Unagi w mentai tamago ($22), snow crab pasta ($15) Unagi was quite small in portion. Mentai tamago combi is 👌🏻. Snow crab pasta taste like chilli crab sauce w lots of meat

Ok food for price (1 for 1) Ordered unagi fried rice - portion is small, unagi not visible but taste of unagi is evident. Seafood pasta came abit wet tasted abit more home cooked than restaurant style. Thought the oyster comes together with the seafood pasta but they claimed they served wrongly (and told me only when I was making payment) - suspect they do this with all tables who didn’t hit the min spending. Then say out of goodwill will give a 15% off for the 1 raw oyster. Overall, nice ambience but poor business ethics, won’t recommend

🐮 Gyuniku Shiogayaki Don ($18) They're pretty generous with the beef slices, which were pretty thinly cut and soft - except that they were q fatty so depends on your preference for meat. The sauce here was also much less compared to the Unatama don so it might be drier at some parts.

Chicken salad + grilled cheese food is mediocre 🥺 nothing special

Way too expensive for basics Service and table wait was amazing. Food wise mediocre. Literally scrambled eggs with toast for $16, top up pork sausage for 6, adding up to $22. Look at it. Normal pre packed, processed sausages I would say. Normal bread, not even sourdough. What can I say, basic and soulless food. A bit sad and disappointed and way too pricey. Mocha came in a tiny glass cup. Wasn’t tasty too. Ambience??, no ambience.

Reuben 17++ It's decent, everything was not too strong. There could have been more meat tho. The bread had a noteworthy hard crisp which reminded me of crispy waffles for some reason Overall expensive place and not worth it at all, food is decent but quite overhyped

$60+ Crab AMAZING experience here with value for money seafood! The auntie who took our order was super nice and recommended us the perfect size for two of us. The chilli crab sauce was a great blend of sweet and spicy, while the dong po belly and prawn in pumpkin sauce were outstanding as well. The mantou can be more crispy though, but maybe that's just personal preference. Definitely will recommend!

Har Cheong Gai Perennial zi char favourite har cheong gai was crispy on the outside while the meat retained the juiciness. The prawn paste flavour was not too overwhelming and no qualms about the wings.

Homemade Tofu with Golden Mushroom Braised tofu with conpoy, enoki mushrooms and nai bai. I like how the tofu is homemade and had a soft, silky texture. It helps that the sauce doesn’t overpower the flavour of the tofu and there are some greens on the side.

first and last I had their famous mentaiko pasta ($18), chips with truffled mayo ($7) , a very sinful choco banana nutty smoothie ($12) and choco earl grey cake. they're all amazing and i really had a good time there, gobbling all these food up but sadly, that's my first and also my last. hopefully they'll still retain their mentaiko pasta in the future, cause that's really hard to beat!

Visited Five & Dime earlier this week for lunch and reservation for both lunch and dinner were full this week! So we takeaway since we were already there. When I first visited them few years back, I fell in love with their mentaiko pasta and I am so glad that the taste remains the same! Good bye and thank you for being one of the pioneer!

Expecting Stronger Egg Yolk Taste But Met With Disappointment Finally got to try this but um, DIDN'T TASTE MUCH SALTED EGG YOLK. Granted, there was unmistakenly a teeny weeny whiff of the salted egg yolk and having the grainy texture asserts the fact that it is indeed, well, salted yolk but the taste was being overpowered by the chocolate that I wonder if the filling was a mixture of both. IT'S STILL GOOD, NEVERTHELESS. It's a pity that this is the first and last time I would get a taste of this.

Upscale Zichar Must try – Chilli Crab and Man Tou, US Black Angus Rib Eye Beef, “Heart Attack” Fried Rice, BBQ Kurobuta Pork Ribs, Hokkien Mee

A surprising sudden announcement yesterday that they had closed their main outlet at Hillview. Such a pity b’cos it was our only go-to outlet where the standards were good and consistent. Also enjoyed the laid-back surrounding with the greens beside the carpark building. Gonna be looking forward to where this shifts to for our favourite Hokkien prawn mee.

USA Beef Pair With Heart Attack Fried Rice As a saying goes, it takes 2 hands to clap and this phrase definitely tell the whole relationship of these pair. Thick slices of US beef was roasted to medium and paired it with New Ubin signature heart attack fried rice. A mouth of slightly chewy beef meat and another mouthful of nice fragance rice added another dimension to the taste. Though, i must say, the fried rice is a tad too oily because of the beef lad.

Great entry level omakase! 2nd time back at @teppei_japanese_restaurant for their Dinner Omakase ($100) and I'm glad to be impressed again! Their portions did seem like they reduced a bit, but their quality remains wonderful. We loved how there are a variety of different cooking methods, so that you won't get bored halfway through the course. Most if not all food items were fresh and well flavoured. Top dishes got to be their Miyazaki Beef, Negitoro Roll with Uni and Unagi Don. The beef was so tender and rich, the uni was just fantastically fresh and so full of umami and the unagi was satisfyingly crispy on the outside! Do not expect to be in a really posh environment, as the atmosphere here is similar to an izakaya bar. The chef does not really talk to you much except introducing the dishes as they were pretty much rushing around whipping up the different courses. That being said, the course does not seem rushed at all and I enjoyed all dishes at my own pace. Definitely worth a try, especially if you are new to the omakase scene!

Lunch with @paulynnlow at @teppei_japanese_restaurant. Teppei located at Orchid Hotel, is offering very value for money Don and sashimi for lunch. I ordered the Beef Tataki Kaisendon, using Japanese rice, the bowl full with ingredients like beef slices and sashimi. The beef is tender and the sashimi is fresh. 💰$17++. 📍Teppei. 1 Tras link #01-18 Orchid hotel. #shootoniphone

Dinner OMAKASE Dinner (S$110++) Serving seems to reduce especially for the main course.
