Had the prawn mentaiko pasta, plus the cauliflower side and the ribs. We went there wanting to utilise the Burpple deal but were told that all the mains we wanted were excluded from the deal. A bit of a downer, seeing as there aren’t many dishes on the mains and pasta list to begin with.
Nonetheless the food was still good and worth a try - hopefully it’ll be included in the Burpple deal next time though
We utilised the 1for1 and the Waitress didn’t sound happy about that, then abruptly told us to cancel our Chope reservation so they wouldn’t be charged. Not a request and no “please” or “thank you”. We didn’t feel good dining there tbh and decided we wouldn’t come back before even having tried the food.
Do take note their menu is different from the one listed on Burpple, some items have been taken off or replaced. We left with our food half eaten but I shan’t comment further since our tastebuds could already have been skewed by the not very pleasant experience.
Catch of the Day ($18 before GST) - pan seared fish with house special sauce and fermented yuzu chilli on the side. Fish was nice and tender, sauce was sweet and creamy. The chilli came in such a tiny dot on the plate that I almost missed it out - but it was strong and flavourful, a pity that I couldn’t taste the Yuzu in it.
My folks and I loved the Lemongrass Pork Belly ($22) - the pork belly was grilled to perfection, and went very well with the sauce. The Watermelon Salad was a refreshing accompaniment. A great deal with Burpple 1-for-1. Service was good as well.
Only thing I didn’t like was that the water here is $0.50 and non-refillable, but it’s not a huge issue.
The wait was long but entirely worth it for these extremely succulent and fatty strips of smoky char-grilled pork belly infused with the refreshing fragrance of lemongrass. @chaota_grill is worth visiting even solely just for this mouthwatering showstopper.
Taste: 4/5
I've learnt to take it with a pinch of salt when i see "Carbonara" on a menu here in Singapore, because more often than not, it isn't. What this is though, is a perfectly fine rendition of spaghetti in a white wine and cream sauce with bacon and Parmesan. The pasta could have been more al-dente, but we still enjoyed it.
