DIY protein bowl ($14) MOJO offers one of the best built-your-own super bowl selections out there! I love almost all their supplements and proteins. All looks fresh and delicious as well! However, my go to is always their penne pasta for the base as well as their piquant oriental chilli & ginger glazed king mushrooms for the supplement! They are so generous with the amount of mushroom given and their mushroom is so so delicious and juicy! I also enjoy their roasted chicken leg so much as it is super tender and not oily at all. They gave us a complimentary cup of iced tea as well! Highly recommended! 🤩 Ratings: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Salmon Poke Tacos The Salmon Poke Tacos at Mojo was an interesting & yummy combination as the papadums were used as the 'tacos' to scoop up the generous amount of salmon, avocado and ikura! 😍And because it is Friday, happy hour martinis for us!🍸

Hearty Bowl to chase the Monday blues [$15] This bowl comes with option of 3 hot/cold veg! Very satisfying indeed Protein: Roasted Beef Ribeye Steak (already chopped up). Super yummy with the pesto! Base: Cha soba Hot veg: Roasted sweet potato, miso glazed eggplant. Loved these both!! Egg plant was flavorful and the sweet potatoes were really moist Cold veg: Roasted beet and carrot Dressing: took some Asian Glaze over my soba and had additional basil pesto on the side for the beef

To The Victor Goes The Spoils @victorskitchensg has always had a reputation as a modest & highly affordable dim sum shop. However, the years have flown by, and the GST has gone up, and Victor may not have a reputation for being insanely affordable anymore. First I’ll start off with the most value for money item I ordered: the Queen Size Siew Mai ($5.80 nett).⠀ ⠀ The Queen Size does live up to its billing, they are larger than usual, and each piece of siew mai is surprisingly delicious. The superbly seasoned minced pork is moulded into a cylinder, wrapped in a delicate skin, and steamed in the bamboo basket. The siew mai has a delightful density to it, and chomping down on each bouncy siew mai yields an addictive springiness. These siew mais are certainly fit for royalty, and they are fit for you too.⠀ ⠀ The Deep Fried Shrimp Dumpling ($6.20++) was the most expensive item I ordered, and although I appreciated the crunchy golden exterior and the bouncy shrimp filling within, other places do it for cheaper with comparable or better quality. The same could be said about the Steamed Pork Rib Rice ($5.50), which features fatty, juicy & tender pork on a bed of white rice. The pork ribs were adequately seasoned and tremendously tender, but the portion is kind of on the small side.⠀ ⠀ Although Victor’s Kitchen is still decently priced, the years have passed us by and it is certainly no longer the most value for money dim sum joint in town.

golden egg yolk lava bun ($5.30 for 3) have seen a lot of people raving about this! it's defo a good liusharbao but maybe i had too high expectations...? wasnt that impressive

HK style hot lemon tea ($2.90) the best kind of lemon tea. no concentrate, just black tea with a slice of lemon🍋

Wood Fired Tiger Prawns ($42). Upon entering The Dempsey Cookhouse & Bar, I was immediately mesmerized by the chic monochromatic interior. Exuding chic romantic vibes, it’s the place to go whether for a romantic date or a casual business lunch. Other than the affordable 3-course set lunch available, there’s also quite a selection on their a la carte menu. Go for the wood fired tiger prawns from the entrees as you will be served 4 jumbo tiger prawns grilled till just right, exhibiting a delectable smokiness on the hot plate. The prawns had been de-shelled so you can simply enjoy them without dirtying your hands conveniently. The pairing chili butter was, in fact, sweet and slightly creamy, somewhat like a Thai chili base. Topped with some shoestring potatoes akin to potato sticks, but they were slightly soggy upon serving. Recommended to pair with some sides such as vegetables, potato purée or French fries.

Crispy Salmon Sushi ($20++) By its name on the menu, I initially thought that the Crispy Salmon Sushi ($20++) would be an aburi sushi, but served was an interesting plate of raw salmon over crispy rice (somehow looking like a rectangular potato croquettes). Temp of the salmon was a bit (just if you let it sit long lol) affected by the temp of the rice (maybe you’ll only notice too if you’re very particular with the rawness of the fish). But (!!) the texture of the salmon and rice is very good. It’s also paired with chipotle mayo & touch of soya glaze which is a really great combi. It was a crowd fave that we intended to get seconds 😋

Crab Tartine With Grapefruit And Ginger A brunch item menu that contains a lot inspiration from Thai cuisine. It reminds me a lot of thai green mango salad that is spicy and tangy. The burst of citrus from the grapefruit enhance the main sour and spicy flavours of this dish. It's the equivalent of having the usual garden salad with Real chunks of crab in the Tartine in a European style brunch. The portion is not really huge and costs $26. Feels more like a starters than a main dish.

