Thai Green Tea Crepe Cake ($9) I wanted to buy cake last 2 week ago but then I just wanted to eat outside instead at home. But the crepe cake was quite milky and creamy. It's just so good enough with sauce and the thai green tea sauce can enhance well with the cake to avoid dryness. But I didn't fridge the cake and sauce that time so the sauce was turned to waterish state.

mango cake with coconut sauce ($9.00) used burpple at their bugis outlet which sadly only allowed takeaways. the plates they used for dine-ins were so pretty so we rly wanted to dine-in but bopes their packaging q nice if you bringing home and they pack their sauce into these cute bags so you can pour onto the cake yourself at home. the box they used can’t be disassembled though so it was q hard for us to eat bc we ate it outside. the cakes also melted q quickly i liked this cake a bit better than their thai milk tea cake bc at least it tasted like mango but my friend didn’t like the artificial mango flavour that this cake had. there were a few cubes of actual mango in this cake but they didn’t taste that great either. the coconut sauce was v watery and also didn’t have much taste

thai tea crepe cake with thai milk tea sauce ($8.00) this cake was v disappointing lol it looked rly good in pictures so i rly wanted to come and try their cakes but there wasn’t much thai milk tea taste at all. the sauce looked promising as well but it also didn’t taste like anything. the cake was just a v plain crepe cake which tasted v normal

Hand in hand Very good xiao long bao. Pet friendly outside

XLB This place has the best XLB for me . The menu is extensive . Their chilli is awesome, all the usual lamien / steam & pan fried dumpling dishes are delicious and it’s very reasonably priced . I’m not going to DTF or IT anymore . This place is my new to go for authentic northern Chinese food

Hand in Hand Beijing Restaurant Type: Restaurant/Chinese Been here several times already and the food is always consistently good. Super tasty too. They also have private rooms upstairs which is great as we love to bring guests or friends here to enjoy the food. Recommend! My rating: 5/5 ⭐️

Mysore Spiced Rack of Lamb (Part of the $288++ multi-course dinner menu) Right before dessert, the star dish which was the Mysore Spiced Rack of Lamb arrived at the table. Cooked to perfection, the meat was so tender and not gamey at all - love the pinkish hue. The spices coated on the lamb were so good but the trio of sauces elevated the whole experience. The slightly herbaceous, smooth coriander chutney (Thogayal?), the fragrant curry-like sauce (salsa?) and the tangy-hot goan sauce just got my taste buds tingling. Together we were also served their homemade raita (which countered a bit of the richness and heat) and a side of Lamb Biryani which was chock full of ingredients. So satisfying and decadent.

Appetisers & Mains (Part of $288++ multi-course dinner menu) Next up, the first appetiser was a plump Aomori Scallop in a pool of Lemongrass Sothi that was made with turmeric and coconut milk. A kinda Japanese Indian fusion dish with the combination of flavours. And followed closely behind was a heavily seasoned Chettinad Chicken Roti. The succulent, hearty filling paired nicely with soft dough - at this point, I was ready to enter a food comatose but I pushed on. Going into the mains, the Amadai was a competent dish with the lip-smacking Madurai Pepper Crab Rasam. The oh-so-crunchy, crispy, firm-flakey protein matched wonderfully with the comforting peppery crustacean-enriched broth.

Starters & Snacks ($288++ multi-course dinner menu) Practically rolling out of Thevar with my dress almost bursting at the seams; I was really impressed with the satisfying multi-course menu ($288++). My wallet might be crying but my tummy was singing happy tunes. Said to be rooted in Indian traditions and crafted with European techniques, the lineup was pretty stellar and each dish held a beautiful punch. Starting strong, the snacks were to die for, in my opinion. The Strawberry Chaat, in particular, being the unanimous favourite at the table. The thin tart crust was so delicate and the rush of flavours from the juicy berry bits and spices really delivered a balanced yet fun surprise - fresh, sweet and savoury. The tender Iberico crispy pork wrapped in betel leaf was a flavour bomb too with the sambal aioli. The marble-like Beetroot Pani Puri was a delightful number as well and served as a tangy palate cleanser of sorts with the bright pop from the buttermilk and pomegranate.

Coffee one for one Been wanting to try this place and was in the vicinity. Price is good with burpple but you get a weak or milder coffee. Taste of coffee is really weak but I guess good enough for a post lunch pick me up.

a slightly below average cup of coffee was quite hard to find as there was no unit 114 but it's this shop that says 112-116. the coffee was kinda disappointing, esp the hot expresso we ordered - taste of coffee was sooo mild it was almost like hot milk. the latte was as mid as it gets without much coffee fragrance or milkiness. wouldn't come back again even with burpple beyond. service was rly good though!

blink, and you’ll miss this tldr; this place is easily missed, and can be given a miss. Beyond makes the trip worthwhile, but i wouldn’t otherwise return. affordable coffee at $7 for 2 cups of oat latte, for what i would reckon as rather ordinary. i do feel the espresso shot was under-extracted, as the acidic taste was dominant especially in the iced oat latte. hot oat latte was alright though.

