Hokkaido Festival Menu Enjoy the best of both worlds (Shabu Shabu & Yakiniku) with @shaburikintan.sg all-you-can-eat buffet! They have recently launched a new seasonal Hokkaido Festival Menu, featuring unlimited Hokkaido meat cuts (Pork Collar/Jowl/Belly), Ramen Salad, Potato Mochi, Crab & Potato Croquette, Sapporo Miso Ramen, Hokkaido Milk Ice Cream and many more! This buffet is a bang for your buck because for under $40, you get to enjoy a wide variety of meat, vegetables, noodles, rice, side dishes, dessert and drinks! You can select Single Pot for the individual hotpot or top up $1 for the Twin Pot. Choose the soup bases from Original Konbu, Chicken Collagen Paitan, Hot Miso, Tonkotsu, or Sukiyaki. A secret hack I learnt is to grill the potato mochi! Trust me and try them out for yourself! It's so good! The seasonal Hokkaido Festival Menu is only available for a limited time only, so hit them up soon!

Shaburi Shabu-shabu The choice to choose between Yakiniku or Shaburi Shabu-Shabu, went for the latter because the slots for Yakiniku was packed all the way. Thankfully my friend went to get Q number early at 5+pm and we were informed of an available slot at 7pm. Upgraded to the Special Shabu, so its 90 mins dining time, with more choices of meat. I usually go for beef 🥩 when it comes to Japanese hotpot, and preferred Angus Beef here compared to Tasty Beef as I prefer less fats in meats generally. Individual Twin Pot for soup, Tonkotsu and Hot Miso. Tonkotsu was satisfying, rich broth and doesn’t interfere much with the taste of the ingredients. Hot Miso was lackluster, doesn’t pack as much flavor and spiciness as I would like. For drinks bar, an array of cooked food and other ingredients there will be lists of papers to order due to the covid situation now. Would recommend this place for their Shaburi Shabu-shabu due to the quality of the meat and at least I discovered a broth I really like on my first try!

Super Juicy Beef Steak! Had the premium ($46.8++) buffet and it was worth every cent! The steaks were unbelievably tender and juicy, and we repeated the order for like 5 times. Gyu tan was a delight too!

Price increased 45% :(( This was my favourite Korean bbq place. At the end of last year in 2021, it used to cost $19.9+ for weekday lunch & it was so affordable & the food was great as well! Over time, the price increase to $22.9+ in around early 2022. That was still alright and I continued visiting regularly. However, today (Sep 2022), when I visited, still a weekday lunch (fri), I was shocked to see that the price increased to $28.9+! inflation is urgh Honestly it’s such a pity, at this price point, they are competing with so many other chains and I can’t brand them as affordable anymore… I’m not sure if maybe Mon-Thurs lunch is still $22.9 and they changed Friday to not be counted as a weekday anymore but I’m just disapointed haiz :( The food is still great, would recommend, but personally will not visit & would rather now go try other places at this price point…

Bad experience 03iune 2022 Had a personal very bad experience with this restaurant. Having made a reservation a day prior and went down early 10mins to the restaurant. Was met with the restaurant's staff and we told her we made a reservation at 5pm. Was thinking she would usher us to a reserved table but No. We were place next to 3 customers in less than half a metre. BTW there are only One table with customers. They had 90% of empty tables, with some reservation sign spotted. We made a request to sit another table but was rejected also. She told us is ok to sit nearly conjoined. I then shift the table to make some space for us as one of the customer beside us needed to leave his seat. She came back and asked us to pushed the table back nearly to conjoined again. I reasoned that we are too close but she wouldn't budge.

Maru KBBQ Went to Maru and tried their unlimited KBBQ option ($24.90 for weekends per pax)! They also have mains that are ala carte that looks pretty good😋 KBBQ was decent, with a wide option of items being marinated/non marinated! There is not much Seafood options (sorry to seafood lovers🤧) but its an affordable pricing hence understable😅 Overall ratings are a 7/10 and would visit again if I feel like eating kbbq🤣

Cookies Supreme From this new relatively new kiosk that opened at the basement of Lot One Shopping Mall between Hong Kong Sheng Kee Dessert and MOS Burger; this stall sells a variety of takeaway desserts from Fried Ice-Cream, Fried Mars Bars to Milkshakes and Churros. Regular cinnamon sugar dusted Churros are available and in three different flavours — Red Velvet, Plain and Oreo versions; there are also Ultimate Churros at $4.90; Churros that come with toppings such as this Cookies Supreme and a Chocolate Dream. The Churros are pretty decent here; crisp and a little dense inside hence the firmness. Coming in portion of three Churros cut into four strips each, the Churros are first dusted with cinnamon sugar before cookie crumbs and chocolate sauce comes loaded atop. Flavours are rather predictable and would fit the typical sweet tooth, but all in all it does add for a good addition for the neighborhood especially for the fact that it is Muslim-owned. Do note that the food churns out rather slow here; it's a simple one-man operation who have to deal with the deep fryer, the blender and the waffle machine all by himself — waited around 5mins for this to be done while the customers ahead of me who ordered the waffle were still waiting for their order when I left; just a head's up for those who might be thinking of grabbing a fast bite from the stall.

