Craftsmen Specialty Coffee☕️ Went to Craftsmen Specialty Coffee last week and ordered their Tomyum Seafood Cremoso ($26), Crispy Chicken Burger ($20), Tata Tots ($14), an Iced Matcha Latte ($8.50), and an Iced Caramel Latte ($7.50)!😇 There is an ongoing promotion where you can purchase their Kaizen dollars (buy $50 to get $70 worth of credits) Overall ratings 9/10! First time at this outlet, but went to their Holland V outlet several times before. Food quality is equally good, but some things in this store were out of stock, maybe cuz we arrived at 1.45pm, and hence they did do quite a few replacements (e.g. salted caramel latte oos changed to caramel latte, squid in pasta oos so they changed it to scallops😅) Would visit other outlets in the future to try it out too😁

mains + drink + dessert (not in pic) main 1: white wine prawn $24 rating: 8/10 comments: the prawns WOW! spaghetti nth special but good dish overall main 2: smoke salmon savory waffle $24 ratings: 8/10 comments: the waffles were a mixture of soft & crispy, w the fresh salmon & omg the fresh vege tasted so good! drink: ice matcha latte $8.50 rating: 0/10 comments: sry but PLS pass the matcha latte, i dun even need to describe further just look @ the color 😐 it’s a no for me dessert: churros ice cream $12 rating: 6/10 comments: churros tasted alright with vanilla ice cream but nth special, can compare to those u get from pasar malam that kind + not served in the big cup they advertised so doesn’t look that appealing overall: ambience & vibe is 8/10, but rather $$$ (damage was like 📈📈📈) so im only coming back when i feel rich again

White Wine Prawn Pasta White Wine Prawn Pasta ($21): a hearty plate! 💯 Featuring spaghetti 🍝, huge springy sea prawns 🦐, white wine 🥂, edamame, cherry tomatoes 🍅, shaved cheese 🧀, chilli flakes 🌶 & parsley, it was a burst of flavours in every bite! 👍🏻

Hawaiian Hippie I thought the pizza is a bit salty but the cheese n tomato taste is so good.

Pizza Party Including Beefy Affair, Prawnster, Truffle Shuffle and Say Cheese. There were too many flavours to remember all. I'm seldom excited by takeaway pizza, although these were rather decent.

Just a click away~ With the launch of their delivery services, I can now easily enjoy these thin crusted pizza and spicy wings from Alt. Choosing from the Hot Deal: The All In, we have gotten Hawaiian Hippie, Truffled Mac & Cheese, Garlic Herb Bread, and Chocolate Cheese Lava Cake. But can’t resist adding on their special Alt. wings tooooooo. P.S: Check it out yourself and enjoy a Free Pizza with min $30 spent using the promo code: PIZZAHV. Valid for dine-in, takeaway, delivery in all outlets using the Alt. Pizza Rewards app #altpizza

Mushroom Fries ($10). If you have never tried the Mushroom fries from Burger Buddies, what are you waiting for?! It is one of the most ingenious fries flavours that I have ever come across, possibly an expansion from their mushroom beef burger. Generous portion of mushroom ragout loaded on a bed of freshly fried thick cut fries, finished off with some shredded Parmesan. Earthy and creamy all together, super tantalizing!

mushroom beef burger located within the deep recesses (a gross exaggeration - but we did have much difficulty finding the place) of pinnacle @ duxton, lies a "food court", which vaguely reminded me of timbre+, albeit in an enclosed area with (much needed) aircon! absolutely loved the mushroom sauce on the burger!! they even properly asked for the doneness of the beef as well.

Plain Fries ($7) They fry these upon receiving order so they were super hot. Must add $0.30 for takeaway.

Seafood Phad Thai ($7.90) Very affordable phad thai as the portion was huge! It came with a few prawns too and was authentically spicy. Flavour wise, more tamarind could have been used.

Tom Yum Clear Soup ($14.90 for large) Time for Thai offers affordable Thai food right in the heartlands of Singapore. This bowl of clear tom yum soup was filled generously with fish slices, squid and prawn. Equal parts sour and spicy, it was super shiok to have on a cold night during this rainy monsoon season.

Beef Paad Siew Very generous portion including the beef. A bit costly but they made it up with a reasonable taste. #thaifood #sawasdeekhrup

No Pink But Lots of Spice Was facing a dilemma when as I ate this Pink Sauce Pasta ($5.90); don't look down on this simple dish - believe me I was underwhelmed at first impression - because it is really quite a delicious plate of pasta, but it is SO SPICY! 🔥 Using tomato puree, fresh cream, chopped onions, garlic herbs, cheese and parsley, there is a sort of mildly sweet yet savoury mix of flavours, but the chili got really strong for me that I needed to share! A pink plate of pasta this is not, but it sure has a lot of personality. 😂

Amazing western fare for a fraction of the typical cafe price. The carbonara ($5.90), though not the best, is definitely more than decent and very worth it, considering it’s low price. Big eaters can order the chicken chop ($6.90) on top of the carbonara. Request for the mushroom sauce to go with your chicken chop – it emits a hint of truffle that hits the spot. What I do NOT recommend, is Da Bomb ($13.90), a beef/chicken patty (of your choice) with bacon & bbq sauce, wrapped in what seems like pastry puff (i’m not entirely sure about this). It was still worth it for its price, considering you’d probably have to pay $20+ for this at a typical cafe, but it wasn’t satisfying and I’d save my dollars for the chicken chop instead. Truffle lovers can also go for the truffle fries ($4) for a cheap thrill. Again, not the best, but not the worst, and extremely worth it given its low price, and would come back for more. And yes, you CAN taste the truffle flavour without trying to. For $4, that’s good enough for me!

