Love The King Prawn Linguine Ngl I’ve been avoiding dabaoing pastas bc I’m paranoid they’d get soggy, but not Beurre’s 𝙆𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙧𝙖𝙬𝙣 𝙇𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙪𝙞𝙣𝙚 (~$13.95 aft 50% disc). An Asian spin on pastas, this XO sauce pasta retained its umami flavour and spotlighted the hei bi hiam aroma of the King Prawns. Accompanied by caviar, baby squids, and ebi, this was hands down THE pasta.🍤🍤 Ig @goodfomood

Umami Indeed I’m a sucker for proper plating even in takeaway containers, which is exactly what the 𝙐𝙢𝙖𝙢𝙞 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙣 𝙇𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙪𝙞𝙣𝙚 (~$12.45 aft disc) was. Tomato based pink sauce doused the al dente linguine, creating a strong flavour canvas for the juicy grilled chicken.🍝🍗 Ig @goodfomood

For 1-for-1 Pasta/Rice Bowl (save ~$22) Treat yourself to value-for-money French-fusion fare for a WFH lunch. Order from Beurre's exclusive delivery menu and enjoy dishes like Black Pepper Wagyu Striploin Rice Bowl ($25.70), Miso Unagi Pasta ($25.90) and tender 36-Hours Braised Pork Belly Rice Bowl ($19.70). Add on Pulled Pork Samosa ($7.80) on the side for the full taste of Beurre! Photo by Burppler Chubby Cheeks *Eligible for 1-for-1 Takeaways till 30th June

Cheeseburger 12+ Basically a Mac but every element better. Super satisfying but the patty was well done for some reason. Expected more for their standard, would have been so much better if it were medium. Other than that it's pretty good, and they really nailed the sauce, taste just like the big Mac sauce(or what I rmbed it to be lol). Saw online that the secret is pickle juice, giving it that tanginess. I recommend getting the double patty for only 6+ more, cos I crave for a bit more meat in this one(the ratio is decent alr though, better than the Reuben)

Reuben 12+ Not as good as last time. The ingredients aren't as generous and the generous slices of sourdough meant that the ratio of the bread to filling ratio was off. Still wasn't bad by any means, just not the stunner I dreamt about since the first bite

Taramasalata W Pita bread 10+ The pita bread was almost textbook, being soft and pliable yet retaining some give. And finally I've had a Taramasalata that's punchy(after the plain one-off from burnt ends). This one was unabashed about the saltiness and the fishiness, yet it was still quite good and full of umami. Not for everyone, esp those who dislike fishiness like myself, but it's definitely a solid rendition(esp w that awesome pita bread)

Oyster Omelette Adding extra oysters was a good choice. The oysters so plump & fresh, I enjoyed this so much. I have been craving for oyster omelette since the start of Circuit Breaker. Honestly, eating this only makes me crave harder because it’s so good. Not the usual kind of oyster you see in oyster omelette, they use sashimi grade oysters and the result is awesome. Pork Chop Set, though not in photo, is pretty good as well, the curry does hit the right spot. But if I can only choose one, definitely oyster omelette. Available for takeaway & delivery; $10 for Islandwide Delivery(min. $30) — Oyster Omelette M $16 + Oysters 6pcs $5 Curry Pork Chop Set $6

Oyster Omelette ($10.80 nett) Make sure you try their famous Oyster Omelette ($10.80 nett). That dish is a must because they use plump and creamy oysters of substantial size, but I am sure it is their unique style of crispy pan-fried egg with batter that contributes significantly to this being a bestseller too.

Pig’s Trotter Beehoon ($10.80 nett) Had a pig-out session recently at this casual but cosy eatery in Far East Plaza. I ordered a childhood favourite dish of mine, the Pig’s Trotter Beehoon and found that it’s done really well here. The strands of rice noodles are properly saturated in the braising sauce and there is so much of the fatty, wobbly, unctuous meat too. Even if you order the small portion ($10.80 nett) which is what I did, there is no doubt the serving is very generous. So unless you have a huge appetite, I suggest sharing.

