Masizzim located at 313@Somerset and Westgate, has introduced a NEW weekday lunch menu that is pretty affordable, starting from $10.90++ for a set.
For the Masizzim Lunch Sets, each includes a main course, a bowl of seaweed soup and two pieces of Korean pancakes.
The highlight to me is the Kimchi Fried Rice, which includes fragrant mixed-grain rice fried with kimchi for the slight spicy-tangy flavour within.
While most versions of fried rice come with egg fried within, the Masizzim Kimchi Fried Rice is served on a hotplate with rice in the middle surrounded by a ring of egg.

I never knew that honey mustard could go so perfectly well with eggs. It definitely lent a sweet note to the cheesy and buttery soft-scrambled interior. Achieving this utterly creamy texture must be no easy feat!
.
The Cheesy Rice ($9.80) was pretty scrumptious as well. The addition of nori not only imparted an interesting texture, it also made the kimchi rice deliciously fragrant. Served in a small hot stone pot, the rice retained its heat and bits of rice were even crispy towards the end.

The ANTicipated scale ⚖
👅Flavour: 8 ants
💰Value: 9 ants (with @Burpple Beyond app)
📍Convenience: 8 ants
Mac & cheese ($15.80)
It is one of the best cafes' Mac & cheese I've tasted! The sauce was rich but not cloying, and the macaroni was addictively chewy. The top of the dish was also seared to provide a smokey dimension to the dish. All I could ask for would be bacon instead of ham.
Clams in white wine sauce ($14.80)
The clams were sizable and juicy and went well with the garlicky white wine sauce. Note that the sauce has a noticeably bitter aftertaste though.

🤔: The gnocchi was chewy and paired well with the sauce. However, it didn't really wow my friend and I. Love that the vegetables in the dish had different textures, making the dish more multidimension.
One of my favourite dishes that we tried the other night at Skukuu Izakaya is this torched vinegared mackerel.
With a tender texture, one bite just wasn't enough and we quickly polished off every slice.

I prefer their branch at Central World because it is less crowded.
The balance between sweet, savory and the buttery fragrance.

Though a new player in the cocktail scene, its sheer dedication towards championing regionally sourced produce, liquor, and crafts already sets it apart from stiff competition. Hailing from bars the likes of Operation Dagger and Nutmeg & Clove, Vijay & team have brought both that finesse and experimental streak to Native's compact-but-solid cocktail list.
With much anticipation, I started the night with the most-talked about cocktail here: Antz ($23). It's not just a quirky moniker; you do get to enjoy the insect in your drink. Crunchy Thai weaver ants are served with basil meringue with a dash of bitters on a nitrogen-frozen basil leaf, while blended, locally foraged ants add a sour tang to the mix of Chalong Bay agricole rhum, aged sugarcane, coconut yoghurt, salt baked tapioca, and soursop, served in an ant hill-shaped ceramic cup made by a local potter. The result is a delicious, coconut-y drink that I would positively crawl back for.

There weren't many stalls open at the FC in the afternoon, so I settled for carrot cake from this stall. Interestingly, the chye poh is rather sweet and crunchy, instead of the more commonly used salty version. With a little Chili mixed in, and chunks of egg, it was a pretty decent plate of Chye Tow Kway for $2.50, although not outstanding in any way.
Good quality macha with a pleasantly bitter aftertaste. Doesn't need the azuki beans although its sweetness plays well with the mild-tasting mochi and translucent shiratama jelly. Thumbs up!!
