Guiding you to good food & best restaurants in Singapore

The last savoury course was a comforting Local Barramundi Belly Congee to really warm up the belly. Inspired by chef’s Teochew roots, the bowl had a myriad of textures with fresh fish slices, dried shrimp lard, Sissoo spinach, and preserved plums. Familiar and hearty.

One of the best-selling dishes here at Honguo Noodles 💯, this collagen-rich Zhuang Yuan Mi Xian (Cross Bridge Vermicelli, $11.20++) is the best nourishing treat! 🌟

Their soup is double boiled for up to 5 hours with duck, chicken & pork parts, with a resulting clean & refreshing taste. 😊

For a sweet appetizer, the roasted Squash Gazpacho with Pistachio & Local Savory was very much a hit for me. The smooth gazpacho with the burst of sweetness from the tomatoes being balanced by the minty-tang of the locally grown savory and crunchy pistachios. And of course, championing "aesthetically filtered" produce to highlight the problem of unnecessary food wastage, the ingredients used were mostly too misshapen to be sold on shelves. 

With so much thought given to every tableware and ingredient that they use, Kausmo’s menu (6 courses| $75++) was a bit of a hit-and-miss for me - looking at their items alone. Loving their unique focus on promoting purposefulness and sourcing sustainability, I enjoyed the experience overall and the cozy space created within the intimate 16-seater establishment.

Starting strong, their Kausmo Flat Bread was perfectly doughy with a lovely crisp exterior that went superbly well with the side of savoury rillette as well as the herbaceous base of creamy Southern Wood Tzatziki. Slightly chewy yet fluffy, the house-made quick bread achieving that char from a really hot pan was such a plus as it added a great smokiness.

*Throwback
Act fast as the seasonal burger is down to the last few days, available till 28 February in limited quantity (20 portions) daily for dine-in only!

Loving this over-the-top Uni Ebi Burger ($28) from Wildfire, I enjoyed how everything came together - both taste and texture-wise. Think crunch from the panko-ed patty, the chew from the chunks of sweet sweet prawns hidden within, the creaminess of the uni, the softness of the toasted brioche buns, the savouriness of the squid ink aioli, and the slight tang from the tartar! Though as expected, when eaten together the other elements would kind of overpower the natural sweetness of the Bafun narabi uni. Hence, I would just take big bites off the top half with just the uni, bun, and bits of the hunky patty slathered in the aioli to really get the flavours of the ocean. The bottom half with the shredded lettuce and tartar would then balance out the richness. Overall, the quality was certainly there, the prawns were fresh-tasting and so was the delicate uni.

Nestled in an unassuming supermarket, this salad bar with in house seating was an unexpectedly cosy experience. The chicken salad and dessert set costs $11.60, and was half the price with the burrple app! The salad was fresh, crisp, full of flavour and had a generous portion size. There was a large variety of ingredients and toppings, and all made me feel really healthy hahah (The veggies are hydroponics with no pesticides!)The western dessert of chia seeds, granola and dried cranberries was gd too! Highly recommend❤

The noodles were chewy and the broth was spicy. The beef was mostly tendon tho. Will try their other noodle dishes next time!

I loved the seared scallop with mentaiko sauce side dish. Flavour of the beef bowl was nice but feel that there was too much fat on the outer rim of their beef slices. Kinda depletes the joy of eating it