Lady Marmalade @meatsmith_sg are meat maestros, but their burgers are definitely over performing and overshadowing the other mains. Besides their stellar world beater of a double cheeseburger, their beautiful beef marmalade cheeseburger is priced at a very modest $20++.⠀ ⠀ One of same brisket patties that goes into the standard issue double cheeseburger is present. The replacement for the other patty is an obscenely concentrated beef marmalade. Don’t expect subtlety or balance here, this burger is an all out assault on your tastebuds.⠀ ⠀ The beef marmalade is composed of pulled beef and onions, caramelised in a redolent reduction that is equally sweet and salty. It’s very nearly an overload for the tongue, and the richness is cranked up to eleven. And finally that majestic marmalade is panfried before it gets loaded on top of one of Meatsmith’s perfect patties. The pickles, while sharp and zesty, aren’t quite enough to cut through the maelstrom of meaty marvellousness. And that, folks, is how you get the perfect burger that’s been engineered for pleasure. Y’all best remember this about all of Meatsmith’s burgers: THEY DON’T MISS

Buttermilk Chicken Burger from Meatsmith! Thick, juicy chicken coated in crispy buttermilk batter. Let's just say this was so good I didn't even get a bite before my family finished it all. Price: ~ $10 #halfeatenblog #meatsmith #burger #burpple

Best Burger In Singapore (& Maybe The World) The oozing melty slice of cheddar cheese. The thick succulent slab of juicy beef patties. The perfectly toasted golden brown and pillowy buns. The Double Cheeseburger at MeatSmith is absolutely life changing, and I’m not exaggerating. One bite, and I was hooked. The beef patties, made of wagyu beef brisket, are beautifully seared on the outside, and juicy and medium-rare in the centre. Then you get the kick from tangy and acidic pickles embedded inside the burger. Not only are these burgers absolutely delicious, they’re the biggest steal of the century, thanks to the promo MeatSmith is having. Before Circuit Breaker, they were $10++ every Tuesday—and now, you can get the cheeseburger (along with other awesome dishes like the pulled pork and brisket sandwich and fried chicken) for $10 all day everyday during the CB. Take my money. (Skip the side dishes, like the $8++ fries and $5++ iced tea though. They’re pricey but pretty ordinary.) Hope everyone is staying safe, and support our SG F&B if you can! Go try some of MeatSmith’s awesome burgers. They—and your stomach—will thank you for it. (Wanna see the MeatSmith burger in all its glory?

Food Is Pretty And Fresh But Pricing Is On The High Side. G I F T E D On Thursday, I had a rather atypical dinner starting with delivery being done by none other than @alanloveshisboys (again, thank you so much for doing that, Alan). He passed me two Bentos from @kapposhunsui - they‘re part of the restaurant’s NEW Takeaway Menu. Breathtaking in presentation, the contents were a feast for the eyes. And the Japan-made boxes that held the food, were simply exquisite with a gorgeous lacquer finish. There is no doubt much effort had been put into sourcing for the best of the season and every edible thing in the two Bentos was very fresh and of top quality, which is important since prices are on the higher end. The Tsubaki Early Summer Bento ($130), a two-tiered structure, held these in its upper box: Dashimaki Tamago, Miso-marinated Silver Cod, Egg Miso-marinated Salmon, Roasted Duck, Lettuce Soup with Fresh Tofu Skin and Sesame Tofu, Skewer of Tamagoyaki, Kurama Ebi and Shishito Pepper, Lemon Bowl Ikura, Bamboo Rolled Gluten, Kamo Eggplant with Miso Paste (my fave!!), Grilled Abalone and Asparagus, Autumn Leaves Gluten, Broad Beans and Pickled Japanese Ginger. The bottom box contained Conger Eel Sushi, Baby Sardine with Japanese Pepper Rice, Bamboo Maki Sushi and Shibazuke Pickles. Accompanying the Bento was a large serving of an intense Miso Soup concocted with Japanese Pepper, Steamed Miller Wheat Gluten, Nameko Mushrooms and Mitsuba.

