlet seemingly carrying a unique theme; even more of a design marvel of its own. Congratulations to the folks behind Alchemist on their latest opening; can’t wait to see what else they have up on their sleeve next!

White Newly opened outlet, Alchemist (The Mill) is located within an old neighbourhood of Bukit Merah, in between industrial buildings. I reckon that's the direction they're going towards. The menu is simple - black, white, chocolate, filter, iced or hot. They serve 2 espresso beans options - the usual Dark Matter, Brazil & Colombia mix & Don Alfonso, a Costa Rico mix. The white with Dark Matter brings out the chocolate-y notes of the beans, with a caramel-like sweet ending notes, which makes it easy on the palate.

Paradise of all things fried burpple's deal comes with a generous spread of all kinds of meat: tonkatsu, ebi, fried oysters and chicken karaage 🐔🐖🍤🦪. First and foremost, the fried oysters are the bomb, we loved how crispy it is while keeping it naturally juicy and sweet. Also, you get to pick your meat for the tonkatsu too (there's the trusty pork loins, or you can change to fish, chicken) and we added on cheese Must say that the tonkatsu and fried fish are both consistently crispy, and coated well with a golden crust. Thumbs up to their rich miso soup as well

Tonkatsu with Daikon Oroshi & Ponzu Sauce Newly opened Onkei situated at Paya Lebar Square comes from the idea of giving blessings that has a meaning of grace, kindness and blessing when translated in Mandarin. What we had tried: 🍛Onkei Signature Katsu Set (Pork Loin 160g) - $21.90++ 🍛Cheese Tonkatsu Set (Pork Loin 120g) - $21.90++ 🍛Tonkatsu with Daikon Oroshi & Ponzu Sauce Set (Pork Loin 120g) - $21.90++ 🍛Assorted Fried Seafood Set (Oysters, Aji Fish & Ebi) - $22.90++ Sides: 🍤 Tempura Prawn 🍤 Prawn Cake 🍳 Tamago torch with Mentaiko All the sets come with a bowl of Japanese white rice/multigrain rice, Japanese pickles, crunchy shredded cabbage and Tonjiru soup. My catch here would be the Tonkatsu w Daikon Oroshi, the pork loin was nicely breaded and fried... doneness was satisfactorily loved w the daikon which gives a refreshing touch to finish... and soup being a side I was very much impressed by it... Tonjiru soup – Tonktsu broth simmered with Japanese pork, konnyaku, Japanese beancurd skin, white & red carrots for over 12 hours - I really enjoyed this soup that I have to request for a 2nd serving of it 🥰

For 1-for-1 Burpple Beyond Set (save ~$39.90) Opening their first outlet in Paya Lebar Square last month, hit up this casual eatery for all your tonkatsu cravings! For just $39.90++, the Burpple Beyond Set comes with their Ebi & Rosu Katsu sets, with a choice of Pork Loin/Fish/Chicken and served with a side of Tori Karaage (2pcs) and Fried Oysters (2pcs). Enjoy the tender and crispy katsu with a side of rice, pickles, soup & shredded vegetables for a hearty lunch!

Crab & Signature Scrambled Eggs On Toast $24 Yet another fine addition to the burgeoning cafe scene in East Coast, @thebrewingground is situated in the far corner of The Yards, a sprawling compound in a quiet residential street housing a pottery workshop, gym and dance studios amongst other things. It's a little out of the way but well worth the trip. Chilled out vibes in both the bright and airy interior and the outdoors seating area, though you'd probably want to sit inside in air-conditioned comfort because it can get pretty hot during the day. What's also HOT af is their signature scrambled eggs, done in the viral tornado omelette style and swirled to a dreamy creaminess. Heft comes in the form of a mountain of sauteed crab meat and ikura, which add a smoky sweetness and saltiness respectively to what could have been a texturally pleasing but plain affair. Taste: 4/5

