food ok service 🤢 we got the peppa piglet & crommyonian sow pasta! peppa piglet is essentially cajun pork chop w sweet potato fries (pork was tough and portion was small but at least the pork was well seasoned! + sweet potato fries were actly damn nice and it was rly sweet <3) the pasta was aight i think the pork lard was eh ??? pasta was surprisingly light tho not too jelak … but ok we went ard 3pm on saturday there was like literally nobody yay but customer service isn’t the best … staff there like quite cold to u which is q a turnoff for me …

Disappointing Experience I saw other reviews raving about the pork chop but I think it wasn’t good. 1) it was so so so small and thin. I was shocked! 2) meat was hard and had no pork taste 3) it was salty for me La la pasta was okay but not fantastic. Thankfully I used Burpple, but honestly it was one of my worst Burpple experience

Lousy service and meal The food was so disappointing. We ordered pork chop (hard and small, different from the menu), crab pasta, Tom yum pasta, prawn paste chicken (small), cheese sticks, Thai Pandan chicken ( small and slightly undercooked and doesn’t even taste slightly like Thai Pandan chicken). Even though I had the 1-1 burrple deal, I was unable to use it as they mentioned that as they were full and we can’t use it. Shortly after we finished our sides, the waiter came to us with the bill without us asking for it. He told us that as someone else wants the table, and we would need to vacate the table becoz we were not ordering anymore. So I asked if I were to order something I can stay? He said yes… I mean… we ordered much more food than other tables that just ordered drinks and he just chase us out. I wouldn’t come back again even I can use the 1-1 deal. Overall, i would rate 1/10 for this place and food.

Northern Malaysian Coconut US Beef Stew with Sourdough $22 A very lemak , 36 hour sous-vide US beef short plate and brisket with rendang-esque housemade coconut stew brimming with spices. Melt-in-your-mouth would be the most appropriate superlative. It’s topped with jiggly onsen egg and served with plenty of toasted sourdough to scoop up the saucy goodness with. - Taste: 3.5/5

Mr Kakuni Toast $19 I appreciate the unique takes on brunch at @evanskitch, the chef has really put his personal stamp on the dishes here. - Slabs of glisteningly fatty char siew sauce-glazed pork belly slices are layered over a bed of perfectly scrambled egg. The meat is cooked for 36 hours until meltingly soft, then aburi-ed for a smoky finish. - Chicken floss, as well as scallion, furikake and chilli strands add a decidedly Japanese fluorish, but what truly takes it leftfield is the passionfruit sauce and pickled papaya buried innocuously under all the under ingredients, lending a tropical sweetness to each bite. Does it all work together? Not quite, as the almost multitudinous mix and match of components can confuse the palate at times. It’s a good dish overall, but a little editing could have gone a long way. - Taste: 3/5

North Malaysian Curry Beef Stew Very delicious brunch cafe with fusion dishes. Flavours are very balanced. Smoked salmon, mentaiko with pork floss is a great combination. The curry beef stew is also very fragrant, meat is tender, and goes well with the sourdough bread.

Pricey For Portions We ordered the signature steak, king prawns and fish of the week (applicable for Burpple 1-1). We enjoyed the prawns the most. Steak is medium rare (cannot change), it was good but a bit unevenly cooked. Some slices were super rare. Fish of the week was salmon - felt a bit disappointed bc the cut was so small and salmon is a pretty common fish protein. But overall, fish was cooked well. We decided to come here bc we really enjoyed the food at BURN. But we felt that the food here wasn’t as fantastic, and palette wise items were quite similar. The protein portion was pretty tiny and the veggies took up half the plate. Plus pricey for the portion size without Burpple ($30-$35 per dish). Ok 😶 Good Great

Rib of Fire Delicious food here! It was so good that the plate was wipe down clean, love the tenderness of the meat and the sauce paired with this beauty. Apart from this Rib of Fire, there were many other stunning dishes worthwhile. Not to mention, happy hour on drinks! 😊

Alter Mega Platter @$74 1) Grilled Ribeye 2) Grilled Lamb Cutlets 3) Pan-Seared Salmon 4) Tilapia 5) Squid Rings 6) Chicken Breasts 7) Mussels 8) Curly Fries 9) Salad Served with dipping sauces as well. This Alter Mega Platter stated for 3-4 pax. I think not.... this needs at least 6 pax to clear. Large portions for sure. Ribeye was a little chewy, but tasted good. Lambs were tender but a little gamey The other ingredients were all added fillers for this platter to make us full, they were all rather good, but don't expect it to be awesome. Alter Ego seems like a nice place for gatherings or even hold events like parties or corporate events even. The most popular items are their Pokebowls, which what I will have the next time I am here.

Spicy Chicken Pizza @$25 The spicy chicken pizza was explosively spicy, with the sprinkles of red chilli padi, this dish will smack your lips like a bag of chillis.

Tuscan Shrimp Penne@$25 Penne pasta with shrimps, Spinach, garlic onion, Parmasan cheese etc. The shrimps were fresh. Dish was rather appetising. Not bad.

Nah To Sheng Mian 🍽 Sheng Mian: this item is always a hit or miss and it is always hard to judge how it will be without any menu photos or actual photos for reference. In this case it was a total miss for me. The shengmian noodles were damn laohong and also not the crispy thin kind that I was looking for that becomes silky smooth when in the wet gravy (based on my memories the best shengmian I have ever eaten, and very unexpectedly so, was at the makansutra bay at Esplanade where there was this roast duck stall selling duck meat shengmian for $14+. At that time I was commenting how absurd the price was, but the noodles blew my mind and I still remember fondly till today 6 years later. Not sure whether this stall is still at makansutra bay / moved away / closed down haha.)

