Sautéed French Beans w/ Dried Shrimps

Fried Pork in Red Bean Curd Paste

Basil Chicken Rice (Krapow) $13.8. Got this as they were having a 1 for 1 deal. This place is tucked at level 8 of Orchard Central. Food was good, but a little pricey if not for the deal haha. Interesting fusion stuff on the menu though, may come back to try it :-)

Thai Style Grilled Squid with Mentaiko ($18.80) Oops we took a piece or two before I took this photo hence the empty space in the middle. Chewy grilled squid but the mentaiko sauce didn’t taste like the mentaiko sauce I was expecting... tasted more like mayo instead. :( Underwhelming and pricey dish which I will not order again. This dish cannot be redeemed using BB as it is a seafood dish under Mains.

Thai Laksa with Chicken ($15.80) Tucked away in a corner of OC level 8, there were not many customers on a Thursday evening. Good place to eat and talk (they didn’t ask us to go even after we finished our meal). Non-spicy sweet Thai laksa broth with flat boat noodles and a chicken thigh and some veggies (long beans, carrots). It’s decent but not wow or anything. P/S: Restaurant doesn’t serve / has water. P/P/S: Only Mains (those without seafood in it), Noodles/Pasta (excluding Tom Yum Soup Pasta Kang) and Rice sections are available for BB.

Chikuyotei Restaurant is really empty, perhaps reflective of its value

Tempura also found this on a pricer side for a couple of tempura prawns. can skip for its price point

Breaded Oysters this was good! fried perfectly and the oyster inside remained moist and not dried up.

Signature Mochi Donut with Cookie Butter Softserve ($15) Yum! Mochi donut was served hot and was very pleasantly chewy, it’s not sweet on its own so it complements the other components. The cookie biscuit that was the base of the softserve was good too, crunchy and sweet/buttery. Softserve was p smooth and creamy, cookie butter flavour was distinct and honestly much less sweet than typical speculoos-flavoured desserts. It’s served with some granola (that had freeze dried raspberry bits) and salted caramel sauce! Overall a p solid dessert, each component was good and came together nicely, not too sweet as a whole. The mochi donut is v filling so thankfully we shared this between 3! The only thing is that it would have been better if served on a plate - having it in the bowl meant that the donut was soaked in the softserve ‘soup’ when it melted.

Mochi Donut Icecream Brotherbird is very well known for their pastries especially their croissants! To my delight, their cafe’s desserts are beyond imagination. This bowl of goodness is put together using bisoff soft serve, Mochi donut, dried strawberries and wafer. The texture was so balanced with soft and crisp, hot and cold. Goes really well with coffee and tea. Expected Damage: $15

Finally tried this on a lazy Friday afternoon. This mentaiko prawn double baked croissant feels well tailored to the singapore tastebud, with hints of sambal and lotssss of prawns. For $6.50, it's a unique dish that deserves a try. Plus it's quiet in the afternoon for some readings too. Only wished it could be served hotter and more crisp.

Paella (1 serving: S$28, 2 servings: S$39) I suggested to Cat that we try J's for dinner as part of our Entertainer app adventures. The warm fluffy saffron rice dish with marinated chicken, tilapia and salmon is perfectly moist and aromatic. The chicken was amazingly tender and the chunks of salmon was so so fresh! We'd love to go back again for the delicious paella that wins in terms of fuss-free eating and taste.

Churros with Banana & Mango Churros layered with salted caramel bananas, fresh mangoes & coconut infused. It was a bit too creamy for me! ($12)

Lamb Tostadas Crispy corn tortillas with slow cooked leg of lamb served with spicy pick de gallo. Authentic taste! ($18)

amazing chirashi don & wagyu don came across this restaurant by chance and absolutely love love love their chirashi don!! super thick and fresh slices of sashimi with a generous serving of ikura for just ~$30! ordered the wagyu beef bowl as well and the beef slices were perfectly cooked (medium rare), would definitely return 🤩❤️

Fresh Selection Of Sashimi In A Rice Bowl Have heard of Manzoku for a while as I was a fan of Chikuwa Tei and they opened a rebranded outlet. The sliced sashimi still maintains the fresh quality with a plethora of seafood. The more premium bowl contains sweet shrimps, scallops, grilled unagi and salmon roe. Can't fault the ingredients if they maintained high standards with a relatively affordable price tag.

