4/5 Avocado Sago 4/5 Yam Paste 4/5 <need to try avocado purple rice next time>

Red Bean Lotus I’m pretty sure many of us would drop by this dessert shop after having your meal around here. Since I got my dinner in Fortune Centre, so decided to grab some after meal dessert here. Went for something warm and comforting with their red bean lotus.

Lovely durian and orh ni dessert! If you are in need of some good desserts, @yatkayan is one place to go to satisfy your cravings. With a huge selection, we were spoilt for choice! After some deliberation, we settled with our favourite Orh Ni or Yam Paste ($5.80) and Cold MSW Durian Mousse ($7.80). The Yam Paste was very thick, rich and creamy, exactly how a good orh ni should be! It came with a good number of gingko nuts, great if you love them. I love how the coconut milk added extra creaminess and flavour, but this means that it can get surfeiting towards the end 😂 As for the durian mousse, this is definitely approved by the durian lover aka me. It was very rich and creamy, and I loved the huge slab of durian meat which was bittersweet! Quite a big portion for $7.80 and once again, better shared with others! My only nitpick is that it's not cold enough, wished that it was mixed with some crushed ice. With their quality dessert and huge selections, definitely coming back again!

Lamb Kebab And Chicken ~33 dollars one for one . Staff was nice to split dish into two. Very authentic ambience with mosaic tiles and Turkish lamb .

Lamb Kebab Really enjoyed this, good! Was part of the package of the dinner, and didn’t expect this to be so huge. The restaurant is really generous!

For 1-for-1 Main Dish (save ~$20) Around the corner of Arab Street, you'll find this restaurant of rustic Middle Eastern charm serving up Shish Kebabs and Shawarma Wraps! Order up their Signature Lamb Chops ($26), seasoned and grilled to a tender, juicy perfection and Chicken Kofta ($22). Other note-worthy dishes include the Shish Tauok ($22) - think grilled chicken chunks marinated with tangy yoghurt, rich spices andzesty lemon juice. Psst, you'll enjoy free desserts (Kunafa & Baklava) and mint tea with every redemption!

“Cacio & Pepe” & “Ham & Cheese” What a delicious mouthful, Chū and Co’s “Cacio & Pepe” ($9.50) had such a fun and tasty (tbh foolproof) combo - with slightly charred Japanese sweet corn, Camembert, Candied bacon and Pecorino cheese. The sweet-savoury toppings were truly the highlight for me but the dough acted as a great vessel as well. The base was relatively light, not all that dense or greasy. Felt pretty premium as I was surprised by the small edges of soft Camembert hidden under the strips of cured meat. I also got the “Ham & Cheese” ($9.50), crowned with sliced Sweet Potato, Honey Baked Ham and Brie de Meaux. Lacked that oomph for me but a great buy on a whole as well~

Coffee 💣! Coffee bombs are the best. Those friends who ate it love it 💪💪💪

Passion fruit kouign amann 7nett? PSA NO MORE moka kouign amann Passion fruit cream was pretty good, i havent had too many kouign amann, but this seems like a good rendition. The bite is not too much, it's very crispy outside, and theres a cake like texture as u chew, but very buttery so it gets jelat before you are done Not bad, can satisfying cravings. Thankfully the top wasnt too sticky, didnt really stick to our teeth

Mama Wee Hainanese Kou Rou Set Mama Wee Hainanese “Kou Rou” Set ($11.80) comes with braised pork belly, your choice of vegetables (Hainanese Stewed Vegetables or Heavenly Four), your choice of egg (Fried Egg or Long Bean Omelette) and rice. The pork belly is soft and savoury, and it goes very well with the rice drenched in a rich curry. The Heavenly Four consists of eggplant, long bean, lotus root and tofu stir fried in a fragrant and slightly spicy sauce - this is surprisingly tasty! Overall, the portion is generous and I enjoyed this more than I expected - what a hearty meal!

Gula Melaka Kaya Cheese Toast ($2.30++) w/ Soft Boiled Eggs ($2++) Usually avoid kaya & gula melaka stuffs but glad I tried this! Very fragrant but isn't too sweet, amt of spread given is just nice. Sweet & savoury with the cheese slice between. Bread was toasted perfectly with slight crispy exterior yet soft & fluffy inside. Perfect breakfast especially when dipped in the soft boiled eggs!

