Have long been seeing Linoβs pizza making the rounds on my social media. Decided to put it to the test and paid them a visit using my Burpple Beyond deal and I must say, the Burrata Pizza deserved all the hype that it was getting!
The pizza crust was how I like them to be: thin. No one has time to get full on carbs so thin crust is the best way to go, also, you get the most bang for your buck π the pizza arrived with a ball of burrata placed atop a bed of marinated cherry tomatoes and tomato passata, where you got to break into it and spread that cold burrata over the warm pizza such that the cheese slowly melts and spread like the Red Sea. Despite the huge ball of burrata being spread out, youβd find it really light on the palate, and you wouldnβt feel jelak at all. The creaminess from the cheese serves as a good counterpoint to the tarty tomato base, making this a well loved pizza among customers, seeing as to how almost every table had this.
I'm back after 10 years. I know they've branched out but I still trust the HQ. I have mixed memories of this nasi lemak. When we had it after every Fright Night, it was damn shiok. Other times, it's very ordinary. This visit was no exception. The rice, chicken wing and egg were flat. At least the chilli was still good.
Really enjoyed their charcoal grilled whisky ribeye. The steak had a smoky taste to it while the meat was tender. The portion is also hearty while the salad worked well as a palate cleanser. Highly recommended to make reservation as we did not, but since we came around 6.15pm, slightly before most of the reservations at 7.30, we were given 1h+ to finish all our food, which was manageable, but I would have preferred a longer duration. Will be back, this time with a reservation!
There is a special Burpple Beyond menu that has a more limited selection of pastas, risottos and pizzas available for 1 for 1. The service is amazing as the staff are friendly and pleasant. We ordered the Tagliatelle with Pork Sausage in Mushroom Cream Sauce and Porcini Infused Mixed Mushrooms Risotto. Both were good but the risotto was better. Would recommend the risotto. Overall a really pleasant experience, would love to go back.
Highly recommend the two bowls we got - truffle beef bowl and unagi bowl! Ingredients and toppings were generous and rice was served piping hot. Will be back!
This place was packed on a weekday night when we went there. We ordered ribeye steaks and noticed that the sizes of steak given to each of us was not consistent. Only mine (pictured) seemed to be 250g, while the rest looked more like 200g. The steak itself was good and well executed, but the fries was passable with little to no truffle taste or aroma. The service was amazing as the staff were very attentive. One irk would have to be the loud edm music that made the whole place feel like a club instead of a more laid back place.
We ordered the Singapore style chilli prawns, hakka steamed tofu and chef joel's xo white fish soup. I would recommend the chilli prawns, particularly with the mantos, as the sauce was sweet yet slightly spicy. It was a very satisfying dish. The hakka steamed tofu was also not bad given that it was a lighter dish. However, I would pass on the xo white fish soup next time as I felt that it wasn't hot enough, making the soup's fishy taste slightly unbearable. Overall, I still enjoyed the food there and would be back if in the area.

π¬ The red paste was slightly spicy but still very much tolerable. I have seen somewhat good reviews about the broth and I was looking forward for the spice to cut through a thick and rich tonkotsu. However when I took a sip, I was kinda disappointed that it was neither. The tonkotsu broth that I had was leaning towards the milder side, which was rather surprising due to its dark colour. Ramen noodles also tasted a little bland, probably because of the aforementioned. The soup and noodles have to go hand in hand together, with each strand getting coated with flavour as you pull it up! The noodles most important role is to taxi the broth essence up into your mouth. But sadly, I felt that this couldn't. Now, the fatty pork bellies on the other hand were game-changing, with each slice being extremely tender and succulent. They had some nice char on them as well. Pretty much saved the bowl for me.
