Deep Fried Prawns With Laksa Leaf And Pesto Sauce ($15) Have you ever thought of what can happen when east meets west? This deep fried prawns had us all wow-ed by the magical use of laksa leaf in the pesto sauce that was nicely coated on the outside. Might seem overly herbaceous with all the greens, but the overall flavour was balanced and fresh. Can’t deny the usage of herbs helped to lift the overall taste of the dish. Strawberries and figs added a fruity sweetness to the dish that surprised us even further.

Steamed Scottish Razor Clam in Korean Black Garlic ($12/piece) A very savoury way of cooking this seafood dish, especially with the black garlic that contributes a really strong fermented flavour to the razor clam. Salty as it might be, the black garlic also adds on a tinge of sweet, balsamic taste. The razor clam was long and juicy, but chopped into smaller pieces which can be chewed conveniently. Love the freshness!

Jumbo Lump Crab Meat ($98), Fried Mantou ($0.80/piece). Now available on regular menu. 🦀 How does a de-shelled chilli crab sound? Although it felt a little odd to not have my hands stained with the chilli crab sauce and crack the shell by myself, but it was surely of much convenience to still enjoy one of our local favourite dishes in such a clean and neat manner! Pretty sure lazy eaters would appreciate this. 😄 🦀 Sitting right in the middle of a pool of luscious tangy chilli crab sauce is the real gem itself; a tower built of such sweet, juicy crab meat. The sauce was slightly spicy, pretty flavourful and fills your mouth with a really rich texture. 🦀 Pair with their unique mantous that come in the shape of long breadsticks instead of the usual pillow-shaped ones. Still as fluffy inside and crispy outside! #burpple #burpplesg #sgfood #sgfoodies #sgigfood #sgeats #sgrestaurant #wheretoeatsg #whati8today #foodporn #sgfoodporn #instafood_sg #sgmakandiary #sgmakan #sgfooddiary #thechinesekitchen #chillicrab #厨神私房菜

Falafel Bowl A cosy co-working space with comfortable meeting area, and of course they also serves some in-house dining as well. I ordered their falafel bowl without much expectation and was surprised with the portion. It is actually very big and fulfilling meal for one person. Comes with lots of mixed mesclun, cherry tomato salsa and tabouleh. Of course with their house-made falafel you can’t go without the humus, which they provided 2 type of it; included the traditional and beetroot. Accompanied by mixed herbs, avocado, house-made plant-based raita, house-made flatbread, dukkah and almonds. I need some protein for my lunch, which is why I also added some organic chicken to my bowl.

i! love! genius! central! forever an advocate of this place!! love the atmosphere and spaciousness of the restaurant, and how friendly the staff are. i always get my cheese quesadilla and top it up with chicken :) it’s not the cheapest but i always come out feeling extra full and hearty i love the sides and the spices too. my friend got the falafel set and that was pretty GREAT too. can’t wait to try other things on their menu

Classic Skewers From Gudsht We like the grilled chicken. Highly recommended!

Worth with Burpple Burpple 1 for 1 deal applies only for the Don and Udon items. We decided to get the Unagi Don ($15.90+) and Yakitori Don ($14.90+). Nothing to shout about for the Udon, it was your typical Udon soup handled fine. The Yakitori were well charred and had a nice sweet glaze. Wouldn't pay the full price for the meal though. Would come back for their Happy Hour promos.

Gudsht 3.5⭐ Saw on Burpple that beef don is available here and it's those cube type. Both of us ordered the same don. The beef is slightly hard and does not have the melt in your mouth feeling unlike Waa Cow Wagyu don. The Ajitsuke Tamago and Ikura adds points to the don. However felt a bit jelak to finish the don. #Gudsht #YakinikuBeefDonburi #BurppleBeyond

Nasi Lemak Masak Merah | $10.90 Was so excited to order this and try it when it finally came with the wonderful plating. Unfortunately, the chicken wasn’t fully cooked on the first serve, with the insides slightly pink and cold despite the exterior seemingly warm. While unsure of the reason why this happened, after flagging out and getting a new side of chicken, I guess my appetite was inevitably ruined even with the rectification. That being said, the rice was light and delicate and it was really a Lemak dish defined by coconut. The sambal on the side was rich and sweet as well. Rate:🌟🌟

