Afternoon tea set Upscale casual restaurant that celebrates Southeast Asian flavours and crossroads. Starting with savory, we enjoyed the 𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐓𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐰/ 𝐂𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐫, an indulgent buttery and creamy bite. The 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐄𝐠𝐠 was a mix of rendang with oozy egg and a crispy breading. Rich and flavourful with a strong spicy kick. The 𝐊𝐮𝐞𝐡 𝐏𝐢𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐞 was generously packed and balanced but did wish for the shell to be more crisp. Moving on to sweet, 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐣𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐞 & 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐡’𝐬 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐬𝐞 was a delightful sweet and savory mix of feta cheese and date encased in crispy and flaky pastry. Our personal favourite was the mango sticky rice. Also had the classic traditional kuehs of 𝐊𝐮𝐞𝐡 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐭 and 𝐊𝐮𝐞𝐡 𝐊𝐨 𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐞. Comes with free flow tea or coffee. We enjoyed the chai which had a spicy finish, and the natural tasting rooibos. Found the matcha on the powdery and almost grassy side. 📍@hathawaysingapore, 01-37, 13 Dempsey Road, Singapore

Squid and prawn The squid and prawns is grilled. Can taste the BBQ smell when chewing it

Naan set Nothing special about this dish

Desserts 𝘿𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙨: Good for sharing as these are big portions! We enjoyed both the fruit-focused red wine poached pear with lemon curd (3.5⭐️; $15) and apple galette (3.5⭐️; $15).

Barramundi 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢 𝐞𝐧 𝐩𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞 (4⭐️; $25) - Well-timed tender fish with aromatic and balanced tomato and fennel sauce. Previously popular for their pastas, Eleven Strands has undergone a menu revamp with an extensive offering of delicious food and desserts.

Squid ink risotto 𝐒𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨 (4⭐️; $24) - Richly savory risotto with seafood aroma, paired with crispy fried tentacles.

Pizza Prosciutto Di Parma @PietroItalian_sg | 12 Jln Kelulut. Are you ready for the long weekend school (a.k.a. Youth Day) holiday? Because I am. Sharing a hand stretched 12” thin-crust pizza with my favourite topping — Parma ham, fired in a brick 🧱 oven. 👏🏻👏🏻 #burpple #burpplesg #stfoodtrending #straitstimesfood #sgfood #sgeats #foodsg #wheretoeatsg #whattoeatsg #pietroitalian_sg

Margherita Pizza + Egg Pretty decent for takeaway ($16+$2 for egg). Very thin crust and the egg was an eggcellent topping 😛

Go For Their 1-for-1 Lunch Promo! 🍕 𝗣𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲 𝗜𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗼 is my best-kept food secret. 🤫 Seriously, where can you eat a proper oven-baked pizza with quality ingredients (not the lousy ones from commercial chains like you-know-what) for less than $20?! AND get a 1-for-1 promotion? I’ve tried various pizzas from Pietro Ristorante Italiano, but my favourite is the unique 𝗣𝗶𝘇𝘇𝗮 𝗕𝗶𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸 🍕($𝟮𝟯.𝟵𝟬), which comes topped with generous slices of honey-baked ham, creamy white feta cheese, a wreath of fresh rocket leaves and a glorious oozing sunny-side-up egg in the centre. (On the day I went, they were out of rocket leaves, so they substituted it with other greens.) Baked in a proper fire oven, the pizza’s thin crust comes out unbelievably crispy, with a beautiful leopard mark char blistered on the golden brown exterior. Simply—*chef’s kiss*. 😘 The pasta is also delicious. I ordered the 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗵𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶 𝗔𝗹𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗼 𝗙𝗿𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗶 𝗱𝗶 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗲 🍝($𝟮𝟲.𝟵𝟬), which is a seafood lover’s delight, with prawn, clams, squid, scallop, coated in a rich and creamy white wine sauce and sprinklings of reggiano cheese. My only gripe is that they could be more generous with the seafood—there was only one small prawn, and the scallop was missing. Otherwise, Pietro Ristorante Italiano is truly my favourite Italian restaurant in Singapore, for its highly value-for-money 1-for-1 lunch promotions and delicious food. Highly recommended! 🍕 Watch my full review of Pietro Ristorante Italiano (and drool-worthy B-roll shots of the pizza and pasta) on YouTube https://youtu.be/P0c_tWaXSRA now!

For 1-for-1 Meat/Greens (save ~$20) Turn to this Halal joint in Esplanade Mall for a sumptuous zi char feast with the gang. Start with sides to share – from the Sambal Kangkong (from $8) to the peppery La La in Superior Broth ($12) and the fluffy Oyster Egg (from $12), before moving on to the must-order Signature Curry Fish Head ($26).

Normal Tasting Food We had 6 of us for dinner.Service was extremely fast and okay. The food tasted normal as expected.But abit on the bland side.The Prawns with Cereal Oats were good though but usually it's very hard to screw this dish The Oyster omelette was a total let down. The Oyster were not fresh at all and it stink!

For Affordable Halal Zi Char Hidden in Esplanade Mall, this modern and spacious restaurant is ideal for both group gatherings or casual dinners in air-conditioned comfort. Come for their aromatic Curry Fish Head ($20 for 2 pax) that is served over a flame, keeping it piping hot. Complete the spread with the quintessential Sambal Kangkong (from $8) and the fluffy Egg Fu Yong (from $8). To cut through the heaviness, have a peppery bowl of La La in Superior Broth ($12). *Halal-certified Photo by Burppler SG MUNCHIES

Eggs Bernadette Decided to try their brunch menu instead of their fish and chips/ lunch. This was decent, but not great. The entire combination was okay, but the bread was just a bit too cold and hard for my liking. Oh, but the iced latte was good!

