Japanese leek, marinated trout roe, salted kelp, oyster emulsion (part of the $38 3-course lunch set) Umami and rich, the Japanese leek crowned with marinated trout roe, salted kelp, and oyster emulsion ($16/ ala carte) was a wonderful starter too (especially if you like leeks). An intriguing mix with the sweet charred greens, creamy sauce and briny pops of ikura.

Orzo pasta, Angus beef cheek, celtuce, garlic confit, and celeriac puree ($38 3-course lunch set) Lunched in style at Lumo. All for their $38 3-course lunch set, I particularly enjoyed the Orzo pasta with Angus beef cheek, celtuce, garlic confit, and celeriac puree ($23/ ala carte). My first time having the small, flat, oval, grain-shaped pasta and I am in love. With a pleasant gentle chew, the delicate and smooth pasta managed to soak up the all-great savoury, garlicky flavours. So comforting and surprisingly hearty. The beef bits were also fork-tender and not gamey. What’s more, the super nutty, celery-like flavour of the celeriac puree was very complementary.

Atas dinz place Recommended dish 1) Ice plant- it has a very nice texture to it. Interesting dish! 2) Burnt cheesecake- im a fan of burnt cheesecake and this cheesecake definitely didnt disappoint! But it is on the pricier end! 3) Smoked cod fish liver dish- went really well with bread 4) The lumo- sweet!

Kimchi Fried Rice Generous amount of beef given and handful bites of kimchi. Not so spicy and excellent taste. $8.80

Cheese Ramen Too cheesy that I felt it is too overwhelming. It just felt that everything is too cheesy but the texture of noodles is good. Definitely not for someone who is not a cheese lover 》$7.40

Kimchi Ramen This is a place I would think of if I’m craving for ramyeon in town especially on a rainy and chilly night. Nothing special except for some simple and comfort Korean cuisine that serves up very affordable meals by Koreans. The texture of noodles are just right, slightly Q and chewy then served in piping hot sour and spicy kimchi soup with fresh and crunchy kimchi. Not to expect to have a lot of ingredients for the price paid but toppings are available at additional cost to make your ramyeon much more satisfying 》$6.80

Mentaiko Salmon Don I finally tried their Mentaiko Salmon Don (cooked) ($17.90) after so long of wandering for at least 2 years ago. Back in 2018, I went to Japanese Curry Express for Salmon Mentai Don with one of my poly friend. She also ordered same as me that time but we didn't wanted to share together because the portion was quite small but its quite filling tbh. I saw @foodee.diaree's reviews for 2 weeks ago and reminded me the shop still opened at there till now. I preferred Mentaiko Salmon Don to be uncooked but my stomach got some problems with diary products (I didn't want to take risk anymore and need to play safe) I felt that it was quite overwhelmed with mayo but I felt that their salmon was really fresh and so good.

Wagyu Beef Don I did asked my friend about differences between Tanuki Raw and Rakki Bowl for Wagyu Australian Wagyu MB5 (Signature Truffle Wagyu Don) - $14.90. She didn't answered my answers lol. (probably I just want to know the differences in terms of taste and pricing) I knew the pricing differences between australian and japanese wagyu in terms of quality.

Delicious Salmon Don Tamago is sweet and salmon not overly cook. Overall food is delicious Just that the music play in the store is weird

Mitsubishi sushi Bar Duxton Road You can assess the quality of sushi by the sliced ginger they serve as well. The ginger is rubbery and rough. Waitress serving food is also preparing the sliced fish. The waitress torched the fish, picks up the sushi pieces with the unwashed hands! Tried their omakase and my view is no point having quality of quality is compromised. I wouldn’t come back for sure.

Part 3/3 - Dragon Maki The 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶 ($26), stuffed with generous portions of soft shell crab and crispy crab stick, was excellent as well.

Part 2/3 - Wagyu Steak Set The 𝗪𝗮𝗴𝘆𝘂 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗦𝗲𝘁 ($38) was sublime as well. Amazingly tender and juicy, pairing it with the crunchy fried garlic was the epitome of enjoyment. Both sets came with sashimi, salad and Chawanmushi. I was highly impressed with the sweet and briny clam miso soup, which same with the sushi set.

Kimchi Pancake Crispy and fluffy on the inside, this kimchi pancake is fried to perfection. Best eaten immediately when served.

Chicken Stew And Beef

Mmm warm and comforting #Korean food on a cold rainy day is the best combo everrrr 👍 #pancake #samgyeopsal #stew #yum #bancan

Omakase- Assorted Sushi Didn't paid attention when the chef was introducing the various fish because I was just too excited. If I remember correctly, it should be scallop and shrimp sushi. The sashimi was outstanding as expected and it would be perfect if the rice was more firm and had a sticky texture.

Omakase- Foie Gras Chawanmushi I was very pleased at the generous serving of foie gras and it was so well done that it can literally be considered meat butter as it was so rich and buttery. The only catch is that it was so overwhelming I could hardly taste the chawanmushi. It would be better if paired with something else.

