For Dates Over Italian Nosh This snazzy joint at The Hub is perfect for casual date nights over Italian-inspired dishes. Start with their Scallop Crudo (RM40) to share – raw scallops served with green apple and bottarga (cured fish roe), which Burppler Thokoh Makan praises for its freshness, flavours and presentation. Next, get the Smoked Guanciale Tajarin Pasta (RM45) with housemade pasta and the Lamb Loin (RM108) yielding lovely juice and tenderness. Finish with the refreshing and tart Balsamic & Berry Sorbet (RM34). Ps. If you feel like going all out, give the 7-Course Tasting Menu a shot (from RM229). Photo by Burppler Thokoh Makan

Lamb Loin Meat was perfect, having being cooked rare to yield lovely juice and tenderness. The loin is paired with pickled sardines 🐟 and lamb jus, with sweet potato providing some levity. Read more on our IG account @thokohmakan.

Clam Risotto Special of the day Clam Risotto (RM42) was delightful - clams were fresh and tender with flavourful risotto having soaked all the briny goodness. Read more on our IG account @thokohmakan.

For a True Malaysian Fine Dining Experience In case you haven't heard, Dewakan is the first Malaysian restaurant to make it to Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list this year. They've also moved to a spanking new location – find them on level 48 of the Naza Tower in KL. Expect a stunning fine-dining experience with over 10 courses in a special Tasting Menu (RM550) that changes with the seasons. You can anticipate a menu that strongly focuses on local produce like jackfruit, keluak, and tapai ubi (fermented potato). Opt to have wine pairing for an extra RM240. Photo by Burppler Jason Wong

Prawns Warmed In Starfruit Juice w/ Herbs The defining highlight of our 9 course dinner – undeniably beautiful to look at and truly innovative yet delicious. This bowl exudes exotic herbaceousness, with a fan of thinly sliced prawns cooked at a low temperature to maintain their delicate flavour, then rubbed on the underside with housemade coriander stem and salted lime skin paste, before being crowned with an aromatic bouqet of herbs such as ulam flower and cashew leaf. The warm pool of starfruit juice dotted with kaffir lime leaf oil complemented the prawns with nicely balanced astringency and sweetness. Exciting times for Malaysian cuisine. Taste: 4/5

Kid Goat w/ Petai-so I balked slightly at the almost blue portion of milk-fed kid goat, but, always game for game, I tucked in. What was good was the salty, pungent exuberance of the charred petai miso coating the meat. Pity there was so little of it. The cut of goat itself was a little too raw and fibrous for my liking. Taste: 3/5

Ladies Set A - Kitsune Soba $10.80 This set comes with a Kitsune Soba (that is slightly smaller than what you get normally), a potato salad (which is delicious) and hot green tea for a beverage. The soup tasted refreshing and the taste was further enhanced with added Sansho Pepper. I would definetely come back here again

Cold Soba with Tempura ($10.90++) Definitely not the best soba noodles I've had, but I love that the stall prides itself on the quality of the ingredients and the fact that the noodles were handmade. This whole set was a nice, light Japanese meal and considering the location, I found the pricing to be very reasonable. There was quite a variety of side dishes to choose from as well, like fried eggplants/octopus etc. If you're bringing a bigger appetite, definitely go for their soba+rice bowl set! If my memory serves me right, portions were generous and prices starts from $12.90 for it.

Chicken And Leek Hot Soba SOBAAAA 😍I had intense soba cravings yesterday so imagine my excitement when I found specialising in soba noodles and priding themselves in an msg-free broth. I ordered the simple chicken and leek hot soba ($15.80) which was also the chef recommended option, to experience the taste as it is. The shoyu-based broth had hints of yuzu and it was really flavourful despite being no-msg. The noodles were done nicely too, with a good bite and texture to them. Very satisfied with my dinner and a really perfect dish when you are wanting something warm on a cold day!

Papa Yong’s Bolognese (RM19.90) I’ve heard a lot about the bolognese here – some say it’s the best in KL – and though that might be hard for me to admit, Lat Tali Lat’s version is still pretty damn good. The portion is huge and I expected not to finish it but I did. The flavours are familiar – it reminds me of something I had when I was a kid, expect this comes with a little heat.

Porksickle, Moo Ping (RM13.90) For sides to share, two plates of this should suffice. It wasn’t recommended (a shocker really) but the pork skewers are excellent. The marinade is a perfectly balance between sweet and salty, and the burnt bits add a nice smokiness to the meat. Though a bit on the fatty side, you can afford the calories at least for just one skewer.

Pad Ka Praw (RM17.50) A classic Thai dish that’s done very well here. The minced pork is packed with flavours; salty soy with sweet onions and fragrant homegrown basil leaves blend in perfect harmony. The order comes with a bowl of home-boiled soup that wraps up the whole meal on a satisfying note.

Jackfruit Sorbet, Coconut Sago (RM20) Ginger granita and crushed lychees are a perfect flavour match. The jackfruit sorbet is stellar – oh so creamy and refreshing! Love the touch of the sago balls too for extra bite.

