Truffle Ramen (Dry) Signature Truffle Ramen (Dry) ($16.90) I didn't know what I should be order for lunch so I decided to try it out since I saw the article about this ramen store at orchard gateway. I would like to say that it's quite unique and special on that time when they introduced the ramen back on 2016 ? tbh orchard got too much food choice for overrated or even underrated but sometimes I didn't know what I should eat it already since today is my last day at matchalax. I'm not saying that it's not disappointed or expected on the dry truffle ramen but I felt that noodles was slightly dry and hard to chew through and also not much truffle taste? But it's not that creamy and milky texture as I expected that I did managed to eat ramen finish. I did like their charshu also in terms of thickness level and also soft texture.

kanshoku truffle ramen😋😋‼️‼️‼️ 🍜truffle ramen ($16.90) nice nutty truffle ramen with earthy flavours. they did nOT scrimp on those truffle slices. maybe that’s why there’s only 2 slices of char siu </3 HAHAH jokes. noodles are nice and springy !! neither too soft nor too al dente (like some places give rock hard noodles rip…). my friends and i agree that it’s almost reminiscent of angel hair pasta?? highlight is def the mellow creamy onsen egg which brings the flavours together. plus the truffle slices. lots of umami followed by what i believe is konbu sprinkles??? the char siu is p okayyy maybe 8/10 tastes like regular charsiu in ramen, a tad tender but not SUPER juicy. LOL but yo do yourself a favor and try this when you don’t know what to eat in orchard😋😋😌🤝

Black Garlic Ramen (+Egg) | $14.90 (+$2) This black garlic ramen was disappointing because of how bland the tonkotsu broth was. It also lacked the garlic punch I was looking for. You could add a ramen egg for $2, which I did. Despite the great texture of the egg, it unfortunately did not have much flavour. The quality and texture of Chashu was great though. Rate:🌟🌟

Hamburguesa loco - Seaweed coated with panko bread crumbs held the filling well with crunchiness, albeit being oily. - Each contained 2 thick wagyu patties which could be more seasoned on its own 🥩 - Covered with sliced cheddar and creamy special sauce which I felt could be a bit too much, but the grilled onions and sweet relish on top added a slight tartness to make it less surfeiting.

𝗛𝗮𝗺𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗮 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗼! ($𝟭𝟰 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝟮, $𝟭𝟵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝟯) This dish featured deep-fried seaweed tacos that were loaded and glistening with juices from the beef. We loved the idea of a seaweed taco because of the salty umami flavours that made it stand out from the usual. The tacos were crispy and crunchy (though it did get greasy a few bites in), and the wagyu beef was SO juicy. The cheddar, relish, onions, and secret sauce all came together like the fillings of a darn good burger!

𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗸𝗼 𝗟𝗼𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗱 𝗧𝘄𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 ($𝟭𝟳.𝟵𝟬) The idea of lobster salad on top of fries was intriguing and we decided to gice it a try! The lobster salad was creamy, delightful, and refreshing - it was an apt contrast to the crispy starchy twister fries. There were chunks of lobster mixed in a mentaiko salad sauce which was not jelat at all. . We love Tanuki Raw’s sashimi and rice bowls, and love how they’ve expanded their menu to include more items over the years. Deep-fried seaweed tacos was a first for us but definitely would not be our last!

Chicken Rice A chicken rice set comes with dumpling soup. 3 succulent dumplings filled with prawn and minced meat in the soup. The chicken is good, especially the roast one, very fragrant. (S$7 - 1 pax)

Steamed Chicken Rice from Wee Nam Kee! A little pricier than other chicken rice, but the amount of chicken is very generous! The rice is also incredibly fragrant and nice on its own. Price: $4.80 #halfeatenblog #weenamkee #chickenrice #burpple

Claypot Tofu with Black Bean Sauce Nice and comforting I prefer the black bean sauce in Jakarta as it has less of the sour-y flavor but this one is okay All comes back to your preferences!