Decent Food, But A Little Pricey Small little restaurant with 2 levels along Haji lane with a pretty nice and quiet ambience. Ordered the fish and chips, burrata, Welsh rarebit and an iced long black. The food was pretty decent, however overall we felt that it was slightly pricey. I would recommend to try their sourdough bread - that really stood out and paired well with the burrata! The fish and chips was really fresh! However, the long black was pretty diluted.

Used To Be Value For Money But Not Anymore Mad Sailors used to serve huge portions of fish & chips at an affordable price. They recently changed their menu and in my opinion, it's too pricey and portions are really small. Ambience and service were good but my friends and I agreed that with the price we paid, visiting a restaurant will make a lot more sense. We paid about $30 for roasted chicken and was expecting at least half a chix. But only 1/4 came. Presentation was on point but definitely did not justify the price.

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]

Birria Beef Taco Had a great catch-up with friends over tacos at Afterwit! Loved my order of Birria Beef Taco ($20). Beefy, cheesy, oh-so-juicy and a tinge tangy-sweet with the salsa. Generously filled with well-seasoned meat and melted mozzarella, the charcoal tortillas (said to be prepared fresh daily) were pretty nifty to pick up as well - holding the moist filling nicely and providing tender-chewy bites though tbh I still made quite a mess. The lamb consomme served on the side was delightfully umami too, giving the comforting meat flavours a boost.

birria tacos this was really good!! i got the beef option (you can also choose lamb or chicken) and they gave a pretty decent amount of beef (although its not really obvious in the picture). also served with lamb consomme which was the ✨highlight✨ to me because it was made so well and so flavourful! the shop itself also had really nice and rustic vibes 🤩🤩

🌟 Delicious Soft Shell Tacos 🌟 Soft shell tacos usually aren't up my alley but in this case I didn't mind. On the pricier end for tacos at $15 for 2 but they were filling and well worth the pricetag imo. My friend ordered this for me as a takeaway and they were generously filled with pulled beef and cheese, just the right amount of savory and spicy. The whole dish is an umami explosion, in a good way, and I found it funny that they included quail eggs—a first for me, but they didn't really do anything flavor wise. It is served with some soft onions on the side and tomato purée in which I enjoyed dipping my tacos in. My only complaint...... This was a takeaway and the dish, overflowing with gravy and meat is incredibly messy to eat. I really wish they provided cutlery without being asked because I had to eat this in a public work area and I just hope to god no one saw me while I was eating this. They did provide 4 napkins along with the order however, which I found myself needing for the meal.

Working For Food This cafe is snuggled along Arab Street. We had the lunch set. There are 3 different sets. For each set, they offer different food options. It comes with a canned drink. Or for $2, you can choose fruit juice, iced tea or hot coffee. 1. Work Hard Lunch Set at $12 2. Work Harder Lunch Set at $14 3. Work Hardest Lunch Set at $16 I took the Work Hardest Lunch Set with the Cheese & Whiskers burger: Grilled beef patty with emmental, mesclun, mild cheddar, mozzarella, swiss, tomatoes and lemon garlic sauce. It was so good. You could add on sunny side up egg or turkey bacon. A la carte costs $20 so the set is definitely worth it. The iced tea was weird, as I can’t taste what kind of tea it was. But it was not bad, still drinkable. I ordered sides too, Ribena Wings. WHAT!? $12. Spiced and battered chicken drumlets (7) drizzled with reduced Ribena sauce. To be honest, I did not enjoy it. If it was fresh of the fryer, maybe it would have tasted better. So I just kept dipping it in chilli sauce to mask the taste. Ok, so another dish under their Brunch Menu till 5pm. WORKING BIG BREAKFAST $22 Grilled beef patty, beech mushrooms, focaccia, scrambled eggs, tater tots and turkey bacon with mixed greens. Boy, was it pleasing to the eyes and tastebuds. We ordered smoothies well at $9 each. It was good but quite pricey for a small size: 1. COOKIE NOMSTER Cookie goodness in a glass with oreos, milk and vanilla topped with Cookies & Cream ice cream 2. MONKEY BUSINESS Get all up in this banana business with vanilla and milk topped with Banana Nut Crunch ice cream

Hearty And Delicious Seafood Soup! The seafood soup was hearty and delicious with a good variety of fish, shrimp, and mussels. You could taste the effort put in it! It was a satisfying meal paired well with crispy baked garlic bread. The service staff were very attentive. For the pricing, it’s very reasonable and I would definitely be back here (:

Sambal Seafood Pizza!!!! The sambal seafood pasta was something different from the usual hawaiian pizza that we always order, really like the subtle sambal taste and it wasnt that spicy as well so great for everyone! Their crust was also on the thin side so it has a nice crunch to it. Food also came fast as weekday night wasnt very crowded.

Crabmeat Aglio Olio Pasta was al dente, and generous amount of shredded crab meat. Nothing to shout about though, wish that the sauce could be less watered down. Nevertheless, still a good deal with Burpple Beyond’s 1-for-1 mains here!

Portuguese Chicken!!! Kinda like Nandos...good food, slightly overpriced considering it's supposed to be fast food. What's unacceptable is they don't have ice for their drinks.

Chicken Taca ($9.90) Had this chicken bowl with salad veggies and rice, drizzled with their prego sauce (mixture of mayo and bbq sauce). The rice was too peppery for my liking, and felt that the cold veggies did not complement the warm chicken pieces. The chicken pieces were not super impressive and the prego sauce was unique. Wouldn’t really have this again.

Lemon And Herb Whole Chicken 21.9nett Dont really taste the Herb and lemon, and i loved that. It's more like a well brined flavourful chicken which is rlly up my alley. For those who arent feeling the more punchy flavours of the original chili(which isnt spicy either tho)
