Affordable dishes! there are so many cafes in this area i have to check all of them out soon oh my! anyway, i had the Beef Bolognese ($12.90) + Soup & Drink Set ($4.90) (Cream of Tomato & Mango Fizz) for dinner. the taste of capsicum and red peppers was really strong. not the best pasta, but i guess for this price, it was alright. the cream of tomato was not bad, it had a taste of sour cream which i liked. the cheesy garlic bread at the side was something interesting, compared to the usual plain garlic bread. in this picture also included the Smoked Duck Aglio Olio ($14.90), Tom Yum Seafood Pasta ($14.90) [which is their recommended but i'd say it was alright, i could cook that at home myself] and the Chicken Chop ($13.90).

Spice Up My Pasta 😋 Tom Yum Seafood Pasta ($14.90) was both tangy and spicy. Juicy prawns and clams with that creamy tom yum sauce! I love how cafes go creative on their menu! 😊

Craving Fusion Pasta Tom yum seafood $14.90 (-20% at 12am). Juicy crunchy prawns & huge clams, and amazing combination of cream & Tom yam spice.

The BetterField has found a new home at Kelantan Road, housed in the same location as Ms Durian where you can enjoy the savoury favourites from The BetterField and end with durian treats. Start off with the Wagyu Tartare ($25) of A5 wagyu beef paired with parmesan crisps and gherkin capers before cutting straight into The BetterField’s signature French Duck Confit ($28), duck leg that has been slow cooked till tender and juicy before being seared for a crispy skin. Complemented with a berry compote to cut through the richness, it is also served alongside potatoes, sautéed spinach and mushrooms to give a nice earthy flavour to the overall dish. Finished table side, the River Prawn Alio Olio ($30) is torched to give a nice smoky flavour and eaten with pasta that has been tossed in a garlic and spicy olive oil mixture. This is definitely luxury maximus as the meaty river prawn is cooked perfectly with a nice tender bite. To finish off the meal, Ms Durian has a range of durian treats from the Classic Mao Shan Wang Durian Cake to Durian Ice Cream. •••••••••••••••••••• 🍽️ The BetterField x Ms Durian 📍 11 Kelantan Road, Singapore 208604

The BetterField is one of the restaurants that we have supported since their opening and every single time that we are there, the food never fails in terms of quality and affordability. With more people heading back to the office now, the restaurant, which is in the CBD area, is a great place to chill and unwind after a long day’s work. To go along the drinks, there is the launch of their French Japanese Fusion Dinner Set Menu, priced at $48 for 3 courses and $58 for 4 courses. You can select entrees such as Freshly Shucked Japanese Hyogo Oysters served with mentaiko and truffle cream, Truffle Scented Angel Hair Pasta with chives, fresh lemon juice and Sakura ebi or the Pan-seared French Foie Gras on a brioche bun and topped with berry compote (additional $8 supplement). Thereafter, you can transition to the mains with options such as Steak & Frites with truffle mustard and mesclun salad (additional $10 for aged steak, $20 for wagyu), Pan-seared Salmon with beetroot puree and maple mustard with a side of broccoli and Seafood Marinara with tiger prawns, scallops and squid. End the meal with a sweet treat of Belgian Chocolate Fondant that is made in-house with a bittersweet chocolate or the Azuki Bean Coconut Cream, a refreshing treat garnished with fresh fruits. ••••••••••••••••••• ✨ The BetterField 📍 140 Robinson Road, Crown at Robinson, Unit 01-02, Singapore 068907 🍴 [Media Invite]

Average food and very poor service I really don't recommend this place. Food is average and service is very very poor. I ordered the duck confit. It's slightly better than Cedele. And Cedele's duck confit is pretty mehhh. Poor service. Signage says open at 5pm. I was seated at 6pm and had my order taken at 6.03pm. Was told that chef is stuck somewhere and coming over in 15 minutes. Waited for 25 minutes with zero updates in between. Staff doesn't even bother to serve water or anything to make it up for this awful experience. 20 minutes later then staff asks if I want water. 25 minutes later the chef finally arrives. The staff tries to justify that the chef has to work at another kitchen in the area hence the wait. This is my first and last time here. Would never recommend anyone to this place. Extremely disappointing :(

salmon with yuzu aioli not the best salmon don i've had, i went there with quite high hopes as i've read the reviews before going there. the salmon and rice was overcooked, the yuzu aioli was given in small amounts and it didn't really have the yuzu taste. dissappinted really, but i would go back to try their other dishes. taste: 7/10

Comforting, affordable Jap food bowls from @grilllosg ! Oozy Japanese curry over rice and hearty katsu will surely please your tastebuds. Grilllo has come up with not one, but two Katsu Curry Bowls to satisfy any hunger. Pork or chicken bowls available for this! Thanks to @grilllosg for hosting us and to @geekyelephant for inviting us! :) #grilllosg #pasarbella #suntec #jkadverts

