Le STEAK Ordered ribeye steak well done but unfortunately it came a bit medium rare. Blood Reddish in the centre. :(

Savoury waffles Stack of waffles with candied bacon 🥓 and a scoop of ice cream. Extremely indulgent start to the day. The waffles were crisp yet fluffy (thankfully) and therefore eased off some of the heaviness which would have came along with the candied bacon and ice cream (a lil’ too sweet for the morning!) Nevertheless, a good meal of savoury and sweet delights!

Ondeh ondeh hotcake [$15] After the descent of Earl grey charcoal hotcake, ondeh ondeh hotcake is back on the menu once again! ✨ Pandan flavoured hotcake embedded with salted coconut ricotta creme, topped with Pandan coconut gelato, sprinkled with toasted coconut flakes and served with a side of gula melaka sauce. A deconstructed and revamped version of the Peranakan kueh that we are all familiar with, the hotcake was soft, fluffy with a slightly crisp surface layer that carries off a lingering aromatic pandan essence and fragrance. The texture was done to an ideal perfection- soft, light and sufficiently moist 💖. Unfortunately the salted ricotta creme got outshone by the distinct Pandan essence, harbouring a negligible effect to the overall flavour unless you were to consume it in silo. The colour of the Pandan coconut gelato got me turned off initially with an artificial shade of neon green but fortunately the taste did not disappoint, a pleasant sweetness of coconut that was also refreshing though the texture could have been better if it was smoother and less icy. The toasted coconut flakes added a crisp, fibrous mouthfeel to the hotcake, a complimentary and perfect pairing to the hotcake, where the resemblance to ondeh ondeh kicks in. Unfortunately, this would not be available anymore, with the cease of operations at @artistrycafesg 👋🏻 . . . #burpple #smitteneats #smittenchoice

Peanut butter & Jelly French Toast [$15] . And so... today marks the end of @artistrycafesg ‘s service and operations 👋🏻😭. Apart from the brunch, one thing I would miss most is this French Toast that surprisingly far exceeded my expectations, officially one of the best I have ever had (apart from @sarabethsofficial that I tried in Taiwan). Had initially wanted to try it last weekend, but it was already sold out by 12pm😭. Came back on a Friday afternoon (and reserved this just in case) which certainly did not disappoint, to which both my dining and I enjoyed it truly, polishing it off in no time, although she doesn’t even have a sweet tooth in the first place, unlike me. The brioche toast soaked in spiced custard was soft, fluffy with a pillowy texture that is filled with peanut butter and raspberry jam. A nutty, roasted flavour and aroma coupled with a subtle tartness from the fruity jam, it was clearly a winning combination that surprisingly didn’t turn out to be overwhelming or saccharine as expected! 💖 Served with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream that was smooth, creamy with a fragrant milky flavour, the addition of the mixed berry coulis provided a tinge of acidity; a good counter balance to the other sweeter elements. Wouldn’t mind giving this a 2nd try... but unfortunately its extinction prohibited me from doing so 😭 . . . . #burpple #smitteneats #smittenchoice

Aburi Broccoli Salad Woah! This bowl of broccoli was really beyond my expectation! The broccoli was torched to crisp. Together with the parmasan cheese and papadom sprinkled on top, which added an extra point to the dish itself. Recommended 👍🏼

Char Siu Pulled Pork Fries Is just shoestring fries mixed with nachos cheese and pulled pork. Not much of char siew taste

Roasted Salmon With Ebiko Scrambled Eggs And Edamame Mash Salmon was baked to a nice softness. Scrambled eggs was just quite normal, but the edamame mash gave this dish an extra oomp! Recommend 👍🏼

The Mini Ultimate Murtabak is still respectably large. Ordered the Ultimate Murtabak as well to share on a recent visit and I get why it’s popular. Filled with tandoori chicken, portobello mushrooms, hot and ooey-gooey mozzarella cheese, it’s a really tasty package deal. Strictly speaking, the fish curry gravy (which you help yourself to) isn’t even necessary but it does bring another fragrant facet of flavour to the mix and changes what could pass off as a Mexican quesadilla into a local Indian delight instantly. The Mini version ($9.50+) is what we got by the way, and it was big! I can only imagine how many people the Ultimate Murtabak in the original size would be able to feed.

