New menu! Had this a while back but remembered it to be a pretty decent meal! Here is what we tried: Octopus Chorizo ($18); The best item of the night! Born out of a happy accident, the Octopus Chorizo was a product of a double-dare between their Chefs to reinvent the classic Bangers & Mash with octopus. The masterpiece — tantalising golden gravy cascading down a pillowy mash mountain, laden with octopus & chorizo. Fish Taco ($14); Beer-battered dory with Tortilla, Chipotle Coleslaw, Mayo and Salsa. Porter House Steak ($49); Seasoned with a simple herb rub to accentuate the meaty flavours, then carefully cut into ideal sharing slices. It took over 35 rounds of experimentation to perfect this tricky cut, from its seared brown crust while retaining a tender and juicy bite. Mentai Pasta ($21); Smoked salmon with mentai cream sauce, masago, nori and linguine. This could be more flavourful though. We also had interesting beers in the form of Lychee Sapporo Draft ($11) and Yuan Yang Sapporo Draft ($11).

Nice place to visit Stylish interior, feels nice to be in. Ordered the butterfly chicken and 2 other sharing foods. The chicken was nicely prepared, juicy, flavourful and smells good. Would go for the chicken again.

Fish Tacos & Mentai Salmon Pasta Ordered their Salmon Mentai and Fish Taco and they are seriously Superb! Love how the mentaiko integrates so well into the pasta sauce and the fish tacos is so soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Highly recommend!

Virgin Mexican Sunrise A drink not on the main menu probably whipped up spontaneously by the bar. We don't know what went into it but this kind of name usually is safe hahaha.

Pasta de Cangrejo ($28) Tonito's pasta de cangrejo features squid ink pasta topped with crispy soft shell crab, breaded squid, charred tomato and finished with a dash of lime. The pairing of the subtly briny squid ink, deep fried seafood and a dash of tangy acidic lime went really well. Tonito's food can be a little hit and miss. I personally prefer their mexican selections (eg the tacos and quesidillla) over the Peruvian and Argentinian selections. Since our #eatup in December last year, Tonito has revamped and streamlined their menu so some of the featured dishes may no longer be available! Tonito is an excellent date location and has decent to good food. It's a tad pricey but do check out their #burpplebeyond deals! As usual, special thanks to the good folks from Tonito and Burpple for hosting us!

Mejillon Negra Tonito's Mejillon Negra features Chilean black mussels, chorizo and tiger prawns in a seafood bisque infused with Lustau dry sherry wine. I enjoyed the rich, creamy and savoury seafood bisque which has a nice hint of the spicy notes of the dry sherry wine. Some may find the dry sherry a little too crisp and tart for their liking but I'm perfectly fine wiping up the bisque with their mini baguettes!

1 for 1 BIG BREKKIE ✨1 for 1 all-in-one brekkie at @onemancoffee ☕️ using @burpple ‼️ … One of the most worth it deals I got with @burpple thus far. Really appreciate the good service and consistent serving size according to their usual (the portions are sizeable! 👍), nicely sautéed mushroom, fatty artisanal chorizo sausage and fav tater tots 💖

Overall good experience. Value for money, not bad but sausage and bacon were a little salty. $33 for 2 breakfast sets + 2 coffees.

Gashouse Eggs | $13 Finally had the chance to hit up One Man Coffee after being greeted by long snaking queues during their brunch time. Got lucky and managed to snag a seat for breakfast. Opted for the gashouse eggs as I was not feeling hungry enough for the bigger plates. Absolutely loved how they made it, cheesy on the top yet oozy sunny side up egg in the middle. I’m personally not a fan of sourdough bread that’s too tough, but this crusty rendition had a great chewy texture to it. Rate:🌟🌟🌟