Mac & Cheese Got Far More Sinful The Fried Mac & Cheese ($4 for 2) is sure to be an attention grabber for mac and cheese or cheese lovers. I usually expect to find nacho cheese in coffee shop or hawker renditions of mac and cheese - perhaps to keep costs low, which is then personally fine by me by the way - but Fat Monkeys keeps their mac and cheese as the real deal. I do like that it is not dry and is reasonably cheesey. The taste is admittedly nothing too amazing to sing to the heavens for, but I quite like how the shell actually provides a crisp textural contrast to the pasta. If you think you could do without the deep-frying frills, @fatmonkeyssg also has regular Mac and Cheese for a dollar less, and trust me; the rest of food here, especially the mains, is pretty impressive, and I'll be back for more. 😋

Single patty “the works” (minus pickles) cheeseburger (medium rare) Bland. Yup, bland. Definitely, underseasoned. I had to tear open a packet of ketchup and mustard to wake up my taste buds. By the way, “the works” already comes with ketchup and mustard! A far cry from the burger joint on 57th Street located in The Thomson Hotel next to Le Meridien, Central Park. If anyone is wondering, i had the same burger a week ago in NYC. So, when I exclaim the SG version is disappointing - it is terribly disappointing (and more expensive too)! Honestly, I was hoping I would have a divine experience in my home country but I was plunged into hell.

Secret Burger Spot, Makes You Feel Cool Visited Burger Bar New York the other night and we love how it’s so secretively hidden in a back alley! Made us feel like we were some secret society members 😬 they sell a series of no-frills burgers here that really hit all the right spots. Portion sizes were also surprisingly massive and we left feeling very full and content. Would recommend it if you’re in the Telok Ayer area!

The American Bundle The burgers are what you expect it to be, but the fries are a little bit disappointing. I “tabao” it so they did state that it’s best eaten reheated but I didn’t. The ingredients (bacon, cheese, jalapeños) in the fries looked like they would be awesome but what I had was soggy so I would only get it if I had a way to reheat it.

Chix Hot Chick'n🍔 Went to CHC a few weeks ago and ordered the breakfast slider set meal and Dirty Taters with my friends!😄 There is a lunch promo ongoing during weekdays which is only $9.99 per set (usual price $10.90)😇 Dirty taters were $9.90. Overall ratings 9/10! Tried the Medium spice level this time and it was pretty mild to me (tried Hot previouly and was lowkey dying)😅 The patty was super juicy and the eggs were fluffy😍 Though its a slider, its also super filling😨 Would definitely head back again to try other sliders!!

Chix Hot Chicken🥵 Went to CHC last week and ordered a Chix Cordon Bleu, Soul Slider, Dirty Taters, and Vanilla Milkshake! (~$45/2pax)😋 Regretted ordering the Hot for the burgers and should have just went with medium instead... It was too damn spicy even for a spicy lover😭 Overall ratings 8/10! The milkshake and dirty taters were great and would definitely ordered the burgers in medium spice next time🤧

If you haven’t heard, Singapore’s first Nashville hot chicken joint has landed on our shores in the form of Chix Hot Chicken. Essentially, it’s fried chicken with a Southern dry rub of herbs and spices, but what sets them apart from regular fried chicken is how juicy it is with the wonderful kick from the peppers. You can get it in varying spice levels and we coward out with just the Mild so that we can enjoy the food without feeling the intense burn. However, if you can endure a volcanic eruption in your mouth, then I will recommend you get the insane level to spice up your life (and tastebuds). All in all, one of my top recommendations for fried chicken in Singapore which I have been back many times before. ••••••••••••••••••• ✨ Chix Hot Chicken 📍 1 Jalan Pisang, Unit 01-01, Singapore 199069 🌐 https://chixhotchicken.com/menu 🍴 [Self Funded]

Ginger Lemonade / Iced Lemon Tea The ginger lemonade is made using actual fresh ginger juice. I like how the zing of fresh ginger plays off that sweet-tart base 》$6 Each

Miso Pork Belly Bowl The miso pork belly bowl comes with homemade pickled cabbage, yakiniku sauce, onsen egg, sesame seed, spring onion and chunky slices of pork belly laid on top. The pork belly was thick and slightly charred to a nice burnt flavour. It was tender and juicy but I couldn’t taste the miso. Dipping it with the yakinuku sauce helps with the flavouring 》$17.90

Chilli Crab Pasta Spaghetti cooked with homemade chilli crab sauce and curry leaves, presented with a crunchy soft shell crab on top. The pasta was al-dente with a chewy bite. The sauce was done with the right amount of sweetness and a tinge of spiciness 》$18.90

Burgers Drenched In Cheese I was always very intrigued by american burger joints innovating their dishes with so much flavours such as molten cheese and thick gravies. We have a humble food stall in a singaporean coffee shop working this out. Muslim friends will be glad to know this is halal certified.

Burger Banjir Okay I agree it looks interesting but unfortunately it taste really ordinary. The burger itself uses the manufactured ingredients, yet it charged for higher price. Perhaps you should just try their other western foods on the menu instead.

Burger Banjir [$7.50] Cheese was not overwhelming, portion was okay. But fries wasn’t as crispy as i would hoped for. 🤭

Seafood Bag with Buns & Coleslaw I've never liked seafood boil but a friend wanted it. This has mud crab, prawns, mussels, clams, smoked sausages and sweet corn. I've nothing useful to say.

Louisiana Spicy Mid-joint Wings Acceptable.

Sweet Potato Fries Not that great.
