One for one brunch! Wanted to try this place and we ordered the Turkish eggs and chicken wraps. Love the food, good Mediterranean food. Service was good too and there was complimentary water. Paid $19.80 for the two dishes which is very reasonable. Will come back again!

Build Your Own Bowl (Regular) Got to learn about the existence of Freya when we weee going around the Stanley Street area during lunch hours one day — turns out, these guys had just recently opened their doors during the same week. Taking the space of a ground level shophouse unit at 13 Stanley Street these folks are more of a gastro-bar that is described to serve up “Contemporary Mediterranean x Asian Cuisine” based on what is being described in their social media accounts. The facade of Freya does seem to be able to match up against the more fancier dining establishments that are located in the same stretch of shophouses where they are; the stone wall with gold accents definitely giving it a pretty luxe look from the outside. As one walks into the establishment, one can find a mix of high chairs and tables as well as proper dining furniture; each type of seating and furniture seemingly taking up a specific space within the dining establishment. The interior is set up in a way that does feel more for functional than for form; that being said, the addition of gold accents on its walls does help to give it a bit of a modern and contemporary look nonetheless. Whilst seemingly serving up sharing plates during dinners that would match up well with the alcoholic offerings, their lunch operations sees themselves being a “Build Your Own Bowl” concept almost similar to most salad / grain bowl-centric elements that are particularly popular in the Central Business District. This would be paired up with several types of beverages such as that of espresso-based specialty coffee and detox juice — just to name a few. The “Build Your Own Bowl” that is exclusively available during lunch hours at Freya is being offered in two (2) different sizes — there is the Regular which comes with 1 Base, 1 Side and 1 Main, and the Large on the other hand would come with 1 Base, 2 Sides and 1 Main. For our order, we went with the Regular, and have went with the Lemon Rice Pilaf, Cucumber with Chili Oil and Tahini Yogurt and the Chermoula Chicken for our choice of base, side and main respectively. Given how we had made our choices for the base, side and main, our bowl like one that leant closer towards the “Contemporary Mediterranean” part of the menu rather than the “Asian Cuisine” side — it is well noted that there are other choices for their mains such as the Lean Beef Rendang and Spicy Tempeh, as well as for the base such as the Tom Yum Noodles to choose from. Digging into our customised bowl, the Lemon Rice Pilaf is one that came with fluffy and with a distinct note of Mediterranean spices; one that is really easy to eat and perfumes subtly throughout the entire portion — the rice itself also coming with nibs of raisins to chew on that gave it an extra note of sweetness. The Chermoula Chicken was done to a consistency where the flesh is amazingly tender and falls off the bone easily without the use of a knife; the juices of the meat being locked within as well. The flavours of the Chermoula Chicken would definitely win the hearts of those whom love herb-y, pesto-esque notes — one that not only comes fairly refreshing and zippy, but is also incredibly easy to have and got us yearning for more as well. The Cucumber with Chili Oil and Tahini Yogurt on the other hand is probably the element that sees the most obvious fusion between Mediterranean and Asian cuisine; likely inspired by the Chinese Cucumber Salad and the Greek Tzatziki, it comes with that tangy and creamy note that one would usually expect out from the Tzatziki — the fact that this included a slight hint of spice and crispy crumbs together with the chili oil and how the cucumbers still come in distinct slices brought out the Asian character of the fusion altogether. With prices starting from $16.90 for the Build Your Own Bowl (Regular) — not forgetting that there are some choices of Mains where one would be required to make a top-up for, Freya’s Build Your Own Bowl offerings might be a little pricey for some. That being said, Freya’s Build Your Own Bowl offerings does provide a slightly more upmarket touch with Mediterranean flavours that distinguishes themselves from other establishments serving up grain / salad bowls in the Central Business District that is worth checking out for those whom are willing to spare

Disappointing cakes and tarts Newly opened Keong Saik Bakery right beside the Jewel self check--in counters. Spent quite a while waiting for a table as the store only occupied a small area and they don't have a max dining limit policy. Cactus ($8.80) : Matcha nama chocolate | Matcha mousse | Matcha cremeux | Matcha sponge | Chocolate crumble. Looked nice, but overall was expecting more. Needed something to balance out all the matcha-ness. Seashore ($8.80) : Sea salt butterfly pea mousse | butterfly pea whipped ganache | Earl grey cheesecake | Earl grey shortbread cookie base. Earl grey had a really artificial taste, bordering on a sourish tinge. The cheesecake texture was also very off-putting, more like a custard. Disappointed by the cakes we had, luckily in total this was just $10.55 thanks to Burpple.

seashore ($8.80) i thought it was q meh at the start but it slowly grew on me and tasted rly good by the end! v creamy and had a fragrant earl grey flavour with some saltiness

cactus ($8.80) this was so cute!! and from the cross section you already know it tastes good 😮‍💨 the matcha was v rich and all the layers went so well together, both in texture and in flavour. def would order again!

