would recommend the crazy carbonara: alfredo sauce, smoked duck, sous vide egg ($15.90) + add on truffle pate ($3) or pink sauce (alfredo + promodoro)
very reasonably priced for its quality and the substantial portions. this place is highly popular for good reason and i’ll definitely be returning frequently.
chef joel’s mee kia x2
homemade iced barley x2
(~$19.60 in total using the burpple 1-for-1 deal)
this mee kia made for an indulgent meal with the truffle sous vide egg, crab meat and a generous serving of nicely charred pork cheek that it came with. the truffle egg mixed into the noodles added a nice touch to the umami sauce 🥺 price-wise, this was reasonable with the burpple deal.
(sorry for the poorly taken picture, we sat outside at night so it was too dark for a good shot!!)
artisanal manuka honey, roasted buckwheat seeds, Birds of Paradise’s hojicha seasalt ice cream ($10)
my friend enjoyed this but i found it rather forgettable. i appreciated the addition of the crunchy buckwheat seeds, which provided a welcomed textural contrast to the crêpe and ice cream. that said, i’d say skip this and try the other crêpes or savoury galettes!!
reblochon cheese, organic bayonnic ham, baby potatoes, pancetta, white wine pickled onions ($19)
my first time trying galettes and this didn’t disappoint!! loved the fragrance and slightly crispy texture of the galette. it was also impressively served hot in less than 5 minutes upon ordering. loved that the place was cosy with gorgeous decor too. would definitely revisit to try the other galettes, after booking a reservation online to avoid queueing (we had to wait for 40 minutes without booking a reservation... but it was a good excuse to explore the neighbourhood in the meantime)
half buttermilk waffle with pistachio gelato
half buttermilk waffle with creme brûlée gelato
($12.90 in total using burpple 1-for-1 deal, both are premium flavours)
waffles were well executed - slightly crispy exterior, soft and fluffy on the inside and lightly sprinkled with some sea salt 🥺 possibly the best waffles i’ve tried. it paired very well with the golden syrup on the side which was not too sweet. the gelato was also decent. overall worth every cent!!
