Orange Espresso ($6.50) At this void deck café with alfresco seating, Brew & Co. serves up coffee that’s perfect for a leisurely coffee break. My recent visit, however, was slightly ruined by ongoing construction nearby, but I managed to enjoy a quick sip to recharge. Their Orange Espresso is a refreshing blend where sweet citrusy orange juice makes up about 90% of the drink, topped with a shot of espresso. The intriguing combination of two acidic flavours, coffee and orange, somehow harmonises without becoming overly sour. I’m curious if anyone can explain the science behind this beautiful pairing! In terms of flavour, the drink strikes a balance between mild bitterness and moderate sweetness, leaning more towards a juice-like profile than a traditional coffee experience. It’s not the best I’ve had, but definitely not the worst, just a decent option for a warm day. . 🚩Brew & Co. , 716 Ang Mo Kio Ave 6, 01-4030, Singapore 560716 . . . #mehmehfoodventure #mehlicious #tastisfying #foodie #sgfoodie #sgfoodblogger #foodblogger #foodblog #foodcoma #burpple #burpplesg #sgfood #foodsg #eatmoresg #foodinsing #sgeats #sgcafe #cafesg #brewandco #orangeespresso #espresso #coffee

Ice latte Not too dilute and creamy.. overall not bad

Flat White Nice aroma and not acidic

Closed liao Closed liao. Went past 2 times lights are on but no staff. Now no staff no lights. Sign board covered.

W Signature White Letdown Their açai is good, got enough toppings and worth the price especially with 1-for-1! Decided to pair it with their coffee but wow this is the most undrinkable cup of iced joe I’ve had 🤮. It’s sooooo watered down. Even a vending machine can serve better iced coffee. I think might be better to pair with a tea next time. So learn from my mistake

White Collar & Cookie Monster Redeemed the 1 for 1 deal and was surprised when the seller allowed us to redeem it without getting a drink (i.e. 1 for 1 acai with the drink being optional). Total was $9.80 nett for two M acai bowls. I preferred the cookie monster better out of the two due to the ingredients and cookie butter. However, seems like the quality used to be better when they were located at Singpost. Not sure if it was because the acai was left at the counter for a few minutes (since we were told to return in 5mins without being given a buzzer) but the acai was not really icy. A friend commented that it didn't seem fresh as well. But given the 1 for 1 promo, its still very worth it and would return again.

Yummy Cantonese congee Mui Kee is a culinary gem that specializes in Cantonese porridge. While their porridge dishes are undoubtedly the stars of the show, their claypot creations are equally impressive. The porridge itself is a work of art. It's smooth, creamy, and flavorful, with a delicate balance of savory and subtle sweetness. I particularly enjoyed the century egg porridge, which was incredibly comforting and satisfying. The century egg added a unique depth of flavor that complemented the porridge perfectly. We did try the claypot frog leg and claypot beef brisket, both of which were absolutely delicious. The frog legs were cooked to perfection, with the meat tender and juicy. The sauce was a savory blend of spices that complemented the frog legs perfectly. The claypot beef brisket was also excellent, with the beef soft and tender. The sauce was rich and flavorful, with a hint of sweetness.

Congee with Homemade Pork Meatballs & Sliced Garoupa Very long never eat this. Still a notch above generic porridges. Fragrant congee, fresh fish, large crunchy meatballs I'm guessing have cartilage or tendon.

