dinner set always a long queue, prices are slightly steeper. for its price you get what you expect.

Chawanmushi ($10.80) It is quite small, so it’s good for sharing between 2, but we had a group of 4 so I had a small bite. I thought it was quite nice, my mom really liked it. The egg custard was silky smooth, with a broth that was tasty but light, and filled with ingredients like chicken, prawn, mushrooms, and ginkgo. The menu says it’s topped with mushroom and carrot ankake sauce so I guess that is what the broth is.

Aburi Kaizen Chirashi Kamemeshi Set ($28.80) Flame-seared seafood mix of diced salmon, scallop, prawn, grilled eel, salmon roe and smelt roe served in metal pot with flavoured steamed rice. Set includes choice of 3 mini side dishes & miso soup. A bit pricey for a regular lunch, but this was satisfying! The kamemeshi rice is tasty but not heavily seasoned, I liked the light flavour that wasn’t too salty or sweet. Seafood was quite fresh, had a nice bite and not overcooked. It was smaller than I expected, which is good bc it’s not too filling since there’s also sides. I was afraid it was going to be a big pot of rice so thankfully it wasn’t! The sides were quite good too. I got the mix kaisen yamakake - raw salmon with grated yam (didn’t like the slimy yam); the salmon nanbanzuke tasted like onigiri salmon, a strangely familiar taste but the batter was soggy as it is soaked in vinegar; the pickled radish w herring roe was vvv nice, I liked the yuzu flavour and the refreshing tartness, the herring roe was v interesting kinda reminded me of sea grapes/tobiko?? Miso soup was normal, tasted like the same type as uya (which is different from normal Japanese casual restaurants like ichiban/sushi tei). Overall while I don’t think there’s a big wow factor, somehow I still I really enjoyed my meal and would defo be back!

Prosciutto E Rucola I ordered this Prosciutto E Rucola (S$30.00) through the Oddle Eats platform, and this was one of the more satisfying takeaway pizzas to date. The dough was to my liking: airy and not too dense, with a good balance of crustiness to every bite. It was very nice of them to have packed the arugula and shaved parmigiana separately so that the greens remained raw when served. Apart from the parma ham, another important element was the sauce tub of chilli oil that accompanied the pizza. I’m sure many would agree that one tub was barely enough to go with the pizza, because it could make the already-delicious pizza even more mouth-watering.

Tonnareli Nero 28++ One of the best I've had as of 7/7/21. This tiny portion costs 28++ so savour it slowly but damn the sauce was so full of crab essence. Can only imagine the hours that went into it. Must try! We had pizza and bread so this portion worked for the two of us(anything larger and we wouldn't have finished). Cicheti serves restaurant quality Italian at restaurant prices but at such an ulu place. Their food is fortunately a cut above the rest though so the prices are kind of justified

Chili Oil Off menu. Request for it to go with your pizza. It was uh-mazing. I'm really glad the chili is real, there's quite some heat so it isn't just oil. There's a distinct Asian influence, almost sort of a mild funk to it but the edge is taken away since it's only an infusion. Good to enjoy by dipping the crust in, esp for monsters that usually throw the crust away

The Laneway Market Loved the Sous Vide Egg with Hash and Crispy Soft Shell Crab Burger!

Sous Vide Eggs $14 Got lucky with my choice for brunch because service and food here is less than impressive. The eggs were closer to soft-boiled than I would have liked but made for a perfunctory sauce in service of the really tender and moreish 24 hour beer braised pulled pork and yummy crispy potato hash. Bonus points for real, crackly pork bacon and sweet marinated peppers. Taste: 3.5/5

| 🍝 Generous serving of Homemade Pasta、 With a huge punch of Truffle every mouth。 ... ~ · Truffled Carbonara - $16 · Homemade linguine, shimbiji, pork chorizo, bacon, soft poached egg, parmesan, truffle zest · Paste is homemade so it's thicker. Truffle kinda empowering especially for first timer, but Truffle lovers like me will enjoy it. Overall it's a pleasant dish · The Laneway Market @thelanewaymarket

Rose Latte Iced $7 Value for money for $7. Rose flavored latte. Right taste, right quantity. Decor and ambience of this place is just wow. Little hard to find near tanglin, but totally worth the visit. 5 stars

Avocado Toast with egg $13 Brilliant is the word. Ample avocado, enough egg. Perfect for a grand breakfast. Complete value for money Beautiful decor and amazing staff. 5 stars

Good Place! Repeat customers of the cafe, pictured is the big breakfast and lychee tea both of which were satisfactory and delicious!

