Perfection. I would say the dimensions of flavours in this one blew my mind. The cream cheese evened out the salty smoked salmon. While the pickled onions added some zing. This was further heightened with the addition of capers and dill. Lastly we have a slice of tomato to refresh your palate before you take another bite. I exaggerated a little but the experience was definitely this enjoyable. Haha.
Springleaf Prata Place is in my opinion, on another level with their food. Take their Chicken Murtabak for example. Aesthetically a design lover’s dream, it fits perfectly on the silver tray it is served on. Such precision creates a modern graphic look which is an interesting contrast to a very traditional dish.
In terms of taste, I think the Murtabak is good as the dough itself is very thin and fried to a glorious golden-brown crisp. The minced chicken filling though can be a tad dry but once curry is splashed on, it is no longer an issue. Especially since Springleaf Prata Place does a most excellent fish curry that’s aromatic and thick. Another plus point? It is free-flow.
I have long loved fresh green chilli in my Prata and Murtabak, so I pay extra for some to be thrown in. If you are keen to have a fruity brightness and heat cutting through, I recommend giving it a go.
The TMBH at Novena is more specialised in their smoked affair. Customised my bagel this time. I had the smoked brisket and sunny side nestled between 2 toasty sesame bagel halves. Texture was great. But brisket was on the bland side. I should have thrown in some cheddar or bacon to bring out more flavours. Get their house ready bagels instead of customising (if you’re as bad as me haha). They add in sauces for those and it will make all the difference. Amazing chill vibes with the alfresco dining style.

"Te Kar" Been Hoon $12.80
BBQ Pork jowl $14.80
Ugly Cabbage $ 9.80
Mee kia $11.80
Crowded at 11pm on a Saturday, and after tasting the food we truly know why. The Mee Kia and Pork Jowl really wow-ed us. The Pork Jowl was tender and flavourful, sweetness and charred taste was well balanced. The Thai style sauce gave it the final kick. The Mee kia is a "upgraded" version, not only the more premium ingredients like the pork jowls, runny egg and crab meat but even the noodles were tangy and well mixed with
a pleasant tint of wok hey.Ugly cabbage was crunchy but a bit oily. "Te kar" been hoon gave me the homey feel, feels like something that can improve my appetite when I am sick. Though the dishes are on the pricey side, with the quality is definitely worth it. One more place added to my favourite supper list!

Super fragrant and savoury and wow this kinda blew my mind away! Haven’t had such nice risotto in ages!
The lemon taste might be a little overwhelming to some but it was a refreshing taste that kinda “opened our stomachs” to the other dish haha.
The tuna didn’t shout out to me unfortunately but it provided a good bite to the rice.
Recommended too!!
Petit Banana and Blueberry Pancakes (~$13): Fluffy pancakes filled with bits of banana and blueberries were tasty, and made sweeter with the litter of berries 🍓🍇 Thought the Butterscotch sauce was a bit of an overkill though, since this plate leaned more towards the fruity/light side with the fruits and vanilla ricotta 🥞 Nonetheless this made an amazing brunchy-desserty item, light, fluffy and hitting all the right spots .

Slightly on the small side and not as flavourful as I’d have liked it to be, but the Grilled Maine Lobster (~$60) was a sight for sore eyes. The bright red sauce by the side added a tangy flavour to the lobster, saving it from being too bland 😋 What filled me up was actually the barley and corn risotto though, thick and mushy. .