[Kappo Shunsui] - I have eaten Bafun Uni many times for its creaminess and sweetness but this is my first time having the Murasaki Uni. Murasaki uni is darker in colour and longer in size. It has a grainy texture and a slight unami bitterness. Its like having hairy crab roes. . Find out more at https://www.sgfoodonfoot.com/2018/06/kappo-shunsui-cuppage-plaza-hidden.html .

thin-crust pizza Dining at Madrinaa was a rather underwhelming experience - I had high expectations for it. The Ischia pizza ($28++) was generous with its toppings: one piece of Parma ham per slice and a generous heap of rucola, but the base was too thin and a tad dry - none of the satisfying crunch you’d expect from a thin-crust, and none of the cheesy goodness you’d expect from pizza. The price is a bit more palatable with BB’s 1 for 1 but there are better options out there!

Risotto De Tartufo One of the best mushroom risottos I've tried! Amazing flavour with truffle cream sauce and parmesan. Available during cb for takeaway and food delivery. Must support!

Le Pizze - Bergamo Thin crust pizza with crispy pepperoni, sweet tomato sauce with shiitake mushrooms. The crust was crispy and the sauce was delicious, with a spicy kick from the fresh chilli. The staff were attentive and the service was great! I also ordered a pasta. The meal was affordable with the Burpple 1-1 deal at $24++. I’d definitely go back when I have a craving for pizza.

Loved The Prawn Though It Was Too Oily The end bit of rice was partially swimming in oil, but flavour wise the 𝙃𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙮 𝙂𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙞𝙘 𝙋𝙧𝙖𝙬𝙣 (~$17) was SOLID. The evident garlic aroma interrupted the sweet prawns and honey, enhancing the depth of flavour of the rice. 🦐 Ig @goodfomood

Pretty Decent Chilli Crab Linguine If you’re a carbs on carbs kinda person, the 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞 𝘾𝙧𝙖𝙗 𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙖 (~$17) is for you. Mantous AND linguine?? Yes please. The chilli crab sauce was more spicy tomato than chilli crab, which wasn’t my kinda thing, but I still really enjoyed this dish with the springy crab 🦀 Ig @goodfomood

Potentially Good Beef Yakiniku With a generous portion of not too fatty beef, the 𝘽𝙚𝙚𝙛 𝙔𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙪 (~$18) had potential. Perhaps consider drenching and mixing the rice with sweet sauce — it was rather dry and clumpy. 🍚 Ig @goodfomood

Dashi Oden (SGD $20) @ Dashi Master Marusaya. Their dashi oden features a warm, earthy savoury salty sweet base of dashi stock flavoured with light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce. . This one-pot stew is then garnished with a medley of ingredients, including tender Japanese mountain yam chunks which are earthy sweet, and gelatinous konjac cubes which are sweet earthy. . There's the classic soft braised daikon radish chunks which are vegetal sweet salty from absorbing the broth, and bouncy fish cake strips which are sweet savoury with a light dense chew. . The more premium ingredients include bouncy hard-boiled egg which is eggy sweet, tightly packed chicken meat balls made with tender minced chicken meat and crunchy chicken cartilage with savoury salty sweet taste, and a garnish of crunchy sweet peas in a pod with vegetal sweet flavour. . Wholesome and healthy sharing stew, so yummy and comforting. . Invited tasting. Visits were before the circuit breaker in Singapore. . . . Dashi Master Marusaya More details in profile & blog

Dashi Shabu (SGD $Set) @ Dashi Master Marusaya. The dashi shabu broth is seasoned with light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and salt, giving it an earthy savoury salty flavour. . It's garnished with crunchy shredded fresh vegetables which lend vegetal sweet flavour, including napa cabbage, carrots, kale, garland chrysanthemum, and leeks. . There's also tender shimeji mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, soft silken tofu beancurd, and crisp Japanese ginger, all of which result in bold earthy herbal sweet notes. . We were guided to bring the hot pot to a boil, then lower the temperature to 80 degrees celcius; helping ourselves to the first portion of the soup, before cooking the meat (which comes with the set). . The A5 Miyazaki Wagyu Beef Shabu (SGD $68 per person set) has good marbling, and the wagyu beef cooks quickly. Has a light delicate chew to texture, with a beautiful meaty fatty savoury salty flavour. . The Premium Hokkaido Pork Shabu (SGD $48 per person set) is meaty with a light chew to texture, and needs a slightly longer cooking time. This Hokkaido pork is clean-tasting and fresh, with lovely meaty savoury sweet flavour. . The set is finished with either udon noodles or congee. I prefer the congee, where excess water is removed then white rice and whisked eggs are poured in, and folded repeatedly. Finally, a garnish of dried seaweed and spring onions tops it off. . The okayu / congee is thick and rich, with a lovely yummy eggy grainy sweet savoury flavour. . Invited tasting. Visits were before the circuit breaker in Singapore. . . .

