Cheese Melt? ($15) . . Of course this is NOT a cheese Melt. Crispy skin, savory cheese and acidic tomato. Not bad for finger food but for $15, they could at least provide some greens on the side.

French Onion Cheese ($12) . . From my fellow foodie friend, they made everything from scrap, the amount of utility bill invested into this bowl of soup might be more than its food cost. 😂 . . In order for the max enjoyment, you must allow the bread to fully soaked up the soup. The salty sweet and springy cheese were such a comfort.

Burrata Salad (50% off on Tuesdays, UP: $15). This is a deal not to be missed especially if you stay nearby. It's only $7.50 after discount, and this isn't just another salad with cheese. It's Burrata from Cheese Artisan, which started off as a wholesale supplier of artisanal cheeses. 🔸 Besides great artisanal cheeses and wine, they also serve a hot food menu that includes Japanese risotto with Unagi, Truffle Mac & Cheese, Chicken Skin Crisp (superb, must order lots of it!), and US Ribeye. 🔸 The Mozzarella Salad is also going for 50% off on Tuesdays (UP: $13). 🔸 [Hosted]

Regular bowl $10.9. This was a takeout outlet (no seats). Have been wanting to try this for the longest time! Hmm it was not bad, portion is big, overall q tasty. But only can choose 3 sides, and need to pay more for my usual goto items such as mushroom, spinach, and non-chicken meat items. So for someone who has a lower budget (ie me), maybe not the best option haha. But gotta say the chicken breast tasted surprisingly good

For Massive Portions of Salads What started out as a single takeaway stall in the basement of Chevron House is now a chain salad stop for office workers in the CBD, with two other outlets in Republic Plaza and The Sail. The Chevron House outlet remains the same as we remembered it to be, with its signature crispy skin Salmon (add $2) as its best-selling protein, while Republic Plaza dishes out more Asian-influenced items like Sukiyaki Beef (add $1.50), Peppered Smoked Duck (add $1.50) and the well-marinated Lemongrass Chicken Thigh. We are told by the staff that the salad offerings at The Sail is similar to the one at Chevron House. Each box comes with one carb, three toppings, one dressing and your choice of protein ($9.90 for one protein, $12.90 for two, $15.90 for three). We like how crazy hearty the salads are, and appreciate that they offer more unique bases like Barley Rice and Sweet Potatoes. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable and the quality is consistently good, making this a go-to spot for fitspos in the area. Pro tip: Consider sharing a medium-sized salad with a colleague, or save half for dinner! Avg Price: $10 per person Photo by Burppler Muriel A

Medium (2 proteins + 3 toppings + 1 dressing; $12.90) Omnivore’s outlet at Republic Plaza (Tower 2, #01-13) has a slightly more Asian-inspired menu, while maintaining the same pricing and ridiculously massive portions. We tried five proteins and the Lemongrass Chicken Thigh and Peppered Smoked Duck (+$1.50; so worth it, you get the WHOLE breast fillet) came out on top for me. The Sukiyaki Beef (+$1.50) sounded promising but the poaching liquid was flat and there were some parts that were a little too chewy. We opted for the carbs that were unique to this outlet like the Cha Soba and Turmeric Raisin Rice. The former's a little overcooked while the latter's wayyy too filling. From the toppings department, the Spiced Apple (green apples in kimchi marinade), seasoned tomatoes and super tasty Hanjuku Egg (GET THIS!) were delish. As for the dressings, I really liked the bright and nutty Chinese Pesto the most. Apparently they have a third outlet at The Sail and I'm curious to find out how different the menu is.