Banana Shoot Soup (RM20) It’s hard to wrap my head around the idea of banana soup, but what I got was something light and creamy with hints of turmeric, ginger and pepper. Perfect for a rainy day or when you’re under the weather. The soup comes loaded with shreds of ginger, cabbage and chicken.

Fried Catfish with Sambal Matah (RM18) Look to Jing Ze as a modern approach to Balinese cuisine. As a snack, get this deep-fried catfish. It’s light and crispy while still soft on the inside. Have it with a dollop of the non-spicy, but slightly tangy sambal.

Beef Consommé The consomme was peppery with fatty and potent beef essence. It was served with tender beef encased in spinach, along with an oxtail croquette. Best eaten immediately or it can get jelak. Read more on our blog thokohmakan.com and follow our IG @thokohmakan.

Complimentary Dessert It was our wedding anniversary. We celebrated at Entier and the kitchen surprised us with a free dessert - raspberry mango mousse. 😘 But their dark choc soufflé remains our fav, hands down! ,😍 See previous post.

Best Dark Choc Soufflé in KL It doesn't matter if it's for lunch or dinner, the dark choc soufflé here is a must order. Perfect crusty top, warm moist interior, and velvety dark choc liquid at the centre, the dark choc soufflé (RM40) is amazing. The soufflé is decadently dark as it uses 70% single origin Pahang choc with choc ice-cream on the side. Mmm... 😋🍫 this is our absolute favourite soufflé in town! Highly recommended!

Mutton Curry The mutton curry is unconventional but don't like the salty sweetness.

Coin Prata (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) Having these coin prata at Sin Ming Roti Prata for breakfast might have been the best decision ever. These crispy bite-sized treats are freshly made to order, so they stay hot and flaky without being too greasy! The best part is the layers within are still soft and chewy even though it's cooled down a little after all the photo-taking. 🤭⁣ ⁣ Personally think the curry is equally important when it comes to good prata, but the chicken curry here is the gao gao, savoury type perfect for dipping your pratas into! The meat was fork-tender, and the moderate spice level wasn't overpowering! Was told that their fish curry is even better, so I guess that's something to look forward to in my next visit! 💯⁣ ⁣ P.S.: Go during off-peak hours to avoid the queue. ⁣

Coin Prata (Butter) The coin prata set comes with 6 pcs of hot and fragrant coin prata that is crispy and crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. What’s good about these coin prata is they weren’t overly oily and their fish curry is good and savoury with a hint of sweetness and sourness. I like to have my prata the traditional way, dipping my kosong prata in sugar or a combination of sugar and curry. Coin Set Butter 》$4

Interesting Twist On Vegan Dishes Ordered the salt baked celeriac 2.0 for dinner. Presented quite nicely (the lighting was bad so this picture doesn’t do it justice). It was tasty but not mind blowing and the portion was very small and also very pricy without the 1-1 on the Burpple app at about $20. I don’t think I would go back even with the 1-1 at this price point. Also note that it’s outdoor dining although it was cool on the day we were there and the ambience is pleasant.

Great Hidden Space But Limited Menu First of all - VEGETARIAN. Secondly, menu is limited but lots of care goes into the presentation of the food. Great for the health conscious.

Hay Salt Baked Celeraic [$20] $20 for two small pieces of turnip. Felt like an appetiser & was still very hungry after. Would not come here again, even with Burpple Beyond.

Le Entrecote Steak As requested, the steak was done medium well. One will expect the beef to be tougher at medium well, but le entrecote's was smooth, chewy and you literally feel the meat dissolving as you bite. This is really one of the best steaks in singapore. The mustard savoury gravy was excellent with the beef. Another attraction is the free flow fries but do note that sharing of the free flow chips are not allowed.

Decent Steak & Frites Service was surprisingly good. Lady boss was offering us more complimentary fries, even though the steak already came with alot of fries. Steak was decent and cooked to medium-rare as per our preference. With that said, the cut isn't a good steak cut, so it was alot more chewy than we would have preferred. Would definitely go back again with Burpple Beyond 1-for-1 🙂 Rating: 3.5 / 5

Trimmed Entrecôte Steak It was a shame that I only made an effort to come down to try this often-mentioned Trimmed Entrecôte Steak (S$34.90) a few days before they wind up their business at Glasshouse by DHM. And the good thing was that I did not regret the decision to visit. Rather than calling it a dish, I would prefer to say that it was like a set, with a plate of walnut and greens salad served before the star of the night. The team really made an effort to inform the distinction of courses as two sets of cutleries were placed on the placemat. And then came the steak, which was already cut into parts for a more effortless consumption. The interesting part was actually the legendary secret sauce that tasted quite intense but with a mildly sour finish, and that proved to give the steak a little more flavour. Too much sauce? Impossible, because they would all become the “dipping sauce” for the huge pile of fries that came along. Best part of the meal, would probably be that this set of items were eligible for Burpple Beyond deals! #BurppleBeyond