Still one of my favourite places for rice bowl as I kept going back for their Yuzu Salmon Bowl ($12.90). Grilled salmon fillets bathed in light zesty yuzu sauce topped with chives, accompanied by two perfectly grilled baby corns and a house made salad. For those who like a more citrusy taste, just squeeze the lemon wedge at the side. Not forgetting to add on their sinful yet delicious Truffle Lotus Chips ($4.00)! • Grilllo Address: 3 Temasek Boulevard, Unit 01-455, Suntec City PasarBella , Singapore 038983 #Grilllo #GrillloSG #pasarbellasuntec

Savoury waffles Stack of waffles with candied bacon 🥓 and a scoop of ice cream. Extremely indulgent start to the day. The waffles were crisp yet fluffy (thankfully) and therefore eased off some of the heaviness which would have came along with the candied bacon and ice cream (a lil’ too sweet for the morning!) Nevertheless, a good meal of savoury and sweet delights!

Ondeh ondeh hotcake [$15] After the descent of Earl grey charcoal hotcake, ondeh ondeh hotcake is back on the menu once again! ✨ Pandan flavoured hotcake embedded with salted coconut ricotta creme, topped with Pandan coconut gelato, sprinkled with toasted coconut flakes and served with a side of gula melaka sauce. A deconstructed and revamped version of the Peranakan kueh that we are all familiar with, the hotcake was soft, fluffy with a slightly crisp surface layer that carries off a lingering aromatic pandan essence and fragrance. The texture was done to an ideal perfection- soft, light and sufficiently moist 💖. Unfortunately the salted ricotta creme got outshone by the distinct Pandan essence, harbouring a negligible effect to the overall flavour unless you were to consume it in silo. The colour of the Pandan coconut gelato got me turned off initially with an artificial shade of neon green but fortunately the taste did not disappoint, a pleasant sweetness of coconut that was also refreshing though the texture could have been better if it was smoother and less icy. The toasted coconut flakes added a crisp, fibrous mouthfeel to the hotcake, a complimentary and perfect pairing to the hotcake, where the resemblance to ondeh ondeh kicks in. Unfortunately, this would not be available anymore, with the cease of operations at @artistrycafesg 👋🏻 . . . #burpple #smitteneats #smittenchoice

Peanut butter & Jelly French Toast [$15] . And so... today marks the end of @artistrycafesg ‘s service and operations 👋🏻😭. Apart from the brunch, one thing I would miss most is this French Toast that surprisingly far exceeded my expectations, officially one of the best I have ever had (apart from @sarabethsofficial that I tried in Taiwan). Had initially wanted to try it last weekend, but it was already sold out by 12pm😭. Came back on a Friday afternoon (and reserved this just in case) which certainly did not disappoint, to which both my dining and I enjoyed it truly, polishing it off in no time, although she doesn’t even have a sweet tooth in the first place, unlike me. The brioche toast soaked in spiced custard was soft, fluffy with a pillowy texture that is filled with peanut butter and raspberry jam. A nutty, roasted flavour and aroma coupled with a subtle tartness from the fruity jam, it was clearly a winning combination that surprisingly didn’t turn out to be overwhelming or saccharine as expected! 💖 Served with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream that was smooth, creamy with a fragrant milky flavour, the addition of the mixed berry coulis provided a tinge of acidity; a good counter balance to the other sweeter elements. Wouldn’t mind giving this a 2nd try... but unfortunately its extinction prohibited me from doing so 😭 . . . . #burpple #smitteneats #smittenchoice

HANDS DOWN FAV French toast 🍞 📍Clarke Quay u know it’s good when u nearly cried after finding out it closed down 😭😭😭 just wanna do a review anyway for the memories they have sweet & savory options for the French toast; I’ve tried both. The sweet one comes with lots of berries, the savory one has BACON STRIPS and yes I prefer the savory French toast! The bacon went really well with the sweetness of the maple syrup AND the toast itself was super fluffy and warm with a slight crisp on the outside. an absolute masterpiece. I’m honestly so sad it closed down 😭

Every So Often I come to ronin every so often (as the title indicates) and it’s kinda a hit and miss with the scrambled eggs. I used to think the scrambled eggs were like the best in Singapore because it was runny like the Gordon ramsay style (if you know you know). But these days, it’s only like that half the time. Mushroom, bread and drinks are still good tho.

Savoury French Toast Although its called Savoury French Toast, its more of a sweet and salty meal. The toast with butter and syrup is so yummy I wouldn’t mind if they just gave me more of that. At first I found the braised apple kinda weird, but it cuts through the oily and saltiness of the bacon so it becomes a cycle of sweet and salty which is nice.

