Mega San ($9.90+1) Base: cold pasta 5 Essentials: edamame, sweet corn, roasted shimeiji mushrooms, tamagoyaki, steamed prawns Sprinkle: bonito fish flakes Special: grilled unagi (+$1) Sauce: tangy yuzu sesame Nice selection of ingredients to choose from. The mushrooms were my favourite, and the cold pasta was my least favourite. Everything else was pretty much as you'd expect.

Salad bowl I like their salad bowl ! a few choice to choose from! i like mega salad :) with my soba and topping with soba sauce , yummy

Diy Mega San DIY mega san ($11.90) Get to choose the wrap, rice, 5 ingredients and sauce. Very filling and the ebi fry is nice!

French Toast ($4) This was super eggy - for those who love a strong egg flavour. Honey and butter made it even better, but wouldn't mind more honey to pair with as well! Steamed BBQ Pork Bun ($5) These buns had q sweet Char Siew fillings, and altho they can't beat those from Peach Blossoms, these were still decent. NGL low-key hesitated posting initially because didn't want it to be crowded. Would totally go back again for their food, but do note they close quite early tho! Overall Rating: 8/10

Pan fried Red Bean Pancake ($8.80) Had a good sesame taste, and came with a generous amount of red bean, but could be even more crispy and fragrant!

🌟 Pan Fried Yam & Pumpkin Cake ($5.50) It's a must try!! Loved the yam and pumpkin flavours, and it was so fragrant and crispy. There were also some water chestnuts within, giving a crunchy texture. If I had to nitpick, it was just slightly too greasy.

Double Scoops Sakura Smoke, Artichoke & Pear Compote (Gourmet - $6) & Hojicha with Cacao Nibs (Premium - $5) I felt that it was quite weird and strange combination tbh with crunchy pear toppings but then cannot distinct well? But I really enjoy their tea gelato based with cacao nibs (crushed cocoa beans) and taste not that strong roasted tea and overshadowed by strong cacao nibs taste.

Kyoto Shiso & Yuzu Jelly with lavender cone ($7.78) Nice and refreshing ice cream. Very unique taste similar to mint with little bites of jelly. Recommend pairing with the lavender cone. Would come back to try their other flavors!

Waffley Ice Cream Treat Gelatolabo is well known for their artisan gelato with unique flavours that are rotated such as the Colombian Cold Brew & Cookie Butter Bits and Lychee Raspberry & Rose. The waffle had a layer of mochi inside that was soft and slightly chewy. It complemented well with the waffle's lightly crisp exterior and the flavours of the ice cream. My quibble on the waffle is that it wasn't hot when served and lacked the fluffiness.

Explosive Ban Mian One of my favourite ban mian has now opened another outlet at Foch Road. I first had NKCPM at their original branch at Kovan. Loved their ban mian ever since. Consistency is there, tasted the same as at kovan. Chilli as usual damn explosive, have ti mix everything well with the ban mian to make it more shiok to consume. Chicken Cutlet was crispy and tasted quite good. The pork cutlet looks better though.

Classy and Quality Hotpot Experience Decided to forgo the usual HDL/BITP and go with a classier Hotpot place recommended by friends. Ambience was brighty-lit, quiet, and very 'polished'. Service was also friendly and attentive. Went with the Pickled Chinese Cabbage with Pork Rib Soup ($38) - huge portion with lots of pickled cabbage and more than 10 pieces of pork ribs. The sour soup is an acquired taste though. Added on the Beef Platter ($28), Chinese Cabbage ($6), and the waitress said the Japanese Black Pork ($18) was 50% off for the day so of course we had to get that too. Saw reviews saying the Spicy Stewed Rabbit ($18) was good so we tried it as well, but it was nothing to write home about; tasted like tougher pieces of chicken. Overall, definitely fresh and quality ingredients but perhaps we should have gone with a different soup base because I found the meal to be pretty normal. Get the Tong Xin Special Drink ($3) though, it was sweet and tart and refreshing and perfect to wash everything down. Sauce bar was $4 per pax and I found it to be slightly lacking compared to HDL/BITP was they do provide some sort of fried kway tiao which was good. Total damage was ~$131 for 3 pax which was reasonable and we were bursting at the end.

Maocai!! Sooo delicious. This is so rich in every ingredient you'll wish for in a maocai, we chose beef - tender slices and pairs well with the generous amount of veggie. Definitely get their homemade tea to match with the spicy maocai. (Good for 2-3 pax, ~$40)

Vegetables Combination Don’t forget to grab some vegetables for your hotpot as well, and the platter has the corn, cabbage and more.

Croque monsieur Nice! But pricey!

Filtered Coffee We tried out Brazil (Fazenda São Paolo) and Columbia (Tablon De Gomez) this time round, both not too acidic and quite rich bodied. Love!!

Yuzu Cheese Cake This was one of better cheese cakes we have tried in recent times. It was not too dense, rich in flavour yet light in taste. Very impressed.

q overrated DALMATION ($8) was a black cold brew topped w cream & crushed oreo...a lil gimmicky. but the WHITE ($5 - 5oz) was not bad. SCRAMBLED EGGS & IKURA ($18) were yummy though q ex for what it is. BACON WRAPPED PRAWNS RISOTTO ($25) was q light tasting with a hint of truffle. the bacon wrapped prawns carried.

Good food Chill vibes🍳✨ 💬 The LRC Breakfast (bottom plate, $14) is a must try🤤👍🏻 It consist of a Bread-Coated fried soft egg, Spicy port chorizo sauce, Potato Foam, Potato Chip and Sourdough. I think it’s a unique dish✨ ☕️ The coffee is really strong for a non-coffee drink. 🍟 Strong Truffle smell coming from the fries. From top to bottom: • White Coffee, $5.50 • Three Little Pig, $18 (they have a secret green sauce but it taste alittle earthy to me) • Tater Tot, $12 • Truffles Fries with Parmesan,$12 • Ice Mocha, $6.50 • LRC Breakfast, $14

For Chill Coffee Breaks :) Coffee was pretty good but the ambience was definitely what caught my eye from the get go! Would recommend if you’re in the Katong area for coffee!

yuzu mango latte ($7) this tasted like mango pomelo sago!!!🥭🥭 so yummy and i swear the oat milk (+$1) made it better. can't taste the coffee though but this kept me UP

Bad service, bad coffee Tried the mint coffee (kohito) and dark choc drink for $7.5 total with burpple. Dark choc was not sweet (good for those who prefer non sweet drinks), but did not taste very chocolatey to me too? Mint coffee was rly bad imo, sour coffee + toothpaste. What put me off the most was the service. The ordering place has 2 windows, one connected to the road outside and one connected to indoor seats. When my buzzer rang, i tried collecting from the window connected to the indoor seats since that made the most sense? But the staff told me I hav to exit the cafe to go outside to collect. When they could have literally grab my drink, turn their body n pass to me. The booth they were in was rly tiny btw. And when leaving the place i thot i was alr kind to clear my own cups, i placed them at the window connected to indoor again cos there were no dustbins. The staff then told me to exit the cafe n throw in the green bin outside. Uhh ok. Then can someone tell me whats the window connected to the indoor cafe for?

Kohito $7 ice black, fresh milk, mint