Hand in hand Very good xiao long bao. Pet friendly outside

XLB This place has the best XLB for me . The menu is extensive . Their chilli is awesome, all the usual lamien / steam & pan fried dumpling dishes are delicious and it’s very reasonably priced . I’m not going to DTF or IT anymore . This place is my new to go for authentic northern Chinese food

Hand in Hand Beijing Restaurant Type: Restaurant/Chinese Been here several times already and the food is always consistently good. Super tasty too. They also have private rooms upstairs which is great as we love to bring guests or friends here to enjoy the food. Recommend! My rating: 5/5 ⭐️

KPO Cafe Bar 3.75⭐ Opt for asian delights at KPO. Came without expectation and was surprised that food is not bad though. The hokkien mee is full of pork belly, squid and prawn. The nasi lemak comes with grilled prawn, otah, fried chicken, ikan bilis and sunny side up. However the price is double the price of hawker food even after using the burpple deal. #KPOCafeBar #HokkienMee #NasiLemak #BurppleBeyond

Garlic Butter Prawn, Chicken Wings 10 Pc Both dishes were good! 8 pc of prawns & 10 pc of chicken

Minced Meat Noodle Situated at the back of the food centre, a one man show preparing all the foods here. I actually like the bowl he used, which is so bright and attractive to me. Generous ingredients even for the smaller size.

One of the stalls I like at Jalan Batu Hawker Centre. Singapore has more than a fair share of famous hawker stalls. Emblazoned with a Michelin Star, multiple award decals etc. they appear on nearly every tourist’s must-visit lists and command a neverending queue. As good or very good as most of their dishes are, I do think it’s important to venture beyond and give other stalls a try. Exploring is a gamble but once in a while, you can unearth gems like I did with this one at Jalan Batu Hawker Centre back in November 2020. I wouldn’t say it is fantastic but the noodles by this young hawker are definitely above average. Been quite a frequent customer since that first visit. Besides the hawker’s great attitude and energy, I like his Dry Mee Sua and Dry Mee Tai Mak which come with minced pork, fishballs, crispy ikan bilis and crunchy cubes of fresh pork lard. I alternate between the two and these days, my standard order for them is “white” - that is, without sambal (prefer to get the kick of heat from throwing in sliced chilli padi) and with extra beansprouts and minced meat. As for black vinegar, well, it depends on my mood that day 😊

Signature Mee Sua ($3) More than decent bowl with minced pork, fish balls, slices of fish cake, crispy ikan bilis and plenty of beansprouts. I like that the Mee Sua isn’t overcooked either. Ordered it spicy and it came tossed in a good balance of sambal chilli and black vinegar. I even found a few cubes of crunchy pork lard in there.

Grab that bread If you’re a bread lover, then the name “Bread Yard” should be a familiar one! Located in Buona Vista, they serve generous portions of food. The only downside is that you have to arrive early before all the bread gets bought up! I ordered their Shakshuka, a spiced tomato stew served with beef kofta kebab, feta cheese, eggs, sumac onions, pesto, and brioche. The spice level is very manageable for me, and this dish is rich in flavor, pairing well with their brioche. We also tried their brunch classic, the Full English - Farmer’s sausage, bacon, eggs, beans, roasted tomatoes and mushrooms, brioche, honey thyme butter. It’s manageable for one person to finish. Overall, the cafe can be a bit cramped due to its size, and there might not be available seats or food if you arrive too late after the morning rush. Rating: Drool: 3/5 Price: $25 per person (includes drinks) Location: @breadyard Follow @foodytiff for more 🥢

Bread Yard🍝 Went to Bread Yard today and ordered their Mentaiko Pasta ($12), Pulled Pork Eggs Benedict ($16), French Fries ($6), and their Mushroom Truffle Alfredo ($16)!😇 Overall ratings 3/10! Honestly, the Mentaiko pasta was wayyyy too fishy for me even though i'm a mentaiko lover... (not gonna lie I am usually not picky but I sent it back to the kitchen saying its a bit too much for me, but they were kind enough to cancel it off my bill🤧) Mushroom Truffle Alfredo was also pretty bland (and the Onsen egg had a hair stuck to it😰) The French Fries and the Pulled Pork Eggs Benedict were not bad tho but do not think I will go back again after this experience🥲

CRUFFIN Crispy and fresh pastry with many other options to choose from. The Passion Fruit Cruffin was amazing. (4.5/5) The Matcha Cruffin was too strong. (2/5) Vibe is a bit meh

