Great place for medium size groups. Hosts were also super friendly and gave good service! One for one Pizza and Pasta was good. Recommend their Gnocchi and Seafood pasta. Limoncello Spritz was delicious!
Steamed white rice served with salad, tempeh, smashed chicken, crunchy smashed crumbs, and homemade sambal. The chicken came with crispy skin and tender meat, served piping hot as they deep fried it again before plating. The dish has its own version of sambal which is spicier. As usual, I helped myself to more of their sweet and spicy sambal because a small saucer is never enough. They also served soto soup with it, which was quite average.

Had such a lovely experience at Meadesmoore! The interior was stunning and honestly had the most attentive, warm service I've had in a while.
The food was so good too! The Roasted French Scallop was tender and sweet, steak was cooked perfectly and melted in my mouth, the mac and cheese was creamy and rich without being heavy. I can’t wait for my next visit!
Tanjong Pagar Plaza is pretty much a treasure trove for hidden F&B establishments even outside of the hawker centre component of the complex — while most of the establishments in there have been operating for a while, Bill’s 8 Cafe had recently opened at the second level of Blk 1 Tanjong Pagar Plaza. They are conveniently located right beside one of the staircases / lift lobbies of the HDB block; they are also neighbours with Chef Yamashita which is best known for its Japanese-inspired bakes that has been operating in the same block for a while. Bill’s 8 Cafe does have a long history in the F&B scene in Singapore — the establishment is by the same folks behind Eight Cafe & Bar at Bukit Pasoh; they had also previously ran the previous iteration of MOD Cafe within MOD Hair Salon at Kuo Chuan Avenue before returning to BBC — Beats Bites Cocktails that had taken over the former premises of Eight Cafe & Bar for their afternoon operations. Bill’s 8 Cafe in its current iteration at Tanjong Pagar Plaza is a tighter space — this is also in line with their vision of being a simpler establishment serving up less complex food whilst still focusing on their espresso-based specialty coffee offerings. The food menu here is split into sections dedicated to Light Lunch, Bread and Toast, and Sourdough Waffle during our visit — beverages available are split between Coffee and Non Coffee sections.
The Smoked Tomato Chicken Melt is an item that is listed under the Light Lunch section of the menu. It can be observed from our order that the Smoked Tomato Chicken Melt is served in a format of a sandwich. It can be observed from our order that the Smoked Tomato Chicken Melt comes with elements such as lettuce, melted cheese, smoked tomato puree, chicken breast slices and some chickpeas — all that in between sourdough toast that is baked by themselves which is also a specialty here. Sinking our teeth into the Smoked Tomato Chicken Melt, it does seem like the sourdough here is done on the lighter side; easy to chew, softer and fluffier than most other sourdough bread that we have had elsewhere — it also carries a lighter tang that stems from the fermentation process in the making of the sourdough as well which does not interfere with the other elements within the sandwich. The sliced chicken breast does come in thin slices which makes it easy to chew; each slice also smothered in the smoked tomato puree for a zesty, tangy and refreshing note that adds flavour to the otherwise plain chicken breast. The addition of melted cheese gives the sandwich an added touch of savouriness but it is the inclusion of chickpeas which was particularly interesting — gives a soft bite and a hint of earthiness that adds more flavour complexity to the entire sandwich as well.
For those whom have been keeping tabs to our posts in recent times, one would probably have got to learn about the aggressive expansion of Desert Dessert; no doubt the establishment may have closed its founding outlet at Ang Mo Kio near Mayflower MRT Station not too long ago, but the brand had also refreshed its entire look and offerings with the opening of their new locations at Siglap and Hillv2. These folks had recently opened another new outlet at Lentor; they are located within the Cold Storage Fresh outlet at Lentor Modern which sits right atop Lentor MRT Station along the Thomson-East Coast Line. Their set-up within Cold Storage Fresh is near the checkout area — this is also their very first location in which that is not run as an independent store on its own. With that being said, it is interesting to note that there is a small space catered for those whom intend to dine-in. Given the limited space around for this outlet, the offerings at their Lentor location is not as extensive as what is being served up at their Hillv2 location; the outlet at Lentor serves up selected flavours of gelato that can be ordered in a cup or in a cone, or with a waffle — there is also quite an extensive selection of cakes that are being offered here as well. Beverages offered at the Lentor outlet is segmented into categories such as Coffee & Cocoa, and DD Signatures.