Breakfast Burger $19 Breakfast Burger $19 Elevated McMuffin wannabes are increasingly making their appearances at cafes. This has to be the best version so far. A thicc, juicy pork sausage patty, literally buried under silky scrambled eggs and jammy caramelised onions and cheddar, embraced by the warm hug of toasty brioche buns slathered in a creamy ketchup-mayo concoction, was heaven to the eyes as well as the tastebuds. Taste: 5/5

Breakfast Burger Came across The Brewing Ground on social media the other, and decided to drop by during the past weekend — located in the tranquil surroundings of The Yard (the former location of Telok Kurau English School), the highlight of the cafe is the Kapok tree right at their backyard — a 40 year old tree with a prominent stature which is almost a centrepiece of the cafe when viewed from a certain point. The lush greenery within the cafe and the space being flooded with natural lighting streaming in from the windows on both sides makes this spot absolutely charming. Serving up different items throughout the day, patrons can get to order items such as granola, tartines and sandwiches for breakfast from opening to 4pm, or breakfast platters, brunch classics, mains and pasta which are available from 11am to 4pm. The Breakfast Burger is part of the “brunch” section of the menu — features Pork Sausage Patty, Silky Scrambled Eggs, Caramalised Onions, Cheese, Ketchup Mayo, Brioche Buns, Hash Browns and Mesclun Salad. A beautifully put-together burger featuring elements which seem to work well especially for a substantial brunch item, the portion is incredibly hearty — light and fluffy brioche buns come spread with the ketchup mayo for a lightly tangy and creamy touch; an attempt to bind the burger buns together with the elements within. There, the scrambled eggs are well-executed; silky, creamy and beautifully folded — carried a distinct egginess without being overly seasoned, and paired well with the juicy and tenderised pork sausage that is just savoury to the right degree for a wholesome touch. While some establishments uses sweet elements such as apple sauce to cut through the meatiness of the pork, caramalised onions is used here instead, lending its distinct sweetness to the pork sausage while being still slightly savoury with the cheese being melted over it. Even the hash browns do deserve a mention here — no doubt looking like they come off those generic packs available at any supermarket, but I like how they have done it just nice here without the hash browns feeling particularly greasy which deserves the mention. Must say that The Brewing Ground was somewhere I really enjoyed being at — soaking into its serenity, it felt like a spot that is hidden away from the urbanity. Being situated in a rather obscure spot in Telok Kurau, it may be a spot that takes a little while to be explored, but it was certainly well worth it — the ambience, the food, the coffee, the hospitality; somewhere that places an emphasis on their patrons where it’s all relaxing and positive vibes. Its needless to say that I will be back again — a cafe to wind down over the weekend over idyllic brunches with a book on one hand and a cup of coffee with the other; wishing the folks behind The Brewing Ground all the best in what has to come!

Brussels Sprouts And for our veggies, we got their Brussels Sprouts ($16). Utterly sinful tasting yet with a nett carbs amounting to 6g, the plate was loaded with sweet sprouts, sausage crumbs, diced burnt peppers, mint, and a pool of chorizo sabayon. The key element here is the vibrant sauce which was tantalizingly savoury and delivering an almost cheesy flavour that I really enjoyed. The meaty flavour of the crumbs also adding some heartiness to the greens.

Chicharrónes Joining the slew of restaurants offering up keto-friendly dishes here in Singapore, Persea’s low-carb menu features mostly Mediterranean flavours that I found to be pretty unique and crowd-pleasing. To start, we had the Chicharrónes ($6) which were seasoned with chilli lime salt. Light and airy, the puffed pork skins were not oily at all and a fun snack with the delicate savouriness of the salt.

Rosemary Basque Cheesecake Speaking of cake, if you are into cheese platters, save space for their Rosemary Basque Cheesecake ($16). Not to be confused with the cheesecakes we are used to; their variation is a savoury cheese platter presented in the familiar dessert form. Strong on the blue cheese, the cake also includes cream cheese, camembert and I detected a light whiff of rum. And like a cheese board, served alongside were some biscuits and blueberry compote to helps cut through the richness. Hence, proceed with caution for people that don’t really like blue cheese or those looking for some sweets.

