NO MORE BURPPLE 1-1!!!! PSA: they don’t accept burpple beyond anymore so don’t get scammed like me 🥲 chirashi bowl was good nonetheless just a little on the pricier side!

Who doesn’t love chirashi? Visited the newly opened Xchange Chirashi at Bijou. The chirashi is pretty decent esp with 1-for-1 deals (but definitely wasn’t anything spectacular). However, I did like the fact that parking was really easy and that you can order from the surrounding restaurants and bars as well (something for everyone!). It was pretty empty on a weekday night so getting a table isn’t an issue as well.

Chirashi Don Ordered the Burpple 1-for-1 Chirashi Don($26.90). Sashimi slices were decent but portion is small.

food ok service 🤢 we got the peppa piglet & crommyonian sow pasta! peppa piglet is essentially cajun pork chop w sweet potato fries (pork was tough and portion was small but at least the pork was well seasoned! + sweet potato fries were actly damn nice and it was rly sweet <3) the pasta was aight i think the pork lard was eh ??? pasta was surprisingly light tho not too jelak … but ok we went ard 3pm on saturday there was like literally nobody yay but customer service isn’t the best … staff there like quite cold to u which is q a turnoff for me …

Disappointing Experience I saw other reviews raving about the pork chop but I think it wasn’t good. 1) it was so so so small and thin. I was shocked! 2) meat was hard and had no pork taste 3) it was salty for me La la pasta was okay but not fantastic. Thankfully I used Burpple, but honestly it was one of my worst Burpple experience

Lousy service and meal The food was so disappointing. We ordered pork chop (hard and small, different from the menu), crab pasta, Tom yum pasta, prawn paste chicken (small), cheese sticks, Thai Pandan chicken ( small and slightly undercooked and doesn’t even taste slightly like Thai Pandan chicken). Even though I had the 1-1 burrple deal, I was unable to use it as they mentioned that as they were full and we can’t use it. Shortly after we finished our sides, the waiter came to us with the bill without us asking for it. He told us that as someone else wants the table, and we would need to vacate the table becoz we were not ordering anymore. So I asked if I were to order something I can stay? He said yes… I mean… we ordered much more food than other tables that just ordered drinks and he just chase us out. I wouldn’t come back again even I can use the 1-1 deal. Overall, i would rate 1/10 for this place and food.

Restaurant is no longer around Restaurant is no longer around

Burratina Orriechiete Delicious! Portions were good (not too large). I really appreciate their service staff. For this pasta 1-1, we also tried Carbona - it was very creamy and delicious, nice bacon. Easy to make reservations through Burrple/Chope.

Pizza Pancetta E Jalapeno $30++ My favourite pizza because I absolutely love anything with bacon and cheese! What’s even better was the white cream sauce they use instead of tomato sauce as the base sauce for the pizza, which gave the pizza the creamy and cheesy boost on top of the cheese toppings and made the whole pizza so flavourful with the bacon and the chewy pizza crust.

Mediocre food and poor service Got the burpple set ($79++). Overall, this place is overpriced and I am NEVER returning. Would not recommend this place to anyone. There are many other places with much better value, quality of food, and service. Service: Subpar at best. Initially there were problems with the app and the deal was shown as "Not Available". When we checked with the waiter, the response we got was quite defensive and he emphasized on how it was not their issue, but an issue with Burpple's system. Understand that it is not the fault of the restaurant, but felt like it could have been handled better - perhaps handling it in a less defensive tone (pushing everything on Burpple). Apart from this, service was poor as the servers all felt very new/untrained. The same request had to be repeated several times (e.g. requesting for dessert 3x just to get it served). Items were also served up haphazardly with the mains coming before the sides. The service is, to put bluntly, damn poor for the prices being charged. If you are going to charge high prices and market yourself as a higher-end restaurant, then your service better live up to it as well. Otherwise, lower your prices. Food wise: - Appetisers (leek soup/bread dip): bread dip was not bad, the bread was soft and the dip was interesting. Soup was soso and nothing to rave about. - Sides (calamari/truffle fries):calamari was not bad, crispy. Truffle fries (replaced since tater tots OOS) was very BLAND. Truffle taste was so mild if you told me it was plain fries I'd have believed it. Even fries from McDonald taste better. - Mains (pork jowl/truffle chicken): pork jowl saved the day. It was tender and well seasoned. The chicken, though, was very very mediocre. Not tender and no truffle taste at all - have tasted better chicken chop from coffee shop Western stalls at less than a quarter of the price they charge here lol. In addition, the portions are damn small - if I came here and ordered ala carte and received this, I would be very upset. - Dessert (matcha churros/tiramisu): the other saviour of the day. Both tasted great, only gripe was how long it took them to serve it. Had to ask the servers 3x and waited quite a long time despite it not being a full house.

