Matcha lattes at Matchabar relatively strong matcha latte and nice barista staff who took a lot of care & effort to make it ☺️ would come back again to try their salad bowls!

Healthy Food at HV Habit is finally on Burpple!!! Meaning I’ll have a go-to place whenever I’m trying to be healthy. I visited it and redeemed the 1 for 1: Signature Bowls. I tried the North End which consists of broccoli, chicken, parmesan cheese. Found the 🥦 the tastiest. Would come back for more🤤

WTF and Onion Rings From NBCB. Indulge in our mouth-watering WTF, featuring crispy fried fish slices, soft buns, a fried egg, melted cheese, and creamy tartar sauce. Paired with crunchy onion rings on the side, cheese dips, this satisfying meal is a seafood lover's dream!

DCB 15.9nett Double is definitely more satisfying, the ratio is better but it's too big to fit into some people's mouth probably The problem is that there's no flavour from anything except the sauce, otherwise it's a solid cheeseburger and the patty was firm in a good way. The only other complaint is that the brioche is a little greasy when you have everything tgt

Pork patty 3.5nett There's quite a bit of wok hei, and well salted and very flavourful on the exterior. It's reasonably firm as it usually goes in a burger so you need that bite. recommended

Coexist breakfast and pasta Ordered the coexist breakfast and pastas. Found the coexist breakfast to be worth the price, nothing special. I actually like pastas more — both were fragrant and tasty! I also tried the dirty matcha which I also loved. I love the vibes of the cafe, it was quite quiet on a Sunday lunch. Would definitely come back again!

Coexist Coffee Co.🥐 Went to Coexist Coffee Co. last week and ordered x2 of their Croissant Promo ($12.90/set before gst and svc charge)! Tried the BLT and Teriyaki Chicken Croissant with Iced White and Iced Matcha😋 Overall ratings 8/10! Food was pretty decent and the place had a nice ambience😁 For working adults, not too conducive for work meetings unless there is noise-cancelling functions on your microphone😅

Pistachio Mille Crepe Coexist Coffee Co. should not be an unfamiliar name to most at this point of time — the brand did seem to have gone through a huge a fair bit ever since our previous visit to their Lifelong Learning Institute location at Paya Lebar. Since then, Coexist Coffee Co. had moved out of their Keong Saik Road location; they had also did renovations for their Hillview location where the distinctive half red and half white decor theme of the space had been switched up for a fully grey interior decor scheme. Scrolling through social media one day, we had come across a recent post by Coexist Coffee Co. announcing the release of their line-up of Mille Crepes at both outlets; the two (2) flavours being released by Coexist Coffee Co. being the Tiramisu Mille Crepe and the Pistachio Mille Crepe. Thought that the Pistachio Mille Crepe was fairly interesting when we had first seen Coexist Coffee Co.’s announcement about the release of their Mille Crepes. Priced at $9, the Pistachio Mille Crepe from Coexist Coffee Co. is actually sized slightly larger than what we expected it to be. As we dug into the Pistachio Mille Crepe, we found the Pistachio Mille Crepe to have been better executed than most other versions served at non-commercialised establishments — one noticeable thing that we quite liked about the Pistachio Mille Crepe here was how it was tightly-packed; sufficiently so in a way that the cake still maintained its structural integrity without toppling or with the layers shifting out of position until towards the final few forkfuls left of the cake to finish. The layers of crepes in the Pistachio Mille Crepe are paper-thin; especially delicate whilst spread with pistachio-infused pastry cream that gels everything together. There is a light whiff of nuttiness amidst the lightly creamy notes of the pastry cream here, but the finely-chopped pistachio that is dusted over the surface and also the embedded within further enhances the nutty flavours of the Mille Crepe. We paired our order with the Sweet Pear Cold Brew, which is said to comprise of elements such as Sencha, Bai Mu Dan, Pear, Mango, Pineapple and Rosebuds; a cold brew tea that comes with a surprisingly strong floral aroma that helps cleanses and refresh the palate.

