๐ŸฅŸ I am a huge sucker for dumplings, gyozas, baos, you name itโ€ฆ so couldnโ€™t miss trying @gyozasan_singapore in @sunplazamall

The ultimate destination for Japanese comfort gyozas, these babies are pork-free and lard-free, and I bet you won't find flavors like these anywhere else ๐Ÿ™Œ But that's not all, their menu also features an amazing selection of bentos ๐Ÿ˜‹

The wait was around 7 minutes (takeaway only, sorry no dine-in ๐Ÿ˜”), and we saw that they were hustling non-stop with multiple delivery orders (they now offer island wide delivery at https://order.gyozasan.com/)

The set includes teriyaki chicken, 3 original gyozas and kimchi (kinda random as totally wasnโ€™t expecting this combo haha)

The teriyaki chicken was the star of the show, bursting with flavor and tenderness that left me craving for more. The original gyozas were also noteworthy with a plump and juicy filling cooked to perfection.

My friend brought me to Singapore's largest outlet @immoutletmall for great deals from sportwear/fashion brands (including Nike, Charles & Keith, Furla etc) and we ended up discovering the new branch of @chankooden here!

We had the pleasure of sampling (that promo is already over though) a piping-hot bowl of umami-packed dashi broth, infused with the irresistible blend of bonito and kombu ๐Ÿฒ It was love at first taste, which was what lured us to try this comfort food!

Out of all the 20+ options available, we got the below ingredients and were incredibly satisfied and gloriously stuffed afterwards

- White Radish SGD1.5
- Seaweed Knot SGD1.5
- Chikuwa SGD2
- Chicken Cheese Ball SGD2
- Lobster Ball SGD2

They also offer baked sweet potatoes (SGD 2.9-3.5), which is the ultimate healthy snack after a long day of shopping!

One thing that makes their gelatos stand out are the artisanal locally-inspired flavours, in which the botanical ingredients are gently infused. My favourite so far is definitely the ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐—ป, as the natural grassiness was distinctive yet subtle enough that it wasnโ€™t too overwhelming to finish the entire scoop. The other one I really loved was the ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜‚๐˜ ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐˜ that was light and refreshing on the palate.

Another pull factor is definitely the freshly handmade cones (you can watch them make it from the glass window) that attracted me in the first place. The crispy cones have hints of thyme, making that extra dollar super worth it.

Quick notes on the other flavours that I tried:
- ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ผ: very smooth, earthy and rich - yums!
- ๐—น๐˜†๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฟ๐˜†: tangy sweetness with fruity and floral drops, above average
- ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฎ-๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜ ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ท๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฎ: too roasted and bitter for my liking, would skip

The only downside is that there is a constant queue and you canโ€™t try the flavour before making up your mind

The three-storey cafe in Tanjong Pagar oozes contemporary style and I would recommend going up to the 2/F for a more comfortable environment. The 1/F seating areas lack air con while the 3/F attic is cosy yet a little too dim for your insta photoshoot

I donโ€™t usually dig bolo buns (btw bolo means โ€˜pineappleโ€™ in Canto, but just refers to the resemblance instead of actually containing any fruit), but this has got to be hands down THE BEST ever compared to the ones Iโ€™ve had in HK

The warm bun itself was a textural delight with the outer crust being ultra crispy while the inner was soft and pillowy. The huge cold slab of butter in the middle was such an indulgence, but really elevated the entire taste

We were super amazed by the impressive variety of quality food that was available. Here's our fave parts:

1. Live Prawn Station
Ok, so I originally thought this was just for display and didn't realize that you can actually use the tongs to catch the prawns in the water tank. It's definitely not as easy as it looks though, as some cunning prawns pretended to be dead or nimbly scurried away. Once you do manage to get one though, remember to dump it in the nearby ice bucket for it to faint. These were obviously the freshest possible and had an excellent chewy texture.

2. Meat Grocer/ Skewer Bar
Highly recommend the wagyu beef cubes which were just so heavenly tender and lustrous. Tip: add cheese and garlic butter from the skewer bar to elevate the taste. Would also suggesting trying out the different cuts of Korean marinated beef!

3. Appetizer
There were plenty of options for sashimi and sushi, which were quite delicious and make sure to eat them first or else they will get too hot.

4. Desserts
To end your meal on a sweet note, the cookie and cream/pandan cake bites are a nice choice (the swiss rolls are less sugary though) or check out the ice cream freezer near the beverage area.

Named after one of the mandopop starโ€™s albums, @8degreesatsg is the perfect place to prepare for the show by listening to his catchy songs while gobbling up authentic Taiwanese dishes at affordable prices ๐Ÿ˜

We visited the Jalan Besar branch for late lunch on the weekend - the place was buzzing with lots of takeaway orders ๐Ÿฅก Luckily we got a table immediately and food was served quite promptly

My go-to Taiwanese comfort food is always good old lu rou fan (pork belly rice) and this signature dish certainly did not disappoint. The portion size was just right while the savoury braised meat bursted with flavour.

The chewy noodles topped with cucumber slices were slurp-worthy too despite the garlic flavour being a tad bit overwhelming.

Both beverages were above average, but we would recommend choosing 0% sweetness as the boba itself is quite sweet already.

Surprisingly this was my fave, as the refreshing nature helped beat the hot weather, plus the smooth texture and slight sourness of the plum jello at the bottom of the bottle really stood out ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

I ordered this just #forthegram and kinda regretted it ๐Ÿ˜… Donโ€™t get me wrong, I actually quite enjoyed the sweet strawberry milk, but the creamy panna cotta made this feel more like a dessert than a drink, and was quite heavy after lunch that I still felt bloated till dinner timeโ€ฆ so I would recommend sharing with someone ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Yes, Iโ€™ll give it a second chance and would probably try their tea-based drinks next time ๐Ÿต