Omakase- Beef The beef cubes literally melted in my mouth as it was so soft and chewy that it almost felt like sashimi instead. The beef is slightly charred on the exterior while retaining the tenderness on the inside. When paired with the fried garlic bits, the sauce on the beef was accentuated even further. Definitely the highlight of the omakase.

Yuan yang pot Amazing freshness. Skip the buffet - go for ala carte .

Super Good Hot Pot!!! This was so good omg!!! One of my new favourite hotpot places to go to! Ordered the pork bone soup and tomato soup and holy the tomato soup was so good, I kept drinking it (coming from someone who hardly drinks soup lol)! Ingredients were super fresh and generous too. Definitely a must go!!!

🎶It’s getting’ HOT in here, so take off all your clothes~🎶 Dinner with friends = HOT pot time! ✌🏻 Inspired by @eatbooksg who ordered everything on the menu at places like Shake Shake, A&W & The Alley (honestly we were just being gluttons 🐷🐷🐷), we ordered almost everything on the menu of @upinhotpot. 😂 After hours of feasting (& we did a decent job in finishing most of the food, it cost us $50 per pax (for 6 ppl), which I felt was very reasonable! 👌🏻 [NOT SPONSORED!] . We ordered the dual yuan-yang pot with their signature Tomato Soup 🍅 & Butter Soup (essentially Spicy Mala Soup 🌶 with blocks of butter!) for $18++. Honestly speaking, it was extremely intimidating looking at the amount of butter (& dried chillies)  floating atop at the start 😱 - I could already feel my arteries choking up. But as they melted, the fragrance of the butter enhanced the soup base, which became a faint aroma especially after topping up soup. 🥣 . We ploughed through the wide range of food items they offered & was delighted with the variety. 😍😍😍 Meats (prime beef $15 🥩, black pork $12 🐷, pork belly $8, mutton slices $10 🐑) were tender with no gamey taste, mash shrimp paste $12 🦐 was fresh, meatballs (we had cheese beef balls $12, mushroom meatballs $8, handmade pork balls $8, sweet corn pork balls $8) were firm yet bouncy. 💕 . It was Fear Factor (Upin edition) 😱😱😱 with exotic items like Beef tripe ($12) & Swine throat ($12) but these were 2 items that we wouldn’t recommend as they were too tough. 🙅🏻‍♀️ Pig’s Stomach ($10) & pork liver ($6) were alright though! 👌🏻 . Not only was it a gastronomical experience, it was also a cultural one - there was Sze-Chuan 变脸 (face-changing) performance 💯, as well as Dancing Noodles performance, just like at Hai Di Lao. 😊 . Will we return? The answer is Yes! ✔ Mental note: do not over-order next time!

Normal Tasting Food We had 6 of us for dinner.Service was extremely fast and okay. The food tasted normal as expected.But abit on the bland side.The Prawns with Cereal Oats were good though but usually it's very hard to screw this dish The Oyster omelette was a total let down. The Oyster were not fresh at all and it stink!

Cajun Chicken Aglio Olio ($14.90) If you're looking for a Muslim-establishment that serves up decent pasta, I am... cafe has got your back! One of the OG cafes in the area, I am... serves up simple, yet hearty dishes, ranging from pastas, to burgers and many more! With #BurppleBeyond, we were only able to select from the pasta section & went for the Cajun Chicken Aglio Olio. This dish packed a punch with their Cajun seasoning but did not overpower the entire dish. The spaghetti was lightly tossed in olive oil, and topped with a grilled Cajun chicken-a simple yet tough dish to master.

Penne Pesto Pasta ($15.90) Located at the entrance (from North Bridge Road) of Haji Lane, I am... cafe can be easily spotted from afar with it's large signage and Alfresco-like dining space. As a Muslim-owned establishment, their dishes are made accessible to more cafe-goers who enjoys visiting this area! An early lunch meant that we could grab a seat at this popular cafe and we ordered the Penne Pesto Pasta ($15.90). It comes with perfectly booked penne served with a large portion of grilled chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, olives and pesto herbs. The chicken was pre-shredded, but still retained some moisture to ensure that it's tender. The pesto was well-balanced without being too salty and the sun-dried tomatoes added a nice sour tang to the dish. Overall, a satisfying dish to re-order when I visit! Thankfully with #BurppleBeyond, we got this at 1 for 1, so my pasta was half the price, definitely worth it!

Good For Groups! Pastas and Burgers all taste super good! I recommend Cajun Chicken and Chicken pesto if you're getting the 1-for-1deal. They have several seating for groups of 4-6.

BBQ Beef Grilled Cheese Sandwich Portion was huge and the entire sandwich was oozing with the beef brisket and cheese! Think they used like 3 different types of cheese but with the flavour from the beef brisket, it really wasn’t overwhelming at all. It comes with real hot soup in a mug (cute!). We got the mushroom soup which was also really nice and full of flavour - kinda feels like it just warms your soul?

Good Ol’ Eggs Benny Had the eggs benedict with stewed spinach! My eggs were perfectly poached and runny and the hollandaise sauce was yumz but tbh I’d skip the spinach - felt like it was unseasoned and it didn’t really work with the whole dish. Oh but I really really like the roasted potatoes!