Wonderful experience at NY Verden We had a wonderful experience at NY Verden Bar and Grill with our Burpple 1 for 1 set meal. The staff were friendly, attentive and went the extra mile in serving and assisting us (we wanted hot water and one of the staff actually got the kitchen to boil some for us, and were obliging in preparing our takeaway orders for our leftovers). We ordered multiple set meals with the following: 1. Bread with hummus 2. Cream of Leek soup 3. Iberico Pork 4. Truffle chargrilled chicken 5. Truffle tatter tots 6. Calamari 7. Matcha churros 8. Tiramisu The cream of leek soup and Iberico pork deserves a special mention. The soup was creamy and flavorful whilst not being overpowering, and the perfect start to the meal. The Iberico pork was flavorful and extremely tender: in fact so tender that it fell apart on the fork. The thinner pieces were delicate and slightly overdone, but the thicker center cuts was nice and juicy, with a slight melt in the mouth texture. Calamari were perfectly fried with a nice crispy exterior and juicy squid rings. Some pieces were a tad too chewy though (being the tentacles of the squid). Nothing much to be said for the bread and tatter tots, though the tatter tots did lack the distinct aroma of truffle that i was hoping for. Would have been great if more truffle oil was used as it felt like regular tatter tots. The servings of sides and desserts were also pretty substantial, and we had to ask for takeaway for our leftover tatter tots and churros. Tiramisu was pretty hefty, but it was throughly enjoyable.

good food, good service! redeemed burpple 1-1 2x and had 4x of the 4 course meal!! starters bread and dip - hm didnt fancy this too much cos the bread was abit on the charred side and the dip wasnt the best but it was not bad! 3/10 roast leek soup - WAH I LOVE THIS!! its really very tasty and so good! and the addition of the ravioli was superb! 9/10 mains truffle smoked chicken - meat was soft and juicy!! but there was abit burnt taste to it and didnt rlly taste the truffle. but i really liked it still! 6/10 miso iberico pork - LOVE!!!! SO TENDER AND SOFT!!! yall really should try this man… 9/10 gnocchi cacio e pepe - i love this dish. such a simple dish yet prepared really well! 8/10 truffle mushroom pasta - sadly im not a big fan of this :”) 3.5/10 sides signature calamari - i love it! fried well!! dip that cane with it was very nice too 8.5/10 truffle pommes noisettes - its actually tater tots but truffle flavoured! 6/10 dessert tiramisu - made to near perfection 9/10 matcha churros - THEIR CHURROS ARE FRIED SO WELL MY GOSH!! cane w whipped cream on its side and it went well together! 9.9/10 😋 overall the service was really good too :)) the staff were very nice :D

gyudon - cheap and good got the basic gyudon with a soft boiled egg with the burpple deal! super affordable and portion size was sufficient for me but on the small side! love the crunch the tempura bits add, will recommend if you're in the area

Mentaiko Gyudon ($10.80) You can’t go wrong with mentaiko! A pretty simple gyudon but very tasty and satisfying for its price point with the Beyond 1-for-1 deal. Perfect for small to average eaters with its average serving size. Mentaiko was creamy and salty, going well with the beef and onions which were sweet and savoury. Most importantly, for me personally, the beef was moist - its juices made the rice flavourful, and not too plain or dry. I tend to find many rice bowls quite dry, and usually have issues finishing the rice, but it wasn’t a problem for this one (though to be fair the rice wasn’t much). I liked the combination of textures - creamy mentaiko, chewy beef and crunchy tenkasu, generously lying atop a scoop of fragrant Japanese rice. Overall a very satisfying meal - made even more affordable with the Beyond 1-for-1 deal. There’re actually waaaaaaaay (not an over-exaggeration really) more choices at the in-store menu than the ones on the Beyond menu, so do go down to the store to take a look at the options. We visited on a Saturday afternoon and easily got seats for the three of us - the top floor of the mall didn’t seem very populated at all when we went. The staff were friendly and helpful. Would come again with the deal. :)