My standard order. What is it about fried dough and curry that gets most of us so happy? I don’t have an answer but when the urge for a Roti Prata rises, one of the places I head to is @springleafprataplace in Jalan Tua Kong. They are such an innovative company - just look at the fancy Prata creations they have come up with over the years. I have tried a couple of them but truth be told, my heart still yearns for the basic Egg Prata ($2.50+). However, I do like to spike it with sliced green chillies for some fresh heat ($0.70+).

Milk Tissue Prata [$2.50] The milk here is condensed milk and it tastes like a lovely dessert prata. I love tissue prata because it’s crispy and it’s not too heavy on the palate as well... and this one is also sweet without being too surfeiting!

Red Velvet Cake >$5 Cake was good and yummy. I think fix is only good at their desert section.

Fried Chicken With Green Chilli Set >$12 Barely tasted the chicken. A lot of batter added to the chicken. I know they trying to make it crispy but not like that. And the green chilli sauce was okay. Nothing fantastic. Disappointing.

Salmon Set >$20 It looks pathetic and tasted the same. Not buying that ever again. Miss their old menu which include naanwich etc. Now it's just like every other cafes selling basic food.

More milky than the usual bingsu 𝐈𝐧𝐣𝐞𝐨𝐥𝐦𝐢 𝐁𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐮 (𝐋𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 - $𝟏𝟑.𝟗𝟎) I think Nunsaram does their shaved ice well, it’s milkier and has more substance than other places, which would explain the satiating feeling as you dug into it. However, it wasn’t compensated with enough toppings, as seen by the naked spots of the sparse soybean powder. They did serve a generous portion of delicious tiny bits of mochi, and there was somewhat of a second layer of power, but I found myself digging spoonfuls of plain ice shavings pretty often.

Student-friendly Korean place! The 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐭𝐞𝐨𝐤𝐛𝐨𝐤𝐤𝐢 ($𝟏𝟒.𝟗𝟎) was a perfect sharing platter, with rice cakes, fried dumplings, fried seaweed rolls, fish cake and gimbap! The sauce is sweet, not the most spicy, and it went well slathered onto the ingredients. We ordered an additional 𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐆𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐩 ($𝟖.𝟗𝟎). I’d say that this was a pretty generous portion for the price! Overall, the food is nothing mind-blowing. However, they often have promos, when we went, it was $2 off the bingsu if you ordered it with the Tteokbokki. The three of us ended up paying $14.20 each for 2 meals and 2 desserts to share, and for a super satiating and fulfilling meal, I would say it’s pretty worth! Nunsaram is a good student-friendly place to go, and I would definitely come back with friends! IG: @eggeatsbread

Choco Banana Bingsu This mountain of shaved ice was coated with Choco powder and encircled in banana slices. It was topped with whipped cream, brownies and rich chocolate ice cream. Every mouth had a burst of chocolate flavour and there were even more chocolate powder within the shaved ice. The condense milk gave another kick to the dessert and my friend and I were certain we were gonna get diabetes after this hahah Sinful but worth every calorie!! Taste: 8/10 Presentation: 8/10 Embience: 8/10

◾Mont Noir [$8] Everyone knows the matcha powerhouse that is @hvala_sg - a place that combines both the delectable Japanese tea and the arts. I've popped by the different Hvala outlets here and there but I didn't make a proper visit to try out their gorgeous desserts until recently. One of the entremets that caught my eye was their Mont Noir. It was a tough decision to pick between the Noir and the Matcha Mont Blanc variation but I went with the Noir in the end. Filled with chantilly cream, sesame feuilletine, sesame chestnut paste and almond frangipane. The Earthy dessert checked off all my sesame boxes, with a subtle hint of sweetness. Compared to their Matcha offerings, this was much more tamed and definitely helped to cut through the richness if you're having any of their Matcha drinks/desserts. I still feel like I've not fully explored the menu at Hvala and I'm definitely down to head back soon.