Taberu Katsuobushi / Marinated Bonito Fish Jerky (SGD $15) @ Dashi Master Marusaya. This differs from the usual bonito fish flakes, because instead of being dried and smoked then shaved, it's marinated with light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and thinly sliced. . The result is the marinated bonito fish jerky having a light firm stringy chew to texture, with a distinct savoury salty fishy flavour that reminds me of dried squid. . Pleasant on its own, much better when paired with some creamy mayonnaise, which lends a milky sweet note. . Invited tasting. Visits were before the circuit breaker in Singapore. . . .

Chilli Crab Lovin’ I’ve yet to see someone rave about the 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞 𝘾𝙧𝙖𝙗 𝙋𝙞𝙯𝙯𝙖 (~$26) here so let me be the first.🤪 - Not gonna lie, I expected one of those artificially sweet “This is totally not chilli crab but let’s just pretend” kind of chilli crab sauce, but I’m so glad I was wrong. - It did (for lack of a better description), pack a PUNCH. Spicy and tangy, it was a good call by Zazz to throw in a couple of sweet cherry tomatoes into the mix 🍅 - I’ve spoken highly about their dough before: it’s REALLY LEGIT. I ate the pizza crust. Which almost never happens 🤩 Ig @goodfomood

Parma Pizza Foolproof and satisfying despite having been in a box for an hour or so, the Parma ($26) pizza arrived as a bare red pizza with melted mozzarella and the ingredients separated in another container; which I figured helped retain some of the freshness. Dressed with parma ham, rucola, pomegranate, and shaved parmesan; the classic pie was salty though not overwhelmingly so. The rucola as well as pomegranate adding a refreshing sharpness and texture to the dish. There was also a pleasant touch of smokiness from the distinct leopard-spotting. *Free islandwide delivery for orders above $60

Zazz Pizza Nothing beats the aroma of a piping hot pie fresh from a wood-fired oven! But for now, we can only have the next best thing and that, I believe is Zazz Pizza delivered right to our doorstep. At $26, their namesake pizza comes with Australian ribeye, mozzarella, mixed mushrooms, parmesan, truffle cream, rucola, and cherry tomatoes. Although the pizza crust was regrettably soft and the ribeye beef chunks a tad dry, the flavours were certainly superb. A simple and elegant combination, the specialty white pizza had a good amount of greens to counter the heaviness of the meat. The earthy notes from the mushrooms and truffle cream also worked harmoniously with the savouriness of the cheeses as well as the burst of sweetness from the tomatoes. *Free islandwide delivery for orders above $60

The Intriguing Allure Of Chef Taro’s Saturday “Guerilla Bento”. As immaculately prepared as I expect of @taro.chef’s food, his #GuerillaBento this week was infinitely more WOW than I could imagine, especially since it cost only $38! The #Barachirashi Takayama-style boasted much bigger-than-normal cuts of fish, scallop and seafood and they were all superb in quality and taste. There was a freshly-baked mini Burnt Matcha Cheesecake with Strawberry Sauce for dessert as well. You bet I was wreathed in smiles as I ravished my set meal. For the benefit of those who DM-ed me, Chef Taro’s “Guerilla Bento” is available only on Saturdays and it changes every time. He prepares only 20 sets, and you never know what is going to be in there until he shares a snippet of what’s coming in his Instagram Stories, sometime in the middle of the week. These meals are inspired by moments in his life, such as a favourite childhood dish or something he recalls enjoying at a point in his travels. Therefore, his Guerilla Bentos are really quite special because of that emotional connection you’ll have to him. To book one for yourself, please follow @taro.chef on Instagram since ordering is only via DM to him (not @sgtakayama restaurant).

