4 munchies: One of the best pork jowl dishes I’ve ever eaten, the slightly charred strips of meat were grilled to tender perfection with crisp texture. The tofu purée might be light and smooth, but I’d have preferred it served as a dip on the side as there was too much purée doused on the flavourful pork. Thankfully, the mentaiko and Vietnamese-infused sauce enhanced the smokiness of the hog with savoury and fiery flavours! #Burpproved

2.5 munchies: Thick cuts of portobello sandwiched in layers of soft and tender baby spinach, topped with buttery pine nuts and crispy shallot. Unfortunately, there was barely any sweet-tart flavour in the greasy sun-dried tomatoes. The raspberry vinaigrette was also bland and lacked tanginess. Go straight to the live carving station for the BBQ Louisiana Ribs with melted raclette cheese for a jazzy weekend brunch!

3.5 munchies: Sink your teeth into one of these impeccably deep-fried slivers and it’s impossible to stop at one. The savoury goodness made me want to pair it with a cold pint of beer! If only the salted egg sauce were coated evenly on the salmon skin, though. #Burpproved

3 munchies: Handmade fresh daily using only premium-grade flour, Thai fresh milk, and eggs with no added preservatives, the fragrant charcoal cheese egglet was filled generously with mozzarella cheese. Do pick the smooth and creamy coconut ice cream to complement the savoury, slightly chewy egglet. I say lose the Pocky sticks and rainbow crunch that did nothing for me.

2.5 munchies: These baby back ribs didn’t quite fall off the bone exactly the way ribs should be. Brushed with tangy BBQ sauce, each rack was smoked and grilled to tender – would have liked it to be less dry, more succulent and saucy, though. Crispy fries are served on the side.

4 munchies: My go-to place for excellent poké bowls after a high-energy BodyPump session at Pure Fitness and/or an invigorating hot vinyasa practice at Pure Yoga. Featured here is the Standard Nalu that comes with 2 scoops of poké (Spicy Ahi Tuna & Original Salmon), 2 complimentary add-ons, (cherry tomatoes & walnut), and 1 complimentary superfood (avocado) for $15.90.
As committed purveyors of freshness, Aloha Poké sources its sashimi-grade salmon and tuna from Norway, Tasmania, Indonesia, and the Philippines. The poké might have been seasoned to perfection with house-made sauces, but the freshness of the bite-sized chunks of fish never fails to come through. #Burpproved
4 munchies: Topped with ultra-creamy cream cheese frosting that was neither too heavy nor sweet, the carrot cake was incredibly moist and light – unlike the dry ones that you get from most places. You could also tell that carrots were grated by hand, which made the fine pieces melt into the cake batter. It was a slice of classic, perfectly-spiced carrot cake with flavours of cinnamon and nutmeg. #Burpproved

4 munchies: One of the must-order dishes at Basil Thai Kitchen, this plate of prawn omelette was so fluffy and aroi that I could finish it with a bowl of piping hot steamed white rice. Though there was hardly any taste of prawns, the omelette was deep-fried to golden brown and crisp perfection with added crunch and fragrance from the basil leaf toppings. Be sure to dip the egg in the mild Sriracha that comes with it. #Burpproved
