Set Meal + Salad Buffet Finally decided to go for Hamburg Steak Keisuke not only for their meats but their salad & egg buffet. Ordered the classic Hamburg Steak & Deep Fried Set (consist of 2 prawn, chicken & beef) for a total of $53.70 including gst and service charge. The deep fried item was delicious especially the prawn. Of course, the egg (especially the tamago) is really delicious and would something I can continuously go for.

Hamburg The Hamburg is not bad. Particularly liked the free flow sides bar. Convenient location too

Great zichar in the area Among the many high end restaurants and bars located around the area, lies this inconspicuous zi char restaurant that was really pretty decent, while being relatively affordable! Their Fish Meat Soup ($20 for medium) is one worth commenting on. The soup itself is light, not multidimensional but still decent. What's good is their fish chunks which were huge and fresh! Many pieces were given as well. Love how meaty and flaky the pieces were! Their Yang Zhou Fried Rice ($15 for medium) came generous and I loved how fluffy the rice was. This has loads of wok hei and charred bits which flavoured the rice well. The Claypot Bringal with Minced Pork ($18 for medium) was also another dish we liked. Loved how the dish had so much umami flavours and that the bringal was really soft! Best paired with rice. Prawn Paste Chicken ($15 for medium) was unexpectedly good. Honestly, the colour of the fry was pale and we didn't expect it to be delicious. However, the outer crust was so crispy, and so full of umami flavours! The chicken was well marinated, as the seasoning penetrated the chicken well. Darn addictive! The Poached Chinese Spinach ($21) is a good vegetable option, as it not only came with salted egg and century egg, it came with flowy poached eggs too 😍 Flavourful but not too salty, this is a good break from all the rich meat dishes. I wouldn't say that the dishes were particularly mind-blowing, but they were definitely comforting. A zi char restaurant I will come back again for!

'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

Orange Ginger Juice Orange ginger juice-refreshing, strong ginger taste that strangely did not leave a bad after taste

Steak And Mash [$24] Slow cooked wagyu, truffle mash, mushroom, asparagus, kampot pepper. Beef was tender even though we asked for medium. Truffle mash was a little too buttery for my liking, slightly on the dense side making me find it hard to get through for parts without the gravy. Enjoyed the mushroom and asparagus which paired perfectly well. Overall, it's pretty good for cafe standards!

Hotcake & Fried Chicken [$15] Hotcakes, lemon battered drumstick and maple syrup. Hotcakes was real fluffy! Chicken was juicy, and batter on drumstick tasted pretty good, not too heavily breaded. Secretly liked how the maple syrup got on the chicken giving it that tinge of sweetness. Added on poached eggs for $4.

Balance burger indeed The creamy eggs, crispy bacon and the fresh tomato relish - balance indeed and yummy! Even the brioche bun deserve a mention, is pillowy soft and brown on the outside. 10 for 10!

impossible meatballs am a regular at grounded by cmcr and i've got to say this has been the most novel dish i've had in a while! the impossible meatballs ($18) are perfect for sharing! the taste reminded me of mexican food :3 may be a bit much for a single person to finish bc of the strong flavours. went well with the workout bowl ($17) that we were eating

Avocada Toast Very expensive plate of avocado toast but it tastes good. Bread was crusty and I like it that the feta cheese is not too pungent.

Alter Mega Platter @$74 1) Grilled Ribeye 2) Grilled Lamb Cutlets 3) Pan-Seared Salmon 4) Tilapia 5) Squid Rings 6) Chicken Breasts 7) Mussels 8) Curly Fries 9) Salad Served with dipping sauces as well. This Alter Mega Platter stated for 3-4 pax. I think not.... this needs at least 6 pax to clear. Large portions for sure. Ribeye was a little chewy, but tasted good. Lambs were tender but a little gamey The other ingredients were all added fillers for this platter to make us full, they were all rather good, but don't expect it to be awesome. Alter Ego seems like a nice place for gatherings or even hold events like parties or corporate events even. The most popular items are their Pokebowls, which what I will have the next time I am here.

