Expect unpretentious and hearty European food at this hawker-bar run by chefs Enoch Teo and Immanuel Tee — it also champions social change by hiring young ex-offenders and youths at risk. Previously a troubled teen with brushes with the law, chef Teo was given an opportunity by his chef mentors and he wants to return the favour to as many people he can; to date, about 20 beneficiaries have gone through the training programme. Social mission aside, let's not forget that the food here is really good. Start with either the French Onion Soup ($7.90) that comes baked with cheese croutons, or the Black Miso Foie Gras ($16.50), an imaginative appetiser of foie gras coated in a black miso and furikake crust, then move on to their signature 12-Hour Belly of Pork ($16.90) — this highly rated main by the Burpple community sees crisp-skin pork belly served with mashed potato and a balsamic glaze. They also do a pretty tasty French Duck Leg Confit ($16.90).
Avg price: $20 per person
