Caffe Fernet is such a great place to go for chill vibes to hangout with friends/family over good food! @caffefernetsg Their grilled octopus was pretty yummy and great for sharing over a glass of aperol spritz!
Orhni chendol from @yatkayan was so good! The gula melaka was really fragrant and went surprisingly well with the yam paste. Also, the red beans they used seemed to be actual red (azuki?) beans rather than the usual kidney beans that many stores use — it was smaller and a lot softer.
Paid a visit to @fatcatsg ‘s newest location at Kovan! First visited their original outlet at Bedok (which was quite sometime before cafes/ice cream shops were as common as they are today) and happy that an outlet has conveniently opened up in the area! Tried their butterbeer and seasonal special flavour pineapple toffee tart. The butterbeer tasted a little too burnt (from the brown butter perhaps?) for my liking but their pineapple toffee tart was a winner! The pineapple flavours helped mellow out the toffee sweetness but the flavours still blended really well. They don’t have a dine-in area but they do have (limited) seats for small groups to sit and chat while eating ice cream/drinking coffee.

A little gem tucked away in the corner of Fortune Centre — A9 Noodles serves up cheap and comforting Chinese noodles and dumplings. 15 dumplings go for a steal at $4(!) while a bowl of noodles go for $4-5. Pictured is the pork meatball noodles which was super hearty and refreshing. The pork meatballs were also really substantial and meaty (and not doughy/flour-y like the processed ones). The mala noodles were also really savoury and good too!
Super good baklava from @ayasofya_restaurant_sg ! It’s been a while since the trip to Turkey and this really was reminiscent of the baklava we had there. The pastry was really buttery and flakey, and was still super crisp although it was well flavoured by the sweet syrup.
The tuscan seafood stew @lolascafesg was chock full of ingredients and very rich and creamy. The crispy onions added a great texture and flavour to the broth, which was amazing to swipe up with the crisp sourdough.
Had a really satisfying dinner at @mukjja_sg! The stir fried jjajangmyeon was a nice change from the usual one — being stir fried gave it a nice char fragrance and really brought out the flavour of the black bean paste. The tangsusyuk was super massive and very shiok to eat. Great for 2-3 pax!

The grilled octopus from @canchita_sg was a highlight of the meal. The octopus was tender and grilled to perfection, and went perfectly well with the tangy sauce and crispy garlic.
Finally managed to try the famed wagyu beef cubes from @tipsyflamingosg. At $18 per plate, this was pretty worth it in my opinion. The beef was really tender, and the slight truffle aroma really enhanced the flavour. Paired with just some salt and their frosty lager, this makes for a great sharing dish/appetiser.
Yummy anko toast from @kurasusg made for a nice tea time snack. The anko when mixed with the butter tasted a bit like kaya toast (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing). Great place for good coffee and to hang out with friends.