Seperate menu for burpple Catadventure brings us to HV Cat was stunned when waiteress brought out seperate menu for burpple beyond deal Food good

Maki Rolls Each roll for $20 before GST *Burpple have a different menu for these rolls* 4⭐️/5 Deep Fried Roll Cripsy outer layer with deep fried ebi. Lots of elements and flavours in this maki roll. People who don’t eat raw fish, can definitely try this. 4⭐️/5 Salmon Teriyaki Roll Very saucy, very nice. Main highlight is the collaboration of the avocado, aburi salmon and the spicy mayo that elevates the maki roll.

Pretty meh Decided to pop by to try Takeshi-san as I remembered seeing quite a bit of publicity on it on social media. Plus, Burpple has a 1-for-1 sushi roll deal here so why not. They have a $5 drinks for Happy Hour 5-7pm daily as well as all-day $5/$6/$8 bar bites so we started of with those. We had the Umeshu, Suntory Highball, and the Lime Sui Gin Soda for drinks which were pretty okay for their price. As for sides, the Mozarella Sticks were lightly-battered with a nice cheese pull, made even better by the accompanying spicy sauce. Chawanmushi and Crispy Salmon Skin weren't worth it, can skip. Now for the Burpple Sushi Rolls, you have a separate menu of 4 sushi rolls to choose from. We had the Spicy Tuna Roll and Salmon Teriyaki Roll. Honestly, nothing much to shout about; just average and I'm pretty sure they were specifically made to be costed at $10 each, otherwise I don't think it's worth $20. We also ordered the Garlic Fried Rice with Wagyu Cubes. Fried rice was nice, lots of garlic flavours within, but there were clumps of plain white rice scattered throughout. Wagyu cubes were so-so and just forgettable - not what I would've expected from wagyu. Furthermore, our wagyu fried rice took so long to arrive and when we got the staff to check, she told us that it was sent to the wrong table by mistake. Did no one realise or said anything? Welps, at last they gave a 30% discount for the wait time. Overall, don't think I would return.

Peach yoghurt cheesecake S$ 9 Very refreshing peach flavor topped with popping boba and few slices of peach. Love the peach smell.

Turkish Delight S$ 9 Super chocolatey soft serve, pistachio custard give nutty flavor. The Turkish delight is a bit too hard.

Peach Yoghurt Cheesecake ($9) Flavour of the week (7-12 Feb) . Peach soft serve with liquid cheesecake sauce, topped with yoghurt popping boba, peach slices and Japanese cotton cheesecake

Guo Fu Hotpot🥟 Went to Guo Fu Hotpot 2 weeks ago and had their lunch buffet set ($33.90/pax before gst n svc charge)!😇 Overall ratings 7/10! Vegetables were decent but beauty soup was quite bland🥲 Perks are free flow xiaolongbaos, mantous, and selection of meat and seafood were quite decent😁 Would head back again to try other soup bases😋

Hotpot buffet with free flow xlb!! 🥟 Guo Fu hotpot reopened at Guoco tower with a very nice dining experience but higher prices. Lunch is $33.90++, weekday dinner is $36.90++ and weekend dinner is $39.90++ for classic buffet which does not include individual pot soup base (+$6.90++ or $9.90++ for yuanyang) and drinks. This can easily add up to more than 50 or 60 bucks per pax. Even though variety and xiaolongbao are good, it is a bit pricey and can be more ex than eating at HDL or BIAP. Can try once for experience

