Prawn Miso Soup Omakase wrapped with a prawn miso soup that didn’t play by the usual rules. This was bold, briny and full of flavour. The prawn stock hit hard with umami. Rich, warming and way more memorable than expected.

Omakase on the Clock Dropped by Sushi to Sumi for their UME lunch omakase and it was quick, simple and wallet-friendly. We get 8 seasonal sushi pieces, 1 charcoal-grilled seafood and miso soup all done in under 45 minutes, standing-style. Had a decent mix of Sea Bream, Flounder, Amberjack, Salmon, Tobiko marinated with dashi, Sweet Shrimp, Bluefin Tuna and Herring. The grilled squid was smoky and tender, a nice change of pace. It’s not the fanciest omakase around but for the price, it’s hard to complain. Simple, efficient and perfect for a fuss-free lunch that still feels like a treat 》$38++

tom yum mussels Another #supportlocal is their tom yum mussels ($24) it’s a MUST GET✨ using @ahhuakelong mussels they did a twist away from their curry signature with this tom yum with a touch of nyonya local touch - sweet sour spicy + slurpable😉‼️

flower crab sandwich My favorite is their flower crab sandwich ($23) with is packed with umami fresh flower crab 🦀 sandwiched by @singhonloongbakery thick toast 👍 an ode to oldie local brands (so apt for a joo chiat cafe 😍)

Flower crab sandwich 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐛 𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐡 (4⭐️; $23) - Crisp on the outside and pillowy soft toast packed full of flower crab with sweet mayo, tangy pickled-shallots, juicy umami pops of ikura, and refreshing herb salad.

black spaghetti with octopus $21 buttery sauce with hint of squid ink unami in the pasta! delicious and beautifully plated to enjoy with a rooftop view!

Pork & Chive Dumplings ($32) we did redeemed 1 for 1 burpple under main dish so the ambience was really intimate and dim light setting. consisted of truffle emulsion, truffle pate, coconut flakes and sourdough bread. my friend and i we did enjoy to eat this dish finish bc got not that strong truffle.

But forgive me as I only having it NOW - and it’s not too late to rectify if you have had @linorestaurant’s Burrata ($28) Pizza. I added mushroom for an extra $6. Pizza still remains vegetarian 🌱 You 👏🏻 Need 👏🏻 This 👏🏻 In 👏🏻 Your 👏🏻 Life 👏🏻 Pronto 👏🏻

Messy ‘Nicoise’ Salad The Messy ‘Nicoise’ Salad ($21.50) came with smashed potatoes and salmon, hard boiled egg, romaine, red onion, long beans, dill and caper sauce, toasted buckwheat and sour cream. I’m not a salad person so I only tried the potato and salmon - I’m pleasantly surprised that the smashed potato is crisp on the outside and the salmon is not overcooked. The dressing is light and nice.

Pork Dan Dan Scallion Noodles This is my first visit to Moonchild and I think I might have hit jackpot: The Pork Dan Dan Scallion Noodles ($21) was sooo good! I was immediately greeted by the fragrance of the scallion green sauce once the noodle was served, even before I dug into it. The knife cut noodles came with mala crisp pork, braised shiitake, grilled mushrooms, long bean, cucumber and onsen egg. This was absolutely delicious - definitely something I will return for.

not worth the hype WAH idk why i need to experience things for myself to believe but fr as all posts on lemon8 said, the scallop rose pasta rly abit overhyped.... 🫣 it's legit what u see is what u get. also the scallop abit fishy imo but i'm also not a seafood fan so maybe less reliable LOL. but it looks pretty la & it's not say not nice, the pasta wasn't soggy & the sauce was creamy & sour (tomatoey) enough. it's just like that lor, unimpressionable. the beef don q yummy! i think abit stupid that they served the beef don v early then the pasta like a good 25 mins later only, like abit poor kitchen planning & the restaurant wasn't v crowded also but anws service was rlyyy good! think people recco-ed the stock chicken pot & scallion oil pork dandan noodles. might be back to try that! otherwise i think this wouldn't rly be somewhere i'd revisit 🤍

Matcha Latte ($8) I finally tried it out their matcha latte after a long time seeing them online lol but then I felt that their matcha got in between sweet and bitter taste. But their matcha latte get cooling so fast :") due to not that high temp to reduce oxidation. I didn't opt out for oat milk bc I didn't wanted to destroy original taste tbh. I hope that I want to order hojicha latte next time when I got time to do that.

iced mocha ($8.72) ✨️✨️✨️

Rosuto Niku Though I am usually on team crispy and flaky for my croissants, Waga Waga Den’s Rosuto Niku ($20+) was a pleasant surprise as the viennoiserie pastry was so buttery and soft. An indulgent snack, the off-menu item is one to savour as the thinly sliced roasted wagyu was wonderfully seasoned and tender - almost melts in the mouth. The tinge of tanginess from the mustard was the cherry on top.