Swopping out michelin noodle Noodles where the feature is the pork belly or char siew is lost on me cos I don’t eat those. They kindly swopped out the pork for me today!

a noodle story i didn’t intend to come here for dinner but saw they had a promotion so i dropped by… and it ended up BLOWING MY MIND. noodles were very springy, and i enjoyed every single thing in that bowl - the egg, the soft chashu that is so soft it practically dissolves in your mouth, the ngoh hiang, fried wanton… and the wanton soup was great to cleanse my palate at the end. they had an outlet at guoco tower but it has closed unfortunately :( but so delicious 8/10!

Singapore Style Ramen | $12.90 The noodles were nicely tossed this time round with its melt in the mouth pork belly. The ngoh hiang is extremely flavourful but felt that it was a little too salty today.

HANDS DOWN FAV French toast 🍞 📍Clarke Quay u know it’s good when u nearly cried after finding out it closed down 😭😭😭 just wanna do a review anyway for the memories they have sweet & savory options for the French toast; I’ve tried both. The sweet one comes with lots of berries, the savory one has BACON STRIPS and yes I prefer the savory French toast! The bacon went really well with the sweetness of the maple syrup AND the toast itself was super fluffy and warm with a slight crisp on the outside. an absolute masterpiece. I’m honestly so sad it closed down 😭

Every So Often I come to ronin every so often (as the title indicates) and it’s kinda a hit and miss with the scrambled eggs. I used to think the scrambled eggs were like the best in Singapore because it was runny like the Gordon ramsay style (if you know you know). But these days, it’s only like that half the time. Mushroom, bread and drinks are still good tho.

Savoury French Toast Although its called Savoury French Toast, its more of a sweet and salty meal. The toast with butter and syrup is so yummy I wouldn’t mind if they just gave me more of that. At first I found the braised apple kinda weird, but it cuts through the oily and saltiness of the bacon so it becomes a cycle of sweet and salty which is nice.

Just Salmon Such a pretty dish! I had to take pictures of it from every angle! Salmon with giant Israeli couscous. The salmon was well paired with the brown butter miso sauce! Healthy and light. Order a Muddy espresso with cold milk to complete the meal.

Squid Ink Fried Rice Slightly spicy with two soft shell crabs and crispy fried fish cubes. I enjoyed it. The soft shell crabs were fresh. I didn't expect the crabs as the menu stated, battered squid. I didn't expect the rice to be spicy but it gave the dish an extra kick! Best part was, my teeth didn't turn black from the squid ink 😬

For Reliable Brunch and Coffee in the East No stranger to Easties, this popular joint located on the second floor of Tampines West CC is heralded for consistent, quality brunch offerings. Visit on the weekends for the tried and tested Butcher's Daughter ($16) – excellent medium rare seared sous vide beef alongside creamy scrambled eggs. For something light, the Dashi Noodles ($8.90) in a bonito broth with pulled chicken and onsen egg should do the trick. Get the aromatic Muddy Espresso ($5.50) with cold milk to finish. *Muslim-owned Photo by Burppler Hui Min Ong

What a pity that we came slightly late as they have sold out all of their desserts except the Mochi Donut ($12). Fortunately, this happens to be one of our favourites with the crispy exterior, chewy texture of the mochi donut with the earl grey ice cream. A perfect pairing of hot and cold. •••••••••••••••••••• 📍Brotherbird Coffeehouse 32 Bali Lane, Singapore 189868

Review: Stateland Cafe (Part 3/3) Finally knew why the Earl Grey Bursts with Softserve [$15] is highly recommended. The mochi balls are soooooo good. It’s a good pairing between the hot mochi balls and cold softserve. Have chosen cookie butter over taro softserve as recommended by the staff and it doesn’t disappoint! It’s a pity this is the last time I can enjoy this dessert since the cafe is closing down :/

Review: Stateland Cafe (Part 2/3) Wanted to try the Herbal Duck Confit Risotto but was told that the cafe is not serving this dish today BUT somehow saw another diner eating it so uhh.. Anyway, decided to try the Hainanese Chicken Rice Risotto [$19] instead since it is one of the recommended dishes and it is okay lo. A unique fusion but would appreciate if there is more rice 😅