Pretty good food with a view! Never thought I would get good food from a themed cafe, but @actioncitycafe proved otherwise! The Flamed Kissed Grilled Steak ($24) was all in all pretty spectacular. Although the beef steak turned out cooked beyond the requested medium rare, it was surprisingly very tender and juicy. The knife cut through it really pretty easily! The herb butter on top made it even better by providing additional richness and garlic umami. However, I do hope that there was more of the beef flavour. Nonetheless, it was a pretty amazing steak! The Healthy Toasted Medley ($24) was equivalent to your full English breakfast but healthier, and it was pretty good too! The sourdough was well buttered and toasted without being too hard and the eggs were quite well cooked. Coffee here was also pretty decent! The Iced Latte ($6) was pretty fragrant and not acidic at all. The Iced Mocha ($7) was not too sweet and I could tell that quality chocolate was used. Definitely will be back 🥳

ac kafe 1 for 1, portion was big 👍🏻👍🏻 but food average 5/10, only worth with discount👍🏻👍🏻

Pasta de Cangrejo ($28) Tonito's pasta de cangrejo features squid ink pasta topped with crispy soft shell crab, breaded squid, charred tomato and finished with a dash of lime. The pairing of the subtly briny squid ink, deep fried seafood and a dash of tangy acidic lime went really well. Tonito's food can be a little hit and miss. I personally prefer their mexican selections (eg the tacos and quesidillla) over the Peruvian and Argentinian selections. Since our #eatup in December last year, Tonito has revamped and streamlined their menu so some of the featured dishes may no longer be available! Tonito is an excellent date location and has decent to good food. It's a tad pricey but do check out their #burpplebeyond deals! As usual, special thanks to the good folks from Tonito and Burpple for hosting us!

Mejillon Negra Tonito's Mejillon Negra features Chilean black mussels, chorizo and tiger prawns in a seafood bisque infused with Lustau dry sherry wine. I enjoyed the rich, creamy and savoury seafood bisque which has a nice hint of the spicy notes of the dry sherry wine. Some may find the dry sherry a little too crisp and tart for their liking but I'm perfectly fine wiping up the bisque with their mini baguettes!

Fish Tacos Some of my fellow #burpplers at the #eatup who have been to Tonito previously raved about their signature fish tacos and it was not hard to understand why. Crispy white fish is topped with tartar sauce and pico de gallo (a Mexican salsa) in a soft and fluffy flour tortilla wrap. I loved how the savoury and creamy tartar sauce combined with the sweet and tangy pico de gallo to elevate the subtly sweet and flaky white fish. It's delicious but $20 for 2 tacos is kinda a little too expensive for my tastebuds... Portions-wise, it was also rather small... A pity though that it doesn't fall under the #burpplebeyond deals...

Actual Burpple Offer Differed From The Description Thought it was "3 Eclairs for 3 Eclairs" (which was how it was like previously when I used it last year), but apparently they've an agreement with Burpple that said that it will be $33 (for a total of 6 eclairs). Though it's still slightly cheaper than the original price for 6, I still felt a bit cheated cos this was not stated anywhere. They should have stated this somewhere that it's no longer 3 for 3, but a box of 6 for $33. Apart from this, the eclairs tasted fresher and better than the previous time that I bought them.

eclairs pistachio was the best, followed by the salted caramel. strawberry was quite good too

Lovely eclairs Dropped by to buy it because of the beyond deal! Was worth it! Flavours in order of my personal recommendation: 1. Vanilla with caramelised pecans - The vanilla cream was so fragrant, and the pecans gave a very nice texture to the eclair 2. Dark chocolate - a classic, rich and not too sweet 3. Earl grey - definitely can taste legit earl grey, very fragrant but not too sweet 4. Salted caramel - a classic too, tasted like Garrett’s popcorn, was good but wasn’t that special

Fish with macadamia crust The fish was fresh and soft, and the crust complimented it really well! Really enjoyed this! We ordered 3 main dishes, and 2 desserts (so we could use a Burpple deal, and it was about $30/person) pretty worth it!

Keto Brownie This legit taste super super good, even on a normal brownie scale. The chocolate was fudgy but not sticky, and it wasn’t too sweet either which went very well with the ice cream! The other items on the menu also looked pretty good and decently priced for a restaurant with a nice ambiance! Would come back again to try their other food!

Plant based Crab pasta Again, taste exactly like crab! Pasta was decent.