Higher end on the price scale for a hotpot but it is worth it for the impeccable service and quality ingredients. 📍Guo Fu Hotpot Steamboat @ 20 Cross Street Ambience: 10/10 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Flavor: 8/10 ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤍 Service: 9/10 ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤍 Overall: 27/30 ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤍 On a Saturday afternoon, I visited Guo Fu Hotpot Steamboat at 20 Cross Street, which is located 3 minute walk away from Chinatown MRT Exit F. I ordered (1) Big Hotpot (Spicy Mala Soup + Herbal Soup), (2) Big Hotpot (Pure Tomato Soup + Spicy Mala Soup), (3) Sliced Beef, (4) Sliced Mutton, (5) Sliced Lean Pork, (6) Pig’s Liver, (7) Hog’s Skin, (8) Scallop, (9) Mussel, (10) Sliced Raw Fish, (11) Lobster Ball, (12) Salmon Fish Ball, (13) Crabmeat Stick, (14) Enoki Mushroom, (15) Sliced Special Beef, (16) Rice, (17) Pumpkin Puree, (18) You Mai Cai, (19) Sliced Lotus Root, (20) Xiao Long Bao, (21) Raw Egg, (22) Ice Plain Water, (23) Hot Chinese Tea, (24) Cuttlefish, (25) Cheese Seafood Tofu, (26) Bean Curd Skin, and (27) Quail Egg. For a total cost of S$325, Guo Fu Hotpot Steamboat fell onto the pricer spectrum of the price scale. Nevertheless, all the ingredients that I had ordered, particularly the Sliced Beef, Sliced Mutton, Sliced Lean Pork, and Sliced Raw Fish - I felt were very fresh. The soup bases were very flavourful as well, but if you are unable to take spice well, I would not recommend their Spicy Mala Soup base because it really does have that strong kick in spice. The famed free-flow Xiao Long Bao did not disappoint as well and the free-flow Pumpkin Puree acted as a great substitute for drinks if you are not looking to pay extra for the normal drinks. The best part was that there were a few sauce bar areas within the restaurant that were filled with an extensive range of condiments and sauces which you can mix and match by yourself to craft the perfect sauce to enhance the flavour of your food. For that, I give Singapore’s Guo Fu Hotpot Steamboat a 8/10 for Flavour. In terms of their customer service, it was very commendable as well. Within each table, you place your order via your own mobile devices by scanning the QR code that they have provided. The downside is that only 1 mobile device within each table is allowed to send the order - even if you scan the QR code using multiple devices. I was impressed by how quickly the kitchen accepted my orders - which was within seconds, and they did make an effort to deliver my orders to me as soon as possible. If you are a regular customer there, you will also realise that the Lady Boss also comes around to check on your table to make sure that you are having a great time eating, and that the kitchen is delivering all the orders without any mistake. She also makes an effort to ask if there’s any feedback - be it negative or positive, to ensure that everything is going well. A friend of mine feedback to her that the portable air cooler wasn’t really working, and immediately, she got her staff to check on not just the identified faulty air cooler, but also the other portable air coolers in the vicinity. Such impeccable service. My only small complaint is that the kitchen does have a tendency to miss out an item or two in between my orders, which can be a little bit frustrating. For that, I give Singapore’s Guo Fu Hotpot Steamboat a 9/10 for Service. Guo Fu Hotpot Steamboat is genuinely the perfect spot if you are meeting with a large group of friends of not more than 10 people because the place does have the capability to allow all of you to be seated together side-by-side. To be certain that you will definitely be able to get that 8 to 10 seater table, do make sure that you make a reservation before heading to the restaurant. You are also able to make special requests during the reservation process as needed, such as requesting a Quiet Seat, Window Seat, Baby Carrier, Stroller, Assistance, and more. This really showed how much thought has been put into making their guest as comfortable as possible. The restaurant is also very big, with more than sufficient personal space at your seats, so it does not feel like you are cramming with 9 other people even if you drop by in a group of 10. For that, I give SIngapore’s Guo Fu Hotpot Steamboat a 10/10 for Ambience. Overall, Guo Fu Hotpot Steamboat at 20 Cross Street scored a 27/30 after combining the scores for Ambience, Flavour, and Service. To quickly conclude, while the damage in price might have been on the higher-end, but for the impeccable service and quality ingredients, I thought it was really worth it.
