Croque Monsieur ($13.50++) Most affordable scrambled egg brunch menu that I ever had. Soft, warm, buttery Japanese eggs. I had these for 2 times, flavor and texture is consistent.

Hazelnut Tamago-EN shake ($6.50++) Psychologically not enticing as it feels like I’m drinking raw egg, but taste is not bad. Almost purey hazelnut taste with just a hint of subtlety from the egg

Ultimate Tamago Kake Gohan with Negitoro ($8.80++) It is interesting but wouldn’t try it again. Taste could be tiring after a few bites. Annnd raw egg + raw tuna for someone with a sensitive tumtum is not an ideal combination 😅 the egg white is very fluffy though and really cute 😂

Steak And Eggs $36 grass-finished skirt steak, scrambled eggs, side salad The food taste pretty good but was very uncomfortable sitting at the bar counter.

Brussels Sprouts And for our veggies, we got their Brussels Sprouts ($16). Utterly sinful tasting yet with a nett carbs amounting to 6g, the plate was loaded with sweet sprouts, sausage crumbs, diced burnt peppers, mint, and a pool of chorizo sabayon. The key element here is the vibrant sauce which was tantalizingly savoury and delivering an almost cheesy flavour that I really enjoyed. The meaty flavour of the crumbs also adding some heartiness to the greens.

Chicharrónes Joining the slew of restaurants offering up keto-friendly dishes here in Singapore, Persea’s low-carb menu features mostly Mediterranean flavours that I found to be pretty unique and crowd-pleasing. To start, we had the Chicharrónes ($6) which were seasoned with chilli lime salt. Light and airy, the puffed pork skins were not oily at all and a fun snack with the delicate savouriness of the salt.

Modern Local Style Ordered dinner from @restaurantibid last weekend through WhatsApp Ibid-Style 8 Treasure Duck (S$118) Interesting texture with water chestnut and chestnut in it, the texture of the rice wasn’t what one usually expect for traditional Chinese style. Cheese Shaobing (S$7) Got to heat up to get the lava like melted cheese which harden quite fast. Lion’s Head Meatball Scallion Noodle HK-Style Curry (S$38) The surprise was inside the meatball - curry gravy but letdown by too much big cubes of jelat fat Pork Fat Rice Crispy Lard Scallion (S$12) If only the lard was light and crispy with crackling sounds Shaoxing Creamed Spinach (S$12) Chocolate Chip & Walnut Cookie ($7) Very soft and rich although nana remarked that it tasted like got peanut butter inside Black Rice Baked Mochi Cake (S$28) Reminded one of Pulut Hitam (Black Glutinous Rice Sweet Soup) Kaya Ice Cream (S$19) Braised Squid and Peanut Butter Zhajiang Noodle (S$26) It was very rich and got jelat easily. Kind of too salty too. Think 🤔 would be best if sauce and noodles packed separately. Felt that it didn’t survive the trip well.

For Eclectic And Adventurously Tasty Food G I F T For those who aren’t ready to dine out yet in Phase 2 of Singapore’s post-Circuit Breaker, you’ll be pleased to know @restaurantibid is continuing with their takeaway/delivery menu until Sunday, 28th June. On offer is an eclectic spread that’s full of delicious surprises, so I suggest ordering an assortment of items that catch your eye and graze across them. Here’s what Chef-owner @woowaileong selected for my dinner last Thursday: 1. Shao Bing - This has been on the menu since Ibid opened for business but has been tweaked and refined over time. It’s currently available with two kinds of fillings: sweetish shredded Wagyu Beef and Cheese with scallions. I preferred the latter because of the savoury taste and I thought the oozy creaminess was marvelous with the chewy dough. 2. Ibid-Style 8 Treasure Duck - Deboned, the #duck is stuffed with fluffy sticky rice mixed with a generous amount of chopped up “lap cheong”, mushrooms, chestnuts and more, which pretty much qualifies it as a one-dish meal too. I enjoyed it most with the bright chilli sauce served alongside. By the way, the caramelised skin is not meant to be crispy. 3. Five-Spice Roast Spring Chicken - A classic done with a Chinese twist. If you aren’t fond of the coriander powder-heavy seasoning, you might want to skip this as it’s liberally rubbed all over. 4. The 50/50 Potato Purée - Super smooth, buttery and creamy, it was beloved by everyone. 5. Shaoxing Creamed Spinach - The Chinese spin put on this popular steakhouse side got it more appetisingly nuanced. 6. Lao Gan Ma Slaw - Did the chilled crunchy cabbage improve from a spike of savoury Oriental-style heat? You bet it did. 7. Mapo Tofu - Like I suspected, this turned out to be one of my favourites. Supremely fragrant and controlled in spiciness, Ibid’s had more structure than most renditions that tend to veer into mushiness. 8. Pork Fat Rice - Dressed in pork oil, crispy lard and scallions, it’s a most apt and delicious carb for the Mapo Tofu. 9. Lion Head’s Meatball - Formed from seasoned minced pork, the huge thing contained a mild Hongkong-style curry at its core which flowed out once a cut was made. 10. Scallion La Mian - The strands of al dente noodles tossed in scallion oil were a good match for the XXL meatball. 11. Black Glutinous Rice Mochi Cake with Taiwanese Milk Oolong Ice-cream - So utterly perfect in its uniqueness and taste, I was inspired to do a stand-alone post about this dessert (please go have a read). The cake is incredible bare but when served a la mode, it took things up a few notches. 12. Chocolate Chip & Walnut Cookie - The other (and rather unexpected) favourite of mine from this meal, I would go so far as to call it THE BEST chewy cookie I’ve had in the past few months. Don’t hesitate to hit up Restaurant Ibid to get your order in.