Tobiko Gyudon ($10.80) Pretty simple gyudon but very tasty and satisfying for its price point with the Beyond 1-for-1 deal. Perfect for small to average eaters with its average serving size. Beef and onions were sweet and savoury. Most importantly, for me personally, it was moist - its juices made the rice flavourful, and not too plain or dry. I tend to find many rice bowls quite dry, and usually have issues finishing the rice, but it wasn’t a problem for this one (though to be fair the rice wasn’t much). I liked the contrast between the chewiness of the beef and the crunchiness of the tobiko and tenkasu. Overall a very satisfying meal - made even more affordable with the Beyond 1-for-1 deal. There’re actually waaaaaaaay (not an over-exaggeration really) more choices at the in-store menu than the ones on the Beyond menu, so do go down to the store to take a look at the options.

Chicken ala Carbonara Diced chicken cooked in creamy parmesan sauce. Pasta was al dente and chicken was juicy. Overal taste good, suitable for kids too. Do take note that portion is quite big.

Squid Ink Pasta Squid ink curry pasta looks decent but delicious! May not see any chilli but it is very spicy. Nevertheless you can still taste the squid ink eventhough it is spicy. Damn good, highly recommended. Quite big portion.

Oven Baked Bone Marrow Bone marrow topped with caviar and garlic bread by the side. First time trying the caviar was a little salty. But great combination of eating the garlic bread with bone marrow.

Chicken Gyoza ($9.90++) The second time I make a decision to dine at a Burpplebeyond establishment and the food takes >20 minutes; I am slightly scarred. Thankfully the Japanese food was decent and the beyond set would suit a dinner for drinks more with a total of 4 highballs served (2 for 2). I liked our ala carte order of squid over the kurobuta pork. As for the gyozas, they were good but I couldn’t guess if the chicken filling was in-house made on the most probably ordered/store bought dumpling skin.

Hokkaido Squid Teriyaki ($22.90++) The second time I make a decision to dine at a Burpplebeyond establishment and the food takes >20 minutes; I am slightly scarred. Thankfully the Japanese food was decent and the beyond set would be suit a dinner for drinks more when you’d get a total of 4 highballs (2 for 2).

Charlotte Cake 🍰 Charlotte Cake 📍Dolç Patisserie (@dolcpatisserie) 📌 Outram Park 💰 $9.50 This cake is filled with mascarpone mousse, basil sponge and strawberry compote. I was the most surprised at the addition of basil, but surprisingly, it works insanely well together with the strawberry elements. The mascarpone is light and creamy while the strawberry is sweet and tangy. The herbiness of the basil balances out everything nicely, and generally, this is a really impressive cake! ⭐ Rating: 9/10 🤑 worth the price: a lil pricey but v nice 🦖 would I buy again: maybe 💍 would I marry: yesssss

Pesto chicken Pesto sauce was super flavourful! Chicken breast was not too dry either. This dish usually comes with chips as a side but I opted for their salad cos I love the sauce it comes with.

Secret Gem So pretty looking that you can't bear to bite it. Nice place to chill

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.

Chocolate Croissant A takeaway kiosk at the basement of 313@Somerset, selling their signature croissants in different flavours. I enjoyed their chocolate flavour, it remain fluffy with chocolate fillings inside and outside as well.

Average Crossiant Used the 2 crossiants deal (1 for 1) - 4 crossiants in total for $7.80. Can only order 2 of the same flavour (which wasnt written in the t&c). Chocolate had nice filling inside.

Chocolate croissant Saw quite a few reviews saying that the croissants aren’t that good but I think it’s not bad! Toasted it so it was warm and pretty nice. Love how they have chocolate filling in it too
