Dark chocolate fiesta They had multiple dark chocolate with different richess. Ordered their 88% dark chocolate (+1) & Japanese Matcha to level up the richess. Dark chocolate was really rich in flavour & matcha balance it out. I like that the server pay attention to detail such as when I am looking for tissue and looking for cups. Overall, I like the environment and the service.

Dark Chocolate and Hazelnut & Rose Lychee cake slice. Got the Dark Chocolate Hazelnut cake slice and the Rose Lychee cake for the 1 for 1 cake slice deal. The chocolate Hazelnut cake was very sweet and moist. Was expecting less sweet with more intense cocoa flavour and the Rose Lychee cake was on the drier side with a subtle rose flavour and faint hint of lychee. Service was great and nice ambience.

Soft Shell Crab Salmon Sushi As it's name suggests, the dish contains sushi wrapped in salmon, with each roll containing cucumber and deep-fried soft-shell crab! The salmon was seared very slightly to give it a slight Aburi flavour. The dish is great as an appetiser for sharing! The restaurant was really crowded even when we visited for dinner on a weekday. Hence, do be sure to make a reservation especially if you are planning to visit The Sushi Bar in a big group!

Kaisen Chirashi Don A must-try for all who have never visited The Sushi Bar before, the restaurant's Kaisen Chirashi Don contains a delectable mix of salmon, Aburi salmon, yellowtail, tuna, swordfish, eggs, scallop and salmon roe atop a small bowl of Japanese rice! My favourite were the salmon and swordfish because those are usually my favourite fish in Japanese food and they were prepared really well here! In particular, the salmon and swordfish slices were really thick and it really gives you a sense of satisfaction to be eating them! 😋😋😋 For $26.90++, it is really a steal for the variety and quality of the ingredients used in this dish. Specially, the sashimi was freshly-prepared and the fish were quite firm! While you can't see the rice in the photo, you don't have to worry as the rice is more than enough for one person!

Kaisen Chirashi don ($22.90) Haven’t had this in awhile! The sushi rice here is on a more vinegary side and these fresh, thick slices of salmon & aburi salmon, tuna, yellowtail, swordfish, hotate and ikura was satisfying😌

1 For 1 Signature Souper Combos This is the Creamy Tomato Basil soup with a Sesame Chicken Popiah and a cup of hot genmaicha. I was so favorably impressed by this!! The popiah was loaded full of veggies and drizzled with a rich creamy sesame sauce. Crunchy bits, soft starchy popiah skin and meaty chicken flesh added a medley of flavors and textures that I adored. It was just the perfect companion for hot, tangy tomato soup. The genmaicha was a refreshing palate cleanser to sip on between bites. 2 Souper Meal sets only cost $9.80 and altogether made a healthy, fuss-free and very filling meal (my dining partner was a guy some more). It is really a great deal thanks to Burpple Beyond! 8.5/10

Comfort food Been a huge fan of Souperstar. Tomato soup tastes abit too sour but still worth it with the 1 for 1 - no complaints

2 Set A Combos (Medium Soup, Traditional Popiah, Choice Of Drink (Top Up For Iced) Or Mini Bread What’s good about the (far) East of Singapore? Souperstar On burpplebeyond at Simei AND Tampines; already clocked 2 visits since they came on beyond and more to come (!!!) Their French onion soup runs out so if you are a fan be sure to make that your choice whenever it is available. To accompany the western selection of soups is an expensive Asian popiah (vis a vis hawker standard), made affordable with beyond. I actually find the in-house made popiah skin good but not revolutionary, yet the popiah fillings make these Chinese wraps great s/o to the generous scoops of fried crunchy batter😬

Rich tasting soft serve I loved the milk and matcha flavoured soft serves. Well worth the 1-for-1 deal but a little too pricey at its original price tag.

Crème Brulee Ice Cream Not cloyingly sweet ! Was really good, though slightly pricey without the 1-1.

Cute Little Cup Of Milk Shake Deep flavour of matcha, Silky smooth in a Cute little size

Actual Burpple Offer Differed From The Description Thought it was "3 Eclairs for 3 Eclairs" (which was how it was like previously when I used it last year), but apparently they've an agreement with Burpple that said that it will be $33 (for a total of 6 eclairs). Though it's still slightly cheaper than the original price for 6, I still felt a bit cheated cos this was not stated anywhere. They should have stated this somewhere that it's no longer 3 for 3, but a box of 6 for $33. Apart from this, the eclairs tasted fresher and better than the previous time that I bought them.

eclairs pistachio was the best, followed by the salted caramel. strawberry was quite good too

Lovely eclairs Dropped by to buy it because of the beyond deal! Was worth it! Flavours in order of my personal recommendation: 1. Vanilla with caramelised pecans - The vanilla cream was so fragrant, and the pecans gave a very nice texture to the eclair 2. Dark chocolate - a classic, rich and not too sweet 3. Earl grey - definitely can taste legit earl grey, very fragrant but not too sweet 4. Salted caramel - a classic too, tasted like Garrett’s popcorn, was good but wasn’t that special
