Definitely a treat! The chocolate wasn't overly rich and had a nice minty aftertaste which leaves one feeling fresh instead of super jerlat after having such sweet drinks. Would take this over a regular cup of coffee/tea/chocolate any time :)
Lunch time prices make this bowl so SO worth!! The beef slices were cooked to tender perfection and infused with truffle! The onsen egg on top makes the dish a bit more wholesome together with their special rice. Truly comfort food.
Didn't get any food pictures but I really enjoyed my visit! Hidden atop OCBC's carpark, the exterior stood out. Served a dish at a time, enjoy traditional Hokkien food cooked to perfection. I enjoyed my duck and mango salad as an appetiser and the good old Kong Ba Bao that was so tender and soft. May be a bit pricey ($150++ for 5) but definitely worth a try :)
P. S. they serve the courses really quickly one after the other so you end up finishing your meal very fast.
When I tried their Blue Milk flavour over the counter, I fell in love instantly. Milky sweet with a hint of savoury from the himalayan pink salt? It's to die for. This photo was taken 5 mins after it was served and the ice cream hasn't started melting yet! Insane. Waffles weren't as crispy but the star of this cafe is really the ice cream.
Where else can you get tender and moist chicken rice for such a steal??? Even my high school priced the chicken rice at a higher price! For it's price, it easily exceeded expectations.
FYI, the chilli packs a punch!
Absolutely delicious. The chutoro just disappears when it enters your mouth and it's divine. You can taste your money's worth when you get a bite of this goodness :)
Springy noodles and tender meats. You should expect nothing less from the one michelin star restaurant. The vinegar taste in this one is *extremely* strong so each individual may have their own opinions on this. However, the seaweed soup at the background is great at cleansing your palate when the vinegar gets too much!
As the winner of The Great Food Truck Race in 2011, I had great expectations for this and I wasn't let down! Ordered the Taco Sampler [$24.90] which came with 5 tacos and 2 sides of your choice.
The beef rib taco was my favourite. Though the slow braised ribs were slightly tough and didn't fall apart like I hoped it would, the flavour profile was well thought through and I especially love the buttermilk fried onions!
Coming in a close second was the braised pork belly taco where it had an asian twist to it by using soy to braise the pork and sambal as the sauce!!
The barramundi and fried chicken taco tied. Felt like the chipotle honey slaw on the barramundi was pretty good though lacked a certain wow factor. Fish was definitely perfectly cooked! The fried chicken taco turned soggy because of the coleslaw 'juices' so draining that before putting it in the taco would definitely improve it as the flavours were on point.
The No. 1 Steak taco ended up last in my list. It was essentially just steak in a taco. Hoped for a bit more chimichurri as the fried wonton skin and other elements would tie really well together with more sauce to unite it all.
Overall a great meal :) Sides were pretty decent with the chips being super crisp too!
Ordered this to share with a friend but felt like the portion was manageable even for one! This (clay)pot of laksa wasn't overwhelmed by the coconut taste like other joints and was pleasantly enjoyable :) The laksa had a nice spicy kick to it though I'd wish it had a bit more 'liao' to it (only a few strands of chicken for me).
Would I revisit this store? Yes. Would I queue for more than 10 minute? Maybe not.
The cheapest don on the menu yet one of the most satisfying? Visited on a Monday so the sashimi wasn't the freshest (but still good!!). Definitely the most value for money chirashi dons around town. Just be prepared to wait 30-45mins for a seat.
The obvious winner here is the roasted chicken as it had more flavour as compared to the steamed one. Despite not getting the drumstick, the meat was still tender and moist!!! I particularly liked the soup too, it wasn't your typical soup you get. Rice was flavourful and could be eaten all on its own too!
I just felt like I had a bit too little chicken on my plate. Had to order two servings to fill me up!
Been here many weeks before and i must say this visit really let me down. The lu rou was really tough and it didn't fall apart and melt in my mouth like it did the first time. Beef steak was also tough and a bit over medium rare. To make things worse, I found a PIECE OF PLASTIC (size of two rings) in my rice!!! Was great when it first opened but the quality dropped so much that it wouldn't warrant another visit.