Delicious Fluffy Pancakes Made a reservation beforehand to beat the queue but walk-ins were served very quickly as well on a weekend afternoon. The waiting time for the pancake was around 10 mins, which was reasonable as the paper indicated a waiting time of 30mins. The cream complemented the pancake and does not overpower the flavour. Wiped out in minutes ❤️ will say that this is more on the moist side compared to Gram pancakes, which can be dry without the syrup. Bill came out to be nearly $20 for the Kiseki pancake. A little pricey, but would say it’s a nice treat once in awhile ☺️

Famous Soufflé Pancakes from Japan Flipper’s soufflé pancakes are so fluffy and soft because they are made using Hinata eggs from Kanagawa prefecture and Kitahonami flour milled from Hokkaido wheat, all imported straight from Japan. https://hungryghost.sg/flippers-singapore/

Rose Strawberry Milk Such a pretty drink. It is milky and cold. The top layer is like a milk top foam and despite the creamy layers it is quite refreshing and you can taste the bits of strawberry.

Amazing Food And Service! Went to French fold on Sunday brunch - peak hour. Had to wait around an hour due to our group number of 7, but it was worth it! Had no.4 comte which consists of egg, sautéed mushrooms and organic ham. It was quite filling and tasted savoury and satisfactory. Due to the long wait, the servers actually gave us a dessert crepe on the house which we are really thankful for :-)

Eggs, Cheese and Mushrooms (#3) + Goat Cheese, Tomato Chutney and Red Pepper (#6) I love seeing more gluten free options popping up all over SG!! These buckwheat galettes were so tasty and crispy and go really well with their savoury toppings. I only wish you could also order their dessert crepes with the buckwheat batter too! Just to make the whole menu more gluten intolerant friendly.

Pretty Good Galettes I went to another galette shop recently and wanted to try French Fold to compare. Albeit, I have never been to France to try it there, but I quite liked both establishment's versions. The No.5 was a combination of comte cheese (my fave), chorizo and a runny yolk. The buckwheat galette itself was quite subtle in taste, but each mouthful of a mix of everything was very enjoyable. Service was great and just like Merci Marcel, I will definitely visit again.

Came Back For This 👍🏻Tried this Peach Basil Sorbet ($3.80) with Rosemary cone (+$1). Loved this combi. I think it goes well. Not too sweet though it seem more mango than peach but still nice! Will come back to try the rest of the flavours!

🤤 Crispy Fluffy Waffles & Ice Cream At Sunset way, do check out this cosy ice cream place. Loved the slighted chared waffles with a selection of chocolate or maple syrup.They are crispy and fluffy. Goes really well with the Honey Chrysanthemum with Cacao bit and Pistachio double scoop ice cream for $12. They also serve you water in these cute 🐻 bear shaped cups Will come back again to try the rest of the flavours.

Ice cream ice 🍨 ➖ Portion: ice cream was alright but not the tea ✅ Taste ➖ Price: because we order pot of tea which was filled with lotsa tea leaves, but unfortunately not refillable with hot water ✅ Ambience ➖ Service: due to unrefillable pot of tea

Great Service and Quality 👍 Took up the 30% off for premium buffet, the food served is so much more value worth than what we can find outside. Staff is patience in explaining every single details, and serving is fast Will definitely come back for this again.

Great Quality, Great Service! Made a reservation with a +1 on a Saturday evening and we were seated and attended to very quickly by the friendly staff. With their simple and straightforward order sheet, we got the (surprisingly sweet) tomato broth and their signature chicken collagen broth (must try)! Had 10 servings of premium Australian Wagyu along with an assortment of fried dishes, vegetables, staples, and desserts. Almost all of the food was of surprisingly high quality especially for a buffet-style restaurant! Service staff were very attentive and took the initiative to refill our drinks and broth, even without us having to ask. The only downside is that there are no dipping sauces provided here, which is unusual for Shabu Shabu buffets. Still, definitely worth a try!