Squid ink fried rice! Finally visited Coexist Coffee Co. at Hillview! Took so long for us to visit this cafe outlet till they have changed out from the iconic red white layout! Now it is a grey industrial theme vibes already! Here is what we ordered: -Squid Ink Fried Rice ($26++): Super unique dish! Served in a claypot! There is tiger prawns, baby squid, and topped with lots of ikura! Very unique taste! -Chilli Crab Shakshuka ($18++): Comes with a huge tempura soft shell crab, chilli crab tomato dip, fried mantou and a sous vide egg! -Satay Quesadilla ($18++): Pulled pork satay with mozzarella and comes with peanut sauce! My favourite is per the above order ranking! We ordered 3 dishes as we were famished after 3+ hours of discussing reno stuff prior! Say hi to the new neighbouring neighbourhood!

𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐀 𝟏𝟕𝟎 ($𝟏𝟎) Taste and texture-wise, its was too sugary on its own. But the luscious cinnamon cream balanced out its sweetness and made this dessert really enjoyable!

Brunch Forget about the nice views comments you see about this cafe. What views do you expect to see from an 8th floor rooftop surrounded by tall condominiums and a rainforest? Come for the food and coffee instead! We came on a Sunday. Reservations strongly recommended as the tables are limited. We ordered Chilli Crab Shakshuka, Squid Ink Fried Rice and the Coexist Breakfast. The Shakshuka did not disappoint. Large chunks of crab meat were mixed within the chilli sauce (more like tomato sauce with just a hint of spice). Six small slices of man tou was provided to soak up the gravy. Do remember to mix the egg into the gravy to give the whole dish extra silkiness. Next up, the Squid Ink Fried Rice was equally good. It came with chunks of deep fried prawn meat and whole baby squids, topped with Ikura and chilli. Rice was not greasy and tasted umami from the squid ink. The Ikura added bursts of flavour and there was also a certain level of heat coming from the squid and prawns. Probably the marinate they used or the mentaiko sauce spread on the plate. But yes it did accentuate the dish. Yums! The Coexist breakfast was normal. Nothing to sing about. I have to give special mention to their White coffee and Aero-Black cold coffee. So hot are very robust in coffee taste, the way coffee lovers like their brew. Just choose hot or cold. Certainly coming back to try the other items on their menu, even if this cafe is a little pricier than others and it is very ulu in terms of location. If you don’t drive, then Grab will be the next best alternative.

1-For-1 Burpple set (save~$36) Attention, Westies! If you’re in the area, Mervyn’s Madeleines is the perfect spot for affordable, delicious bites, located conveniently right beside the pool at Ridgewood Condominium! Now, it gets even better with our 1-for-1 Burpple Set! Indulge in a full meal with your choice of pasta + salad/ mushroom croquette + cookie/ a drink. We highly recommend the fan-favourite Carbonara. Think perfectly cooked tagliatelle smothered in a rich, velvety sauce, with guanciale infusing the dish with a delightful smokiness and crispy texture. Every forkful delivers a comforting, indulgent bite that’s hard to resist!

Ebi & rosu katsu ($21.90) The tonkotsu was well-executed with tender pork loin (loved that it was lean while still juicy) and juicy prawn. Coated in thin crisp and flaky Panko crust. Choose between classic rice or their healthier ‘brown rice’ which was an enjoyable mix of chewy rice and barley.

Burpple Beyond Set Worth the price (portion is generous). Staff were welcoming ☺️

Rosu-katsu with daikon oroshi and ponzu sauce set Miss K and I don't usually mind paying the extra buck for the daikon oroshi "add-on" (finely grated daikon) which usually comes with a light tangy vinegrette sauce such as the ponzu sauce. The subtly sweet daikon and refreshing tangy and zingy ponzu sauce is a perfect foil to the heavy meaty flavours of the meat and the umami of the pork fat, and literally sets our taste buds alight. Onkei's tonkatsu is of a good size. Quality-wise, I think that it is good but a tad lower than some of the other tonkatsu restaurants which serve a more premium breed of pork as it is noticeably less juicy (not dry or tough for sure!) and less fatty albeit with a higher price tag. I love that besides white rice, Onkei also serves Japanese Hokkaido multi-grain rice at no extra cost and yes, it's free flow!

1-for-1: Main Dish + Cocktail (save ~ $55) Head to The Telegraph by Olivia, conveniently located at Guoco Midtown, and indulge in our #BurppleBeyond 1-for-1 deals: Main Dish + Cocktail or Main Dish + Bar Bites. Don’t miss out on the Coconut Braised Beef Short Ribs, served with apricot and raisin pilaf, splashed with coconut gravy, and topped with house peri peri. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty meal or a casual bite, they’ve got you covered!

