Rockmelon sorbet w biscuit and basil cream The elements come tgt well, the basil wasn't too strong after you combine everything and eat in one bite. Rockmelon sorbet was quite pleb, a bit sour and not v sweet, and actl taste like a slightly icy sorbet. I'm sure there's no additives but there's also no mindblowingness

New portion Not overly salty anymore. The original price was way too much anyway for the quality. This was more medium well, it's quite a bit more cooked than the previous one. Surprisingly the edges are less charred, only the edges have the nice charred lamb flavour, again the rest of the lamb didn't have any particular flavour. The black olive sauce the dish came w didn't really pair well either

Te mana lamb chop 70++ Asked for medium rare and they delivered, but the centre is chewy still so probably medium is better Te mana is high overrated, it's not particularly tender and there isn't any particular flavour really. Also this was too salty but they were very nice and offered a new portion

XMAS MENU BLACK SUMMER TRUFFLE RISOTTO A lovely way to spend the night with friends @angiesoysterbarsg with their casual laid back ambience, great music, good service lovely staffs and of course the delish food. What I tried, BLACK SUMMER TRUFFLE RISOTTO Delicious! I fell totally in love with it on my very first bite. Earthy, flavoursome, umami. Topped off with Asparagus.

Xmas Menu USDA BRANDT PRIME RIBEYE A lovely way to spend the night with friends @angiesoysterbarsg with their casual laid back ambience, great music, good service lovely staffs and of course the delish food. What I tried, USDA BRANDT PRIME RIBEYE It’s very flavourful, rich tasting and tender. The fat also provides an insane amount of flavour that steak fanatics can't get enough. The red wine jus sauce totally bring out the flavour. Pair with Duck Fat Potato that is skillfully shaped like a log with exterior lovely crispy and inner tender soft. Perfect.

Grilled Meat Board | $138.80 Finally tried one of the most famous Greek cuisine spots in Singapore after all the procrastination. Really wanted the seafood platter, but got really unlucky as all kinds of fish were out of the stock then - so went for the grilled meat board which had lamb, sirloin, and filet mignon. No regrets. The meats were all beautifully bursting with flavour. Preferred the filet mignon over the sirloin because it was more tender, and also less chewy. The greatest of the board was the lamb chop - tender, fall of the bone kind of deliciousness, with none of that overpowering gaminess. Rate:🌟🌟🌟🌟

Xtapodi | $39.80 If you’re a fan of grilled octopus, please put this on your bucket list. One of the best I’ve tried, even though it’s marinated simply with vinegar and olive oil. The smokiness from the grilled octopus was terrific, and the texture was impeccable - not too mushy or soft, nor too chewy (you know how octopus gets sometimes). Missing it already🫠 Rate:🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Beef Pastitsio | $28.80 Greek macaroni, beef, baked with béchamel and a homemade Greek tomato sauce. Apart from the uniquely shaped tubular macaroni, the whole dish tasted like a classic lasagne🤭 Rate:🌟🌟🌟

Oyakodon 14++ Good as ever, take note it's very hot so don't mix the egg yolk in too quickly else it gets cooked and you lose abit of the creaminess

liver 3++ Creamy and unctuous. Still one of the best, despite the liver taste

Skin 3.5++ Lovely. Not just crispy,but sticky and chewy as well Excellent

Melon 24++ U don't get what you don't ask for, I asked and they so kindly obliged >< Charentais melon balls were super sweet from the marination, but the texture was thus diff from fresh melons too. Served w peach gum and melon juice(which wasn't too strong) By the side there's milk ice cream made by creamier specially for them, according to their recipe and oh god it was special. Somehow very smooth, and milkier than normal. This comes w pumpkin seed oil which was quite intense Overall pretty good, but idk if I would pay this normal price for it either

Burnt cheesecake 19++ It's funny how they don't call themselves basque when they're literally using idiazabal cheese. It's pretty decent, I don't like the slightly smoky edge from idiazabal cos I feel it doesn't mesh particularly well but maybe it's just me if this is meant to be authentic. Anyway it's not particularly strong so not a big deal. However it's a little bit dry at the side But way too ex tho, this is abit ridiculously prized