Alter Mega Platter @$74 1) Grilled Ribeye 2) Grilled Lamb Cutlets 3) Pan-Seared Salmon 4) Tilapia 5) Squid Rings 6) Chicken Breasts 7) Mussels 8) Curly Fries 9) Salad Served with dipping sauces as well. This Alter Mega Platter stated for 3-4 pax. I think not.... this needs at least 6 pax to clear. Large portions for sure. Ribeye was a little chewy, but tasted good. Lambs were tender but a little gamey The other ingredients were all added fillers for this platter to make us full, they were all rather good, but don't expect it to be awesome. Alter Ego seems like a nice place for gatherings or even hold events like parties or corporate events even. The most popular items are their Pokebowls, which what I will have the next time I am here.

Spicy Chicken Pizza @$25 The spicy chicken pizza was explosively spicy, with the sprinkles of red chilli padi, this dish will smack your lips like a bag of chillis. Alter Ego seems like a nice place for gatherings or even hold events like parties or corporate events even. The most popular items are their Pokebowls, which what I will have the next time I am here.

Tuscan Shrimp Penne@$25 Penne pasta with shrimps, Spinach, garlic onion, Parmasan cheese etc. The shrimps were fresh. Dish was rather appetising. Not bad. Alter Ego seems like a nice place for gatherings or even hold events like parties or corporate events even. The most popular items are their Pokebowls, which what I will have the next time I am here.

Golden Salted Egg Spare Ribs The salted egg yolk sauce was creamy and umami and the taste of salted egg was definitely prominent.

1-For-1: Main Dish (Weekday) (save ~$20) With quality ingredients prepared traditionally, enjoy authentic ‘Wok Hei’ and ‘Tze Char’ in air-conditioned comfort in Wok Master's City Square Mall diner! We’d recommend their Honey Sambal Spare Ribs and Special Beancurd, try it out with Burpple Beyond’s 1-For-1: Main Dish deal~ Photo by Burppler The Hungry Fatty

Pork Belly with Red Fermented Beancurd I like to call Pork Belly with Red Beancurd (南乳炸肉), the porky equivalent of har cheong gai To create this dish, red fermented beancurd (紅腐乳) is used to marinade the pork belly, enhancing its flavours, tenderising the meat and adding additional moisture. It also serves to 'cure' the pork belly of its 'gamey' aftertaste. Red fermented beancurd which incorporates red yeast rice also gives this dish a distinctive deep red tinge, flavor punch and aroma. Wok Master's rendition of this dish was a little on the dry and tough side but still savoury!

1-for-1: Main Dish + Cocktail (save ~ $55) Head to The Telegraph by Olivia, conveniently located at Guoco Midtown, and indulge in our #BurppleBeyond 1-for-1 deals: Main Dish + Cocktail or Main Dish + Bar Bites. Don’t miss out on the Coconut Braised Beef Short Ribs, served with apricot and raisin pilaf, splashed with coconut gravy, and topped with house peri peri. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty meal or a casual bite, they’ve got you covered!

Good food at a good deal! Choose from your pick of burpple deals at this cafe bistro at the swanky new Guoco Midtown. We went with the Mains + Bar Bites combo, meaning from a selection we could get two sets of Mains + Bar Bites for the price of 1, worth! For Bar Bites, we got the Har Cheong Gai Winglets ($16.80) and Grilled Lamb Chops ($26.60). Winglets were crisp, juicer, but could use slight bit more intensity in flavour. Lamb chops came in such a large portion, but about a quarter of it were the fats haha! Otherwise, the lamb was grilled well and nicely seasoned, without the gamey taste but a tad too oily for my liking. As for the mains, we went with the Hokkaido Scallop Pesto ($24.80) and Miso Baked Salmon ($26.80). While the scallops weren't quite fresh the pesto pasta was quite addictive and paired nicely with the fusili. On the other hand, the baked salmon was a tad overcooked and underseasoned, with the only flavour being some kind of miso mayo squeezed on top of the salmon. At least marinate the salmon in miso! The saving grace was the mashed potatoes which was buttery and creamy. Overall, food was decent but there is room for improvement. Service given was also just passable. Ambience of the place was nice but somewhat stuffy and warm. But the burpple deal sweetened the meal, with the total for the 4 dishes plus a pint of beer coming up to just $76.

Dinner at the telegraph Wanted to try this place and enjoy the new guocco midtown. The pasta was ok, they gave quite a few scallops (more than I expected) I like the fried squid, portion size is quite big. The har Cheong gai chicken was a little too Chao da, could tell they over refried. But we paid around $70 for two mains and two pretty big sides & the place was nice and quiet But not sure if I will come again although.
