Mia Restaurant 4⭐ Back at one of my favourite pasta cafe for dinner. Opt to top up $3 for the handmade tagliatelle and didn't regret it. The tagliatelle is akin to mee pok and yet is much more chewy. The pasta is well coated with the red sauce and is generous with the ingredients which consist of mussel, squid, clam and prawn. WB prefer a non pasta dish hence he had the wagyu burger. There is a choice of doneness for the beef patty and he prefers medium well. The beef patty is juicy and bread is toasted well. WB loves the shoestring french fries which is fried till very crispy. #MiaRestaurant #FruttiDiMare #WagyuCheeseBurger #Entertainersg #Entertainerappsg #HSBCEntertainer

Excellent Pasta Dishes Pasta dishes done well. Enjoyed the crabmeat tomato pasta and the vongole. Very worthwhile with the 1 for 1 deal.

Chicken Chop Horfun Anyhow eat. Cutlet can't really go wrong but the rest was ordinary. What I remember about this place is they're messy af.

Lu Rou Mian Anyhow eat. Quite a nonsense dish. What I remember about this place is they're messy af.

Fried Bee Hoon ($5) Type: Restaurant/local/asian Decent place to get a meal! We ordered the Bee Hoon which actually tasted pretty good. Just felt that it’s kinda expensive at $5, but definitely can’t compare mall prices to hawker centre. Next time, will try other dishes like Lu Rou Fan which seems more popular! Rating: 3.5/5

Tsukimi Udon Tsukimi Udon ($8.80) 🍜🍜 This was a simple egg udon with thin udon noodles! 🥚🍲 Initially, the bowl we got wasn’t the hottest (in temperature) but luckily, the restaurant’s boss noticed this and immediately offered us a replacement bowl. Their service was really really impressive and truly the second bowl was piping hot fresh out of the kitchen 😌♨️ .

Yakitori Set (5) Yakitori Set of 5 sticks ($13.80) 🍢🍡 We chose 2 x Pork wrapped Enoki, 2 x Miso Buta and 1 x Pork Wrapped Asparagus You could really taste the miso on the skewers and the meat was SO juicy (unlike a certain place oops)! The pork wrapped enoki and asparagus tasted really good too, even the veggies absorbed that pork goodness! 👍 . Taste: 4.5/5 Stonks: 4/5 Overall: 4.5/5 ❤ must try! . Tamako Meal is a jap restaurant tucked along Casuarina Rd and serves up simple jap food that tastes like your mum made it 🤩at very affordable prices !! We come here about once a month and have never been disappointed ☝🏻 the crowds get crazy around 7, so do make a reservation or come down after 8 to avoid the queues! (p.s. use favepay ecards to score some cashbacks for your next visit cuz you’ll DEF be back 🤞🏻)

Pork Yakiniku Teishoku Set 📍tamako meal (thomson) @tamakomeal . Pork Yakiniku Teishoku Set w Garlic Rice ($13.80 + 2) 🍱🍱 This is hands down the BEST jap bento we’ve ever had before. The variety of side dishes is crazy and they don’t skimp on the portions! The stir fried yakiniku pork was thiccc and tasted so GOOD! 🐷 The sides included fried silken tofu, potato salad, edamame, tamagoyaki, chicken karaage, and ebi fry 🍤🥟🍗 🤤We highly recommend topping up $2 to get the garlic fried rice because it’s so flavourful and aromatic. 🍚🍚 We’ve never had such a value-for-money bento at a jap restaurant that tastes so much like home cooked goodness! 🥰 .

Mandu Decent.

Beef Soon Tofu Set For something branded, surprisingly mediocre. They shout about the tofu but the tofu was actually quite bad. Overall just a typical hawker Korean level. Yes, the seaweed is off the shelf.

Seafood soontofu $7.9 Famous soondubu chain for a fraction of the price! I like it even better than the restaurant these days! Never fail to visit if I’m in amk!

Impressive Donburi for Neighbourhood Hawker We ordered the curry katsu & shrimp tempura dons at usual price $11 each. We were pretty impressed by the presentation of the bowls. Portion was average, sufficient. Food was tasty except the tempura was a little on the soggy side given how we didn’t wait very long to eat. However would say definitely worth the 1-1 deal on burpple.

Donburi Bought the chicken katsu curry rice, and the fried tempura ebi rice for $11 (with the 1-for-1 deal). I would suggest to have curry go with your rice because it’s good, and it’ll be a little dry without the curry.

Karrage & Ebi Curry We enjoyed it for the 1 for 1 deal given!

