Regular Salmon Don & Chirashi Don Both dishes exceeded our expectations! Definitely coming back again for their 1-1 deal!

Umami Explosion This beefy bowl runs up to $28, which is exorbitant but with the Burpple Beyond deal, certainly acceptable. They spammed the truffle button on this one, which complements the meat but I’ll argue it’s way too overbearing. Meat is tender and delicious, all in all still a nice eat

The Best Doing Burpple Restaurant Very worthwhile with 1-for-1 certainly, they serve chunky salmon cubes buried in copious amounts of mentaiko. It can get very jelat and cumbersome after awhile so best recommended to be shared with your pal or SO. Chiraishi always do well on Burpple and it’s easy to see why so, good premium ingredients on a good price point Taste: 7 Value:7.5 Overall:7.5

Very Worth It #BurppleBeyond 1-1 Aburi Salmon Don $13 Tamagoyaki $3 Crowded during early evening at about 6PM. One of the best deal on Beyond actually. Serving looked small but it was surprisingly filling after the meal, not to forget the generous aburi salmon cubes in the bowl. Service was quick and efficient with ice water provided plus no GST and service charge. Definitely worth maxing all 4 of the Beyond deals!

Aburi Salmon Don & Special Salmon Don Had the aburi salmon don ($13) and the special salmon don ($14) which is essentially the aburi salmon don with a flamed mayo sauce. Read other reviews which said the sauce was nice but it was a little disappointing (maybe i had too high expectations) and not worth the extra dollar in my opinion. I’d stick with the aburi salmon don the next time i come. Serving size was decent with more than adequate salmon cubes for each spoonful. Food is value for money if using the burpple beyond.

Meh I’ve had Better Had the Bara Chirashi Don ($10) and Special Salmon Don ($14). Tuna didn’t taste very fresh and the mayo concoction in the Special Salmon Don was rly nice but got gelat too fast too soon. Should be good to share but don’t recommend getting the whole bowl for yourself 🥴

Truffle Cream Salmon ($15.90) The Japanese phrase will tell you that you have three faces, the first one you show to the world, the second you show to your family, and the last you never show to anyone. The third one is often said to be the 'truest' reflection of who you are. In my case, the third face mirrors that of a simian ape on a cocaine and adrenaline overdose. - 📍 THE PLACE A pleasant little joint on the ground floor of The Cathay building, dim lighting and an island-seating concept that is aptly shaped like a scaled-down Noah’s Ark, this time without the animals and with more sashimi. - 🍽 THE FOOD 1️⃣ Wagyu Truffle Beef Don ($23.90) - the staple of practically every mid-scaled donburi joint at the moment, this did not fall below nor exceed expectations 2️⃣ Truffle Cream Salmon ($15.90) - I have a personal bias for the flaky, clean maritime flavours of salmon paired with a cream-based sauce of any kind, so add truffle into the mix, and you’ve got yourself a winner of a donburi 3️⃣ Premium Kaisen Don ($25.90) - it comes in a miniature replica of the scaled-down Noah’s Ark previously mentioned. The entertainment value of that alone is worth half the price 4️⃣ Hotate Mentai ($8) - interesting take on a scallop carpaccio with the addition of cornflakes for a textural contrast - 🤔 THE VERDICT It’s a sushi bar in a boat, that’s gotta be on your bucket list, right?

Chilli Crab Don Fresh salmon at a good price, the hot sake makes everything even better!

Wagyu Truffle Beef Wagyu Truffle Beef was overpriced in my opinion, given that I could get better tasting ones at a much more affordable rate from other restaurants. This bowl was not impressive at all, rice could have been a little warmer, there could have been a little more sauce, pretty much mediocre at best. ⁣⁣⁣

Ikura Sushi It’s a strange satisfaction to have them Ikura roes pop off against the roof of your mouth and suddenly being hit with this burst of umami goodness

Uni Sushi Look at that creaminess it is almost palpable just by mere observation...

A Box Of Gold The Chef showcasing a literal box of treasure before serving it up to us

Superior Prawn Mee Pok Noodles (SGD $19) @ Izy Fook. Think of this like a fusion of bak chor mee and Hokkien mee; with soft chewy mee pok egg noodles in a gravy of rich prawn stock, having bold sweet savoury salty flavour. . Garnished with tender minced pork, fresh bouncy deshelled tiger prawns, crisp sakura ebi / river shrimp, a wobbly soft onsen egg half, and crunchy fried shallots. . There's supposed to be lup cheong / dried Chinese pork sausage according to the menu, but we didn't have any in our serving. . Still, this was a delicious, filling bowl of noodles, pure comfort flavours. . . . Izy Fook More details in profile & blog