Loopy Loop A limited edition item whereby 6 pieces of churros were given instead of the normal 3 pieces, they are crispy on the outside, soft and hollow on the inside, filled with lots of cinnamon sugar and comes with chocolate sauce.

dining at the hood. enjoyed the 2 kimchi selections and stuffed myself silly with kimchi and green leaf lettuce wraps (i just love veg wraps!). make your $25++ dinner worth and just gun for the marinated meats. cooked section is really just not inspiring.

korean bbq ($25++ / pax, friday) @ ssikkek, junction 10 because aws bonus, we have meat on the table! lol. simple meat cuts, modest marination to serve but not to impress, pedestrian fares.. of course you cannot ask for the sky with a $25++ buffet but is definitely decent enough for a most no frills korean bbq affair. notably, popular with students and army boys.

• Annyeong! Lovely dinner with @chichiwhichy , thanks for coming back to visit! Miss you so much! 😘😍 #vsco #vscocam #food

Beef Soup Forgot the exact name.. But there's beef and gamja/potato. Nice!

Meat Feast Headed to the Tanjong Pagar branch for our Korean BBQ feast on a rainy day. Overall it was a good experience, meat was good with a number of varieties. I liked the pork belly best, you can also make your own kimchi fried rice by mixing all the ingredients together on the hot plate, it makes quite a filling dish. Also, you can get the famous melon ice cream there too - for a dollar.

Fish Cake Soup Yuuuuum stufff. Nice boss!

Korean Cuisine is our All Time Favorite 😍 We love every items of their banchan, especially the creamy mashed potato & cucumber pickles (korean achar as my daughter calls it 😅) 😘 Rabokgi ($13) where you could have both the spicy rice cake and ramen at the same time 😋 Boneless Short Rib ($27) bbqed in the kitchen & served at your table. Soft & juicy but too bland though 😏 Jjajang Myeon ($12) Black noodle always a comfort stable 😙 Beef Army Stew ($38) Pleasing to the eyes & satisfying to the palate 😋 Banana Makkoli (was $20 now $15) added that extra kick to our yummy meal 😘 #burpple

Korean Fried Chicken Korean fried chicken, that is really quite similar to chicken popcorn bites. The star instead, is the bubbling army stew in the background. Surprisingly, the squidball inside has none of that starchy blandness of typical factory-made squid/meatballs. It's flavourful and springy (made in-house?). Couple that with ramen noodles, melty rice cake slices, a gochujang-kimchi soup base that gets more intensely flavoured/saltier(:P) the more you stew it - the spoons just kept going. 💫 Definitely one of the better, if not, the best army stew soup I have had

Too Damn Thick Seafood Pancake Seafood pancake thickest I tried :/ mostly flour and barely seafood or chives. It was supposed to be a starred dish

“Wok-fried Spicy Bullfrog Legs” ($30 for 2pcs or $50 for 4pcs) For frog leg fans who like things spicy, locally-owned @longqingsingapore’s “Wok-fried Spicy Bullfrog Legs” offers the best of both worlds. They use fresh frogs, “mala” spices, and throw in potato, prawn paste, tofu and black fungus to round it up into a one-dish meal. GL really good with a bowl of plain rice.

Tiger Prawns & Fresh Crab Meat Pasta A comforting bowl of seafood aglio olio cooked with generous bits of crab meat and tiger prawns.

Salted Egg Chicken Pasta Hidden in the building between Parkroyal on Pickering and Hong Lim Complex, this cafe has 2 level in this cozy and quiet atmosphere. Serving their food in container, you can enjoy your Burpple one for one deal here. The salted egg chicken was prepared hot and generous amount of chicken pieces in it.

Chilled Prawn Angel Hair I like their unique way of presenting their pasta in the jar. Do not be surprised that the pasta is served cold. And surprisingly it tasted really good! Price:$10+

Angel hair Pasta This is one of the best angel hair pasta as the noodles are really springy and well seasoned. The seafood are done nicely and if you go on Friday they have a 1 on 1 lunch promotion which meant this cost 6 dollars per pax. This place shall become my go to place for lunch on Friday