Unagi w mentai tamago ($22), snow crab pasta ($15) Unagi was quite small in portion. Mentai tamago combi is 👌🏻. Snow crab pasta taste like chilli crab sauce w lots of meat

Ok food for price (1 for 1) Ordered unagi fried rice - portion is small, unagi not visible but taste of unagi is evident. Seafood pasta came abit wet tasted abit more home cooked than restaurant style. Thought the oyster comes together with the seafood pasta but they claimed they served wrongly (and told me only when I was making payment) - suspect they do this with all tables who didn’t hit the min spending. Then say out of goodwill will give a 15% off for the 1 raw oyster. Overall, nice ambience but poor business ethics, won’t recommend

🐮 Gyuniku Shiogayaki Don ($18) They're pretty generous with the beef slices, which were pretty thinly cut and soft - except that they were q fatty so depends on your preference for meat. The sauce here was also much less compared to the Unatama don so it might be drier at some parts.

Stilton 15+gst The blue cheese layer is strong, it tastes a lot like Roquefort. Then there's the milk chocolate exterior escapsulating rather mild cream Again it's more experimental than anything you really will naturally love. Without the blue cheese piece it's really just a mildly salty hardly sweet cheese cream which wasn't too special honestly, but again the jam worked well It's a strawberry jam and it's sweeter than the overly tart nonsense I had the first time around, no wonder it pairs much better Overall it's alright, but too ex

Gruyere 15+ This was intense. It's just basically cheese cream inside, and again it's hardly a dessert. There's barely any sweetness, just intense funk without much body. The rather light, creamy texture was a joy, and then the brilliance of the jam shows. I hated the jam before but its sharpness counters the funk perfectly and creates a lovely overall dish. On top of the strong funk, there's a bit of sourness Worth a try if you have money to throw.

Apple cheesecake 10+gst This ain't some highbrow creation. This is really basic yet really good, the apple jam layer was pleasant and it combined well w the mild cheese, and the cereal? crust was absolutely lovely Recommended, if you've tried their signatures already

2 for 2 cocktails 2 for 2 cocktails thanks to burpple beyond. Cocktails made to each person’s choice of poison. Super yummy and value for money!

Poet's Poison Love this friendly little Whisky bar and this cocktail with Robert Burns Malt Whisky and Raspberry Vodka Liqueur in the test tube that you can add for additional poison. A cocktail for those who like it just a teeny bit sweet whilst still being a strong drink.

Whisky for the win!

Milo Dinosaur ($8.90) Cheesy soft serve topped with milo powder and milo balls . The cheesy soft serve had a nice rich cheese flavour but a bit of a icy texture . Both the milo powder and milo balls are almost non-existent as they didn't added much flavour/texture to the cheesy soft serve

Abalone Gim Pasta After a not-so-impressive dinner two years ago, I went back to Anju recently for their Abalone Gim Pasta ($34). As that odd girl who orders an entire plate of pasta (meant for sharing) all to herself; I really enjoyed the slurpy chilled noodles. With quite the chewy bite, the thin al dente strands were well-coated with oyster sauce, seaweed sauce and perilla oil. Tangy with hints of savouriness and earthy-sweetness. Dressed together with chopped perilla leaves, the plump sous vide sliced abalone was superbly sweet too, and fresh-tasting with a lovely buttery aftertaste. The aromatic greens and the inclusion of pickled shallots also provided a nice gentle crunch into the mix.

Bossam ($50) Pork Belly l Pickled Mushroom l Dried Squid l Dried Radish l Pickled Garlic Shoot l Baby Romaine Lettuce Wooow this was good!! The pork belly was perfectly caramelised, each piece had a nice char and smoky flavour, and was soooo soft and tender. It was pretty fatty, but still very meaty. It got a bit too fatty for me after a few pieces so I had to remove the fats. Sides were really nice too. The pickled garlic shoot was super good, felt like an interesting version of an asparagus. Dried radish and squid was crunchy and lightly spicy-sweet, and pickled mushrooms were p interesting, I didn’t expect them to be pickled so it was something different, having that sourness. Baby romaine was crisp and was a great vessel to hold everything. Thought this would also go well with rice! It’s a great dish, I would definitely have it again. Felt that portion was pretty huge.

Baek Kimchi ($7) White kimchi l Radish l Red Dates It’s white kimchi! With briny and sour flavours, it was rather refreshing, crunchy and delicate. The red dates gave a nice complementary natural sweetness. Worth a try!

Amigos - Beef was braised till soft with no tendons or fatty parts which I appreciated. - Enjoyed the brioche which soaked up the flavourful sauce, yet maintaining its integrity and surprisingly not soggy! - Sunny up was well-cooked with a slightly creamy yolk and tender whites 🍳 [8/10]

Chamwitch - Honey glazed and black forest ham could be more moist with more cheese as some bites were quite dry with the brioche 🍞 - Onion jam gave a burst of sweet savouriness. - Hashbrown was a bit over-fried and crunchy hard at the edges, would prefer it thicker. [7/10]

B.E.C ($14) B stand Bacon, E stand Egg (scrambled), C stand Cheese. I always ordered their signature sando before venturing other flavour in their menu. I felt that their ingredients was quite filling tbh but the taste was quite creamy and jelak tbh.