The Kuro Matcha Mochi Cake is one of the few cakes of which are being stocked within the display chiller during our visit to Desert Dessert — Desert Dessert did not describe the elements included in each cake on the description card placed in front of the respective items I the display chiller, though it can be observed from our slice of the Kuro Matcha Mochi Cake that the cake features black sesame-infused pastry cream, matcha-infused pastry cream, mochi, black sesame-infused sponge and Sesame Tuile. If there is anything that we can commend about the cake, it is probably how the cake isn’t too sweet for a start — there is definitely a light hint of the roast-y notes of sesame that is well-complimented by the bitter undertones of the Japanese tea. With all that being said, it does feel like this slice of cake has been sitting around the display chiller for some time; the pastry cream seem to have lost a little bit of its original consistency being slightly less smooth and creamy as one would expect it to be; the mochi was quite a letdown with its consistency being almost no different to the sponge cake itself with no chew nor stretching effect that one typically thinks about when mochi is being mentioned. Equally disappointing would be the Sesame Tuille; this turn out become quite a soggy, wet and sweaty slop that lacked any crispness which was a little off-putting to say the least. Considering how the quality of their cakes are being compromised at this outlet, perhaps it is better to opt for their gelatos that are churned fresh at this location which would also be more representative of the experience of Desert Dessert outlets elsewhere.
Had a lovely lunch at One Prawn & Co at New Bahru and tried their curated set, “The First Dip” (for 2 pax).
The portion was definitely more than enough for two people. Started with two appetizers, the Bang Bang Salmon Tartare and Smoky Kombu Prawn Toast. The salmon tartare was fresh with no fishy smell, and the prawn toast was something quite unique which was a definitely a must try for something different.
For mains, we had the Prawn Bisque Ramen and the Holy Halibut Burger. The ramen was a standout, a great combination of traditional prawn noodles with a rich, thick ramen style broth. If you’re a ramen lover, this is a really satisfying bowl to try. The halibut burger was also impressive, with a soft, fluffy bun and a tender fillet that came together really well.
We ended with the Smoked Valrhona Caraibe Chocolate Tart and Crème Brûlée Cheesecake. Even though we were already very full from the mains, the desserts were too good to pass up. we finished everything!
Overall, a great lunch experience with creative dishes, generous portions, and flavours that feel both familiar and unique. Definitely worth visiting if you’re around New Bahru.
Clear tom yum seafood soup leaned more sour than spicy, appetising and generous with seafood and mushrooms that gave it a bright lift. Stir‑fried kang kong Thai style came slick with garlic and chili, while basil pork felt dry without much sauce, missing that extra punch. Food overall was decent with authentic flavours coming through, though rice at $1.50 per portion felt pricy for what it is.
Clear Tom Yum Seafood Soup 》$12.90

Basil Pork 》$10.90
Iconic green pandan rice that’s fluffy and fragrant, rich with coconut flavour in every bite. The sambal adds a sweet spicy kick that ties the whole pack together. The standard set comes with chicken wing, egg and fish cake, and I added a fillet. Queues build quickly and while I this above average, it’s something I’ll enjoy when I’m in the area rather than making a trip just for it 》$9 / 2 Sets + 1 Fillet
Rich curry broth that comes creamy and full of flavour in every spoonful. It feels hearty without being too heavy, the kind of bowl that keeps me going back for another sip. Portion could be a little bigger for the price but it’s still a comforting pick when I’m craving laksa with a mix of YTF 》$7
Intrigued by its name and description, I ordered one to try and did not regret it. It was refreshing. Double espresso shaken with ice, vanilla syrup, and fresh orange peel. Chilled, bittersweet, tangy, with an intense coffee note.