Nanyang Yam Orh Nee Swiss Roll- $3.70++ Smooth & fragrant yam paste with some shallot bits inside. Not too sweet as well👍🏻 great for tea time or breakfast with a cup of Kopi O Kosong.

overrated we had the CLASSIC W BUTTER ($5). super big, amazing crust but the bread was meh…butter made it better.

Champion Bolo Bun🥖 Went to Champion Bolo Bun 2 weeks ago and got their Classic with Butter ($5.55)😇 Overall ratings 8/10! Bun was pretty good and portion size was decent, just found it a little pricey😅 Would want to try other buns next time tho!

Classic ($4.50) Soft and pillowy with a buttery, crisp, crust. On the sweeter side, this bun was larger than expected and filled me up nicely. The crust could be crisper and I thought adding a slab of butter would be good, but overall I can see why queues form for this on weekends. Ample seating spread across 3 floors.

Unagi Don Slice of grilled freshwater eel glazed with eel sauce served on a bed of rice, onsen egg, red pickled ginger then topped with nori and white sesame seed. The eel was tender with slightly crisp skin. The addition of onsen egg adds creaminess to the bowl 》$19.90

Bara Chirashi Don A generous portion of sashimi cubes with a good selection of raw fish. The fishes were fresh and it also comes with salad and miso soup to complete the meal. It’s not the best but worth considering if you want somewhere decent and quiet to satisfy your donburi cravings 》$19.90

Nice setting and right portion E

Excellent Nonya Restaurant I had dinner at Chili Padi Nonya Restaurant on a Sunday night with my partner and her family. Chili Padi has been a household name for Nonya cuisine and has long been a staple in Joo Chiat, the epicenter of Singapore’s Peranakan scene. The restaurant recently completed renovations, which explains their contemporary Nonya décor, furniture, and fittings. The ambience is modern and clean, yet retains its authentic Peranakan personality. We ordered the chef-recommended Ngoh Hiang, Laksa Goreng, and Nonya Chap Chye, all of which were excellent. However, three dishes stood out as particularly special. First was the Sotong Hitam. The portion was generous, and the squid ink blended with spices paired perfectly with the firm and springy squid. Secondly, the Bak Wan Kepeting stood out with its clean yet flavor-packed soup and soft, delicious meatball. The highlight for me was the Buah Keluak gravy, a Nonya staple and their specialty. We chose the pork ribs option (they have chicken as well), and the ribs were cooked to perfection—soft and tender. The Buah Keluak sauce tasted authentic and had a unique flavor profile that is unparalleled in other cuisines. I highly recommend Chili Padi if you are looking for an exceptional Nonya dining experience with friends and family.

Durian Chendol $4.50 icy traditional dessert served with rice flour jelly, coconut milk, palm sugar syrup topped with durian puree

Mee Siam Goreng $8.80 fried vermicelli noodles with sambal, taucheo and assam gravy

Great experience pictured is The Homecoming, ($20ish) which was our fav cocktail of the night. the cloud was cotton candy, and the cocktail itself was not toooo sweet, and was reminiscent of chng tng. had a lovely time here and the rest of the food was good as well, but the cocktails really stood out. each cocktail is so unique - it’s like visiting a museum, before you consume each cocktail the server explains the backstory, inspiration, and ingredients. simply wonderful

Delicious cocktails with a local twist The cocktails were innovative and delicious, featuring creative twists on local flavors. The intimate atmosphere and tasteful decor added to the experience.

Unique take on cocktails The cocktails at Hopscotch were presented beautifully and tasted great along with unique takes on Singaporean flavours. The ribs was tender as well.

Vietnamese Fried Goreng Pisang First time trying Vietnamese Fried Goreng Pisang with ice cream. Great atmosphere and nice place to chill, though it closed on at 10pm on a Saturday night.

COM TAM Grilled pork chop on rice; meat is lean but very tough; well-marinated with no pork stench; rice is soft, not mushy; with egg & pickled veggies at the side..

BANH MI GA NUONG Baguette is very crispy outside, soft & fluffy inside; chicken is very tender, well-marinated & with slight smoky taste; no fats & skin; with lettuce, coriander, pickled cucumber, carrot & radish for added crunch & also to balance out the meatiness feel; worth a try..
