Hakka Yong Tau Foo - $16
ยท
The dish comes selection of vegetables stuffed hakka-style with fish and pork, and served with savoury dip. Pairs well with their Ipoh Chee Cheong Fun ($12). The silky Ipoh-made Cheong Fun is served with fried beancurd skin and Ipoh Curry. Great place for catching up over food

Lunch at raffles on a weekend. Pretty gd noodle texture n when mixed w the chilli gives a gd kick! $8.50 for pan mee isnt exactly cheap though.
Part of their Strawberry Special! The matcha is not very obvious and taste just like normal french toasts haha! Loved the strawberry tho!
I find smashed avocado strangely alluring, and paired with the sweet cherry tomatoes, it tasted divine. Together with two eggs (runnier yolks, pls) and ciabatta, the ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ง' ๐๐ฏ๐จ ($17.70) from @apollocoffeebar was an amazing dish.
There's an option to add spicy chorizo (+ $5.40), and boy was I further amazed. One thick, huge chunk cut in half was added and this was truly a sensational meal. I'd love to eat here everyday, but the prices here are rather steep. Let me strike 4D first hor?

Jerry's bbq and grill w the classic spicy wings L3 fire plus ($13.95) pretty gd!
Hidden along the fringe of the CBD, newly opened Overworked Gastro Bar is a venue for all occasions! Serving hearty western-asian fusion dishes, you can come down for their all-day brunch over the weekends or on your day off or enjoy their value for money set lunches at $15.90 during your lunch break or unwind after work with their all-day Happy Hour starting from only $9.80 per pint.
We enjoyed the Plaster Seafood Rosti ($15), which is, as its name suggests, inspired by the plaster prata! Hidden inside the well seasoned rosti are quality ingredients like Vannamei Prawns and Norwegian smoked Salmon, you know you are getting value for your money. The rosti was also executed nicely, crisp on the outside yet soft and moist within, one of the better rosti that I have had.
We also tried the Johnny Nutmetto ($22) which is their take on a cold pasta dish. Brimming with seafood such as prawns, clams and seabass slices and tossed in Chef Johnny's secret sauce, this was pretty interesting.
The Moo Ping ($10) is a good dish to order if you are there to unwind over some beers. Savoury yet sweet tender, marinated pork that is grilled to perfection, it really pairs well with a pint or two or... ten!
The Beer Battered Seabass & Gratin ($15), which is available as part of their set lunch at only $15.90, including a soup and a drink is pretty well done too. Even though the Kelong Seabass in craft beer batter and served with salad had been left in the cold for a while before we dug in, the batter remains crisp and does not feel overly oily.
And to round off the meal, my preferred choice of poison is the Jing A Worker's Pale Ale Draught ($10.80/pint)
The other dishes we tried didn't impress us. The stewed chicken in 3 cups sauce (ไธๆฏ้ธก), chilli oil wanton (็บขๆฒนๆๆ) and xiao long bao were simply decent. The only dim sum item that stood out was the ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ก๐ซ๐จ๐จ๐ฆ ๐๐ก๐๐ซ ๐๐ข๐๐ฐ ๐๐๐จ. The bao, designed like a giant mushroom, was soft and fluffy, while the char siew fillings tasted excellent. (Swipe to the end for some bao breaking action.)
East Bistro deserves a return visit, especially for its highly-raved pao fan.
Another superlative dish was the ๐๐ฐ๐๐๐ญ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ค ๐๐ง ๐๐๐. Crispy on the outside, soft in the inside, and simultaneously hot and cold, this dish is pure genius. I found it a tad too sweet, but kids will definitely love it.
