This festive season, another @milksha_sg store has opened! This new store is located at B1 of Funan! Yes, you read that right, they have another outlet located within the same building! 🙌🏼 You’d now be able to get the full range of Milksha drinks, as compared to the limited offerings in the food truck on Level 2. They will also be converting the Level 2 food truck to a Milksha ice cream truck instead!

Apart from that, get your hands on the new cocoa beverages, such as the Ice Blended Cocoa ($4.80), pictured above, or the Ice Blended Cocoa Mint ($5)! What I love the most about this new drink is that they’ve added in cocoa nibs into it, allowing you to get bits of cocoa nibs with every mouthful! This drink is only available throughout the month of December, so wait no longer!

As it’s the festive season, Milksha will also be lining up 12 days of Christmas between 14 to 25 Dec! Try your hand on a sure-win lucky pick with every purchase of 2 drinks in a single receipt; or get your limited Christmas edition reusable cup sleeves with every drink purchase (while stocks lasts!). Special thanks to @brandcellar for having me! x

Guess what, everything looked amazing!! Especially their array of bombolini 😍 I had the urge to order everything but for $2.50 a pop, I had to control myself.

For a box of 6 ($14), we ordered an array of flavours such as Nutella, PBJ, Pistachio Ganache, Lemon Cream Cheese & the classic Cinnamon Sugar doughnut.

The pieces I tried were the Nutella & PBJ & both we’re equally good!! The bombolini were filled with the sauces right to the middle, giving you explosions of filling with every bite!

The creamy & nutty Nutella was rich & generous, while the combination of nutty & sweet sour jam of the PBJ made you want to dive in for another bite!

Definitely a place to check out while you’re in the area having a meal, or two at the Whampoa Market!

A Gan Guo Kui 阿甘锅盔 (@aganguokui), originates from Hubei, China and uses the traditional method of baking through a charcoal heated clay oven, which kinda looks like a tandoori oven, till it’s golden brown & crispy!
.
We tried the Spicy Beef 香辣牛锅盔 ($3.30) which suggested by the cashier & boy was that a good choice! The flat bread was fresh out of the oven when we ordered it, and came golden brown with slightly charred rims.
.
It was not only aromatic but tasted equally great as well! The spicy beef option comes with shredded pieces of beef, which is kneaded into the dough before being baked. Would definitely head back to try the other flavours when I can! It’s a perfect snack, or meal even if you’re not hungry!

Serving up autumn seasonal special kushikatsu is @kkt.sg! Apart from that, they have autumn-inspired appetisers & drinks to compliment the new items!
.
One of my favourites was the Surume Ika Butter Yaki ($8) aka Miso Butter Squid! Sliced & pan-fried is cooked in miso butter which perfectly coats every single piece, which is amazing!
.
For the kushikatsu, my fav would be the Bacon Mochi Kushikatsu ($2/stick)! Think juicy savoury fatty bacon, wrapped around a soft & chewy mochi & keep fried. The combination makes it an addictive pop of flavour!
.
Head down soon as these items will only be available till mid-December!
.
Thank you @brandcellar for the invite! ✨

They pride themselves with using only charcoal to roast their meats, which the owner learned from a shifu from Hong Kong.
.
Their spread consists of your usual suspects of char siew, roasted pork (siew yoke), together with soy sauce chicken and roasted duck! Every piece of meat was extremely tender & juicy, especially the soy sauce chicken & roasted duck!
.
If you’re not too much of a fan of the herbal roasted duck, their version would be perfect for you with it’s subtle hints of herbs, without being too overpowering!
.
Do note that as they have limited portions, the store closes once they sell out, which is usually around 3pm in the afternoon!
.
Thank you @jthejon for the kind invitation! 🤤

This photo probably doesn’t do justice to these desserts but this my friends, made the perfect ending to a super hearty meal!

Featured is the Homemade Lemon Meringue Tart ($7) & in the background, Smoked Peanut Butter Chocolate ($4).

First, about the lemon meringue tart; thick lemon curd is layered on perfectly baked crust before being topped with fresh meringue & torched upon order! The ratio of meringue, curd & tart was just right! Only wished the curd was a lil more tangy tho, otherwise, all’s good!

As for the chocolates, please don’t doubt it’s appearance. It’s like 2 flavourful pops of peanut butter (think Reese but x10 flavour). Sprinkled with a pinch of sea salt each, the pop of chocolate was the perfect sweet savoury ending I needed.

