I found out about @quentinssg years ago when I was searching for an Eurasian restaurant in Singapore, and was blown away by how (surprisingly) tasty the food was. I distinctly remember having their Oxtail Stew for the first time back then and loving it so much, and I’m pleased to report that it’s still as good as ever 🤪

I tried out the Prawn Bostador ($20.80) as well. With fresh plump prawns swimming in a coconut-based gravy, it kind of reminded me of our local laksa (without the spice). Also another yummy dish!

Anyway, they’re now on @burpple with 1-1 deals and it’s so ridiculously affordable 😬 Definitely recommend heading down if you’re looking to try out a unique cuisine in Singapore.

We pre-ordered @starterlab.sg awhile back when Phase 2 had first started! We got their open-faced posh toasts and sandwiches to go for a weekend brunch!

First up we had the 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐞, 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐧𝐮𝐭 & 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 (𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲) $𝟏𝟒, which was generously lathered spread on the toast. The drizzle of honey really brought out the mascarpone, which was light and creamy. We really enjoyed the contrast in flavours and gobbled it up super quickly hehe. 😋

Next, we had the 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐋𝐀𝐁 𝟑 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐬𝐞 (𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲) $𝟏𝟗. Stuffed thick with 3 different cheeses (swipe to the last pic for the cross section), this was one of the best grilled cheeses we had!

Overall, we really enjoyed the toasts but… the price tag was a biiiiit steep. Is it really worth paying $19 for a grilled cheese? #lifequestions I guess we might return if we’re craving their sandwiches.

Went to check out Izy Fook a while back since they were on #BurppleBeyond! I must say that the service was great and our service staff was extremely attentive and friendly throughout the meal 🤩

First up, we had the 𝐓𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐧 𝐑𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧 ($25) which came with a tiger prawn, roast pork belly and an ajitama egg. The noodles were cooked al dente, retaining its bouncy feel and the prawn broth was so good to slurp up! 😋Honestly, it felt like an atas bowl of prawn noodles. 😅

Our other dish was the 𝐖𝐚𝐠𝐲𝐮 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐥𝐞 𝐃𝐨𝐧 ($34) which came topped with truffle shavings and slices of marinated wagyu. We did wish that they could have been more generous with the portion as it was a pretty small serving overall.

We made it down to the newly opened French Fold by @mercimarcel yesterday after seeing their galettes splashed across our feed for the last week! We have to say that their service was absolutely amazing and attentive, with the food coming within 5-10 minutes after ordering.

First up, we had one of their bestsellers: 𝐍𝐨. 𝟎𝟒 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞 made with chiffonade of ham, organic egg sunny side up, over sautéed mushrooms and Comté cheese. I’m not sure if it was just ours, but for a bestseller we felt like it fell flat. The dough had a slightly charred taste to it and the medley of ingredients was overpowered, it just didn’t seem to shine through as much as we had hoped.

Next, we had the 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐬 made of buckwheat flour, with Fourme d’Ambert cheese, honey and walnut encased within. Cut into eight bite-sized pieces, this was perfect for sharing and we loved the drizzle of honey that helped to enhance the delicate flavour of the cheese.

Lastly, we had their 𝐑𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐞 with raspberry jam, fresh berries and strawberry basil ice cream from Birds of Paradise! Easily the star of the meal, we loved how chewy and doughy the texture was. Paired perfectly with the rest of the ingredients, this was one dish we would order again and again.

Although the service was impressive for a newly opened restaurant (with it seemingly running at perfect efficiency), the taste left much more to be improved upon sadly. We felt like we were brought to opposite ends of the spectrum, with a disappointing start to the meal but an excellent end to it 😂

Popped by Scaled a while back, and suffice to say it was one of the best meals we had in our entire lives. We always joke that we’re almost pescatarians cuz we would choose seafood over meat anytime! And boy oh boy, we haven’t had seafood so fresh and well executed in such a long time.

First, we had the 𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐧𝐬 ($17) which were topped with seaweed butter and braised kelp. They were bursting with flavour, with the seaweed butter melting delightfully and making it an absolutely scrumptious dish. Probably the only gripe we had was that some of the prawns were a bit hard to eat, with the meat sticking to the shells.

The other side we ordered were the 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐬 ($16), doused in homemade curry and topped with fried mantou. We felt like this was a perfect pairing, as the curry covered any brininess from the mussels. Psst, the mantous are also free flow if you want more.

Moving on to the mains, we had the 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫 ($27) in cantonese style broth, with sweet potato noodles and lala. This was one of my personal favourites, as I LOVE eating fish cooked the Cantonese way and always order it during zhichar. As the grouper here was roasted instead of steamed, I loved how crispy the skin remained even after dunking it in the broth. The broth is also soya-sauce based, and could get slightly salty but the sweet potato noodles paired really well with it.

Lastly, we had the 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐚 ($23) which featured nori cream tagliatelle, topped with pickled radishes and tobikko. Wow, every bite of this dish was just bursting with flavour and the adding of pickled radishes helped to balance it out when the dish got too overwhelming. Definitely a must-order!

located conveniently within the SMU campus, I’ve seen Onalu appear on my IG feed a couple of times, with their delicious looking bagels 😍 it was no wonder that I had to pop by on a weekend afternoon to grab some of these bagels for myself.

we ordered 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓑𝓲𝓰 𝓑𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝓯𝓪𝓼𝓽 ($14) and it was generously stuffed with bacon streaks, honey baked ham, hash brown, scrambled eggs, and cheddar & Monterey Jack cheese as well as their secret sauce.

however, when we took our first bite the combination struck us as weird, and it went downhill from there. the bagel was soaked in some sort of sweet tasting maple syrup and the ingredients just didn’t meld well together. the hash brown was also cold and soggy and tasted like it had been left out a long time. overall, it felt like it was a more expensive rendition of McGriddles but.. well we’ll stick with the OG.