Mee Siam | $8 My go to spot when I’m craving Mee Siam, though my fond memories of it from a few years ago seem more delicious than it was when I had it recently again. This bus bowl with a generous amount of tau pok and tangy, spicy, gravy was still delightful, but it didn’t have the kick it had like a few years back. The prawns could have fared better fresh, and the flavour isn’t as rich anymore. Rate:🌟🌟🌟

For a Queue-Worthy Lunch in the East Tucked away in Crescendo Building along Upper East Coast Road, this East side stalwart is your answer to an affordable and delicious lunch. Foolproof options include the Nasi Lemak Burger ($12), featuring a well-executed deep fried chicken cutlet, fried egg and sambal and mayo sauce atop a bed of fragrant pandan rice. The fork-tender Lamb Shank ($16.90) is a hit here as well. If you're planning to visit on weekends, come early to avoid crowds. *Halal-certified Photo by Burppler Zul Latiff

Chicken Cutlet with Swiss Raclette Cheese Last hurrah with them before closure. Unfortunately this signature did not live up to its reputation. I thought three slabs of meat and special cheese justified the higher price, but they're small and simple, and the latter only offered visuals, nothing for the taste. Worse, the baby potatoes were lousy and the house braised sauce was negligible.

Crab Roll Last hurrah with them before closure. This signature was really good. The sensational crabmeat paired with fragrant croissant. The truffle shoestring fries were also superb.

Salted egg yolk chicken burger Salted egg yolk chicken burger came with two (!!) pieces of juicy chicken cutlet and a generous serving of creamy salted egg yolk sauce. Also had the slightly sweet taste of the Tze char oats that paired well with it. Delightful!

Gem in Lavender with Burpple 1 for 1 mains + drinks!! My 3rd time here and the level of service and quality of food stays superb! We got 4 mains along with 4 mocktails that cost us ~S$24 each. Mains: - Sous Vide Ribeye 🥩 We got a medium doneness and the waiter explain that this is cooked differently - Sous Vide. It was pretty tasty and well cooked. Fries and charred broccoli were bomb. - Smoked Duck Breast 🦆 Most solid item I’ve tried. Honestly thought it’s gna taste the same as mookata’s duck breast, but it proved me wrong - tasty and delish - Classic Lamb Shank 🐑 Pretty gamey imo but I’m a lamb lover, so absolutely enjoyed it and sauce added a flavour bomb - Baked Sea Perch 🐟 This was okay and surprised to see caviar with it. Mocktails were tasty and interesting! Good pair with our mains. 🍸 Overall a great 8/10 experience as the value of our 1 for 1 mains + drinks were great. *some dish can’t be ordered with the deals like the salmon, wagyu etc (those expensive ones) 🤣

mocktails we used a burpple deal which was 1 for 1 for a main + drink (they said we could only order mocktails for this) so we got the mango day spring and summer kiss ($10 each). both were q nice and refreshing but i’m not a fan of these kinds of drinks so this made the deal not so worth for me. my bf rly enjoyed this place and would revisit whereas i found it not bad only but wouldn’t mind trying their other dishes

baked sea perch ($28.00) vv yummy when you combine all the elements of this dish into one flavour bomb of a bite! could do with more sauce though love love love their mashed potato and broccolini in both dishes, super tasty! would eat a whole bowl of mashed potato if i could 🤤🤤

Mushroom risotto Absolutely loved this.

Pizza Can’t really recall what pizza this was, but it was the thin crust kind, which I really like. Wished it could have been a bigger portion for their price though.

Seafood pizza Seafood pizza was decent. However, I believe that the establishment have changed and the seafood pizza no longer has a scallop on each slice, and has been replaced with clams instead. Rating 6.3/10

Chicken ala Carbonara Diced chicken cooked in creamy parmesan sauce. Pasta was al dente and chicken was juicy. Overal taste good, suitable for kids too. Do take note that portion is quite big.

Squid Ink Pasta Squid ink curry pasta looks decent but delicious! May not see any chilli but it is very spicy. Nevertheless you can still taste the squid ink eventhough it is spicy. Damn good, highly recommended. Quite big portion.

Oven Baked Bone Marrow Bone marrow topped with caviar and garlic bread by the side. First time trying the caviar was a little salty. But great combination of eating the garlic bread with bone marrow.

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.
