Octopus Hash The grilled octopus was quite well done, tender yet smoky and flavorful. Good!!

Smashed Avo The avocado toast was glazed with balsamic, dehydrated tomato and topped with parched egg, a lot healthier choice as compared to the rest of the meal.

Roast Lemon Grass Chicken Juicy and moist roasted chicken in ladyboy dressing, think it’s good since we managed to finish it and I didn’t touch it.

Mooooo Fries Chunky sweet potato fries with bulgogi beef, sriracha, mozzarella cheese and a sunny side up It’s the best savoury combination with everything on there

Are You Busy Burger Beef burger with cute gudetama fried egg and bioche bun. Among character cafes, gudetama has pretty legit food. The beef patty was actually still juicy but I did wish it could be more rare. There is a ton of fries on the pan it was served on. Overall it’s okay pretty good although a lil costly. Everyone is here for the cuteness afterall 🍳

Egg-chanted bliss [$12.90++] . Vanilla softserve paired with yogurt, coupled with scoops of salted egg buttercream , crispy waffle basket shards and a base of assorted fruits (peach, kiwi & raspberry), served up in a parfait style. What caught us by a pleasant surprise was the ‘Gudetama’ iconic figure atop that was actually an EDIBLE piece of chocolate, which we had initially thought it was present there merely for aesthetics. The vanilla softserve is smooth, creamy albeit a little icy, not too milky yet carrying off a distinct dairy flavour and aroma that was pretty light and enjoyable. The salted egg buttercream is whipped to a thick and creamy texture, coupled with a subtle flavour that could be an acquired experience. Would be great if they were ice creams instead of buttercream! 😛 Along with chunks of assorted fresh fruits that added a refreshing, tangy note (and also alleviate the level of guilty indulgence), the same applies to the smooth and tangy greek yogurt as well! The only disappoint was the waffle basket shards that weren’t crispy at all as mentioned, with meringue-alike texture that was also solid-hard and may require a little more jaw-scissoring effort . . [PS: With the order of any Salted Egg shiok mains, you can get to enjoy this seasonal dessert at only $5++ (UP: $12.90)✨] . . . . #burpple #gudetamacafesg #sgfoodie

Cosy cafe with fluffy seats Great place overall to chill and hang out but the cake and drinks were just average.

Crab Melt Sandwich Satisfying thick sandwich with crab cake, cheddar, onions, tomatoes, sriracha tartare and a side of fries which I had upgraded to truffle fries. The crab cake is flavourful with a good texture. This was probably one of the better crab cakes I ever had 》$20 + $2 Parmesan Truffle Fries

Homemade Rosti & Breakfast Sausage It's so sad to see them go 🥺 I'm already missing my weekend brunch at Riders Cafe. The homemade rösti & breakfast sausage is served with poached eggs, bacon, hollandaise and parmesan. The crispy fried potato shreds are well-seasoned and pairs well with their homemade juicy sausage 》$19

Smashed Avo & Eggs ($16) Avocado, Feta, Tomatoes, Poached Eggs, Sesame Seeds, Crushed Hazelnuts, Rustic Toast Quite an enjoyable avo toast! Generous servings of avo that wasn’t salty, the feta, tomatoes, sesame seeds and hazelnuts added additional flavour and texture. Toast was good, crunchy but not too dry.

Shengjianbao from Mr shengjian. Our first time trying such pan fried baos! Quite a nice mixture of panfried and steamed skin, coupled with soup broth! #burpple #burpplesg #shengjianbao

Mixed Shengjians; Classic + Kimchi with prawns ($7 for 4 pieces) Fell so deeply in love with this pan-fried bun ever since I had it for the first time in Shanghai 6 years back. It's a snack that I would gladly forsake calories for. So I was really looking forward to trying Mr. Shengjian because it's so hard to find a good 生煎包 in Singapore. (Like the ones from Xiang Yuan Ji at Jalan Besar) To spot a sheng jian done nicely: 1. Must definitely have a base pan-fried till crispy and golden brown while retaining a soft bao skin on top. 2. A substantial amount of minced pork wrapped inside with a flavourful, slightly sweet porky soup. The soup is usually made of pork lard, therefore quite oily. No smell of frozen pork. 3. Some chopped spring onion and sesame seeds for a fragrant nutty taste. I have to say the classic flavour ones here do remind me of the authentic ones in Shanghai. Pleasantly surprised to see so much soup flowing as I took a bite off the bao skin. But the Kimchi with prawns was a miss; There was no soup in the bun and felt like it was a spicy chili flavour instead of a sour fermented taste. So I would recommend to stick to the classic flavour. Also disappointed by the size of the buns too. Far cry from that of a normal sized bun even. I should start planning a trip to Shanghai soon! #burpple #burpplesg #sgfood #sgfoodies #foodporn #mrshengjian #生煎包 #生煎先生

Soup And Cheese Filled Pan-Fried Buns Mr. Sheng Jian in Singapore serves up three different types of Pan-Fried Buns – Classical Flavour ($5.50 for 4), Kimchi with Prawn ($8.oo) and a Cheese with Shrimp ($10.00) which they named “Nice To Meet U”. If I were to order again, I would just stick to the Original Flavoured ones, with slight crunchy bottom and piping sweet porky soup. Great that they tasted fresh. These weren’t the best, but quite close to what you would get from Shanghai. Will probably skip the other two. http://danielfooddiary.com/2018/04/04/mrshengjian/

Xiao Long Bao The skin on these XLB was tender and soft. Although the skin tends to be on the thicker side and not as prettily folded up, it holds the soup and fillings much better. The fillings were well marinated and flavourful with a bursting mouthful of soup in each bite. The broth in the XLB leans on the sweeter side but I like that it's less oily. This is definitely a bang for the buck at just $5.

Pan-Fried Dumplings Perfectly seared dumplings to a crispy golden bottom with tasty fillings. The skin has a nice combination of crispy and chewy on the other side with sweet and savoury flavours of fillings underneath. Every piece was stuffed with a substantial amount of filling and extremely value-for-money 》$7

Chili oil dumplings 6nett I have to say, I'm aware a lot of people like this, and I find myself enjoying it too, but this isn't authentic. The chili oil doesn't have much heat, the filling was sweet, and there's hardly any fragrance from the chili oil. It's very suited for the masses and not intense at all I've had a few of their items so far and while everything is around the same standard, some dishes are more authentic than others, so pick wisely. Overall no reason to specially visit, it's pleasant but not a standout