Danmisoft Soft Served Ice Cream Strawberry and Honey Comb soft served ice cream 》$3.90 / $5.90 Great for cooling off the heat from the sun. The soft served itself was alright but it was too sweet for honey comb. The texture is not as smooth as compared to others.

Soft Serve With Manuka Honey ($3.90) On weather like that, we all need to cool down a little. Tucked in a corner (beside Gong Cha and Teo Heng) at the newly renovated Suntec City is a soft serve franchise from Korea called Danmisoft. Their Soft Serve with Manuka Honey ($3.90) is the perfect solution to an otherwise sweaty day. Also, do get them to sprinkle some Himalayan Sea Salt for the added magic touch.

For Affordable Soft Serve A plain cup of Original Soft Serve here will only set you back $2.90 — a pretty good deal considering the creamy delight here is made from organic milk. If you can’t live without toppings, a range of the usual suspects ($3.90 to $5.90) like caramel popcorn, chocolate, strawberry and honeycomb are also available. Ask for the optional dash of Himalayan pink salt for a savoury contrast that will bring out the delicate sweetness of the ice cream!

My Noodles with Double Roast I finally tried their noodle but its not bad tbh even I didn't opt out for another noodle variation ($13) tbh. Char Siew is tender enough with "fat" whereas lor bah skin really crispy and crunchy enough but the meats really tough to chew through. I really grateful that they don't have gst or service charge to cover up.

Bring little boss eat one of his fav noodle, @iwantmynoodle. We ordered my truffle oil noodle with minced pork (additional $3 for minced pork). Qiu Qiu noodle served with the truffle oil in the spoon, mushroom and egg. 💰$11.5 for noodle n additional $3 for minced pork. 📍I want my noodle. 1 scoot road, #03-14/15 #shootoniphone

My Truffle Oil Noodles | $10.90 Earthy and flavourful, perfecr with soft boiled egg. When it was served, the truffle aroma lingers in your nose. However after a few mouthful the truffle seem to dissipates. Egg noodles which was made from scratch was chewy, and had a nice al dente texture which I like. Wish there was some minced meat which could go along. Would come back for the noodle.

Pong Acai Bowl ($6.80) Acai sorbet served in coconut husk with toppings such as banana, peanut, chia seeds and granola. Acai was a little sweet for my preference but overall a refreshing treat. Plus since it's the season to be jolly, you'll get 10% off your Acai bowls for this month!

Pong Coconut & Passion Fruit Sorbet - $ 5.50 The Coconut ice cream was yummy, and I chose the Passion Fruit flavour to balance the sweetness and from the creamy Coconut.

Coconut Gelato In A Husk On the menu, it's the Coconut Gelato with Sorbet in a Husk with three toppings for $5.50. Since I absolutely love the coconut gelato, I asked to have two scoops instead of a sorbet. Worth it. For toppings, I chose to have all Nata De Coco, which was very refreshing. Whilst indulging on the gelato, I also loved the scraped coconut young in the husk. But wait, there's more?! Inside the cup that supports the husk is a few treasured sips of coconut juice. What more could you possibly want? Wonderfully delicious, perfect texture and flavour, and a very enjoyable experience. Fun dessert! If you're around Cineleisure and Scape, you need to try this.

Oven Baked! Not Fried Wings! Simple love this non fried wings. Eat with less guilt and so good. Crispy skin with tender meat. Smelling great with the herbs coating the skin. (Pricing: either $7.90/$8.90 for 3 or 4 pieces. Oops I forgot!)

