Previously known as Torii Izakaya, this snazzy Japanese resto-bar at Duxton has since revamped. You're here for their decadent Truffled Beef Donburi ($28) featuring a generous beef slices, caviar, truffle mayo, foie gras and an onsen egg. Also good are the Pork Belly Garlic Fried Rice ($19) with succulent grilled pork belly, fried egg, garlic and scallion and Hearty Toro ($28) maxi for sharing.
Don't miss this newly opened izakaya joint near Berseh Food Centre! Their menu might be small but they make it up with their value-for-money donburis. Priced affordably at $14.90, their Unagi Don was "adequately savoury & sweet teriyaki glaze" which "envelopes the half fillet of freshwater eel, and the simple yet savoury unagi shares the bowl space with an explosive onsen egg & some rice" and had Burppler Russell Leong thoroughly impressed. Other must orders include the Chicken Yaki Don ($14.90) and Mayo Karaage Don ($13.90). Finish off your meal with a pint of beer.
Instagram-worthy ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ก๐๐๐ฌ๐ ๐๐จ๐๐ฌ๐ญ; where the sourdough toast spread with lemon and dill cream cheese was generously topped with smoked salmon, ikura and microgreens.
If youโre looking for a dish with an umami punch, definitely try the ๐๐๐๐๐จ๐จ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ซ๐๐๐จ; consisting of al-dente pasta covered in cream sauce and topped with tiger prawns, white clams, crab meat, ikura and drizzled with in-house crustacean oil.
Burger was Worth it with Burpple Beyond,
Drinks not so much... had a few drinks (2 All-day Happy Hour house pour and 1 glass each that came with the Burpple meal)
Total damage: ~$66
Breakdown:
Burpple Beyond | Bacon Cheese Burger $16 (1-for-1)
Burpple Beyond | Aperol Spritz $16 (1-for-1)
Happy Hour | $12 Sparkling Wine (Bottega, Prosecco Italy 2018) x2
Review:
Burger had thic juicy patties, brioche buns were pretty special to me but also quickly absorbed the patty oil and became semi-soggy (Tip is to eat fast)
Drinks donโt get la lol, very much preferred the ale I had the previous visit! V smooth, get that instead :-)
Portion was quite big, could share with another person. Food was great and I love the fish & Chip sauce.
The proteins in the salmon and beef rice bowl were pretty well done:) the edamame was rather impressive too. would have loved more sauce. CHAI LATTE WAS GREAT!! The ambience was the best part of the meal imo.
The Bravery is one of those names that should not be a stranger to most who have been cafe-hopping since the uprising of the third-wave coffee movement โ the Muslim-friendly establishment at Horne Road had since moved out of its former premises, and found new digs at Amoy Street recently, and is currently in its soft launch phase serving up a menu that differs between breakfast, lunch and dinner hours.
Being an item off the lunch menu that is being served only between 11am to 3pm, the Seafood Alfredo features elements such as tiger prawns, white clams, crab meat, cream sauce, garlic, shallots, crustacean oil and Ikura. While some pasta purists may lament on the use of cream sauce for their rendition of an Alfredo which usually only involves butter and parmesan, the Seafood Alfredo is an item that would please the average cafe-goer who are less into traditionalist approaches to cafe fare, and are more accustomed to the creamy pasta that is pretty much a crowd pleaser otherwise. The pasta here is seems to be done slightly past al-dente; slightly softer with lesser of a bite, but not particularly bothersome. Otherwise, the noodles are tossed in a mix of rich cream sauce and crustacean oil; the latter added to give a slight umami note that cuts across the creaminess for some balance โ a nice touch to have in my opinion. Coming with a good variety of seafood, the clams were fairly decent, while the crab does give the pasta a slight crustacean sweetness that enhances the flavours of the crustacean oil used; the prawns could however be slightly fresher, though should still be pretty decent for those who are less picky overall. Not a fan of the microgreens (i.e. Alfafa sprouts) that they have included as a garnish; perhaps a slight sprinkle of herbs such as rosemary or thyme would have done a better job given the stringy texture and the slightly โgreenโ flavour that we were not too much of a fan of, and did not seem to gel well with the seafood elements of this dish.
Hadnโt been back to The Bravery for quite a while; my visit to The Bravery previously was when the concept was still being run by the same folks behind The Plain and RONIN (both of which had since closed, and are succeeded by PUNCH and Gather). Times have changed pretty much for The Bravery; while we are unable to comment if they had pretty much stayed the same or have been consistent at Amoy Street when compared to their time at Horne Road after those times, The Bravery does seem like a spot that would work well for the folks who prefer safe and conventional cafe fare without being particularly over-the-top โ a spot that would work decently for those who are just looking for something comforting that will not go wrong.
With team led by Sous Chef Melvin Lam and award-winning Head Barista Maryvn Tan, diners can expect an elevated menu comprising new dishes and their signatures dishes, freshly-baked treats and quality brews.

@dough.coffee is a new concept by @glyphsupplyco which focus on comfort bakes and hearty food, but youโll be sure to get a good coffee here.
Be greeted by the โbakeryโ section, whereby you can pick up bakes such as Babka ($9), Smoked Duck Focaccia ($6), and Passionfruit Black Tea Cake ($8), to go with that speciality coffee after youโve been allocated a seat. Or check out the main menu for something more substantial.