The Biggest Surprise Of All Was This Chocolate Chip & Walnut Cookie G I F T The other (and rather unexpected) favourite of mine from the meal I had from Ibid was this huge cookie. In fact, I would go so far as to call it THE BEST chewy cookie I’ve had in the past few months. The chocolate chips are gooey and the fresh tasting nuts add a very enjoyable light crunch.

Spicy Prawn Pasta Am a lover of spice and this pasta dish definitely has the right amount of spice! It hits you right on the spot, spicy yet super satisfying! Prawns are also fresh!

Har Cheong Gai Chicken Cutlet ($10) One of the dishes that i liked from :Dual is the Har Cheong Gai (prawn paste) Chicken Cutlet. The chicken was crispy and juicy, just a tad on the saltier side. But i’m a fan of stronger flavours anyway, so its not too much of an issue for me. Definitely recommend this as a side order for sharing! This cafe is a merchant on Burpple Beyond (1-for-1 mains) as well, so save more when you dine here!

Mentaiko Pasta ($15) Saw a review by a fellow burppler that this was one of the worst mentaiko pasta he ever tried, and i totally agree. Presentation wise it certainly looked good, and the pasta was quite well cooked but taste wise it was so bland with probably only the slightest hint of mentaiko taste if i’m being totally honest. I had a much better time with their other dishes which I’ll be sharing more about in my other reviews.

Halo Halo 6.5nett Interesting dessert, always wanted to try it. The ube ice cream(mainly coconut milk taste) and the ube itself were delicious, the icy layer was lacklustre and the myriad of jelly at the bottom were fine. The best component is probably the flan which was slightly dense with a strong caramel taste. Overally satisfying dessert and good to try once

Pork Sisig 13nett Comes w a rice Super porky dish, surprisingly not the most oily amongst the dishes we ordered. Unanimous the favourite, it was very savoury and so sinful. Begging for rice, a must-try here

Bulalo Set 30nett Comes w 2 rice(rather generous portion) Highly recommended, the soup has an amazing complexity from a very familiar ingredient but can't figure out what it is. Rlly umami tho q salty, and the beef was quite tender. Meant for 4-5 to share due to the generous amount of beef, but a smaller portion is available for 13 and I would recommend that instead

Swordfish Sashimi I always love Genki n my friend was telling me this sashimi (I think might b swordfish but not too sure) is v good it’s like a v fatty fish n the mouthfeel rly good af. N it rly is!! Have been ordering it ever since haha. Also love the other food on the menu like salmon sashimi n other sushis yeah nth much to fault abt Genki tbh

Grilled Salmon Sushi I needed to find out why this dumb chain in my mind draws such long queues. For this item, the smokiness really lifted the fish in a way different from aburi.

Crabstick Salad Sushi I needed to find out why this dumb chain in my mind draws such long queues. This particular item was fine.

Little Pink Riding Hood Smoked salmon and picnic ham blanketed with poached eggs drizzled with pink hollandaise sauce. Served with fruit salad and a bed of crunchy Japanese cucumbers

Strawberry Smoothie Theme cafes usually only have nice presentation but taste are usually horrible... But for My Melody Cafe is slightly better... Not only it looks pretty it also taste quite ok...

On Cloud nine This taste like some mouth wash drink. Look nice but taste like shit

Anmitsu w soft serve 10.9++ Choice of matcha, choc, or mix of them for the soft serve Theres abit too much jelly at the bottom, the shirotama balls were too big, but the soft serve was excellent with hints of bitterness, depth, and a respectable texture. What impressed most is the red bean paste. Super high quality stuff and it packs so much oomph. This is a must try

Mixed fruit tart 9.35++ A decent fruit tart, there's a lot of fruits and none of them are particularly sour. But pretty big so get it to share. The cream is average though

Mango Strawberry Tart | $9.50 Honey mangoes with juicy strawberries and custard cream. Wished that it was served colder as cream was too soft with melted texture.

soi thai soi nice this was such a homely thai-style zichar kind of meal… omelette was fluffy, kangkong was ‘shiok’fully spicy

Decent Thai Food: 7/10 🌟 Overall 7/10! • Their sticky rice (11/10🌟) and fried pork belly (8/10) (last 2 bottom photos) were my mvp! • Their fish’s meat was tender and fresh. • Their Thai red milk tea was good too. • Their service was good :) • Overall, food is not bad with authentic Thai taste!! However, please take note that I don’t really like or eat Thai food often so it may not be rated according to the high standards.

Minced Pork Omelette($10.90)😘 Khai Jiao is always a must order for us in Thai food. Thick fluffy egg with meaty texture that is not too oily at all. So simple yet so deep in flavour. . 🚩Soi Thai Soi Nice(JEM), 50 Jurong Gateway Rd, 03 - 21 JEM, Singapore 608549

Long Churros With Ice Cream (3/5⭐) Long Churros With Ice Cream ($4.5) The mixed ice cream is good, vanilla with caramel/butterscotch flavor I think. The marshmallow churros with chocolate base is good but way too hard. It might be because we come at night so it's not as good as freshly fried churros.

Soft Serve with Churros Big fan of their cold churros, especially the pistachio. Very generous in their coating with finely ground pistachios. Got a hazelnut chocolate soft serve to go with. The churros are priced at $3 each.

Classic Mini Churros Classic Mini Churros ($3.20 / Medium Size) I missed extra topping - Matcha Foam around opening week. Such a disappointment. They have changed from extra different toppings to add-on different flavours of ice cream ($1). I find the churros a bit hard to chew but at list they have served in hot for churros and free sauce (plenty of different sauce to choose from)
