Conveniently located at The Poiz Centre, Amos Perfect Gelato is a new ice-cream parlour that is situated just a stone's throw away from Potong Pasir MRT Station. Offering ice-cream in both cups or with waffles, the flavours here are fairly well-executed; other noteworthy flavours include the Roasted Pistachio that is incredibly nutty and roasty.
The Vietnamese Coffee would do well with coffee lovers; a very rich and fragrant aroma that carried a punchy, bitter undertone, the flavour was undoubtedly aromatic and carried a distinct sweetness behind akin to that of Vietnamese Drip Coffee with Condensed Milk — slightly nutty and cocoa-like in its finish just like the real deal. A spot I would not mind visiting especially if I were to be passing by the area, and a place that residents would be glad to have in the neighbourhood!
Pretty worth it weekday set lunch ($1 top up for chawanmushi). We ordered the beef stew and wagyu rice set which came with a drink (hot or cold green tea) and ice cream (flavours: chocolate, strawberry, lychee, etc). The chawanmushi has a smooth texture but was a bit salty. Beef stew was tasty but we hoped for more gravy. Beef wagyu rice set was pretty good (though also a bit salty), but the onsen egg complimented the dish perfectly.
Had not tried Violet Oon Singapore proper until this visit was made a few days ago — the only other time I made a visit was for their Otah Toast a couple of years back at the Bukit Timah Road branch when they only had a single location. Having heard so mhch about this item from the very same person who ended up making the reservation so that I could have a taste of the item, the Beef Rendang clearly does not disappoint — really enjoyed all that Lemak-Ness of the Rendang; very creamy and decadent; not too spicy yet incredibly fragrant. The beef shares the limelight here with the rendang; the meat being incredibly tender without any effort required in chewing — all that without being particularly gamey and provides just enough meatiness alongside with the flavourful Rendang that carried a satisfying, familiar medley of flavours despite the complexity of the Rendang itself. It goes without saying we ended up mopping up the sauce clean with a bowl of Chicken Rice on the side; not that the Chicken Rice wasn't spectacular (it was extremely fragrant in its own right), but we just could not bear wasting it all. Service here is also what I am really fond of here; passionate, honest and friendly staff that is helpful with their recommendations and even engaging in small talk with their guests — things that really matter considering the bland service that many joints provide these days, which is also notch up from my experience back at Bukit Timah Road just a couple of years ago. Would really not mind coming back again another time, considering there are a couple of dishes that caught my attention — really impressed with how they do their spices here too as well!
Food here is roasted to order and really takes a very long time when we were the only customers, so better to have one person come early and order first.
This particular dish was very well roasted to the point of being super crispy. Only the interior tastes like Artichokes, the exterior are basically potato crisps. Overall not the best in flavour but luckily the other dishes were better.
Their balsamic is really sweet tho and i love it
It's a homemade jelly but it really made me v happy cos of the nostalgia. It's been 10 years since ive had something like that lol usually the restaurant jellies are of a different texture and are flavoured
This is a thought experiment of umami materialising. What would happen if u combined soy sauce, mushroom, tomato, sausage, butter and bacon? Ofc its bound to taste good
Execution was good too, esp the baby Spinach so it's definitely worth a try
Love the fluffy yet not heavy dessert! tried the Oolong boba-oolong sauce w gula melaka boba♥️ Perfect for after-dinner dessert as you won't feel bloated as well.
