1 For 1 Hotpot Pretty yummy hotpot, it’s still a little bit expensive after the 1-for-1 imo, but the food was quite good at least. We paid $38 (before GST) for a small hot pot set. Shop is easy to get to - it is conveniently located right outside Telok Ayer MRT :)

Tuna Salmon Don Looks appetising however not worth the visit. The thin slices of tuna/salmon was not worth if paying the original price. The rice was also not tasty either. I do not feel tt it was worth a visit after the 1-for-1 either.

Kaisen Don – $16 Drop by one of my favourite lunch places for a quick Japanese fix. Affordable price for afresh bowl of Kaisen Don in the CBD. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

1-for-1: Pizza (save ~$22), 1-for-1: Pasta (save ~$22), 1-for-1: Donburi (save ~$22) Got a friend group with some craving Japanese and others wanting Western? Fret not! Corner Bar L'Operetta has both. Try their Kaisen Barachirashi Don, which features a combination of raw and cooked fish, tamago, and more! Their pastas are also excellent, like the super creamy and flavourful Smoked Duck Pasta. What’s even better is their Burpple Beyond 1-for-1 deal on pasta, pizzas, and donburis, making it a great value for everyone! Photo by Burppler Serene Goh

10/10 Aburi Salmon Don Tried the aburi salmon don. Portion was just nice. The salmon also tastes fresh. Would definitely come back for more! Maybe the pasta next?😆

Kaisen Barachirashi Don Pretty much enjoyed this Kaisen Barachirashi Don 🍚 ($20++) at @echizensg @operettacornerbar, which features a medley of salmon & tuna sashimi 🍣, unagi, ebi 🦐, tamago 🍳, cucumber 🥒, ikura & tobiko! 🌟 . Nothing can be more gratifying that seeing this array of seafood lying atop a bed of fluffy Japanese rice! 😍 Sashimi was fresh & chunky, with a generous amount of tobiko & some popping ikura which added some umami to the bowl. 👏🏻 . Be warned that the portion is quite small (probably enough for a lady but might not be the case for a hungry man 😂). Oh yes, this came with a small serving of miso soup 🥣 too.

Japanese Chicken Don Was a little disappointed, didnt look appetizing either. But since burpple 1v1, it's okay. But wouldnt patronise if full priced though.

High Hopes Dashed Had a good experience previously with their Dons. However, DO.NOT.ORDER.THE.TRUFFLE.PASTA It's bland as hell.

Pork Katsu Rice Nothing to rave about. Oil used was definitely old & re-used, they should have used a newer batch of oil to fry this. It's pretty obvious from the darker tones of the crispy batter. The pork meat was also kinda dry, which I believe was due to the meat being overcooked or no longer fresh? Generally a lot of room for improvement. Rating: 2 / 5

chicken pesto pasta The combination of pesto pasta with shredded grilled chicken is just what i needed! I could taste the freshness of basil and a hint of garlic from the sauce, definitely one of my favourite pasta!

MATCHA LATTE Milk taste > green tea taste; slight sweet; personally prefer a stronger green tea taste..

CRUMBLE & BLUEBERRY MUFFIN/BANANA CHOCOLATE MUFFIN The muffin are very soft and moist; generous portion of blueberries/chocolate; personally prefer the banana chocolate muffin to the blueberries muffin as taste is stronger and rich..

Chilli crab & shrimp ($21), roasted pork carbonara ($20) No gst & service charge. Love the chilli crab sauce, shrimp was big too

Food has been consistently good here! Recently back to fuel plus for their delicious food items after some time and I'm happy to report that it's still as good as ever! The Croffle & Truffle Mushroom ($19) was a total pleasure to have. The moment you have a thick rich truffle sauce and mushrooms, you know there's gonna be loads of umami. The scrambled eggs was done just right, and the Croffle was fluffy, almost like a roti prata! Next we have the Pesto Eggs with Cajun Shrimp ($20), and being a pesto lover, this was very decent. The pesto eggs were done just right, and complemented well with their homemade sourdough. The shrimps were well grilled, and had a strong smoky flavour which was much appreciated. Lastly we have the Grilled Seabass (~$25 with side and drink), which was very fresh and well seasoned and grilled. Each piece was very sweet and flaky, and the mashed potato was wonderfully creamy. The truffle tator tots as the side were highly addictive, due to its very crispy exterior. Definitely no complaints with all the dishes we had, maybe just the long waiting time we had to endure before getting all our food. I'm guessing they might have a shortage of kitchen staff or just not used to large group orders! What's even better is that you can use #burpplebeyond for 30% off their food items! Will be back 😍

