at a price of $10++ on Thursdays, this burger was quite a steal. a small mountain of pulled pork sat atop fluffy brioche buns, completed with onions, pickles and sauce. while the meat was juicy and tender, I would opt out of pickles next time because I felt that it made the whole burger slightly too acidic!
got this at 1-for-1 with a Chope voucher and luckily I did, because I felt the original cost was pretty overpriced for such a small cup of acai. however, the berry mixture was refreshing and saturated with fruity flavours and not diluted or icy which I appreciated. loved the cookie butter too!!! the girl gave us quite a generous drizzling of it :-)

one of the best yakiniku I’ve ever had!!! beef slices were tender and well marinated; upon grilling they didn’t become dry at all no matter how well done I’d cooked them 🙌🏻 the marinade was kind of like soy sauce but the meat’s smokiness complemented it so well. sides like kimchi and miso soup complete a set to balance everything out and really made me feel that this pricing is worth it! 😊
again, opted for the smaller 200g cut and it was filling enough - maybe also due to the accompaniment of 2 complimentary sides that were well portioned (though the picture may not look so)!! comparing this to the striploin, I actually prefer the latter because it had a higher ratio of fats which I personally feel adds to the meat’s flavour and makes it more tender as well hahah! but this was also cooked perfectly to my request of medium and had a wonderful texture as well! the mac & cheese was pretty unique as well; the cheese used tasted slightly different and better than usual mac&cheese from other places!
got the smaller 200g portion and it was filling enough for me! I requested for the meat to be cooked till medium and to my delight it was served with a nice outer sear while its interior was still slightly pink - just what I wanted 😍 the meat was tender and easy to cut through yet still chewy and I love that it wasn’t totally lean and had some fats to contribute to its flavour. I opted for an herb butter sauce and LOVED IT!!! fragrant and buttery, it combined with the beef juices and elevated to whole dish. the free sides made my meal feel even more worth it as they were substantially portioned. I’d definitely come here more often if they weren’t so far away 😢
I like that you can customise your own bowl of ramen and make it unique from everyone else’s, from the richness of the broth, to the spiciness level, to the noodle thickness. For this bowl I chose a light broth and they delivered. light and easy to drink whilst still sufficiently maintaining a pronounced tonkotsu flavour, this broth was addictive. the thin noodles I opted for were perfectly cooked and not too soft; easily slurped up as well.

ordered level 8 spicy and it was soooo good 🌶!!! the spice rly has a kick as it travels down your throat without being too pungent or peppery! it almost feels comforting 😂 the soup base by itself is really rich and you could tell it was packed with fatty pork bits that enhanced its creaminess. I opted for pork belly and it was quite a decent size with melt-in-your-mouth fatty parts and tender, fall-apart lean meat 😍! the noodle portion was really big as well!! this was one satisfying meal :D

not to be confused with the King Fone Cheezo Cone, this is a single-flavoured cone with the King Fone Tea flavour. I accidentally ordered this (I wanted the King Fone Cheezo Cone) and sadly regretted it as I didn’t like this as much. the tea flavour was not pronounced and the soft serve carried a mild powdered cheese flavour which was not as rich as I was hoping for.

one of my go-to quick dessert fixes in town because of its quality + affordability which makes it a really valuable find!! this is a mixed swirl with King Fone Tea and Cheese flavours. both flavours complement each other surprisingly well, with the light and refreshing tea fragrance balancing out the richness of the creamy cheese side.
rating: 4/5!!
served warm, the light crisp toast provided a satisfying crunch which complemented the chewy mochi filling. meanwhile, a generous honey drizzle paired well with the slight charred undertones of the toast. the sprinkling of peanuts completed this comforting plate of dessert by adding an earthy nuttiness to balance out the flavours.
the shop’s ambience is very relaxing and comfortable with plenty of seats within its 3-floors space. large windows provide an abundance of natural light which makes the whole environment very chill!

at a special Tuesday promotional price of $10, this double-pattied(!!!) cheeseburger is amazinggg. the patty was flavourful and well seasoned with hints of smoky charcoal fragrance. leaning towards a medium-rare doneness, the meat was slightly pink in the middle and remained tender throughout, melding perfectly with the cheese.
oh and the bunssss 😍 slightly crackly tops, insanely soft and fluffy insides. buttered as well!
so glad I finally made the trip down. will be back every Tuesday from now on 🤪 also if you’re planning to go as well, do make a reservation beforehand! it was really crowded when I went and I was so thankful I made a reservation because there was a queue 🙊

another bread from Kengee Bakery at Our Tampines Hub! this bun was pretty big for its price tag 😍 there were crushed oreo bits sprinkled on its top which enhanced the milky, chocolatey taste of the bun. its cream cheese filling was very substantially portioned and was not too sweet unlike some other bakeries’! it was slightly tangy and also not cloying so I was able to finish this bread happily. ☺️