Scorched Mentaiko Scallop $18! Very yummy, served hot even the plate is hot! Recommend for groups

Osmanthus Aloe Vera @ $4.90 Feeling refresh after having such bowl of cooling dessert this afternoon. Creatively served in the small pot with handle that no one has done, I'll probably go back again for their mango dessert.

Red Bean Paste With Dumplings I have always dismissed hk Sheng kee as a fast food chain type of cafe so I hadn’t been so keen in trying their menu . I was craving for a hot bowl of dessert and there were almost no other alternative at Raffles City so this was the only place . The 50 percent eatigo was also quite a push factor for me and hence I went ahead to try . I must say that I am pretty happy with this bowl of dessert- not too sweet and the sesame rice balls were cooked well . I should give their wanton noodles a try next time because they look no different from those served at crystal jade or imperial treasures .

Pork Chop Noodle ($7.30) . Typical QQ HK noodle was good but portion too small la 😉 . Pork chop was not too oily but too thinly sliced la 🧐 . Quick lunch but the service order seemed a bit messed up 🤔 #burpple

Good tofu Steamed tofu with chicken basil @ $10+ Tofu is nice and soft, goes well with the sauce. Wish there's a bit more minced meat.

Good tomyum Tom yum seafood soup with chilli paste @ $9+ Good balance of taste and not overly spicy. This is for small size and there's quite some ingredients (fish, sotong, prawn). Many dishes here to choose from and can also get single person's meals. Will be back again.

Pad Thai Jai Thai is my default place for a good plate of pad Thai - it is always good . Sufficient wok hei , sufficiently moist , not too sweet , not too oily , nice al dente noodles . And if this is not enough - it is also really affordable . Added 1 dollar this time for extra eggy-ness . It either out really nice .

Eat No Evil When it comes to healthy eating, Munch is always my number 1 choice with its extensive salad bar with so many options and its range in menu offerings with rotisserie and sandwich choices too. Fresh ingredients, wide variety and most importantly, extremely tasty.

Eat No Evil it says... Probably not from the viewpoint of the chicken o.O #Lunch #Chicken #Salad

Spicy Chicken ($9.40++) Shaking your box to mix the ingredients and the sauce is such a cute element. A great option as a post workout meal, it was even yummier because of a $5 Shopback voucher. Added pumpkin because the minimum spend was $10 but it was still cheaper with an additional topping. All the carbs, proteins and veggies needed to fuel you for your day.

DIY Bowl - Beef Bulgogi (Base Price $9.90) Dosirak is a healthy modern take on Korean Bibimbap. Each bowl is under 500 kcal! 😱 My order: 🔸 Main - Beef Bulgogi ($9.90) 🔸 5 Sides - Cabbage, Carrot, Corn, Pickled Cucumber, Kimchi 🔸 Base - Buckwheat Noodle (+ $1) 🔸 Sauce - Apple Cider Gochujang Love that the options for sides all veggies which guarantees your order to be super healthy! I also like the Apple Cider Gochujang, it has a good balance of acidity and spice ☺️ They usually have promotions on apps like ShopBack and Fave - highly recommend to check those apps before ordering!

Healthy Modern Korean Bibimbap Pick a main, 5 sides, base, add-ons (optional) and sauce. Shake it up together with the sauces for maximum flavours and let’s bibim! My order goes like this: Main - Cured Salmon ($11.90) Sides - Beansprouts, carrot, corn, pickled cucumber and kimchi Base - White Rice Sauce - Soy Garlic Jang This bibimbap is pescatarian. They cured their salmon in-house using Korean sea salt to give a melty tender fish texture. A healthy (<500kcal) meal that’s perfect for dine-in/takeaway and have it on-the-go.