[Limited] Sarawak Laksa ($16.90 nett). It's only available on some Sundays, and there are limited portions per day, so call first to specifically reserve a bowl before heading down. 🔸 I liked this very much. It's more subtle and has a smoother rounder taste. The laksa paste consists of sambal belachan, tamarind, lemongrass, herbs and spices, and coconut milk, mostly airflown from Sarawak itself. And this explains why it is only available on certain Sundays. Hope you'll enjoy this aromatic bowl of Sarawak laksa as much as we did. 🔸 [Invited Tasting]

Chilli Crab Pasta ($34.90 nett). This is my double shiok pasta - first shiok is the generous amount of crab meat mixed with the pasta and the large crab claw atop the pasta; the second shiok being the super, super, spicy chilli crab gravy. The angel hair pasta was cooked just right too, everything was done well here! 🔸🔸 [Invited Tasting]

ferrero rocher waffles with double scoops ($16) we visited after dinner time and a couple of their waffle flavours were sold out by then, really wanted to try the tiramisu one. the waffles were sandwich between hazelnuts and i think nutella? we opted for ‘vanilla and brownies’ and ‘salted caramel pistachio’. the salted caramel pistachio was not bad as they had the whole pistachio mixed within the ice cream. salted caramel taste was not too salty. good contrast with the sweet waffles. vanilla and brownies was a pretty normal flavour

Induge Combo Set Induge Combo Set (grab) ($15) Cookies & Cream ($1) Waffle w Chocolate Syrup, Matcha ice cream and Chamomile I really like the cookies & cream mixture fillings inside the waffles and did saw some of the ice cream shop sell fillings such as mochi or chocolate inside the waffles. waffles quite soft and not that crispy as I use grab to delivery over from shop to office. Matcha ice cream was meh (barely matcha taste) like got quite milky and creamy aftertaste.

Cookies & Cream Waffle With Earl Grey And Pistachio Scoops We were back at Oblong for a late-night sweet treat and this time, we decided to try out their cookies & cream waffle, which is really a chocolate waffle with cookies & cream filling in it! While the waffle itself did not have much of a taste (slightly disappointed), the cookies & cream gave the waffle a slight sweetness and crunch! We think it would be best not to get the dark chocolate sauce as the drip as it might be a little too heavy with the cookies & cream filling. For the ice cream, we got the earl grey and pistachio flavours. The Earl grey flavour was rather decent, as we could taste the distinctive flavour of bergamot even though it wasn't too overpowering (which may not have gone well with the rest of the dessert). However, we thought the pistachio flavour could be a little stronger and more nutty, because we felt that the scoop was overly light. ☹️ Oblong is famous in the area for serving desserts until 1 am in the morning, although you may wish to note that the crowd gets exponentially larger later into the night! Hence, be prepared if you are planning to go at 12 am because you may not be able to make it into the shop.

Crab Melt Sandwich Satisfying thick sandwich with crab cake, cheddar, onions, tomatoes, sriracha tartare and a side of fries which I had upgraded to truffle fries. The crab cake is flavourful with a good texture. This was probably one of the better crab cakes I ever had 》$20 + $2 Parmesan Truffle Fries

Homemade Rosti & Breakfast Sausage It's so sad to see them go 🥺 I'm already missing my weekend brunch at Riders Cafe. The homemade rösti & breakfast sausage is served with poached eggs, bacon, hollandaise and parmesan. The crispy fried potato shreds are well-seasoned and pairs well with their homemade juicy sausage 》$19

Smashed Avo & Eggs ($16) Avocado, Feta, Tomatoes, Poached Eggs, Sesame Seeds, Crushed Hazelnuts, Rustic Toast Quite an enjoyable avo toast! Generous servings of avo that wasn’t salty, the feta, tomatoes, sesame seeds and hazelnuts added additional flavour and texture. Toast was good, crunchy but not too dry.
