This felt like a salad I would get at a free flow salad bar, because it contains sooo much ingredients! There’s a huge variety of vegetables, such as baby spinach, kale, broccoli, purple cabbage, pumpkin, cucumber etc. and it had quinoa, smashed avocado and hummus too! The pomegranate seeds and cashew nuts added a nice crunch. This was really filling and I like how every bite was different as there’s so many textures and flavours in a single dish.

I really like the wide variety of toppings in this dessert! Our base was the classic grass jelly, and it was topped with taro balls, sweet potato balls, yam Q, red beans and black pearls. We had additional hearty purple ball($1.20) and mini matcha ball ($1) as well! 😋 It was my first time trying the hearty purple ball, and I really liked it! It has a nice QQ texture, and wasn’t too sweet. Such a pity that there were only 2 pieces and $0.60 per piece might be a bit too pricey 😰 Nonetheless, I would consider adding this topping the next time I eat at Blackball!

Thank you Burpple for this Eatup! 😋

White Rabbit Candy is the one of the latest food trends, and Blackball is serving their own take on this viral trend! Back on their menu is the Milky Lollies Soft Serve, which is inspired by White Rabbit Candy. And this is only available for a limited period only.

This soft serve costs $4.50 and it’s topped with Blackball’s signature tapioca pearls. While I love desserts, I was a little apprehensive that this would be too sweet for my liking. Also, Blackball is known more for their traditional Taiwanese desserts, so I wasn’t too sure how their soft serves would fare. But I was really pleasantly surprised because this was good!! There was a hint of White Rabbit Candy taste, and it was not too overpowering. The soft serve was not overly sweet as well! 😊👍🏼

Thank you Burpple for this Eatup!! 😋

Generous serving of crushed avocado on two slices of toasted sourdough, topped with 2 poached eggs, Roma tomato, kale, walnut and pesto sauce. The pesto was an interesting but welcome addition to the dish, and it sets Kith cafe’s avocado toast apart from the usual renditions served in other cafes!

Kith Cafe has really big portion sizes! This salad was a mix of crunchy salad greens, kale, walnut, cucumber, Roma tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, feta cheese, roasted garlic and tahini dressing. While this was really filling and tasty, I felt that it was quite pricey, especially since there was no meat. You have to add $5 for marinated chicken or smoked salmon, or $1 for $2 for 1 poached egg.

Also known as Volcano Tofu, this dish came steaming hot!! The tofu was silky smooth and had a melt in your mouth texture. The sauce was flavourful and had bits of minced meat and seaweed. This is one of their signature dishes and a definite must order when you’re here!

You Kee XO is a famous restaurant in JB and this is their first branch in Singapore. While I’ve never tried their original branch in JB, the food here was really really good! They specialize in roast meat and they offer a platter of 3 of their classic roasts — Crystal BBQ Pork Belly “Char Siew”, XO Signature Roast Duck and Traditional Roasted Pork Belly “Siu Yuk”. This platter comes in 3 sizes: $23.80 (for 2 pax), $33.80 (4 pax) and $43.80 (6 pax).

Hands down the highlight of this platter was the char siew! 😍It was perfectly charred and caramelised, and had a very chewy and buttery texture. The siu yuk was fatty, fragrant and crispy. The roast duck was really tender and had a crispy skin.

This was overall one of the best roast meat I’ve ever had!! So so happy to have dined here! Plus the service here is really good! They even offered us a complimentary green bean soup to end our meal 😊😋👍🏼

This is really affordable compared to other restaurants!! The small portion is only $9.80 😱 and for its price, the unagi was really quite good! It was grilled nicely - crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside (but I would have liked it to be more charred) Nonetheless, it was still a satisfying and affordable meal!!

I think I just found my new favourite at Two Men Bagel House! When we went at 1pm, almost all the bagels flavours were sold out (!!) but thankfully we managed to get our hands on a seeded bagel. We ordered the Warthog, which I think is a new addition to their menu? And it was sooo good 😋 I love the Asian flavours in this bagel - thick cuts of smoked pork belly with char siew sauce, cucumber, onion and coriander. And their bagels were freshly made and toasted 👍🏼

Creamier has moved to a new outlet in Toa Payoh! The new outlet is more spacious and has more seats, but it was still very crowded when I went on a Sunday night. I’m a HUGE fan of chocolate peppermint, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that there was not one but two variations of the flavour - oreo mint and peppermint chocolate!! 😍 Oreo mint is mint ice cream with oreo bits, while Peppermint chocolate is a dark chocolate base infused with peppermint. While both were really nice, I decided on the former because I really like how refreshing the mint ice cream was! And it was paired with warm, crispy waffles and drizzled in maple syrup and chocolate 👍🏼 We had to wait around 20minutes for the waffles though....but it’s well worth the wait!!

Swensen’s is known for their ice cream (It started out as an ice cream parlor after all!), and Sticky Chewy Chocolate is one of their bestsellers! There were so many people ordering this. I really enjoyed this ice cream sundae! The chocolate ice cream was rich and sticky, and it was served with generous amounts of hot fudge sauce! 😍 And surprisingly, it was not too jelak for me 😅 I guess with this, there’s no such thing as too much chocolate 👍🏼

Durian cendol!! 😍 This comes with a generous serving of kidney beans, green jelly, loads of gula melaka and a big scoop of durian! The durian was rich and creamy, but it could have been fresher. I guess maybe because it’s not in season now? 😥 Overall, I enjoyed this penang cendol, but $7 is a little too pricey