𝐏𝐔𝐌𝐏𝐊𝐈𝐍 𝐏𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐀𝐊𝐄 ($𝟐𝟐) A lovely adaptation of an eggs royale.🍳🥞 Warmly spiced with cinnamon, the addition of pumpkin into the batter gave it a texture that is less fluffy but more moist! Many places do their hollandaise overly sour or heavy, but this had the right amount of cream, with its brightness peeping from pops of tobiko✨

Poached Eggs on Toast ($19) Start off your Sunday with this good brunch dish. Two poached eggs on top of a thick white toast, smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce Loved the dish - didn’t think it would be filling, but the thick toast, albeit having a slightly tough crust, contributed a lot to it lol Egg is flowy as how it should be, pairing really nicely with the smoked salmon and the generous hollandaise sauce ——— 📍 Group Therapy Coffee - Cross Street Exchange 181 South Bridge Rd, 01-05 & K1-04, Singapore 058743 #burpplesg #grouptherapy

ice matcha latte drink ⭐️⭐️/5 nth special bout the matcha, felt like the matcha didn’t blend well with the milk. but, still drinkable. not rly worth for $8++ drink tho. 😶‍🌫️

gelato tasting (hay gelato) did you know hay gelato is branched from brine? you can try their blue pea and vanilla sweet cream as dessert at Brine!

chicken with glutinous rice interesting play to classic chicken rice 🐓 worth trying!!!! one of the top few innovative hawker recreation dish that i tried, no regrets getting it as your main using burpple 1 for 1❤️

KNIFE CUT NOODLES WITH BUTTERED CRAB my favorite dish of the burpple beyond set special ($98)❤️ rich in unami flavor from the generous amount of crab meat topped with ikura and seasoned with scallion oil 🤯🤩✨ i could have another portion.

Lox $17.30 smoked salmon, onions, scallion cream cheese, capers, tomatoes, lemon juice, all-sorts bagel

B.S.M ($17.50) Top up with hashbrown for $2. I love that they were generous with the cheese, look at that cheese pull. The bagel wasnt hard and the sesame topping make it crispy. The scrambled eggs were well done. The patty was a bit sour, but not bad. The hashbrown was still crispy, definitely recommend to add it.

Stacked $19.50 double angus beef patty, double gouda, fried onion rings, romaine, charred onions, house bbq sauce, sesame bagel (one day outlet-exclusive burgel - 4 June)

Wagyu don Portion size is alright. Food tastes good

mains! honestly this place is very meh, wont recommend! food is quite mediocre and staff was just on his laptop constantly! feels like microwaved food

$30 nett For Two Don Set Popped by Gyunami for lunch with my friend, and the standard of their Signature wagyu roast beef don is still as good as when I had it 2 years back! Portion size may look small but underneath the slices of tender wagyu roast beef, there’s a lot of rice. The highlight is definitely the thin slices of wagyu roast beef. It’s super tender, perfectly medium rare and goes very well with everything! Gotta appreciate the artful arrangement of the meat slices on top of the rice too 💯 The set comes with complimentary miso soup – taste was okay, nothing too extraordinary. There’s not much lunch crowd on weekdays so you don’t have to queue 😊

Carnivore Pizza 🍕6/10, Quattro Formaggi Pizza 🍕 6/10 This cozy Italian place is tucked away in a residential area in Chu Lin road (Hillview is the nearest MRT station) but don't turn your nose up at its homely location. The food here is quite authentic and the ambience is simple but is a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle of restaurants in crowded malls. I forgot the prices here but all the dishes and pizza were around $20++ -- decent but a bit pricey for some items. Carnivore Pizza 🍕6/10 This pizza had salami, ham, and homemade pork sausage as its toppings -- lots of spices in the cured meats! I found the crust crisp and airy with a delicious smokey flavour from being freshly baked. Quattro Formaggi Pizza 🍕 6/10 This pizza had mozzarella, taleggio, parmesan, and gorgonzola on it. In addition to its tasty crust, I found this lacking a pungent cheese taste. It tasted a bit... flat and not chewy enough? I think this would suit tastebuds which prefer milder cheeses.

Tagliatelle al Tartufo 🍜 8/10 The thick, creamy sauce had hints of truffle in it and went so well with the scallops, prawn, and egg tagiatelle. Truffle and cream is just a match made in heaven.