Tea Break Hojicha latte is soothing although I prefer it hotter. The Matcha latte is smooth and good. The sesame ice cream is thick "gao". I prefer eating this to their sesame cake. I chose the green tea ice cream level 2. I think I am a green tea lover. I am gonna try level 3 the next time as I prefer it stronger.

Matcha Galore For Matcha lovers, this is the place to go. Went in a weekday night and yet the place was packed. Ordered Matcha Latte, matcha ice cream and Matcha cake. The decor was very Zen. Minimalist and peaceful. They have a time limit of 90 mins for each table so that others can enjoy the ambience.

Blooming Onion Service was soooo slow I think they were severely understaffed or sth n food was rly meh tbh :’) Actually grilled salmon was nubbad but if we didn’t have burpple beyond 1-1 rly not worth af hahaha. Blooming onion was good but super super oily and took 28362929 yrs to come so when it finally arrived we were q full alr LOL. Prob won’t be back

Would Rather Go To A Popular Western Food Franchise Joint. Made a reservation a month ahead to celebrate an special occasion. Reached and saw that there was less than 5 tables dinning, It was during peak hour on a weekend. Ordered the New York Strip in medium-rare and it came almost an medium-well. The piece of meat was over salted and one side of the steak was nicely seared and the other side almost looked like it was steamed with little browning. The bf ordered the combination No Rule Paste with chicken & shrimp, the chicken was dry and tough while the shrimp was your typical crunchy frozen shrimp. The only good thing about the meal was the corn on the cob. With the amount I spent there, I could have went some where else and gotten cheaper and better steak, twice. Staff was friendly though.

Outback Special (8 oz) ($35.90++) Got this steak medium rare. The steak was firm and juicy, but not impressive and the seasonal vegetables were a little too dry. Was worth it only with 1 for 1 with burpple beyond!

Messy Goodness First experience here. Ordered the Titanic Pot. Was disappointed that it did not come with their signature sauces. But felt so much better to find that the seafood was fresh and that they go well with the typical sauces (sambal, thai and lemon garlic). There were two crabs and a lobster in the mix. The sausages are from a halal supplier. The staff offered to cut up our crabs and lobster at our table. Wonderful service!

Caboodle Mix Eventually tried it. Hmm... I think it's too oily and plain for my liking. For my opinion, Full of Crabs@east coast road tastes nicer.

Crab In Da Bag! Disappointment received after arriving at Crab In Da bag. With the expected amount of crowd would gather in the restaurant. So we decided to arrive 10mins early before our reservation timing which was 8pm. But we stood there foolishly for almost 15mins without any staff that was attentive attending to us or even to inform us about the delays of our reservation. I sincerely advised them to come up with a dining policy for their restaurant as an improvement for their poor customer service management due to overwhelming crowd hogging on their tables for more than 2hours! Other than that, the food was absolutely fine! With Summary of our order for 4paxs: - 2x Boston Lobsters - 1x Sri Lankan Crab - 1x Cray Fish - 1x Tiger Prawns - 1x Venus Clams Total bill: $328 ($80 each!)

Ginger Lemonade / Iced Lemon Tea The ginger lemonade is made using actual fresh ginger juice. I like how the zing of fresh ginger plays off that sweet-tart base 》$6 Each

Miso Pork Belly Bowl The miso pork belly bowl comes with homemade pickled cabbage, yakiniku sauce, onsen egg, sesame seed, spring onion and chunky slices of pork belly laid on top. The pork belly was thick and slightly charred to a nice burnt flavour. It was tender and juicy but I couldn’t taste the miso. Dipping it with the yakinuku sauce helps with the flavouring 》$17.90

Chilli Crab Pasta Spaghetti cooked with homemade chilli crab sauce and curry leaves, presented with a crunchy soft shell crab on top. The pasta was al-dente with a chewy bite. The sauce was done with the right amount of sweetness and a tinge of spiciness 》$18.90