3/5 Bruschetta 2/5 Golden Seafood 2/5 Porchetta Baked Pork Belly 4/5 Eggplant Parmigiana 2/5 Cacio e Pepe 3/5 Sicilian Cannoli 1/5

Authentic Italian Food Managed to get reservation and ordered few dishes such as pizza ($10), fried rice ball ($9), porchetta ($10), parmigiana ($15) & tiramisu ($16). For the quality, I would say the price is reasonable and really worth it

Amaretti They have a section of Italian bakes. This is an almond cookie that's soft inside. The almond whiff was very strong so I'm not a fan.

Good tiramisu Tiramisu @ $13++ It's good, but we have had much better. The rum wasn't soaked through in the middle so the taste could have been better. Base sauce was mango and raspberry which didn't really go well with tiramisu.

Good pasta Crab meat linguine @ $28++ We have craving for pizza and decided to come this place which has been on our wishlist for quite a while. Decided to have 1 pizza and 1 pasta and we landed with this, which is good but we think the pizza was really great and we'll probably try more pizzas next time. Went for lunch at 2ish and they said there's 1 for 1 for any of their pizza, pasta and mains. Think we saw the promotion say mon - sat 1 for 1 lunch promotion from 11.30am to 2.30pm, which is really great and a very pleasant surprise for us.

Awesome pizza Prosciutto pizza @ $25.50++ Really great pizza! We absolutely love it! The pizza has breadlike base, but they managed to keep it thin with very great texture and the right amount of sauce such that it's not soggy and the base crust is crispy! Hits all the right spot for us. Flavour is great and we hope to try other pizzas next time. Went for lunch at 2ish and they said there's 1 for 1 for any of their pizza, pasta and mains. Think we saw the promotion say mon - sat 1 for 1 lunch promotion from 11.30am to 2.30pm, which is really great and a very pleasant surprise for us.

Ice Cream on Red Velvet Waffles Incredibly crisp-on-the-outside, soft-in-the-inside waffles sandwiching ice cream and drizzled with cream cheese. The plating’s done really beautifully too!

Sweetest Dealio! 1-for-1 Salted egg yolk popcorn chicken, superb-yummilicious-pasta (can't remember the name 😭) and southern fried chicken waffle... Absolutely delicious and irresistible 😍 Definitely a spot to check out if you're looking for something different from your usuals

Montana Singapore Nasi Lemak Waffle $16.50 Spiced Chai Latte $5.50 I was intrigued by the name of the dish in the menu Nasi Lemak Waffle. With the country in the patriotic mood, restaurants, cafes and even fast food are dishing out iconic and signature local infused items. As soon as the spiced chai latte was served, i could smell the aroma of the spice a distance away from the cup. There was a good balance between the spices, milk and espresso shot. So my expectations were high for the nasi lemak waffle. When it arrived at my table, i could have smelt a whole plate of nasi lemak if i was blindfolded. And the turn off came when i cut into the sides of the cutlet and see pink parts and i was sure there were even more in the thickest part of the chicken and i was not wrong. Highlighted that to the two staffs whom were chatting behind the bar and they apologised and offered to change a new plate. 15 mins later, a new plate was served and i could see holes on the chicken as the chefs wanted to be sure that it was fully cooked and i really appreciate that effort. The waffle was soaked in pandan flavor with ikan bilis topped. However, the waffle soften and was soggy after the chicken has been resting on it. Proceed to bill and staffs treat it as the uncooked chicken did not occur. Texted Montana on IG and even messaged them at their number on FB but no response for 3 days. Was quite disappointed with their non-chalant service attitude. #burpple

Delicious Unagi Tamagoyaki With Cheese Most people describe this place known for their custard puffs on burppler. But I was curious since tamagoyaki means grilled egg! I finally figured out that there are three ways to order tamagoyaki - ala carte, bento and value bento. Ala carte is a combi of 6 pieces of tamagoyaki with a protein - karaage, Kani, unagi, char siu etc. the amazing thing is you can ZENG your tamagoyaki with cheese or mentaiko for $2.90!! And you can’t do that with the bento sets (at least not stated on the menu). Bento comes with a protein, tamagoyaki and mushroom rice while super value bento comes with TWO proteins, tamagoyaki and mushroom rice. (Goes up to $14-15) my only grumble is where are the vegetables in the bento?? Can’t be a balanced diet if you only have protein and carbs and no fibers.. Of course, the best value of all is burpple’s offer of fry-yay bento for just $8!! Great if you’re looking for a full meal. For me, I just wanted a snack so I got the unagi tamagoyaki zeng-ed with cheese (YAY 😋). The unagi was seasoned just the right touch of sweetness and grilled with a little caramelized char!! And it went surprisingly well with my cheesy tamagoyaki. Which was amazingly soft and the cheese was melty! Also, it is still tasty after you reheat it in the microwave! 👍🏼 Can’t wait to try more variations and the mushroom rice!!