Good food at a good deal! Choose from your pick of burpple deals at this cafe bistro at the swanky new Guoco Midtown. We went with the Mains + Bar Bites combo, meaning from a selection we could get two sets of Mains + Bar Bites for the price of 1, worth! For Bar Bites, we got the Har Cheong Gai Winglets ($16.80) and Grilled Lamb Chops ($26.60). Winglets were crisp, juicer, but could use slight bit more intensity in flavour. Lamb chops came in such a large portion, but about a quarter of it were the fats haha! Otherwise, the lamb was grilled well and nicely seasoned, without the gamey taste but a tad too oily for my liking. As for the mains, we went with the Hokkaido Scallop Pesto ($24.80) and Miso Baked Salmon ($26.80). While the scallops weren't quite fresh the pesto pasta was quite addictive and paired nicely with the fusili. On the other hand, the baked salmon was a tad overcooked and underseasoned, with the only flavour being some kind of miso mayo squeezed on top of the salmon. At least marinate the salmon in miso! The saving grace was the mashed potatoes which was buttery and creamy. Overall, food was decent but there is room for improvement. Service given was also just passable. Ambience of the place was nice but somewhat stuffy and warm. But the burpple deal sweetened the meal, with the total for the 4 dishes plus a pint of beer coming up to just $76.

Dinner at the telegraph Wanted to try this place and enjoy the new guocco midtown. The pasta was ok, they gave quite a few scallops (more than I expected) I like the fried squid, portion size is quite big. The har Cheong gai chicken was a little too Chao da, could tell they over refried. But we paid around $70 for two mains and two pretty big sides & the place was nice and quiet But not sure if I will come again although.

Pan-seared Sea Bass with Miso Carbonara I'm often disappointed by cafe pasta, but I'd say this did its job. Well-done noodles with a skilful design of flavours. The fish got some standard but could be better.

Braised Beef Cheek Risotto I surrender. I came in always cynical of cafe food and this really impressed me. Beef was flawless - so wine-intense, beefy and tender. By extension, the rice was just perfect every mouth. Sadly it's very little, its only blemish.

Mushroom Croquettes Lovely mushroom cream inside. This one can.

1-for-1 Bar Snacks (save ~ $15) Head back to Liberty Singapore at MBFC Tower 2 and indulge in #BurppleBeyond 1-for-1 Main Courses like the umami-packed Prawn Tagliatelle. Or spice up your evening with 1-for-1 Bar Bites, including the irresistible Corn Rib — perfect with a refreshing cocktail in hand!

Crab Omelette $32 I didn't expect this behemoth of an omelette which could have easily fed 2. The fact that it was stuffed to the gills with delicious crab lump meat and unctuous crab fat made it even more of a struggle to finish regardless of how tasty it was.

Crabby Shrimp $39 @liberty.singapore runs a pretty unbeatable weekends-only pizza offer. For only $9.90++ (top-up $10 for premium pizzas), you get some damned good pie that's even better than some specialty pizza restaurants. - The Crabby Shrimp comes loaded with a sea of shrimp, crab, baby scallop and crab mayo layered over a mozarella and sambal base. It's an ocean of umami piled atop a thin and crisp crust that I found more enjoyable than other highly lauded pizzas in town. - This is a hidden gem here worth the trip down for a lazy weekend brunch sans the crowds. https://www.libertysingapore.sg/weekend-pizza-offer

Yakitori (4 pcs for $4.90) Succulent grilled chicken skewers glazed with a heavy, sweet, savoury yakitori sauce. Every bite is sure to make your mouth dirty with the sauce while you savour the tenderness of the meat.

Ikura Chawanmushi ($5.90) Smooth, wobbly egg custard with various ingredients, topped with ikura. It's really smooth.

Saba Teriyaki Don ($12.90) Smoky charred saba, mentaiyaki tamago, and tobiko onsen egg over a bowl of steaming hot pearl rice sprinkled with furikake. The chewy saba fish is charred nicely to give a hearty smokiness without being overly burnt, and the teriyaki sauce adds extra depth of flavour. The mentaiyaki tamago carries a hint of sweetness, while the mentaiko adds umaminess and savouriness. Remember to mix the onsen egg with the rice before eating to enjoy a creamy, delicious bowl of rice.
