From the Burpple community

Safra card won’t get you anymore discounts with burpple, but there’s still the 10% if you’re buying ala carte, like drinks. Ambience was more for eating with family and friends. Had a meal for 4 with my friends and we liked the price with burpple!

Not quite sure if its because
1. i did a takeaway, packaged food always dont look as good as eating on the spot;
2. i did a burpple beyond discount (2for1), so the pasta also discounted in ingredients;
3. times are bad during covid and everyone is struggling;

This certainly dont seem to cost 16.9 usual price for an aglio olio pasta. Even at 1for1 i felt abit disappointed with this. :')

Ordered prawn creamy pasta and chicken chop. Pasta too soft and tasted like Maggie, just like canteen food. Maggie taste was overwhelming. Prawn is tasteless. Overall disappointing.

Chicken chop was decent. Tasted nice with charred surface but thin for the price.

Aircon spoilt hence a noisy and unsightly makeshift aircon in the middle of the cafe. Noisy from the adjoining fun dazzle hence not a nice ambience.

Just for eat and go.

I may not have the 5Cs, but I got 3Cs at @grumpybearsg. That’s right, the Cheesy Chicken Chop, which goes for $15.90. The common cajun chicken chop gets completely cheesed on with a deluge of nacho cheese, before a slice of white cheddar is plopped on top of it all and melted.⠀
⠀
It certainly isn’t revolutionary, it’s just cheese and more cheese on a hefty chicken chop. Perfect for most cheeseheads out there, no doubt. However, I do wish that they would’ve used shredded mozzarella instead as mozzarella melts much better than cheddar does, and the moz is the one that delivers on your #cheesepull needs.⠀

Thanks for the invite, @grumpybearsg!

Remember how I said that it’s hard to make a chicken chop stand out from the competition? Well, @grumpybearsg Nasi Lemak Chicken does all that and more with its scintillating spice rub.⠀
⠀
Unlike the other chicken chops, the Nasi Lemak Chicken is served with herb rice instead of mashed potatoes. This does make the Nasi Lemak tag false advertising, as the rice isn’t cooked with coconut milk. Instead, it should be more accurately renamed as the Satay Chicken Chop.⠀
⠀
The stellar spice mix that was thoroughly marinated into the sizeable chicken fillet tastes very much like chicken satay from a reputable hawker stall. Even though the chicken was oven baked, I’m pretty sure I tasted a bit of smokiness on it, and there’s even a few spots of charming char on the skin of the chicken. The sambal chili on the side is downright delightful as well, with the salty, spicy chili paste being accentuated well with a subtle sweetness. ⠀
⠀
I certainly hope that this local special stays as a permanent menu option, as it is easily the most exciting & outstanding chicken chop option on the menu. It’s $18.90, which is about the standard price for a main course in a café, and it’s more than reasonable for a delicious dish that’s quite outstanding.⠀

Thanks for hosting us @grumpybearsg!

In all honesty, it’s hard to make a chicken chop unique or particularly outstanding from the competition. Chicken is the most ubiquitous protein, and chicken chop is the most common meat centric dish there is in Singapore.⠀
⠀
Still, that didn’t stop @grumpybearsg from giving it the good ol’ college try. The cajun chicken chop is a decently big bird, and it’s marinated adequately with a mildly spicy and slightly smoky cajun seasoning in additional to the base of salt & pepper. It does get a little thin in some spots, but it still maintains its #juicy status. The side of mashed spuds are silky smooth and brilliantly buttery, while the (surprisingly) excellently dressed salad makes this a healthy and perfectly balanced meal.⠀
⠀
It doesn’t do anything particularly mindblowing, but at the same time, it certainly doesn’t do anything awful either. It’s definitely decent, but at $14.90, it’s a very hard sell. The jury’s out on this one, but the chicken is in. My stomach, that is.⠀

Thanks for hosting us @grumpybearsg!
