My second time visiting B&L in Singapore and everything is generally good. I do remember the sauce to be more buttery though, but overall still a hearty meal.
Tried the lobster mac and cheese which was okay, it tastes like Mac and cheese with lobster bisque.
Thumbs up for the service staff who were attentive!
Got this as a gift from a friend, was expecting it to feed 2 people but this managed to feed 5 small eaters.😬
The presentation was definitely good. Enjoyed the winged beans and the sambal eggs (which really gave a good kick of spiciness) - those were the standouts for me. Overall a good plate of nasi lemak - reasonable for the cost 👍🏻
True to its name, it does indeed taste ‘smoked’. Not a fan of the smoky taste, but it is a good waffle - crispy on the outside, doughy on the inside. Also felt that the waffle was a little bit on the pricier side. I’ve tried sister cafe burnt cones previously as well, felt the same, good but a bit pricier than the average cafe.
We ordered the Coconut lychee and Fior de latte. Both flavors are okay, with good creamy texture. But personally feel that the coconut lychee could be better as a sorbet as it was too rich for me towards the end.
Wouldn’t mind trying other interesting flavors if I’m around the area though. Ube is next on my list 😌
A little hidden gem at Orchard Plaza.
This seafood Pad mama (yes Thai version of Maggi Goreng) was very savoury and I polished the plate in no time. Hubby liked the Siam fried rice which he found spicy but shiok. We went for the chicken wings as recommended and it did not disappoint. Packed for a weekday lunch, top up 1 buck for Thai milk tea. The Thai milk tea was a little too sweet for me but otherwise, I found my meal to be enjoyable.
Highly recommend the satay here. We went for the 10 piece meat (no intestines or whatsoever), and the texture was really awesome. Noodles was kolo-mee style, quite springy and generally value for money. I’ll return to this place for the satay and ambience. And perhaps to try a few other Indonesian style items.
OL best friend brought me here. Was pleasantly surprised at the huge lunch crowd because I’ve walked past many times but never really took note of this place. Wide variety of YTF items and what stood out was the interesting chye poh claypot flavour that was offered. I expected it to be salty but it really wasn’t, flavorful but not overwhelming. Came with a huge bowl of yam rice as well. Another good find in Bugis, also halal certified so can come with your Muslim friends.
Effort for the mango lassi art here. More brownie points for the ever awesome Springleaf
The char siew and roasted pork were really much better than usual hawker fare. Char siew was fat and tender, some of my pieces could be considered near to being ‘melt in your mouth’. Roasted pork had crispy crackling skin. However for 2 portions of this plus hubby ordered an extra chicken cutlet, it was priced at around 12 so basically about 6 for each set. The bean curd skin was the one that had the most generous serving! May not queue again if the queue is long.
Came with high expectations and was not disappointed by food, ambience and service. Pictured is the Alaskan King Crab with Madras Curry Rice. The curry flavors went so well with the light rice texture. My other favourite dish was the grilled paneer roll with tomato chutney and cured hamachi with a very refreshing Sothi. Interesting to see both North and South Indian food coming together with a somewhat modern touch.
Seriously surprising find, didn’t know it was nestled in the Sime Darby Centre. Ordered this savory waffles because it’s recommended according to quite a few reviews I’ve read and every time was pretty decent. Felt like the waffles could be smaller and chicken could be a little bigger though for a more balanced portion of carbs and meat haha.
I really enjoy my mocha with oat milk. It was smooth and fragrant.
Cafe Kong was surprisingly relatively packed for a weekday breakfast. I was there slightly 9.30ish.
Actually thought the cafe was more interesting cause of the Korean twist to basic brunch items which was nice! Only not so good point was that, which our drinks came fast, our food took quite some time. But I will definitely give this place another shot!
Truly a hidden gem as suggested by all the other reviews. Not sure if it’s the virus situation or what, we were the only customers on a Saturday night :/
This sea bass was so well executed and I loved the slight twist to the dish which was the shellfish bisque that was really tasty. The potato also I believed had strands of crabmeat hidden so fine, can’t really see it but can feel the texture is a bit different.
Also ordered the very addictive truffle fries, sautéed spinach with tomatoes and tender and well marinated brick chicken. Must say that for a small restaurant, the number of side dishes offered is very substantial. Saw a couple more that I wanted to try like the broccoli and sweet potato fries, till the next visit then! Keep going, we have to support small establishments in the west like this!
It’s located not within Ayer Rajah community centre, but the building beside. Got a little lost trying to locate it.
Rather decent portions and thankfully the salmon was quite substantial and not too dry (the teriyaki sauce definitely helped). Rice bowl included an onsen egg yay! Coleslaw side was priced at 3 bucks and pretty big. I wish they gave it just as an add on, rather than having to pay 3 bucks for it.
Would wanna try the other items on the menu.
