4/5 Filter Brew Ethiopia 3/5 3oz White Ethiopia 4/5

Hidden gem with good quality coffee Our 5oz Flat White ($5) came filled to the brim with creamy goodness. As someone who is not a fan of dark, bitter coffee, this cup holds a good balance of velvety smoothness with just the right amount of milk - enough to taste the espresso, but creamy enough to not have an aftertaste.

No Frills, Good Coffee 𝙏𝙂𝙄𝙁!!! And TGFN (Thank God for @nyloncoffee 😆🍃☕☕) Finally made it here again after a few failed attempts (Covid, renovation works etc...) and I'm truly thankful for the chance to savour a simple cuppa coffee that goes straight to the heart. ♥️♥️ Definitely one of my go-to coffee places whenever I'm in the Duxton area~~

Spicy Diablo Crab & Prawn (Price $19.90) The pasta serving is good for sharing. The dish contains Fresh egg tagliolini, char-grilled prawns, crab claw meat, zesty spicy egg creme, pepperoncino. The overall taste is still not bad but it didn’t taste as fantastic as compared to the other pastas.

Lobster and Crustacean Mac & Cheese (Price $26.90) Seafood lover would love this! It consists of Boston lobster claw, lump crab meat, sustainable caviar, bechamel, cheddar, mozzarella, parmigiano. The portion of the food is good for sharing too.Those who love pasta would love this place, their pastas are so good. Good for gathering as well :)

Summer Truffle Tagliolini Carbonara (Price $18.90) Other than the taste of the usual carbonara that you’ve eaten, it added a bonus taste- truffle! Usually, carbonara taste ‘jelak’ after a few mouth, but for this dish,the truffle blends in with the pasta well, the nice aroma and taste of the pasta makes you clear the dish within minutes. The place is good for birthday celebration and gatherings.

Yummy Sushi Rolls (with a price tag) Tucked in a quiet corner of Far East Plaza, the sushi bar serves sashimi and sushi at slightly premium prices. Pictured here are 3 sushi rolls served on a common plate that would be about approx $62 after service charge and GST. The sushi rolls were however, quite delicious and fresh.

salmon don (22++) sushi bar is truly a hidden gem found in far east plaza! salmon on the don was fresh and thick cut, with perfectly cooked japanese rice underneath. service was excellent as well, sushi bar is my go-to for birthday celebrations! 🤍

House Pour Sake We saw outside that there was happy hour for sake on Mondays to Thursdays and we decided to give it a go as $5++ for a cup is relatively cheap for alcohol! Sake was very light although the taste of alcohol was much more prominent than that in other sake drinks, which may or may not be to everyone's liking. We also did not ask the staff which sake drink was this, hence we are not even sure if the drink is from the hakushika distillery.

Lobster Rolls The lobster was tiny compared to bread. Ended up eating the bread with fries. The fries is tasty though! Wouldn’t come back for this lobster rolls, but don’t mind coming back to try the crab!

Live Crab Combo 1 live crab, 300g prawns, 300g clams, corn and sausage with their world famous signature sauce for $97++. Portion just nice for 2 adults. Crab size is pretty big and the sauce is not too spicy and overpowering. Able to taste the freshness of the seafood.

Fried Rice The fried rice with crab meat platter is yummy! Whereas; the garlic bread has no garlic taste, taste bland!

Spicy Asian Crab Penne SGD 16.90 - Finally get to try Rouse and it's their second last day of operation. Hope they'll resume operation soon 😐 This dish was rather spicy and it has a very strong dried shrimp taste. Not my type of dish .

Salmon Stack Salmon stack: smoked salmon sandwich with cream cheese on toast, though I think they could use a bagel instead of normal toast maybe it'll taste better | tandoori chicken spaghetti(?): my friend didn't really like it, saying that the spaghetti dance taste weird, and that the tandoori chicken didn't have the tandoori taste at all. | quinoa...: sorry i keep forgetting the names but the last one is a quinoa salad, the main is kinda large of a portion looking like a chunk of meatball, maybe should shrink the size of the ball but have more of it

Sweet potato fries cravings? There are so good to pig out in while working. 😅 ⋅ #RouseOnDunlop

Back to @fatcowsg for their donburi, using @tripleplussg, deal one for one main. Feature : Miyazaki A4 Wagyu Sliced tender melt in the mouth wagyu, served with Japanese rice, caviar, foie gras, onsen egg, truffle oil. 💰$128++ 📍Fat Cow. 1 Orchard Boulevard, #01-01 Camden Medical Centre.