Scarmoza 30++ Served w pineapple compote. Honestly it's basically blitzed pineapple but it works well The scarmoza was rlly lovely. It's very meaty almost, esp when served beside the pineapple compote. There's crisp on the surface, it's got the most pleasant soft chew and sufficient bite, and smoky too. The only problem is the price. Otherwise I have no reservations about branding it a must try. Still tho, I'm really glad I didn't have to share this, this was very satisfying to chew on 3 massive chunks of scarmoza

Afternoon tea set Upscale casual restaurant that celebrates Southeast Asian flavours and crossroads. Starting with savory, we enjoyed the 𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐓𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐰/ 𝐂𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐫, an indulgent buttery and creamy bite. The 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐄𝐠𝐠 was a mix of rendang with oozy egg and a crispy breading. Rich and flavourful with a strong spicy kick. The 𝐊𝐮𝐞𝐡 𝐏𝐢𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐞 was generously packed and balanced but did wish for the shell to be more crisp. Moving on to sweet, 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐣𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐞 & 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐡’𝐬 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐬𝐞 was a delightful sweet and savory mix of feta cheese and date encased in crispy and flaky pastry. Our personal favourite was the mango sticky rice. Also had the classic traditional kuehs of 𝐊𝐮𝐞𝐡 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐭 and 𝐊𝐮𝐞𝐡 𝐊𝐨 𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐞. Comes with free flow tea or coffee. We enjoyed the chai which had a spicy finish, and the natural tasting rooibos. Found the matcha on the powdery and almost grassy side. 📍@hathawaysingapore, 01-37, 13 Dempsey Road, Singapore

Squid and prawn The squid and prawns is grilled. Can taste the BBQ smell when chewing it

Naan set Nothing special about this dish

Matcha Blueberry Donut Finally tried to get their donut so long 👀 bc I just passby food fair @ taka and also they got booth at there. I saw that they sell a variety of different flavour for donut but not much left as I went around after work. So my mum felt that their donut texture similar to bread texture but its slightly dry and a bit hard to cut thru. For matcha filling, I felt that it's not much bitter and blended towards sweet texture and a bit blueberry aftertaste.

Melbourne cookie - Looked similar to the ones from Folks and Stories, chewy and chunky! - Roasted hazelnuts gave a crunch to the ooey gooey texture with caramelised burnt honey in the cookie mix, with an acidic fruity undertone of dark chocolate. - Loved how full-bodied it was ✨

Chocolate hazelnut passionfruit lava tart - Wasn’t as oozy as I’d expected but the sweet chocolate was well-balanced by citrusy passionfruit and nutty hazelnut praline at the bottom 🍫 - Hazelnut cookie shell was super buttery and the crisp crumbly texture contrasted well with the creamy filling!

👍👍 👍👍

MaGal BBQ Spent around 200++ for 5 pax with two combo sets ordered plus some additional add ons. Meat was well marinated but favourite was still the skirt meat which is what they are known for! Good ambience and as usual will smell like BBQ after the meal.

Authentic KBBQ from Korean Chain The side dishes were perfectly seasoned, with the basic kimchi, spicy pickled radish and cucumber, fish cake slices etc (We had multiple refills!). The BBQ plate also comes with a ring of cheesy egg mixture. The meat was also well-seasoned, albeit quite expensive for its portion sized. The kimchi pancake is definitely worth a try for its flavourful batter and crispy exterior, as well as chunks of seafood. Overall a nice mid-range KBBQ restaurant to visit if you are in the area!

KBBQ Very tender beef.

Yangnyeom Gejang Lunch Set ($23) Each set comes with your choice of a mini kimchi stew or soybean paste stew. Compared to others I've had, the crab meat was softer and break apart easily. I kind of feel that the spicy marinate overpowered the pure taste of the crab meat and it was missing the creamy roe. The kimchi stew was rich, spicy and savory that was warm and comforting, especially when it was raining outside.