wasn't rly enjoyable tbh was told that it was burpple's regulations that we were not allowed to only use two 1 for 1 vouchers to order 4 mains if we had 5 pax. we could only either order 5 mains (two 1 for 1 voucher + pay full for the 5th main) or order 6 mains (3 1 for 1 vouchers). didn't rly make sense to me as i had previously used 2 for 2 at other outlets so it seemed abit scammy already right from the start. anyway, the staff was kind of rude when he told us about the drinks available, prefacing it w "i'll repeat this twice." if the service was not something we wouldn't come back over, the hamburg patty inside the burger + in the omurice hamburg set was soooo gamey 😐😐😐 didn't even wna eat >1 bite of it... the pork katsu & grilled chicken curry rice was not bad, quite average but the curry was pretty standard (like any other jap curry just that this is darker in colour) so nothing noteworthy. the supposedly WAGYU katsu was also very meh - tasted like normal beef or not even as good as that actually. friend said that the snow crab omurice ($27) was not bad actually except that the crabmeat inside the shell was a tad dry. otherwise the sauce was infused w crab flavour pretty well. total bill was $103.40 after service charge for a group of 5, which wasn't expensive but $20 for a meal like that... 🫠 all in all, considering the location, service, price & taste, we wouldn't revisit this place again.

Chicken Black curry & Lamb Don Ordered chicken black curry ($17) & Lamb Don SG01 ($19). Would have been pretty costly per pax, but it’s worth for the 1-for-1 deal ✔️ Tasty ✔️ Well-cooked Japanese rice 👍🏻 ✔️ Tender meat

Not good The pork belly has a very bad porky smell and taste.

Wagyu don Portion size is alright. Food tastes good

mains! honestly this place is very meh, wont recommend! food is quite mediocre and staff was just on his laptop constantly! feels like microwaved food

$30 nett For Two Don Set Popped by Gyunami for lunch with my friend, and the standard of their Signature wagyu roast beef don is still as good as when I had it 2 years back! Portion size may look small but underneath the slices of tender wagyu roast beef, there’s a lot of rice. The highlight is definitely the thin slices of wagyu roast beef. It’s super tender, perfectly medium rare and goes very well with everything! Gotta appreciate the artful arrangement of the meat slices on top of the rice too 💯 The set comes with complimentary miso soup – taste was okay, nothing too extraordinary. There’s not much lunch crowd on weekdays so you don’t have to queue 😊

Desserts 𝘿𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙨: Good for sharing as these are big portions! We enjoyed both the fruit-focused red wine poached pear with lemon curd (3.5⭐️; $15) and apple galette (3.5⭐️; $15).

Barramundi 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢 𝐞𝐧 𝐩𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞 (4⭐️; $25) - Well-timed tender fish with aromatic and balanced tomato and fennel sauce. Previously popular for their pastas, Eleven Strands has undergone a menu revamp with an extensive offering of delicious food and desserts.

Squid ink risotto 𝐒𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨 (4⭐️; $24) - Richly savory risotto with seafood aroma, paired with crispy fried tentacles.

Mentaiko Salmon Don I finally tried their Mentaiko Salmon Don (cooked) ($17.90) after so long of wandering for at least 2 years ago. Back in 2018, I went to Japanese Curry Express for Salmon Mentai Don with one of my poly friend. She also ordered same as me that time but we didn't wanted to share together because the portion was quite small but its quite filling tbh. I saw @foodee.diaree's reviews for 2 weeks ago and reminded me the shop still opened at there till now. I preferred Mentaiko Salmon Don to be uncooked but my stomach got some problems with diary products (I didn't want to take risk anymore and need to play safe) I felt that it was quite overwhelmed with mayo but I felt that their salmon was really fresh and so good.

Wagyu Beef Don I did asked my friend about differences between Tanuki Raw and Rakki Bowl for Wagyu Australian Wagyu MB5 (Signature Truffle Wagyu Don) - $14.90. She didn't answered my answers lol. (probably I just want to know the differences in terms of taste and pricing) I knew the pricing differences between australian and japanese wagyu in terms of quality.

Delicious Salmon Don Tamago is sweet and salmon not overly cook. Overall food is delicious Just that the music play in the store is weird
