The curry is light with plenty of spices and a subtle beefy flavour. The star anise is especially pungent. Featuring three slices of beef that were tender. The yellow noodles were good - very smooth and just glides down the throat. Don't think it is worth it for $9 though.
Life is a bed of ro..ast beef. Roast beef festival featuring this roast beef don for only $18.80++ . A mountain of tender roast beef, served with poached egg (yolk was sadly thoroughly cooked) and plump Japanese rice hidden beneath, soaking up the homemade sauce. Roast beef wasn't very hot so we grilled them on the side with butter as we ordered additional meat and veg to grill and it was absolutely tasty. What made this dish complete was the wasabi mayo dip on the side that we couldn't stop dipping everything into!
Delicious fried soft shell crab which had plenty of roe! Chunks of crab meat thrown in as well. The cheese was amazing but the rice was a letdown as it was a bit grainy. For the portion, it's pretty worth it at $25++.
Fresh seafood with an array of prawns, squids, mussels and tempura white bait. The prawns were a bit overcooked though, being slightly tough. The squid ink pasta was rather bland, but was saved by the bird chillies and tempura which brought the dish to life. Get this if you are in the mood for something light. Priced at $25++.
Thin and crispy crust! The tomato sauce based Dangerous Diego with chorizo and red bell peppers was pretty good, though slightly salty. The Buffalo Bill I didn't enjoy as much. On paper it sounds good - chipotle chicken with a blend of mozzarella, blue cheese and Parmesan. However, the slight acidity from the zesty buffalo sauce coupled with the pungent and frankly, quite cheap tasting cheese, wasn't pleasant.

Let's imagine you order a dish named 'Korean Ice Kachang'. What arrives looks undeniably like the ice kachang we know and love - red beans, atap chee, pandan jelly, various colourful syrups - but when your spoon cuts into the icy mountain you discover it is snowy and fine...like bingsu ice. Should you approach the dish as (a) a Korean bingsu with ice kachang toppings or (b) a Singaporean ice kachang with bingsu-style shaved ice? It is an important question, because your overall impression of the dish would vary based on your fundamental concept of what the dish is.

This beautiful creation at the newly-launched Ninja Cut is described as a matcha 'hotcake' on the menu, but is categorically classified and referenced as a molten lava (pan)cake in most people's comments about it, mine included. Does the menu description exceedingly set up people for a pancake-y experience? Are the italics and inverted commas sufficient in informing the average customer that this ain't your classic hotcake? Are seals cuter than polar bears? Vital, vital talking points, these.
Chicken was tender but the darker meat was a little bloody around the bones. A bit under-seasoned, but the accompanying Thai chilli dip was superb! Fries were good and crispy. Priced at $16+.
Stir fried lamp chop with tenderised and well marinated meat. The tart blueberry sauce was quite enjoyable with the lamb. Choice of cous cous or fries, chose the former which had an oriental flair with dang gui and wolf berries which was interesting! Priced at $20+.
Waffles here are on the sweeter side, with a dense texture quite like pancakes. Got the safe ice cream flavours chocolate and coffee latte. You might want to try the flavours before buying. The type of ice cream here is more suited for pacifying kids. Not so ideal if you wanna impress your date. Double scoops with waffles was $12.
The burger patty is made of crab and seafood, kind of reminiscent of nonya otah, which I adore. Yuzu coleslaw brought a refreshing zest to the burger. The thick cut fries were crispy and full of potato!
The seasoning of the chicken is spot on - classic blend of five spice which brought an oriental flair. Like Peking duck, the skin is wonderfully crisp and flavourful. Unfortunately, the meat was a little dry. The smoked ginger plum sauce helped in bringing a pleasant sweetness that tied well with the chive waffles!
Steak was a bit under seasoned with uneven doneness, but a good cut of beef nonetheless. The mash potato and foie chawanmushi was good! The dish comes with king oyster mushroom and black fungus so you get a balanced meal. And to make it more luxurious, 5g of Italian black truffles!