Spicy Chicken Pizza @$25 The spicy chicken pizza was explosively spicy, with the sprinkles of red chilli padi, this dish will smack your lips like a bag of chillis. Alter Ego seems like a nice place for gatherings or even hold events like parties or corporate events even. The most popular items are their Pokebowls, which what I will have the next time I am here.

Tuscan Shrimp Penne@$25 Penne pasta with shrimps, Spinach, garlic onion, Parmasan cheese etc. The shrimps were fresh. Dish was rather appetising. Not bad. Alter Ego seems like a nice place for gatherings or even hold events like parties or corporate events even. The most popular items are their Pokebowls, which what I will have the next time I am here.

For Casual Modern Australian Fare on Beach Road Opened by the folks behind Cicheti, this casual bistro in South Beach is ideal for meals with loved ones (furkids included). Order their creamy and crispy Mushroom Gnocchi ($23), a side of crunchy Caramelised Brussel Sprouts ($10) and sous-vide Pollo with Couscous ($26) for a hearty meal. Sweet-tooths should go for the Banana Hotcakes ($21) that's best shared. Psst. The outdoor seating is sheltered, so you and your pooches can stay cool in the heat! Photo by Burppler Alicia Ng

Sticky Pork Belly ($25) First time at Fynn’s and didn’t expect to see this Thai inspired dish on the brunch menu. You’ve got this funky pork belly slabs on a bed of glass noods, crispy rice crackers, sprouts and coriander. Toss it all up in that umami packed nam jim sauce and it’s just super delishhhh!

Fynns by Chicheti A casual bistro that serves up decent dishes with great service and wont break your wallet. From top to bottom we had mushroom gnocchi $23 caramelised brussel sprouts(yummy!) $10 and pollo with couscous $26 Gnocchi was crispy on the outside and creamy like inside which i found delicious and the sousvide chicken was cooked to near perfection. The game changer was the brussel sprouts which were crunchy with the right amount of sweet and tangy. Ended our meal with their banana bread and coffee Total damage $87.. worthy even without a deal

What a pity that we came slightly late as they have sold out all of their desserts except the Mochi Donut ($12). Fortunately, this happens to be one of our favourites with the crispy exterior, chewy texture of the mochi donut with the earl grey ice cream. A perfect pairing of hot and cold. •••••••••••••••••••• 📍Brotherbird Coffeehouse 32 Bali Lane, Singapore 189868

Review: Stateland Cafe (Part 3/3) Finally knew why the Earl Grey Bursts with Softserve [$15] is highly recommended. The mochi balls are soooooo good. It’s a good pairing between the hot mochi balls and cold softserve. Have chosen cookie butter over taro softserve as recommended by the staff and it doesn’t disappoint! It’s a pity this is the last time I can enjoy this dessert since the cafe is closing down :/

Review: Stateland Cafe (Part 2/3) Wanted to try the Herbal Duck Confit Risotto but was told that the cafe is not serving this dish today BUT somehow saw another diner eating it so uhh.. Anyway, decided to try the Hainanese Chicken Rice Risotto [$19] instead since it is one of the recommended dishes and it is okay lo. A unique fusion but would appreciate if there is more rice 😅

Egg Benedict with rosti Rather a unique dish, I like the Hollandise sauce with the rosti

Scrambled Egg with Croissant The egg is nicely cooked and the croissant is crisp

The Populus Scramble The Populus Scramble consisted of basic ingredients like turkey bacon, croissant, scrambled eggs with herbs (essentially spring onions and big red chilli). Not a very good photographer (esp for food), but plating was well done, enough for me to take like a pro for once. The textbook scrambled eggs was a win for me, the herbs gave it a slight Asian twist. But apart from that, nothing to shout about, no complexity nor depth in flavours. Croissant was very mediocre, and after 3 mouths it was all really one-dimensional. I couldn’t finish it. It just did not make the cut for such price point ($22 bef GST & svc charge). Hesitant to come back, but if I do then I’d probably try something else. Also, there was not much viable options for my poor vegetarian friend. Her favourite mushrooms were already pre-mixed with garlic so no customisations. Ratings: Taste - 7/10 Price - 5.5/10 Ambience - 7/10

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
