Have You Tried Grape Oolong Tea The first thing u smell when u step in is the grape oolong smell which is the drink I ordered !:) it’s recommended on the menu and truly awesome drink! I love it :)

For 1-for-1 Beverage (save~$6.80) Find some respite from the heat in this calming, minimalist tea bar on Tan Quee Lan Street. The teas are freshly "pulled" using an espresso machine. Have the incredibly refreshing Grape Oolong Tea ($6.60) and the complex Grapefruit Genmaicha that's pleasingly bitter and very fragrant. Alternatively, follow Burppler Dex Neo's lead and opt for the Pear High Mountain Oolong ($6.30) that's sweet and fruity. Photo by Burppler Jonathan Lim

Grape Oolong Tea ($6.60) Checked out this new tea cafe located at Tan Quee Lan Street (beside Kin Moo) last week, and was impressed with the minimalistic interior the moment I stepped in. What’s interesting is that all their teas are brewed to order using an espresso machine! Ordered the recommended Grape Oolong, and i really liked it! The taste was really refreshing, with the sweetness from grape juice, tartness from pressed grape skins paired with a highly floral Oolong tea all forming a perfect balance! They are also available on Burpple Beyond too, which means more reason for me to return to try their other teas!

Roast Pork Noodle ($18++) Essentially kolo mee with elevated ingredients- Japanese anchovies, eggless kolo noodle, roast pork, mushroom, poached egg. Chilli could have been spicier, but was sufficiently fragrant. The noodle was springy and roast pork flavourful. Nothing particularly stood out though and the price tag certainly doesn't help.

Smokey Lamb Cutlets ($29++) The Mildura lamb does make a difference here— tender with barely any gamey taste. And the wood-fire just makes it even better, giving the smokey and charred edges that are addictive. This is easily my favourite dish of the day with the refreshing couscous salad, housemate feta and crispy kale. The balanced contrast of texture and flavours are perfect here.

Smoked Salmon & Cucumber Cagel ($18++ ??) Using ciabatta instead of the usual bagel buns provides a more chewy texture to the dish. Salmon could have been “smokier” and perhaps more crunchy textures (apart from the cucumber) will help to make the dish more interesting.

Curry Mussels and Fries ($36++). Last evening I visited this new restaurant along Duxton, which is serving up good mussels at very affordable prices. These aren't the usual Australian mussels that we are so used to having, these are really good seasonal Bouchot mussels from France and across Continental Europe. 🔸 BTM Mussels is inspired by owner Olivier Bendel’s restaurants at the Léon de Bruxelles group in France, where he has developed 250 recipes for mussels. At Duxton, only seven of the most popular flavours are available at one time. But they're planning to rotate the flavours, so progressively they'll be serving more of the 250 recipes they've developed. 🔸 One of the seven flavours available at the moment is Red Curry. While it has some cream in it, this flavour also included white wine and butter in its mix, and some parsley and onions. It was served with crisp golden French fries, which will also come with any mussels ordered here. 🔸 But there were some other flavours that I like more than this curry mussels. I'll share it with you next time, or you can DM me if you're going soon, and I'll tell you what to order. 🔸 [Tasting] #btmmussels #sgfood #iweeklyfood #whati8today #eatoutsg #sgfoodporn #foodpornsg #sgigfoodies #singaporeinsiders #sgeats #foodsg #singaporefood #burpple #hungrygowhere #instafood_sg #exploresingapore #foodiesg #singaporeinsiders #burpplesg #sgbakery #foodstyling #seafood #jiaklocal #pastry #frenchmussels #sgbrunch #bluemussels #brunchsg #breakfastsg

For 500g Mussels & Fries (save~$35) Get your hands dirty and your bellies filled at this spot on Duxton Hill. You're here for the small but incredibly sweet French Bouchot Mussels ($36 for 500 grams). Have them done Marinieres-style — white wine with butter, parsley and onion. Otherwise, go for the Thailandaises, a satisfyingly spicy rendition with chilli, Kaffir lime leaf, lemongrass, white wine and coconut milk. Photo by Burppler Victoria Hii

Here's where you get your mussels fix - BTM Mussels & Bar. ⁠ There are a few variations to try, but if you're starting out, do try the classic version of white wine, fresh cream, bacon and mushrooms. ⁠ At the end of the meal, dump the fries in to soak up the sauce, and it's another dish!⁠

I would eat this every day if I could I loved their Off The Bone on my first visit, but when the big boss said to try the Salami & Potatoes which is his new favourite...I did, and it’s now my new favourite too. I’m going to skip on describing the texture of the galette cause I’ve raved about it so much I don’t wanna bore you, so onto the fillings. I loved how balanced and earthy this combination was: you’ve got the soft and naturally sweet roasted potatoes, stuffed with brie and a perfectly oozy egg, then topped with slices of crispy, toasted salami carefully folded in a rosette 🥰 It’s great cause the salami + brie combo’s definitely not as salty as the ham + gruyere + cheddar one — not that the latter’s too salty it’s still super delish — so the earthiness of those roasted potatoes really get a chance to shine. And of course we all know how well rich runny yolks go with potatoes 😉