Still my go-to cafe! Menu changed in 2023, and whatever new items we tried (roast pork carbonara, bacon pappardelle and cajun chicken) were 😋 😋 😋😋😋

not genuine! 👎🏻 informed the staff upon entering that i would like to use burpple & asked which mains the deal is applicable to. sat down & ordered accordingly. food - not too bad. • the deep fried cauliflower in korean sauce ($11+) was done q well, no overly greasy taste, quite enjoyable. • the pasta looked slightly limp but the crab flavour was not bad ($24+). the pasta was abit on the hard side rather than chewy - probably store bought pasta? other places definitely do it better, like eleven strands! however, when it came to payment, i informed the staff that i would like to use burpple to which i heard an "i know". however, i wasn't sure if i heard correctly so i continued holding my redeemed deal page out for him to look up. he immediately printed the receipt so i asked "you don't need the code or..?" but he just said $38.50. he asked if i needed a receipt after i paid, to which i said yes. however, he only handed me the nets receipt. i realised that the 20% had not been applied so i asked him, to which he suddenly started denying me even informing him and even said i "flashed the screen so fast" that he couldn't even see. uh ok. i then asked for a refund of the difference to which he checked & reverted saying the transaction had gone through, he couldn't refund me. gurl what. told him i'd already redeemed the deal, was there really no way he could make things work for the both or us, and he said "you guys are coming back right? we can offer some discount the next round..." . like we would come back after being scammed 🙄👎🏻 and like you'd remember we have a discount when we actually return. anyway he claimed he was new so we didn't say much. we spoke to another server who immediately helped us to initiate the refund. thought cannot refund?????? anyway, that server handed the task over to the initial person who said cannot refund who very begrudgingly processed the voiding of transaction & a new bill. he then asked me if i have redeemed 2 deals (which confused me because the deal is 20% off mains, not 20% off ONE main) but whatever idm using all 4 deals here since i ain't gonna be back. just sharing - can go for the food but you gotta be really loud & clear & ASK to check your bill BEFORE paying (because it's not reflected on the screen). if not, you might not get your $$ back. oh & also be prepared to redeem 1 deal per main :-)

Pepper Agave Pepper Agave $6.90++ I have chosen this as my afternoon drink in The Coffee Academics. This was my first attempt and it didn't disappointing me. The well combination of coffee and pepper did surprise me and I would certainly go for another try if I visit them again. The pastry I chose to go along with this cuppa was Chocolate Hazelnut Cruffin. This was quite similar to that of Danish that I had in Alchemist.

Breakfast Pancakes with Espresso Butter Pancakes were fluffy and light. Came with fried egg and bacon. Delicious meal!

Pulled Pork Sandwich $8.90 Eat this fast or else your bread gets soggy from the pulled pork fillings. I like the pickles as it went well with the flavourful pulled pork!

Caramel Grilled Chicken Sandwich $8.90 My favourite sandwich of all time. Although it was quite salty, the chicken was tender and the egg was soft and nice. Love the soft bread texture too!

Grilled Cheese $5.90 While the cheese was hot and stretchy, it wasn't very flavorful. Bread tasted stale and not as buttery as I'd have liked!

My First Impossible Once you get past the strong fermented scent, digging into the Impossible Burger at Stamford Brasserie was a pleasant surprise. Strangely does taste like real meat! Unfortunately, it didn’t wow me enough to justify the price that impossible meats are normally tagged with.

an underwhelming experience I had visited TSB once before and quite enjoyed my meal then, so this was disappointing in comparison. We shared the TSB burger ($26++) which was highly rated but we found the “wagyu” patty dry, crumbly and cold. We actually enjoyed the brioche pepper bun more. Our other item was the roasted baby chicken ($22++), which fared better. While not flavourful, the chicken was at least moist and tender. We enjoyed the grilled brussel sprouts and garlic mashed potato - these gave flavour that the chicken was otherwise lacking. Service left much to be desired as it was difficult to get hold of the servers for simple things like water and the bill. Hoping that TSB will perform better on the next visit!

Impossible Burger I am a Yellowcarnivore because I generally love my meat and lack an affinity with most vegetables (opps). Having said that, I have been curious to try The Impossible Burger for the longest time ever because of the amazing reviews online. I finally tried The Impossible Burger ($23) at The Stamford Brasserie and I can only say that the reviews are true: how can a plant-based patty tastes so much like a legit medium-seared beef patty😱! The patty is juicy and flavourful - a little on the salty side but not that I mind given my salty tooth. I guess the unsalted chips at the side balanced it out:P The delicious patty goes well with melted cheese, pickles, tomato and Brioche Pepper bun - didn’t expect it to be this good:)!

EatUp Pesto Chicken Pasta (S$19.80++) Fresh chicken strips, onion, fresh tomato, on a homemade pesto sauce with cashew nuts. Not bad although it could get slightly on oily side at bottom.

EatUp Chicken Alfredo Pasta (S$17.80++) Creamy pasta with chicken strips, olive, and basil.