Gnocchi 🥟 6/10 The potato gnocchi with creamy cheese sauce tasted almost milky. The inside of the gnocchi was chewy but not too doughy, which I preferred. Other than that, this is a bit of a plain dish.

First Time Trying Halal Dim sum Service was good ... just felt that it was overpriced $70++ including wanton noodles and chicken Hor fun ..

For Dim Sum in the West Located on the ground floor of 321 Clementi, Kowloon Express is casual and laidback, like most Hong Kong inspired cha chan tengs, so feel free to rock up in shorts and flip flops. Our advice is to skip the heavy carbs like noodles and rice, and focus on the dim sum selection. You won't go wrong with classics like the Shrimp Har Kow ($4.20 for a basket of four), but make sure you save space for their buns. The Chilli Crab Pau ($4.50 for a basket of three) boasts a very tasty chilli crab filling, while the signature Charcoal Salted Egg Custard Pau (S$4.50 for a basket of three) is fluffy and holds a oozy centre of molten salted egg lava. Yum! Pro tip: Get 15% off your total bill when you visit between 2 to 5pm on weekdays. Avg price: $15 per person *Muslim owned Photo by Burppler Celestia Chua

HALAL DIM SUM I would say i will go again for the custbard bun especially charcoal bun but not for the siew mai and haw kar ! It is a good shoot at mouth of a little bit of salty charcoal bun ! YUMMY! Haw Kar skin was thick and siew mai as out from expectation.

Oil, Oil, Oil, With A Dash Of Cafe Food [ Café Food Review — Aesthetic =/= Quality ] It’s rare for me to order in food at home — not a fan of the unnecessary waste generated + no to lukewarm food — but unfortunately, it really is the only viable option on some days. If I do order, it’s normally via Deliveroo. The delivery costs are cheaper, their discounts tend to be better (but for a small group of brands), and it means I don’t have to support Grab, yay! And that is how I ended up with the order of Buttercake N Cream’s All Day Magical Set (25% off) ft. Chef’s Roasted Half (Spring) Chicken + Caesar Salad side + Peach Sparkler for $14.18, and a side of Chicken Nuggets for $7 because yours truly can’t say no to nuggets. Here’s the only summary you need: If I’d been at the café, I’d have sent almost everything back. Which was an unpleasant discovery for me because apparently BnC has been voted as a great spot for food (then again, said vote is from a local forum), and takes pride in not just fostering a conducive ambience, but its gastronomical creations too. Apparently. The frustrating thing is the food didn’t have to be horrible! I could taste the effort in balancing the flavours. For e.g., the spring chicken was honestly not bad — it was seasoned decently, with variations in herbs and condiments. So what’s the problem then? Everything was d r e n c h e d in oil. And if it didn’t need oil, sauce. No matter how good whatever I picked up was, it was absolutely ruined by the viscous sheen of oil that seeped and clung to every damn thing. The fragrance of the potato? Stifled by the oil. The crisp of the nuggets? Sodden by the oil. The salad then? Inundated by dressing. Now remember how I have horrible oil sensitivity? Add two and two together, and bam, guess who was rendered virtually incapacitated for the better part of my lunch. The silver lining? At least I’m home with access to all my meds. Oh, and the drink wasn’t bad I guess. Not too sweet but lacking in body; but hey, it did wonders in washing the deluge of oil from my mouth. Worst item of the day? The nuggets. Bland, limp, and drowning in enough oil to risk a USA invasion. Best? The taro pie from Burger King my dad (thankfully) got for me.

Grilled Chicken And Sausage ($16.90) The chicken was fairly generous and tender and tasted delicious with the mushroom sauce. The sausage wasn’t the best, but it was okay. The mushrooms were tasty and the rosti was... weird. More like fried mashed potatoes with vegetables (to be fair, my idea of a rosti is the Marche kind)

Pita Bread Fried with Beef and Mutton From Huang Tu Di Xi An Delights 牛羊肉 小炒泡馍 Hearty, flavorful soup with tender beef cubes and mutton cubes; bits of fried pita bread adds a satisfying textural contrast. A comforting, meaty delight.