Cold Capellini Noodles (SGD $15) @ Izy Fook. This has to be eaten quickly, lest it gets clumpy. . The thin silky strands of capellini / angel hair pasta noodles are served chilled, in a creamy gravy blend of coconut cream, salted egg yolk, and truffle oil, giving this a bright floral earthy nutty sweet salty savoury flavour. . Paired with briny salty juicy globules of flying fish roe and crisp micro-greens, this was refreshing and appetizing. . So good. . . . Izy Fook More details in profile & blog

Izy House Salad (SGD $12) @ Izy Fook. This visually looks like a fresh garden salad, but tastes exactly like a Singaporean Chinese rojak salad, just without the dark fermented shrimp gravy. . This is achieved through the use of calamansi juice, laksa flower, and galangal. . The medley of fruits and vegetables (lettuce, chard, baby spinach, pickled cucumber, red onions, pineapple, starfruit, cherry tomato) are fresh and juicy sweet, but the dressing lends a depth of tangy sharp sour earthy spice flavour. . Interesting combination, and I love that it helps open the palate. . . . Izy Fook More details in profile & blog

For Fusion Ramen in Outram Perfect for date night or intimate gatherings is this snazzy ramen bar in Hotel Soloha along Teck Lim Road. Start with their succulent Char Siew Platter ($12) and plump Mentaiko Oysters ($5 per piece, $13 for three). Be sure to leave room for the Sliced Wagyu Beef with Truffle Iberico Tonkotsu ($23.90) — choose between the Japanese ramen noodles, linguine or angel hair pasta. Think Mizayaki A5 wagyu beef, nori seaweed, shimeiji mushrooms, ajitsuke tamago, bamboo shoot and green onion in an aromatic truffle tonkotsu broth. Psst — come from 5-8pm to make full use of their Happy Hour and get 1-for-1 Asahi Beer! Photo by Burppler Xing Wei Chua

Signature House Noodle — Sliced Wagyu Beef with Truffle Iberico Tonkotsu Opened recently within Hotel Soloha, Takeshi Noodle Bar is a new ramen establishment that serves up fusion ramen. Allowing patrons to customise their ramen according to their preferences, Takeshi Noodle Bar offers several types of noodles with their Ramen (i.e. Japanese Ramen noodles, Linguine or Angel Hair), whilst also allowing patrons to go for different levels of firmness of the noodles and various thickness of the broth. Going for the Japanese Ramen noodles for hard level of noodle firmness and a normal thickness of the broth, the ramen also features other elements such as Mizayaki A5 Wagyu Beef, Nori Seaweed, Kikuage, Hon Shimeiji, Ajiitsuke Tamango, Menma, Green Onion and a Truffle Tonkotsu broth. Taking a sip of the broth, the broth carries a light truffle aroma that perfumes the entire bowl; prominent but not overwhelming the creamy and aptly thick Tonkotsu broth that is not too cloying on its own. The slices of Wagyu Beef portioned was not something I would call generous; understandably so considering the grade of the beef for such a price tag but they were pretty tender without carrying any gaminess — a mix of lean and fatty meat without needing much effort to chew and almost akin to that of Shabu-Shabu style beef. The remaining condiments help to provide more texture to the ramen; the Hon Shimeiji and Kikuage providing a bouncy bite, while the Menma adds a crunch — the Ajiitsuke Tamago coming with molten yolk that carries a savoury note from the marination. Whilst opting for hard firmness for the noodles, we found the noodles to be much on the soft side instead. A pretty decent bowl of ramen; all served it a pretty hip environment that would work well as a spot for dates or catch-ups for small groups.

Normal Chirashi Bowl Thick slices of fish. So good n it glistened under the light 😋 Oishii!

Featuring this hidden gem at Far East Plaza! Located at a random corner of the dodgy shopping mall, the restaurant serves generous serving of delicious chirashi don ($26). The fish slices are so thick, at least twice the thickness of the typical sashimi. And they taste so fresh! The chirashi don had a great variety of fishes and scallops, and it leaves you feeling so satisfied. Kudos to the Chef! . Ratings - Taste: 5/5; Price: 3/5

Sushi Goodness 10/10 highly recommended! Had the 1 for 1 salmon sashimi, their Chirashi Don as well as an ebi roll (I can’t remember what’s the name of the roll but it has salmon on top). Hahaha the roll was too good I forgot to take a picture :) The food is superbbbbb, will definitely come again 😍😍 Though the food is slightly more pricey than wasabi tei which is located at Far East plaza, I think food wise, I prefer the sushi bar. If you are just craving for some salmon sashimi, I suggest wasabi tei for its price point 👍🏻 cheers!

Red Bean Matcha Dough Red Bean Matcha Obanyaki ($2.90) I realised Matcha Obanyaki was quite bitter enough to cover up sweetness of Red Bean. It also come in a value set of drink and obanyaki ($6.90). For me, its worth it for trying both drink and obanyaki for first time.

