Healthier version of the traditional prawnmee and ngoh-hiong platter. The supreme prawn broth is rather light on the mouth and yet full of flavour and umami. The noodle texture was just right, neither too dry nor wet. The fried ngoh-hiong was a pleasant surprise. Skilfully done with a thin layer of crust, it was crispy and lightly fried, healthier than the traditional ones. Price point is therefore on the premium end.
Been craving for local breakfast and here is the fix much needed!
Raspberry lychee on chocolate lava vs Blue chai Hokkaido milk on matcha lava. Which one is your favourite?
The braised pork and minced pork rice were legit. Everything in the photo cost less than 14 dollars. What a steal!
Knew this shop a million years ago when it first opened with no customers. The food has been consistently good. They do serve traditional local dim sum with a modern twist, which makes it more flavourful, less oily and definitely more to my liking. My favourite is the Japanese Dumpling (日式抄手), though it apparently it has nothing to do w Japan as the name suggests.
Used burpple 1-for-1 voucher for 2 steamed items - Jap dumpling & spinach shrimp dumping
Ordered red curry roast duck and clear tom yum soup. Both are pretty decent and flavourful. Looking at the amount of lemongrass in the soup I know it wouldn’t fail!
I have to give it to the char siew. It’s pretty legit.
BUT, the burpple beyond vouchers are almost impossible to use if you are dining in with a group of 2.
- first of all, those signature meats (i.e. Char Siew, roasted pork, etc) are NOT part of the 1-for-1; the voucher for meat is really for other normal meat dishes.
- secondly, the voucher for vegetable can be used for vegetable ONLY. I.e veggie with tofu does NOT count as a vegetable dish.
- thirdly, the voucher for rice or noodles are strictly for that specific category only. For two pax, I guess no one in their right mind would order a fried rice*2 or hor fun*2.
Overall, with that being said, it’s a place I may come back again but definitely with a group of 4-5 pax at least.
Previously they offered Wagyu which was already to-die-for. Fat Cow has up it Kagoshima A4 and even this Nagasaki A5 Striploin. Man, we just died and gone to heaven.
In addition to these awesome-licious steak, the bowl was filled with quality uni, caviar, foie gras and onsen egg, complete with truffle oil. It was just perfect.
Unwind at this cosy, casual bar over their housemade Yuzu Makgeolli ($22) and quintessentially Korean anju (bar snacks)! Expect modern but spot-on flavours. Community favourites include the Honey Butter Chick ($18), Joo Bossam ($26) and Seafood Rappoki ($22).

Which I need to revisit soon...miss that scrumptious Jap-style breakfast platter I had!
Limited selection on brunch menu though they offer a wider variety of pastas and mains such as Grilled Pork Chop and Wagyu Beef Burger. We settled for Smoked Salmon & Avocado ($19), Bacon Cream Pasta ($22), BBQ Pork Ribs ($24) along with small bites like Crispy Wings and Sweet Potato Fries. Overall a satisfying lunch, though i felt it’s kinda pricey in a hood like this.

Escape the Bugis heat into this quiet, cosy space for dessert! At $8.50, the Houjicha Soft Serve with Waffle is a sightly stack, topped with incredibly smooth and light soft serve. Burpplers also love the Yuanyang Waffles ($14) with rich Thai Milk Tea and Chocolate Fudge Gelato.
