For fans of Tanuki Raw’s Truffle Yakiniku, the Gyudon by 2Six Cafe is a close, more tummy-filling alternative that is located in the neighbourhood for Easties 🍽.

Not only is the beef grilled to a perfect medium, it is also perfectly seasoned with pepper and salt🧂 which goes really well with their Japanese rice 🍚. In addition, their menu is a mix of both Western 🍔 and Japanese 🍱 cuisine so you can also consider trying out their Supreme BBQ Burger (which their staff mentioned that the portion was “just nice” for guys and might be “too much” for girls).

My friend and I also got the tea and ice chocolate whereby the tea was great (they even allowed up to 3 refills for free 👍) but the ice chocolate was so-so. As we got the Burpple Beyond set that included the crepe cake 🍰, I got the Strawberry flavour 🍓 while my friend got the Earl Grey ☕️one. As of this review, I had not yet tried the strawberry one as I brought it home as takeaway, but the Earl Grey crepe cake was quite disappointing 😢 for what seems to be one of their signature products like their Gyudon (which was amazing). To put it frankly, it tasted like Bengawan Solo’s kueh lapis filled with some artificial cream so I will advise to stay away from this 😅.

Other than that, this place is a great place for those who live in the East and do not want to travel to town as it offers a great choice of mostly delicious food which are reasonably priced 🎉. Not to mention, it has a chill environment with a decor which is really pleasing to the eye, really friendly staff (who went out of the way to even stop the tea from over-brewing so that we can taste it at its best 💯) and just an awesome place to talk with friends!

I will definitely revisit this place just for the Gyudon and drinks ☺️ Keep it up 2Six!

For those who want directions :
Take the Downtown Line to Tampines West Station (Exit B) 🚉 and take bus 18/28/59 🚍 from there to drop off at East Tampines Community Center bus stop (around 4-5 stops away). From there it is just a 5 min walk! 🚶🏻‍♂️