So simple, so elegant, so so good. The thing I really love about Gather, is how they offer simple and fuss-free products, choosing to not over-complicate things and, instead, pay the utmost attention to the little details and quality. You see this literally in every corner of their store: from the interior design, dinnerware, the goods they carry; to the personable service, impeccable coffee and food. . Take their Burnt Caramel crêpe: it’s classic combination of sweet and salty, caramel and butter (no fucking nutella thank god), really simple stuff; but what sets them apart is the quality of the produce and flavours. They use a sparing but sufficient knob of Bordier butter (ie the best butter, quoting Google here it’s not just my opinion), and drizzles just the right amount of burnt caramel for that touch of nutty, slightly bitter sweet element. Every ingredient is perfectly balanced and has a role to play in this dish. It’s just, so elegant.

New Crepe Place To Go To-Gather With Friends Burnt Caramel crêpe which comes with burnt caramel, and Bordier butter. The crêpe itself was delightfully soft, chewy, and slightly eggy. Read more: https://www.misstamchiak.com/gather-crepe-cafe/

Salmon Soba Bowl Salmon soba bowl ($18+) The mix of the bowl was simply delectable! Salmon was well cooked and you can add the sourish yoghurt to pair. However, even on its own, it tastes good. Didnt have any trouble polishing off the entire bowl.

Strawberry Maple Pancake ($16.50) Love their Butterscotch Banana Pancake but I can’t say the same for the Strawberry Maple Pancake. The thick pancake was generously topped with fresh strawberries and strawberry compote, accompanied with maple syrup and butter. Strawberries helps balance the sweetness but as it was kinda dense, we couldn’t quite finish it.

I genuinely didn’t think I’d enjoy this Pork and Pear Tartine ($19.50) as much as I did. The sweet, mellow, soft roasted pears worked so well with the generous amount of crispy bacon and creamy ricotta, and when you put all that yumminess on a really good slice of bread — serious toast heaven. What I found to be an especially great touch, was the fried sage leaves liberally sprinkled over. It adds such a surprisingly earthy, savoury, and wonderfully herbaceous note to the toast, completely elevating it imho. What I didn’t really like though, was how sweet the caramelised onions were. They would’ve been fine in dishes without other sweet elements, but here, together with the roasted pears, it made the entire dish a little too sweet for me.

Peanut Butter Jelly Donut Look at that fluffy brioche donut! Could not resist snagging one before my yoga class today and man, it did not disappoint! The right balance of nutty and fruity! The slightly sour raspberry jam went amazingly well with the lightly sweetened peanut butter glaze (felt like I was having actual peanut butter than a glaze really), add the crunch of the peanuts and you have heaven in a donut! Certainly a treat I'd have again!

Korio is a doughnut and sandwich takeaway shop located in the CBD founded by a husband and wife team Myron and Shaz. Having had some of the best doughnuts in New York, the couple set out to recreate something similar for Singaporeans. They also wanted to serve up sandwiches on the menu to provide convenient and hearty lunch options for busy workers in the CBD. Some of their signature items include the Peanut Butter & Jelly Doughnut ($4.50) containing runchy peanuts folded into a peanut butter glaze, topped with house made raspberry jam; and White Chocolate & Coconut Doughnut with Hazelnuts ($4.50) of toasted coconut flakes and hazelnuts folded into a white chocolate glaze, reminiscent of a Raffaello. Loved it. Soft and fluffy, not too sweet. bit.ly/sgcafes

Light Fluffy Donuts I loveeee the texture of these donuts. I could easily eat 4 of these by myself. Not too sweet and not too dense. Coffee is not bad too!

Giant Scallops [$4.80] Japan’s Largest Kaiten sushi chain opens in Shaw. What’s immediately apparent was the spread - amazing choices, not easily available at all other sushi train chains. Most of the time, people go for sushi train restaurants to satisfy a craving and because of it’s value for money. Sushiro surpasses all of those expectations with ramen options which come with Tonkotsu and Shoyu broths, a good variety of fresh seafood - think more tuna cuts, surf clams, fresh scallops, monk fish, seabream, uni, surf clams, spear squid etc. One would expect that with great variety comes some compromise in terms of quality but we were proven wrong. My favourite was the Giant Scallops. They were plump, juicy and fresh paired with creamy wasabi for an instantly shiok thumbs-up. This is one combination that is sure to keep you coming back for more.

Great Food For Price Had the salmon belly and that was great!

八天堂の靜岡抹茶くりーむプリン $4.30 Hattendo Shizuoka Matcha Pudding topped with Whipping Cream

Salmon Rare Katsu Other than their fantastic tonkatsu which I love so much, they have pretty decent salmon katsu too! It taste better than I’ve imagined it would be.

