Steak served with tarragon bearnaise and hand-cut chips. Worth the money especially with the lunch set. Steak was beautifully cooked, chips were nice, not too oily but might be better if they were crispier. But overall still a very good meal
Crackled Belly Pork, with savoy cabbage, clove & apple sauce, roasting juices. The pork was well-roasted, full of flavour. Wished there was a bit more veg, or sides to go with the pork, but otherwise, a very tasty meal.
A cosy corner hidden among residential HDB flats. They have green curry with other meats as well (beef, pork). Their version of green curry is the rich, creamy, sweet kind - only very slightly spicy and I wish it was spicier. Otherwise, for the price, it's pretty worth it. They have an extensive menu as well.
Very value for money, a lot of ingredients inside including prawns, crab, mussels (there were 32!!!), squid, instant noodles, tteobokki, etc. It's good for sharing between 3-4 pax. For the price point, it was very worth it, and comes with free soup refills as well. However the broth gets very salty, especially with the ingredients added inside, so drink more water.
A must-try for the tomato base lovers. Squid Ink pasta (which doesn't stain), served with Wild Mediterranean langoustine and prawns, topped with cherry tomato and seasoned with lemon zest and white wine. The gravy was really good - not too thick, more like a broth, and very appetizing.
An appetizer dish, basically comprised of raw tuna dices atop an avocado puree and mixed with croutons. It was a very appetizing dish as the raw tuna was marinated well with sauce and very fresh. It paired well with the creaminess of the avocado and the ratio was just right as well.
Overall the pancakes were not too bad but not super fantastic either. A place good for group gatherings, is a halal restaurant, and they have a huge variety of food choices. Worth it for burpple 1-for-1!
A pricey dish that I would not have gotten without the 1-for-1. Although the portion is small, I thought the combination was nice, with fat and juicy fish roe for texture, a perfectly poached egg, cream, and mango for that tinge of sweetness among all the other savoury ingredients, all on top a potato rosti that was decent. It was a pleasant meal, just didn't like the veg that came with it as it was quite out of place.
Set comes with a side and drink. Very very value for money and cheap somemore. Curry was nice and flavourful, meat was tasty (there's a variety of meats as well). Like its name suggests, it's like a tea hut, very very cosy corner. This stall has been here in TPY for a long time and I hope it continues to stay there as I will frequently visit it.
A pretty good place for mala. There were a wide variety of ingredients (about three racks!) and also all of the ingredients were well-cooked and prepared. Paid $18.90 (for so many ingredients!) but that was during their promotional period. They're on Fave as well so mala lovers can regularly return and enjoy the cashback :')
A neighbourhood cafe that serves desserts, drinks as well as snackers/mains. They even make bubble tea with an assortment of toppings! The interior is themed, suitable for people who want to take photos for Instagram. The ice-cream is fat free and hence supposedly less sinful. Will be back for that cozy/homely feeling. What's better is that they open until 3am for those who want supper in Toa Payoh.
I feel that this is a very very underrated place that deserves more attention (even though its salted egg neighbour gets more attention). The beehoon, though not the most flavourful I've eaten, still tastes very homely and they gave a lot of ingredients. Good for 2 small eaters, but I still happily finished it. Their pork chop rice was fantastic as well. The owners are SUPER friendly, chatted with them for a bit while waiting for our order, and they repeatedly assured us that our food was coming soon. Will be back again.
