Finally made it down to taste homegrown #modsin Chef Shen Tan's creations! The Shendol Delights ($10) is a twist on chendol, featuring a coconut #pannacotta that had a rather interesting mouthfeel - more smooth and creamy, rather than the usual wobbly texture. Drizzled with gula melaka, topped with chendol and served with house made red bean ice cream, this was a pretty good interpretation of one of my favourite local desserts! #burpple
This comes with half portions of each dish, but honestly, it was filling enough to feed me for two meals. The dishes packed a punch with their spicy flavour and we were thankful for the cold drink on the side to provide some respite. #burpple
The Berry Ricotta Hotcake ($14.90) and Peach & Raisin Ricotta Hotcake ($14.90) were just soooo good, with their incredibly fluffy, cake-like texture. Appreciate the sunflower/pumpkin seed mix l which added texture to the fluffiness and the subtle drizzle of lavender sauce on the vanilla bean ice cream. Definitely recommend sharing this, and you'll not regret! #burpple #brunch #breakfast
A really innovative twist on the ubiquitous French dish, it featured surprisingly tender, juicy duck pieces atop Tagliatelle tossed in a hazelnut cream sauce. Loved the bits of hazelnut in it which added a crunchy texture, as well as the sprinkle of Parmesan sautéed spinach which completed the dish. #burpple
Indeed, the food impressed and we enjoyed every dish! Would recommend the Duck Confit Tagliatelle ($22), Squid Ink Risotto ($26) and Herb Crusted Barramundi ($24). #burpple
☀️ just about the best #blueberry #pancakes in sg, look at how thick and fluffy the stack is! #burpple
And who knew there could be so many variations of this simple dish. Loved the Hot Sukiyaki Soba ($18) that was bathed in a flavourful broth, served with sliced beef, shiitake mushrooms and livened up with a touch of yuzu. Also recommend the Dry Kamo Maze Soba ($16) which was slightly thicker soba noodles tossed in a Chinese-flavored sauce and topped with sliced duck meat and duck meat balls. The #onsenegg that came together with both dishes was just perfect - such a generous yolk that popped in our mouth as we bit into it! #burpple
I went there for their Afternoon Tea set though, and was wow-ed by the exquisite selection prepared for us. At $52++ per person, it's a tad on the high side, but the amount of thought put into the set was evident in the construction of each item. A tea pairing I would recommend is The ATLAS Art Deco Blend, a fine black tea incorporating dry gin botanicals, with added elderflower and yuzu. #burpple #afternoontea #hightea
Thanks to these add-ons, the small bowl ($11.90 for 75g #poké) was sufficient for me 👍🏼 #burpple #xuannyeatsclean
Never knew of this famous #yakitori place till today and it just amazed me with its value-for-money set lunch! For $13.80, you get 5 of their signature yakitori (quails eggs, chicken & leek, bacon-wrapped asparagus, meatballs and minced meat wrapped in shiso leaf) with rice, grilled mushrooms (which were so juicy and delicious btw) and minced meat on rice which kinda reminded me of Taiwanese 卤肉饭. You even get a bowl of miso soup and an azuki red bean dessert on the side! Now if this is not the most affordable, filling and TASTY lunch, I don't know what is! #burpple #japanese #bento