Miyazaki A4 Wagyu Premium Donburi Unapologetically sinful, Fat Cow’s Miyazaki A4 Wagyu Premium Donburi ($128) was real decadent. A large bowl of well-seasoned beef fat rice layered with slices of A5 Nagasaki wagyu topped with caviar, buttery foie gras, ikura, a runny onsen egg, and truffle shoyu - there was really quite a lot going on. Apart from the medley of heavy-tasting elements, the rice portion was also a little much. However, the fat-laced wagyu steak was indeed flawlessly grilled (perfect when dipped into the brilliantly yellow yolk). Done medium-rare, it was succulent and complementary to the heady truffle aroma. Not overly beefy, the thickness of the protein was just right for me as it felt substantial without being overwhelming. The alfalfa, on the side, was a great touch in cutting some of the richness. What’s more, I truly enjoyed the cubes of pan-fried foie gras (so tender and strangely, pleasantly sweet) and the briny pops of ikura. With the lunch set was also a lovely Chawanmushi topped with a flavourful layer of ankake as well as miso soup and not forgetting a scoop of ice cream for dessert.

Fat Cow Donburi Tried the highly raved fat cow donburi with melt in your mouth wagyu. Truffle shoyu enhanced the taste of the rice and the onsen egg was perfect.

HANDS DOWN FAV French toast 🍞 📍Clarke Quay u know it’s good when u nearly cried after finding out it closed down 😭😭😭 just wanna do a review anyway for the memories they have sweet & savory options for the French toast; I’ve tried both. The sweet one comes with lots of berries, the savory one has BACON STRIPS and yes I prefer the savory French toast! The bacon went really well with the sweetness of the maple syrup AND the toast itself was super fluffy and warm with a slight crisp on the outside. an absolute masterpiece. I’m honestly so sad it closed down 😭

Every So Often I come to ronin every so often (as the title indicates) and it’s kinda a hit and miss with the scrambled eggs. I used to think the scrambled eggs were like the best in Singapore because it was runny like the Gordon ramsay style (if you know you know). But these days, it’s only like that half the time. Mushroom, bread and drinks are still good tho.

Savoury French Toast Although its called Savoury French Toast, its more of a sweet and salty meal. The toast with butter and syrup is so yummy I wouldn’t mind if they just gave me more of that. At first I found the braised apple kinda weird, but it cuts through the oily and saltiness of the bacon so it becomes a cycle of sweet and salty which is nice.

The food is to die for Love everything about this cafe/bar. The ambience, the food, the drinks, it’s all amazing. The shakshouka and the waffles are probably the best ones I have tried in sg. It’s amazing and the portions are huge. Though pricey, I would say it’s worth it.

Taste worth trying The mains come in halves so it’s easy to share with a friend. The meat was tender and flavourful, and e toast was buttery and amazing on its own. Enjoyed the eggs benedict and the pork confit. Will definite come again with more people to try out more stuff!

Berry waffles Waffles thick and crispy. Berry yogurt flavoured ice cream not too sweet. Medley of flavours and textures with crunchy granola too

Beef Sirloin Noodles (Dry), Pork Floss Fries Such a fan of Grub's beef noodles, which come laden with minced meat, a crusty beef ball, and tender slices of beef sirloin in a separate bowl of cloudy broth. That little cup of watermelon and cucumber salsa is such a nice touch as well! And how can I ever resist one of their lipsmacking fries? The pork floss one is not bad, though nothing will ever beat their Mentaiko Fries, I reckon.

Dinner gets beefy last night. Finally tried their noodles and I must say they're not stingy on ingredients! I love how the meatballs are done medium with a huge bowl of beef slice soup. 😋 #burpple #bestmeatballs

Beef Noodles (Dry) - S$14 GRUB Noodle Bar's beef noodles comes in 2 forms - the soup & dry version. To savor the difference individually, we decided to go for the dry version & boy was that a good choice! We had a go at the Pasture-Fed Rump which came with the soup broth! Though a little tough (maybe slightly overcooked), the soup broth was thick & rich! What I love more was the meatballs that came with the dry noodles! Chewy & cooked just right with a slightly rare center, this beats the swedish meatballs hands down!

Disappointing and overpriced Friends used to frequent this cafe so we decided to drop by. Had the Duck Confit Rosti ($22), Truffle Fries ($13), and Kombucha ($8). Rosti was pretty thin but I give it a thumbs up for being crisp at the edges and also quite delicious. Nothing to complain about for the eggs but I thought the "duck Confit" was more like shredded leftover duck. Fries came in a huge portion but I could barely taste the truffle. And the volume of kombucha I got for 8 bucks was pathetic. Service-wise, it was passable but bordering on unfriendly.

Smoked Salmon Hash ($22) Smoked Salmon Hash ($22) This came with 2 poached eggs, and a generous amount of smoked salmon on top of crispy rosti, topped with Tobiko! The smoked salmon was slightly salty, but had a nice flavour too, altho it did overpower the rosti flavour a little. Overall a nice place to chill at, and you might need to queue for seats during weekends & lunch timings. Much preferred the vibes over the food, so go with managed expectations! Overall Rating: 7/10

Mentaiko Mac and Cheese ($20) Established in 2013, @knockhousecafe is located a few minutes walk from Upper Thomson MRT. Previously known as Pacamara, they have rebranded to Knockhouse Cafe since 2020. Mentaiko Mac and Cheese ($20) Slightly cheesy and creamy, but would prefer a much stronger Mentaiko flavour and more generous sauce! Didn't particularly enjoy the chicken that was within because of the texture and flavour.