FRY-YAY everyday bento [$8] Available exclusively for the month of September, this special bento set differs from the usual options, providing the greatest solution to indulge in when you are spoilt for choices. Along with the signature tamagoyaki, there's also 2 pieces of chicken karaage (mine had 3 though 😁), 1 croquette and 1 tempura ebi served on a bed of umami mushroom rice. Do be prepared to wait for 10-15 min (depending on the crowd too) as the ingredients are freshly prepared and deep fried upon order. Though sinful, the variety of deep fried elements were done to a crisp and well breaded exterior. The chicken karaage was tender and succulent whereas the tempura ebi was fresh and juicy, with a panko crusted crisp exterior. The croquette too as well, had a golden brown exterior down to perfect crispness, withholding smooth, creamy mash within. Along with fluffy and subtly sweet Japanese pan fried omelette (aka tamagoyaki), the mushroom rice was flavourful with a pleasant earthy note, comprising of shimeiji mushrooms embedded within. . . . #burpple #smitteneats #smittenchoice

FRY-YAY BENTO Everyday at 8 dollars only👍 Satisfied meal, thumbs up👍👍👍 Mushroom rice, tamagoyaki, chicken karage, ebi Tempura, corn croquette. Full of ingredients with only 8 dollars. Faster try yours now. Small eater can share. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Service lacking graciousness very confusing Burpple Beyond rules for this establishment, so we clarified w the waitress, who told us that the tacos were 2 for 1, that the pair of more expensive tacos would be charged. But when we made payment, it turned out that we were informed wrongly. Yet, the cashier on duty did not give us the 1-for-1 as the waitress had initially told us. Extremely disappointed with their lack of graciousness in recognizing their own error

Claypot Mee Tai Mak This has a similarity to hor fun. Instead, it uses mee tai mak and comes with an raw egg aside from minced meat, prawns and chopped kai lan. Served bubbling in a claypot with savoury sauce and strong wok hei flavour 》$8/Medium

Salted Egg Pork Ribs Why does the colour looked overcooked or the oil used wasn’t clean? I personally prefer it to have slightly moist texture as this was too dry. This came really oily and they served ribs with bones intact, making it unfriendly to my teeth 》$10/Small

For Mee Tai Mak Worth the Wait Its relocation from Toa Payoh to Clementi means Westies are that much closer to this dark brown, glossy claypot of bubbling goodness. The Claypot Mee Tai Mak (from $5) may not be the prettiest of dishes, but it's darn tasty and most comforting on a cool, rainy day. The plump "rat tail" noodles are bathed in the thick and flavourful gravy studded with chopped vegetables, minced meat, prawns and a cracked egg. Be sure to add some chilli padi for a kick! As its name suggests, this place also does a mean traditional Fish Head Steamboat (from $23 for a small portion) — the perfect dish to share with your group. Otherwise, other zi char options like the Salted Egg Pork Ribs ($10) and the Boss Bee Hoon (get the small $15 portion to share between two to three) fare well. Pro tip: Call to reserve a table and pre-order dishes so you can dig in the moment you arrive! Avg Price: $15 per person Photo by Burpple Tastemaker Felicia Sim

Shiok maki 😍 Finally had my craving satisfied!! Went on a Friday night and the queue was so long that we decided to queue for sushiro but ended up waiting almost an hour which was even longer :-( decided to go for late lunch on Sat and waited for about 15 mins. Loooove the shiok maki $18.80+ for the eel one. It’s sinful but really so so good. Decided to be adventurous and try the pidan maki $16.80+ but didn’t really like it. Another must order which I forgot to take pic is the salmon fish head soup (sake atama soup $10+). The portion is so big and the warm soup just makes the meal more hearty. Spent about $27 per pax as we ordered agedashi tofu $5+ as well which could have been skipped given that there was tofu and vege in the soup. A must visit, no service charge!

Sukiyaki Pretty decent. The soup is not too salty.

Yaki udon Smoky and smooth fried udon with the vegetables providing that bite!