2 For $30 Crab?? This place is famous for offering good deal for crabs, and they also have a great selection of cooking styles (chili, cereal, salted egg, kam xiang, etc..) Preferred the salted egg over their chili sauce. Do order the fried man tou to soak up the sauce which was thick with flavors However, dont expect too much for the meat itself. But, at this price point, you can't expect a restaurant quality meaty crab. No issues with me since I always enjoy scooping up the gravy with fried man tou over the crab heh

Chili Crab Goodness! 27-Jan-18 ♡ The freshness of the crab ☆ 1 for $35 (large) Side note: The kangkong was very nice too!

Eat The Salted Egg Shell Too! Never thought that you could eat the shell of a hard shell crab? Neither do I, but you can do that here 🤤 The salted egg crab is fried beforehand and then cooked with the sauce, that is my new obsession with crab. The classic chilli crab is a good one too! With the thick egg chilli sauce. And what's eating chilli crab without fried man tou? The man tou is so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside Rate: 4/5 Avg: $20 (except only 2pax)

Chilli Crab Ordered Chilli Crab, Black Pepper Crab & 2 sets of fried mantous ($177.63 incl delivery) from @tpymellbenseafood! 🦀 The sauce of their Chilli Crab leaned towards the sweeter side - more like tomato crab! 🍅 We would have liked it to be spicier! 🤣

Black Pepper Crab Ordered Chilli Crab, Black Pepper Crab & 2 sets of fried mantous ($177.63 incl delivery) from @tpymellbenseafood! 🤩 The Black Pepper Crab stole our hearts - the natural sweetness of the firm & chunky crab meat 🦀 coupled with the peppery punch was so good! 🤤

Salted Egg Fried Rice A very well cooked dish of fried rice that has little surprises like sliced fish inside. Definitely tasty although not what I had in mind for a salted egg fried rice.

'Kam Heong' Chicken Kam heong chicken is a Malaysian Chinese dish packed with so many flavours. The sauce creates a very complex flavour of spiciness, sourness, sweetness and brilliantly savouriness in this dish. This is ideal to go along with rice and the chicken is tender, well marinated and chopstick-licking good 》$10/small

Big Prawn Hor Fun This is definitely the star on the entire menu. Hor fun drenched in thick gooey seafood gravy bursting with umami along with hints of spiciness. The big prawns were fresh and the portion was good with the right amount of wok-hei. It's legit good! 👍 》$19/small

Claypot Yong Tau Foo We ordered another of Kok Sen's signature dish, the claypot Yong Tau foo, as we saw this at many tables. While the dish comes with taupok, capsicum and Brinjal, these are not your run-of-the-mill ingredients as they are all stuffed with fish and sotong paste! The paste was firm and slightly bouncy and it didn't come with an overly fishy taste. The gravy was also great and it was brimming with flavour reminiscent of seafood. It is definitely great to drizzle it over your rice although we preferred the hor fun gravy for it's strong wok hey flavour! One downside was the small serving size for the $15 that we paid for the dish. It is enough to be shared between 2 pax (and maybe 3 pax), but you are better off getting a larger size if you are visiting in a bigger group.

Paella (1 serving: S$28, 2 servings: S$39) I suggested to Cat that we try J's for dinner as part of our Entertainer app adventures. The warm fluffy saffron rice dish with marinated chicken, tilapia and salmon is perfectly moist and aromatic. The chicken was amazingly tender and the chunks of salmon was so so fresh! We'd love to go back again for the delicious paella that wins in terms of fuss-free eating and taste.

Churros with Banana & Mango Churros layered with salted caramel bananas, fresh mangoes & coconut infused. It was a bit too creamy for me! ($12)

Lamb Tostadas Crispy corn tortillas with slow cooked leg of lamb served with spicy pick de gallo. Authentic taste! ($18)

Thai fried fish with mango salad It was super crisp and fresh! Best ever by far for me!

Thai Gold Gobbler’s response to this: Nah, don’t bother. Is priced affordably but only maybe if you are nearby and are craving for Thai food. The green curry fried rice was wet and lumpy :( The steamed fish with chilli and lime is fresh but not that any of the dishes we tried blew us away.

Beancurd Soup Never heard of Thai Beancurd Soup and we decided to try it and find out what it is! It looked pretty unappetizing to be honest and it's taste was rather meh. Furthermore, we felt that it was rather overpriced, because the soup contained tofu, pork, cabbage and carrots but cost upward of $6! Nonetheless, it is the only non-spicy soup on the menu and if you are with friends who cannot tahan tomyum soup, this might be an option to consider!