Ember 2/2 - Burgers We also tried two burgers. The 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿 ($16.90) fared better as the slab of chicken thigh was succulent. The 𝗣𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿 ($17.90) was good, but not great, although the caramelised onions did make it more enjoyable. The shoestring fries that came with the burgers were addictively crispy. Overall a pretty decent meal and I wouldn't mind returning to @embercharcoalgrill to try its other grilled items. 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐥 𝐆𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥 Blk 332 Ang Mo Kio Ave 1 Unit 01-1881 Singapore 560332

Ember 1/2 - Striploin Ember Charcoal Grill specialises in grilled meats using binchotan charcoal. There were also a few Burpple deals available, such as 1-for-1 House Brew and 1-for-1 Croffle. But since we ordered three main courses, the 30% Off Total Bill deal was the most value-for-money. The 𝗦𝗶𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘀-𝗳𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗶𝗻 ($25.90) was the star attraction on the menu. It came with a choice of two sides and a sauce. Even though the steak looked the part, with a beautiful pink centre, it was slightly overcooked and was tougher than expected. However the sides were sublime, while the Miso Kombu Butter added a depth of flavours. The Grilled Broccoli, with its crispy edges, was particularly praiseworthy.

Ember Classic Waffle This was a surprise to me as I didn’t order it. But they found out this month was my birthday from my reservation on Chope. A complimentary home-made basic waffle in half, served with summer fruits and maple syrup. I definitely love the soft texture of the waffle, paired with the sweetness from the fruits and syrup.

Fish Soup XO Noodles (SGD $8) @ Hong Kong Street Long Ji / Hong Kong Street Long Kee. This unassuming stall offers a range of zi char dishes, alongside a traditional fish soup. You have a choice of adding XO (extra old) brandy or not, the default is without alcohol. . If you opt for the non-alcoholic version, the broth remains decently rich, with primary notes of the white pepper, black pepper, ginger, and evaporated milk, being milky sweet savoury peppery spice in taste. . The long silky smooth rice vermicelli noodles carry mild grainy sweet notes, while the crunchy chye sim / chinese flowering cabbage lends vegetal sweet flavour. . The medium fillets of boneless toman / snakehead fish are chunky and soft, with meaty sweet salty savoury flavour. I like to add chopped red chili for a spicy kick. . . .

XO Fish Bee Hoon 📍 香港街龙记, Ang Mo Kio Warm bowl of noodles on a rainy rainy afternoon 👌🏼💯 Service isn’t great and a little slow though.

Fish Soup With Beehoon($6) I’m not usually a fan of milk fish soups, but I wanted to drink up all of this fish soup! I’m not sure why it’s so good – is it the XO? Or the slices of ginger? Do they boil the fish bones in it for a long time? It’s so tasty! The other highlight is the fish. The fish here are not fish slices. They’re thick hefty meaty chunks of fish, and there’s lots of them, making it a very value-for-money bowl.

Popcorn Chicken Rice Popcorn Chicken Rice ($10.20) I preferred their diffferent toast flavour especially ham and cheese bread over their rice mains tbh. Even though their popcorn chicken was slightly salty and dry aftertaste but I felt like that their rice mains was quite average (normal).

Braised Pork Rice The popular toast shop from Taiwan has since opened a few outlets here in Singapore. Was looking for lunch in NEX and decided to try their braised pork rice. I would say it is a very common taste of braised pork rice, but not too good in term of the taste comparing to those authentic one.

Ham & Cheese Ham & Cheese ($6.20) it's just so good vibes tbh with cheddar cheese + ham. the cheese just melted off with ham. especially made only for SG flavour.

sc@m bro explain to me : 1. adult price 17.90 but the 1 for 1 is 26.90 2. third person cannot use student price, forced to use adult price 3. not found anywhere in the t&cs never coming again for mid food and this sc@my deal 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 do better

ridiculous customer service went there on a tuesday afternoon, 2 pax, both students. showed them the page of the burpple 141 all day buffet before entering and the cashier said can use on that day. after finishing the meal, they charged me wknd adult prices for the 141! even though we were both students, and we went on a weekday lunch … charged me 30.80 for 2 pax when if without the deal, i would have paid 35.40 for 2 pax student lunch anyways. absolute clickbait when didnt even specify in t&cs of the deal itself, only told us after we finished the meal. dont ever go there what a misleading advertisement to attract customers.

Korean Tteokbokki Hotpot Buffet 4⭐️/5 (Applicable for burpple 30%) [Dinner buffet $19.90 + cheese ring $9.90 before GST] Pretty unique buffet with lots of variety like the tteokbokki, deep fried dishes and fish cake stewer. Ordered the classic soup which is sweet, flavourful and not spicy. The cheese ring contains sweet corn which I think should be left out, haha. Finishing the hotpot, there is an option to fry the rice with the left over soup base but I think the fried rice was a meh.

Taste of Sri Lankan Lychee Achcharu $8 Egg Hopper $7 Dahl $12 Lamb Shank $42 Watalappam Tart $16

3/5 Crab Cutlet 2/5 Seeni Sambol 4/5 Wambatu Moju 3/5 Dahl 3/5 Poricha Erachi 2/5 Crab Curry 3/5

Watalappam tart 16++ Coconut Custard and jaggery(indian cane sugar), topped with a white chocolate cream. It tastes like a pecan pie without the pecans kind of, the crust is soft and quite dense. The filling has some complexity, and the white Choc cream works as well All in all an easy to love, safe dessert, not too much wow Overall: If you're looking for safe food with familiar flavours and frankly trite but textbook execution, this is your place. However if you're looking for something to blow your mind, this is as far as it gets. It's almost exactly what you would expect, really, and not in a good way