Wasabi ginger ale - $3.00 Disappointed as there is not even a hint of wasabi but taste is ok for ginger ale

Pork Tenderloin Set (120g) - $18.90 Not a fan of pork tonkatsu so can't comment but hub prefer the normal pork tonkatsu as portion is bigger and slightly cheaper. Goes well with both tomato sauce and curry sauce

Grilled Cheese ($12) Another new bakery!? Be greeted by an array of fresh handcrafted bakes @bakersbenchbakery. From scones to loaves and sandwiches served from 11am. The Grilled Cheese isn’t quite what I envisioned. Crusty sourdough layered with tomato chutney, smoked cheddar, gruyere, mozzarella, before it’s crowned with parmesan. Don’t expect a pocket of cheese inside though.

Cheeky Chicken Two slices of toasted sourdough sandwiched Koji-brined chicken thigh, purple cabbage slaw, kombucha vinaigrette and furikake. ($14) Its not the most delicious sandwich in the world, but I can see its a labor of love. I like the tanginess of the vinaigrette paired with the creamy slaw and the tenderness of the chicken. I wish there was a tad bit more of it for the price point. The sourdough...hmm. Not sure how I feel about that. I suppose I just wish it was more dense and more thickly sliced? But maybe that's just a personal preference. 6.5/10

Sticky Bun Oh hello there!! I basically screamed and made a beeline for this like the excited little girl I am. 🤣 It comes on a big tray with all the buns stuck together and just dripping with caramel. This bun is super fluffy, chewy and just covered with glossy caramel and topped with pecans. It's reminiscent of those soft breads you get in at the neighborhood bakery except it's majestically sized. It tears open like a cinnamon roll (and indeed, the dough is flavored with cinnamon) with just the perfect crumb. I don't think there's anything mindblowing about it, it's just so aesthetically appealing and you can't go wrong with syrup slathered on fluffy bread. And that crunch from the pecan...totally awesome. 7/10

Moon Walk From House on the Moon; a new dessert bar which had opened its doors fairly recently at Great World City. Serving up plated desserts at their space at Level 1 of the mall, their space at Level 2 offers the same items available at Level 1 for takeaway. Collaborating with Chef Juan Amador of Michelin-starred Alma by Juan Amador, the Moon Walk (also the signature here) features elements such as Yogurt, Nut Butter and Coconut, and comes with its own tea pairing of a Coconut, Cream Tea. A pretty refreshing dessert, this was a dessert that carried a light flavour profile and a light, tangy note; particular of that from the yogurt elements. Featuring a multitude of textures, the dessert hits the senses all in the right notes; cool and smooth ice-cream, creamy mousse layers, fluffy sponge, crumbles for a buttery crunch while the white chocolate helps to add a crisp, shattering sweetness, this was an item that tickles the taste buds — not too heavy, yet very well-designed to give just that right contrast and balance in terms of texture. Hoping to see the folks behind House on the Moon come up with more plated desserts — a very rare destination within a shopping mall, and a spot I will gladly make a trip down to Great World City for an accessible experience almost akin to that of fine-dining, be it in terms of presentation of food and its service.

Beef Short Plate, Pork Jowl And Belly Yakiniku Like at Paya Lebar is the first store in Singapore for the famous Japanese Yakiniku chain. Their creative no fuss grilling dining concept and affordable prices have earned them long queues and rave reviews. The beef Short Plate was so damn good. Nice and fatty, and screamed good quality (for the super affordable price). There is a difference between grills using racks and those like a hotplate. With their rack grill the meat tasted smoky and caramelised as the flames kissed the meat. The pork Jowl, as usual had very nice intramuscular fat that benefited from the grilling. The belly was quite nice, decent quality. Many sauces to try, which was pretty fun. Overall good quality yakiniku, and given the price (paid about 10 bucks/pax for 150g of meat total, if you pick the right meats) just makes it super worth it. Can't stop thinking of the grilled meats and can't wait to be back

Super Affordable BBQ Place W Excellent Meat Quality I ordered the Karubi Set which consisted of 100g Beef Short Plate along with the rice, soup and kimchi (or salad). This costed $8.90 nett price, in fact everything on the menu was at nett price. How cheap is that!! There’s even 3 sizes for rice, and there’s no need for top-ups. This place is really unique especially for solo diners because there are seats that have individual grills. Not only that, their special suction won’t leave you smelling like bbq after your meal! Really really great quality of meat, accompanied with an array of sauces, personally liked dipping mine in the authentic manner; pepper and salt. Its so affordable as well! Service was on point, food came rlly quick. Overall a very pleasant experience, 100% would come back!

Barbecue Solo Without Being Judged The grills in Yakiniku Like are smokeless and odourless. How this works is a special suction that sucks in the smoke from below the grill. Read more: https://www.misstamchiak.com/yakiniku-like/

Wagyu Beef And just to show the marbling again. Although once cooked I couldn't really discern it from the regular beef.

Glutinous Rice Balls These were actually really nice. Its part of the carbs section but would've passed off as dessert too. These were so chewy almost like mochi. Very addictive.

Tomato And Mushroom The other options being mala and regular broths. Their broths are definitely not their forte. But I guess the star of their show is the meats. The relatively light and plain-tasting broth allowed the flavours of the meats to shine through.