P/S; thanks to #burpplebeyond, I managed to get this 1 for 1, as part of the Main & Dessert combo!! 🥳🥳

.
Grab yourself an array of mango parfaits ranging for the Signature Maxi Mango ($4.90 8oz / $6.90 12oz), to a Singapore exclusive Mango Coconut!
.
My personal fav is the Mango Graham! Apart from layers of mango soft serve & juicy bits of mango, you also get crumbs of graham crackers which gives you that extra texture to your smooooth soft serve.
.
Get your hands on these are their first & only store, located at @capitolsingapore!

Thank you @brandcellar for the lovely invite!

We enjoyed our Golden Chicken Soup & Stewed Marinated Beef with Spicy Soup, which is a twist from your typical collagen or pork & mala soups. Each soup base comes jam packed with ingredients such as shimeji mushrooms, radish & beef tendon, which leaves you with not much of room to order other dishes.
.
However, if you have a huge appetite, enjoy the different sides & premium meats that they offer! My personal favourite would be the Eight-Seconds Beef (image 7), thinly sliced NZ beef which only takes 8 seconds to cook! Or go for the Vince Tofu, thinly sliced tofu that creates a floral effect when soup is poured over it!
.
From now till 14 Sep, share your images on FB & IG to get 12% off all hotpot ingredients immediately upon payment! Remember to tag them & hashtag!
.
Promotions are also happening after 8pm!
• 1 for 1 US Premium Beef and/or Jap Black Pork
• 1 for 1 soup bases (limited to certain soups)
• buy 3 get 1 free snow beer
Don’t say I bojio!

Thanks to #burpplebeyond, I managed to get these delicious & fresh sashimi bowls for half the price!
.
We ordered the Salmon Ikura Don ($25), Aburi Scallop Salmon Don ($17) & Aburi Scallop Mekaijiki Don ($24) to share!
.
Each bowl comes with a bowl of warm Japanese rice, mixed with a light dose of vinegar, before being topped with fresh sashimi. The ikura was like little pops of saltiness from the sea, mixed together with the sourness of the ice and freshness of the Salmon works perfectly together.
.
Alternatively, the Aburi Scallop and Salmon is a perfect alternative if raw fish is not your thing. The torched seafood comes with bits of black truffle, topped with truffle oil. This brings out the aroma of the oil, and just made the don a whole lot tastier!

Psst, @burpple’s having a crazy promo right now to celebrate #BeyondTurnsOne! Check their page for more!

Over the weekend, I had the honour & luxury to be able to try out re-invented creations by the smart chefs of @lune_3.0 in their collaboration with @amberembersg!

Each dish was a take on the revolving theme of 米 (rice in mandarin), and how it originated and what inspired them to make each dish.

One of the highlights from the 7 course menu would be their Quail & Yam dish! Quail is done 2 ways - braised and pan-seared, paired with a red wine jus, together with a yam & sweet potato purée, coasted with rice vermicelli, resembling the crispy yam ring that you’d get when you dine at Chinese restaurants!

The quail was flavoured perfectly and was tender even though it was lean. My fav part of the dish would actually be the yam & sweet potato crispy. The sweetness of the sweet potato paired so well with the hint of bitterness of the yam; and binding them both together is the deep fried crispy rice vermicelli which added the additional crunch to this dish, elevating it another notch.

Flip through to see more of these amazing dishes that were created, which will be shared more on Burpple! In the meantime, if you’re keen to tryout their creations, do check out their Instagram account @lune_3.0, & make your reservations for the upcoming weekends in Aug! Do note that the themes vary week on week so you’d definitely be in for a surprise!

Psssst, I heard the upcoming one is on Fermentation!!

Thank you @clarenceliewoliveiro for the invite & the amazing team behind it!

Made it down to @funansg after all the hype & I must say, the changes are so major, I almost forgot what the old Funan looked like!

Apart was all the high tech & neon signages, Funan now has tons of food choices from ramen spaces like @afurisg to dessert stores like @butterknifefolk!

For all you gelato fans, this is another great choice for you! Get your hands on favourites such as their Fudgy Chocolate or unique ones like Pu Er. Get a scoop for $5, or double scoop for $9 (ahem, also more worth it). I heard their flavours change daily, so you’d always be in for a treat!