Hot Matcha And Matcha Latte Really good matcha drinks worth the price. Got these babies as a set each accompanied by two pancakes to match.. total damage $15.8 Matcha had a nutty taste, not ‘grassy’ and the colour of the tea was right... a deep aesthetic green.. very pleasing to the eye. Downside: no seating area Upside: next to fluffstack, need i say more😜

Matcha & Houjicha Soft Serve Limited Period [1 for 1] Soft Serve for Matcha & Houjicha Flavour (Up to $4.90) its worth it for trying different flavour for soft serve at one go. But Suntec City didn't have mixed flavour to be available that time so they have individual flavour instead. So I preferred Parfait Series instead of Soft Serve because you can try it for different ingredients for this. Hot Matcha Latte ($4.90) is quite strong taste for milk but less bitter. Its too thick when drinking towards the drink probably I didn't stirred well.

Sweet & Sour Pork Set ($18.80) They named it sweet and sour pork but this dish didn’t fare v well with our tastebuds. It was more of a meatball coated w teriyaki sauce. Kinda too sweet for me

Cheese Croquette The cheese was oozy and stretchy and inside the breaded ball, there was also mashed potato w some corn if I didn’t remember wrongly. Eating this as a starter was great

Ebi Don The prawns were really huge. Loved the eggs that went well went to rice and prawns. Presentation on point.

Roast Beef Omu Rice This dish was very tasty and the egg was cooked to perfection. The beef slices were so tender and when mixed with the black sauce, the silky egg and rice, it's like a mini explosion in your mouth! Would totally come back here again!

Black Curry With Cheese And Beef Patty ($22) Doesn’t look very appetising but this dish was really spectacular!! It was served piping hot and was very flavourful - cheese and beef patty was a good combination with generous portions. The cheese simply melts in your mouth while the black curry was an interesting dish ... would highly recommend this!

Value For Money The beef dishes here are really value for money, especially with burpple beyond! We got the beef katsu and the Black Angus skirt steak and both were pretty good and made for an enjoyable meal - but I found the beef slightly chewy and not as tender as I would like.

Affordable Chirashi Bowl My second visit here - feel like they can get quite understaffed so be prepared to wait for your food. The Burpple 1-for-1 included a set with mentaiko tamago, salad with roasted sesame dressing, miso soup and a bowl of your choice. At $13 it’s really affordable, but quality wise the food is pretty average. Not the freshest but okay for the price!

[Kei Kaisendon] - The Mentaiyaki Tamago Kaisendon ($18.90) arrived in an impressive array of cubed sashimi and mentaiko tamago pieces. I liked how the piquant flavour and slight saltiness of the mentaiyaki balance out the light sweetness of the tamago. While the sashimi cubes are fresh and silky, the mentaiko-laden tomago blow-torched to perfection adds a lovely umami flavour to the don. .

Delicious Food Love the food here. Yummy, fresh & delicious. Only drawback, Green tea wasn’t free, got to top up. Staffs were very friendly. Be back anytime 😀

We Beefin’ Oddly enough, despite Le Coq being an unabashed & proud purveyor of meaty cocks, the skewer that impressed us the most was their wagyu beef one ($6.80++ a stick). Despite being seasoned with nothing but sea salt, pepper and basted with butter, these beef sticks were absolutely ambrosial. The meat was fantastically fatty, juicy and tremendously tender. The smokiness from the charcoal was pleasantly perfumed each bite, and scintillatingly savoury. Every single bite was a brilliantly beefy bite, and it’s all over far, far too soon. I’m, for one, am eternally glad that Le Coq seriously beefed up their menu with these stellar skewers of wagyu beef.

Oh Man, This Some Good Somen While I found the truffle oil that had been liberally drizzled onto the cold somen quite overwhelming, there was no denying that this Cold Truffle Somen with Scallop Sashimi & Caviar ($16++) was exquisitely enjoyable. Especially after a meal stuffed full of mouthwatering meat in the form of Le Coq’s titillating yakitori. The noodles were delightfully springy & bouncy, and were jus the right side of al dente. As for the sashimi scallops...oh man. The stellar scallop sashimi was stupendously sweet and sensually supple, a fine accompaniment to the noodles. The caviar was dotted around amongst the somen, and each provided a scintillatingly savoury pop when bitten into. Absolutely addictive, believe me. Eating this plate of somen on a screaming hot day? Oh man.

Truffle Yakiniku with Foie Gras Came here a couple times for their truffle yakiniku with foie gras - have to say that I'm pleasantly surprised that their quality was pretty consistent! The yakiniku was cooked to the perfect doneness, paired with a sinful piece of foie gras. 😋