Check Out The Mysterious “Guerilla Bento”, Limited To Just 25 Sets A Day. G I F T E D To my surprise, Chef Taro packed a special bento in with the rest of my orders. He calls this his “Guerilla Bento”, of which there he makes only 25 sets a day. What goes into it is based on his whim as the inspirations are his own food memories. For eg. the charming box I received was meticulously packed with Japanese rice topped with salmon cutlet and Japanese fish cake tempura with Aosa seaweed; alongside it, a jar of fresh ikura. Then from what I read, come this Saturday (April 25th), a 98% Wagyu Hamburg will star in the “Guerilla Bento”. By the way, you won’t find these Bento sets listed on @sgtakayama’s official takeaway / delivery website. To get your hands on one (yes, they are very stealthy, like Ninjas 😆), you must DM @taro.chef on Instagram (haha - I really do love the fun behind this 😄).

They Have Takeaway Sets Featuring Premium Kagoshima Wagyu From Japan. I decided to purchase from one of my favourite Japanese Kappo-style restaurants where I’ve had some spectacular meals. To be honest, it is impossible to capture the dine-in experience at @sgtakayama in a takeaway but Executive Chef Taro and his team are doing their best. One thing’s for sure though - all the ingredients they use and the level at which they are preparing them, are uncompromised. My favourite from amongst what I had is the Kagoshima Wagyu Don ($83). The beef, which comes in large slices, is buttery-soft and a little sweet from the sukiyaki sauce it’s cooked quickly in. Love that the set is completed with seasonal side dishes and a soft-cooked egg. If you are into Japanese curry, the mildly spicy Kagoshima Wagyu Curry Don ($53) is a good pick. What I like is the beef in here comes in chunks rather than slices and that the set is also accompanied by a soft-cooked egg that you crack in prior to eating.

Wagyu (part of my dinner omakase). Well-marbled A5 Hokkaido wagyu that was fatty, yet having beefyness. This was part of my lineup of omakase here that included sashimi, grilled dishes, tempura, and sushi. And these, while having a view of the Keppel Bay. 🔸 [Tasting] #a5wagyu #wagyu #和牛 #omakasesg #sgomakase #fujifilm #burpple #sgfoodies #sgfood #foodsg #instasg #foodstagram #instafood #instafood_sg #f52grams #hungrygowhere #sgfoodblogger #vscofood #sgig #sgjapanesefood #burpplesg #晩ごはん #夕ご飯 #和食 #omakase #lovefood #beeflover #おまかせ #beefsteak #sgrestaurant

Mascarpone Cheese Ice Cream (part of my omakase dinner). This is like cheesecake, complete with the biscuit base. But it's better, cos it's cheesecake in the form of ice cream, wrapped in Japanese mochi. 🔸 This may seems too much for one person, especially after a multi course omakase dinner. That's cos Anil @riardsg gave me his desserts as he don't take desserts. And I still finished them all :) 🔸🔸🔸 [Tasting] #foodphotography #fujifilm #burpple #eatoutsg #sgfoodies #sgfood #foodsg #instasg #foodstagram #instafood #instafood_sg #f52grams #hungrygowhere #sgfoodblogger #vscofood #sgig #dessertlover #sgjapanesefood #burpplesg #晩ごはん #夕ご飯 #和食 #omakase #dessertporn #おまかせ #dessertsg #sgrestaurant #sghotel #keppelbay #sushijiro

Premium Chirashi Don Sashimi not the freshest. Disappointed. Not impressed. Will not come back again.

10 Course Omakase Ambience: Minimalist style. Sushi counter can fit probably 10 pax. Best to sit at sushi counter for interaction with chef and see all the action. Note- this place is not related to the Sushi Jiro in Japan 😉 Food: We took the 10 course Omakase ($260/pax) and highlight includes: - shirako tempura (fish sperm sac- which is surprisingly better tasting than what it sound) - lobster sashimi with uni and ikura. - Wagyu a5 : Only 3 slices. Wish it could be more Overall all their seafood are very fresh which are expected when dining at this type of places.

Sushi Course We got the sushi course ($80++) which includes a 8 piece sushi platter and Uni and ikura rice amongst other dishes. Chef prepared all the dishes in front of us and would introduce them. Ambience was good and we were the only customers at that time. Overall good experience!

I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me! The seasonal ishigakigai (bering sea cockle) was moving when I was taking photos! Thumbs up for the freshness 👍🏻 . Where to dine? Sushi Jiro 6 Raffles Boulevard, 04-600 Marina Mandarin Hotel, 039594