Eefu Noodle Was Slightly Too Sweeeet 🍽stewed Ee fu noodle: I have never ordered ee fu noodle at tze Char places before! This dish to me is only meant to be eaten at wedding receptions haha. We thought this dish was slightly tooo sweet though too much sweet soya sauce added! Comes with prawns and shimeiji mushrooms

Seafood Fried Rice Was Average Tried out the tzechar from 7 wonders Seafood (Jalan Besar outlet) as there was one for one on burpplebeyond! Paid $16 for 4 mains! 🍽seafood fried rice: my family would have loveee to order a sambal fried rice! My dad and my first reaction when we looked at the menu was “got sambal fried rice ma?” But nevertheless the chilli given to accompany this dish was good enough!

Not bad! The chao-ta chicken is pretty solid

Best Cheesecake Ever The cheesecake really lives up to their name. It tastes amazing. One of the best cheesecake I have ever had. I also had their burpple 1-for-1 ribeye. It was a great deal and the ribeye had a unique Chao Ta taste

1-1 Ribeye Love the ambience! Very cosy lighting and pet friendly. Service is good too. Redeemed the 1-1 on Ribeye ($37.50) and had Chaota Wings ($8). Ribeye was ok, but not worth if there is no deal. Wings is recommended, very crispy.

Claypot Vegetarian Aka luo han zhai. Good variety of veggies. Nice sauce. But honestly no reason to be in a claypot.

Sambal Squid Bad idea. Squid cooked this way feels so cheap. Worse, I knew it's gonna be like this. Incredibly small too.

Good Food But Bad Deal Went for the BB $48 for 2 set meal which comes with garlic pork ribs, homemade tofu and chilli crab. The portion is the typical zi char small serving portion and hence this should cost around $48 too if you order ala carte without BB. Restaurant also charges a compulsory purchase of appetiser cracker. However the food was good so oh well~

Delicious food great interior Reasonable price at $33 Great ambience High reco Bro is nice

Mayo Karaage Don + Unagi Don Very generous portions were given and the food tasted great! Was surprised to see the shop fairly empty on a Saturday night, but it’s definitely worth visiting especially with Burpple. The highballs were also well balanced, not too diluted nor too much.

Nikki Clear Black, Suntory Kakubin Highball ($13.50) Both drinks were fizzy and quite refreshing - a great accompaniment to our savoury rice bowls. It was a little bit diluted but otherwise was a standard highball. Do note that the drinks for the Burpple deal is only applicable for alcohol drinks. We visited on a weekday evening and it wasn’t too crowded although I did notice a fair amount of reservations in the indoor seating area. I actually preferred the outdoor seating, as the ambience was amazing, with the Japanese lanterns hanging at the top and all. Service was great too, the staff were very friendly.

Nice place, good pasta, ok service. Tried their pastas. The seafood was fresh and nice. Pasta was well cooked. Nice ambience nestled on the outside of Plus building. Service could be more friendly. Guy didn’t repeat order to confirm after we ordered, thankfully got our order correct.

All Pastas Out Of Stock 730pm and we were told all pastas are out of stock lmao, I guess gotta call up the restaurant and check if they have pasta beforehand?

For 1-for-1 Pasta (save ~$19) Peep this new restaurant nestled in Cecil Street serving the most delectable fusion of Western and Asian cuisines. If you're spoiled for choice on what to eat, simply order up their pastas ranging from classics like Bacon Carbonara ($17.80) and Classic Vongole ($18.80), to fusion flavours like Alfredo Chicken with Mushroom and Truffle ($20.80) and Spicy Seafood Spaghetti ($18.80)!

Hyped up, expensive & disappointing Pop by on Friday evening, expecting the place to be busy. Except it’s not. The huge restaurant was really empty. There were only 2 other table + us. After reading the reviews, we decided to pick something different. We used one of the 1–1 deal for the Babi pongteh and Sambal kangkong plus the ikan on its own. The rice is free flow, you can pick between the blue pea rice $2 or the plain rice. You can’t just order one plate to share. There were reviews mentioning it smells super fragrant, however to me it’s just lumpy rice with uneven colour, definitely not fresh out of the pot kind of fluffy rice. We had Chinese tea, it came in a pot. Refillable too. The server was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was.. quiet. Obviously. Lol. Straits Chinese nonya restaurant also uses 2 robots to deliver the food from the kitchen. Pretty entertaining to hear the cheery music and watch it goes back and forth while avoiding bumping into anything/anyone. Overall, will I go back again? No. I don’t think I will.

Durian pengat - huge disappointment The kuey was complimentary, in fact, the kuey tasted so much better than the durian pengat… 😒 The first thing that catches your attention with durian should be the aroma, however when I place this under my nose.. I couldn’t smell any distinctive durian smell.. I don’t know how long it was prepared and kept in the fridge hence that’s why there is no durian smell? The taste itself is bland, you can feel the texture of the pulp and it’s not sweet. Overall, I would say save your money and calories on this tiny shot glass dessert.

Sambal kang kong Imo, this was the best dish among what we ate. The rempah from the Sambal was good but it could be spicier (it’s the equivalent of eating Mala but you asked for very xiao la). The veg was crunchy and refreshing and goes well with the rice.
