A great place to satisfy your cravings for Ipoh hor fun. The sauce here has a tinge of a herbal taste which makes one feel less bloated after eating. One must opt for the fried fish nuggets if he had to choose between that or shredded chicken. But of course, I had to have both 😋

Singapore style ramen noodles? To me, it’s upscaled HK wanton noodles which taste out of the ordinary!

I saw that the queue was shorter than usual so I took the chance to finally try this Michelin Bib Gourmand awarded establishment. Firstly, one can’t ignore the aesthetics of the dish which is what draws the crowd. More importantly, the taste is great too due to the homemade sambal and dried shrimp sauce. The dish also comes with extremely tender braised char siew, the usual wantons, the hot spring egg and the crispy potato wrapped prawn (which I’m not really a fan of, would rather more char siew).

It might seem a lil pricy coming in at $8/11/15 a pop but I think you’re paying for premium ingredients and TLC. I mean look how the bowl is painstakingly plated!

It was fantastic. A thick slab of creamy pan-seared foie gras along with slices of US Angus short rib make this dish a hearty one. Of course there’s the onsen egg when mixed with Tanuki Raw’s signature rice, truffle soy sauce and black garlic brown butter, you’ll achieve something so addictively good.

So satisfied!

Can’t believe there’s such affordable Japanese in the CBD area. For $13.90++, you can have Gyoza King’s gyoza set meal.

The set consists of 5 gyozas of which you can select either pork, chicken or prawn, Koshihikari rice, a soup and two side dishes. I opted for the stir fried egg with Chinese chives because LOOK AT HOW RUNNY IT IS. It was great when one eats it with the rice. I also picked the chicken nanban because who doesn’t love fried chicken.

You may also choose deep fried chicken with spicy sauce and mixed sesame, spinach with soya sauce and bonito flakes, pork sukiyaki with raw egg, stir-fried brinjal with miso, deep fried prawn with mayo and deep fried white fish with tempura sauce.

Okay, I've gotta share with you what heaven is like.

Imagine being served authentic Italian free-flow pasta for two hours for only S$28++. It's hard to, right? But it exists.

At Capri Trattoria & Pizzeria, from Tue-Thu, lunch and dinner, they're doing a Giro Pasta and Pizza menu - free-flow pasta OR pizza for as low as S$28++ or S$25++ respectively with a minimum of four diners. From a menu of 13 different pasta dishes, they allowed us to order two pastas first and upon completion, we're allowed to order the next two and henceforth. We had a total of 16 pastas, a new record I believe.

The pastas are extremely good. My favourite out of my many favourites is the Fettucine alla Piemontese (U.P S$28++). The truffle and cream sauce is wonderfully delicate and it pairs so well with the salty bresaola beef slices. All the pasta is homemade, there's just no other way you can have it.

Pasta la vista, baby!

Can you believe this is only $3?

Can you look at the amount of chicken meat compared to the rice? You can’t because there’s just so much meat, you aren’t able to see the rice! Xin Heng Kee has plates that are super value for money. Whether it’s roasted/boiled chicken, braised duck or roast pork, you can get something that doesn’t even out a dent in your wallet. But of course, it tastes good as well!

Always love a good pasta place!

Spaghetti bolognese is my all-time comfort foods (especially if they meatballs)! Sadly, no meatballs but Spagtacular’s take on the traditional bolognese but it has a lovely sous vide egg which when stirred in, gives much more bite to the pasta. I enjoyed the al dente texture of the spaghetti which is hard to come by for places at this affordable price point. Overall, a wonderful dish as I cleaned out the plate of every drop red wine infused beef bolognese sauce.

Also, #BurppleBeyond is available here so imagine getting a main for less than $10?! Definitely coming with a friend next time!

One of my favourites at Mondo Mio is the Gnocchetti in Salsa di Scampi. Besides the perfectly grilled prawns, the sauce which soaks the pasta is a beautiful rich seafood stock flavoured with scampi. You'll eat every single morsel from the plate (well, except the prawn shells!)

One of the best Italian restaurants on my list.

Acqua e Farina (Italian for Water and Flour) recently opened its doors at Rail Mall in Bukit Timah. The restaurant is helmed by two chefs, natives of North and South Italy. That means you can get to experience the whole of Italian cuisine under one roof. Hahaha.

The reason why I enjoy this place so much is essentially the authenticity. You can experience the love put in the cooking just by tasting its food. Most of its ingredients are imported from Italy with the exception of some meats due to AVA restrictions.

One of my favourite dishes (it's hard to choose) is the Fettucine Nere alla Polpa di Granchio. It's homemade squid ink pasta with large Sri Lankan crab meat chunks tossed in tomato sauce and cream. The texture of the pasta has a nice bite to it and the crab is absolutely fresh. Licked the plate clean!!! #Burpproved

This amazing meal was hosted by Acqua e Farina. Thank you Burpple for the invite!

The Tagliatelle is one of those pastas that leaves you satisfied and guilt-free. The pasta is just right, neither too chewy nor too soft. It is perfectly portioned for one with a generous amount of duck confit shreds. The sautéed spinach still retains its flavour despite being doused in a wonderful thin buttery hazelnut cream.

There is no GST or service charge here but tips are welcomed!

One of my favourites at @mischief.sg - the pulled pork fettuccine (S$23++). As it pulls up on the table, one can immediately distinctly smell the spicy chorizo sausages. The pasta holds firm even though it’s been doused in a watery tomato sauce. The think chunks of pulled pork and bits of bacon make this for a hearty meal.

So wonderful that I literally shed a tear.

This is a dish to remember and will always be talked about. The handmade agnolotti with sweet corn, to put it crudely, is orgasmic. One bite into these fluffy pillows and you’ll taste the beautiful piping-hot but delicate amalgamation of Japanese sweet corn purée and soft mascarpone. It’s really hard to explain the experience but I just say you MUST have it if it’s in season. #burpproved
