Visited for the first time and tried their Shabu Shabu set. Top up to $45++ for their double portion meat and feels that the set is not value for money.
The Shabu Shabu and quality of ingredients are pretty average given the price we are paying. You're not actually getting a savings out from the set.
The famous crab egg roll was not as good as expected too. Not sure whether to give this place a second try for their iconic stew when there are so many better Korean food places in town.
The restaurant manager was grumpy. Wanted to use Burpple Beyond for the 1 for 1 main course and decided to try their Shabu Shabu set that's not valid in Beyond. We're aware that the Shabu Shabu set was not included in the Beyond.
However, he kept trying to make his point that makes the experience uncomfortable.
Officially my favourite lunch spot in CBD. This Green Goddess is vegan but it's damn awesome! Chanced upon this gem with nomnomby and love how tasty and fresh their salads are!
Feels like the ingredients are taken off the farm. Portion is small though or it could be because I'm a huge eater?
While it's not Tai Cheong, the egg tarts from Jia Mei Mian Bao (#01-43) have a crumbly crust with just the right thickness. I also like how generously filled each cup is with not-too-sweet custard.
I have been finding a really solid plate of hk-style chee cheong fun since the one at Tanglin Halt Food Centre closed down and I can safely say that I found it. The "skin" of the rolls is impressive enough with its silky smooth texture and ample thickness. They are sold with different ingredients filled inside namely char siew, prawns, mushrooms and chai po. I will definitely come back for this again! 😋
Fiery Spicy Chilli
What intrigued me what the “ Super Spicy” Words on the signboard.
What you ask for - you get. I haven’t had such a fiery chilli hot experience in a Long while 😅
The home made chilli complemented the fried prawn mee so well . Instead of the usual thick bee hoon , yi ji uses the thin bee hoon which I felt was a better choice because of how well it soaks up the prawn stock.
The fried noodles were so tasty and non greasy .
Also, this prawn mee was unique in a way that there was more squid than prawns 🍤 in the prawn mee . There was also some pieces of pork belly . A nice change from the usual fried prawn mee .
This was a good rendition . I will surely be back for more of the fiery chilli .
Do look out for this stall ( orange plates) because there is another similar looking stall along the same row but it didn’t quite look as good as this one 😀
The Porchetta is so caramelized and so crackling! The traditional stuffed Roman Schiacciata filled with gooeey creamy truffle mushroom and crispy crust is absolutely amazing!
The food here were generous, absolutely divine and affordable! Not forgetting they have at least Italian chefs, lots of hot Italian waiters, I'm already planning to visit again!

Once Upon a Thyme is one of those places I would go for fuss-free pasta on a budget — it's simple offerings somehow satisfies, especially when you are just looking for something to treat yourself without unnecessarily splurging at a hipster cafe.
Yes, the pasta is slightly past al-dente, but it doesn't really bother me here especially with that extremely fiery tomato cream — it's tangy and surprisingly bold in terms of spiciness; they never seem to hold back on the chili paid here so be ready to sweat it out while finishing the pasta here. Not forgetting those succulent, juicy chicken meatballs that adds a meaty, savoury flavour that completes the entire experience, it's one of those pasta I definitely wouldn't mind having if I am craving for a simple meal while alone thinking of what to eat for dinner around Clarke Quay.
Each mouthful of the popiah ($1.80) is bursting with flavours!
The popiah skin is freshly made, delightfully thin and tender. The highlight is the fried ‘mang kwang’ (turnip), when combined with other standard ingredients including lettuce, egg, the popiah looks simple, yet delicious and addictive!
Finally decided to try Jin Hua fish soup, known as the top 10 fish soup in Singapore, and was utterly disappointed. Ordered the Fish slice bee hoon ($5.50) with additional fish and veggies. The soup was creamy due to the added milk, but it was bland. Same goes for the fish slices and thick bee hoon were not tender too.
It maintains my sunny personality 😎
Flat white ($4.50) with an extra shot at @Drurylane keeps me Bright!

This has always been my wish list for many years! I love how ’zup zup’ Hokkien Mee, but the chilli sauce was not flavourful though. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