3/5 Ichigo Parfait 2/5 Shoju Sencha 4/5 Sakura Mochi 4/5

Kyoto “Shou/Ripe Pu’er” Noting that the cafe has a minimum order of 1 drink per guest, I got the Kyoto “Shou/Ripe Pu’er” which set me back by $19.80 (ouch to my wallet). Really pricey as their range of teas starts at $12.80 but perhaps you are paying for the vibes and the space is truly lovely - a little slice of Japan in town.

Ichigo Parfait New Year, new cafe. Was eyeing their Yuki (Matcha) Parfait initially but was unfortunately sold on for the day, hence I had Ingen Kyoto’s Ichigo Parfait ($20.80) instead. Whilst I didn’t care for the raspberry jelly right at the bottom (as the texture was quite off for me - kinda gummy), the refreshing dollops of fromage blanc, pear jelly cubes and fresh aromatic strawberries worked well together. The sweet-tangy Strawberry Sake Sorbet was surprisingly good - not icy at all and the flavour was nicely balanced. Similarly, the puff pastry was a fun touch; adding some crisp textures without being cloying as it was light and wasn’t all that buttery.

Quality food with a nice poolside view! If you would like some quality Japanese fare, this is one place to go. Although it may be located in a very unknown area, this place has a poolside view for you to enjoy with your food! I had a Chirashi Don ($19.80) while my friends had the Truffle Wagyu Don with Foie Gras ($35.80) and we got the premium sides (for additional $8) that has miso soup, chaiwanmushi, salmon sashimi and mochi. The Chirashi Don itself boast quite a few ingredients from scallops to chutoro. Every piece of sashimi is really fresh and they were perfect with the freshly grated wasabi and soy sauce. To me I feel like the quality of the rice really makes or breaks a don, and I'm glad to say that the rice in this don is really something. It's not only fluffy, it's very well flavoured with the right amount of mirin. Absolutely beautiful. I tried abit of the truffle wagyu don and I loved how crispy and smoky the beef slices were! The beef slices were tender as well and the truffle taste is noticeable. The foie gras pieces were very rich and fatty, perfect with the bed of rice below. Definitely a good place to come for date nights 😍

Spicy Salmon Don Lovely hidden restaurant with amazingly well priced dishes. The salmon don was so tasty and had great cuts of fish!! The set it came in also included soup and karaage chicken which was also very good.

Wagyu Yu Sheng "Wagyu Yu Sheng" Watch our YouTube food videos! https://youtube.com/channel/UC-fqD07_4yfoHTjCJKSsb2A Shop name: Genzo Impressions: Did not expect much but who knew decadent wagyu would go so well with the sweet-savoury flavours and crunchy textures of Yu Sheng. On top of your familiar Yu Sheng ingredients, there's ikura too. Paired with teriyaki sauce. This was from their CNY 2021 special menu. Rating: 8 / 10 Verdict: ✅ Will eat again ✅ I guess it's okay Meh Not going back Notes: The restaurant is located on a 4th of a private residence and they share a space with a cafe with limited seats. The pool view is nice. Reservation is recommended. Location: River Valley Road, around the corner from Killiney Road #Wagyu #WagyuYusheng #Yusheng

Butter Clam Pot The Butter Clam Pot ($14.90) was fresh-tasting. The slurpy white wine garlic butter sauce was a deliciously moreish combo. However, I would prefer if it was of a thicker consistency to pair it with the slices of country bread as the dish seemed like more of a soup.

Crab on Crab Expect solid cafe grub at Clovelly and a must-order is certainly their Crab on Crab ($24.90) pasta. It is an entire deep-fried soft-shell crab on top of a small heap of mafaldine, tossed with lip-smacking white wine butter cream sauce, parmesan, parsley and chunks of plump Jumbo crab meat. Just light, clean and sweet-tasting. The handmade pasta was perfectly al dente too.

Banana praline toast 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭 (3.5⭐️; $18.90) - One for the sweet tooth with caramelised brown sugar brioche paired with caramelised banana, candied pecans, vanilla bean ice cream, and salted caramel. Personally wished for some toning down of sweetness.
