Checked out a new place for lunch and was pleased with the fresh and tasty Lebanese cuisine. The Mezze Platter ($25) features sprightly tabbouleh, creamy hummus, smoky babaganoush, a fatoush salad and crispy falafel. Simply perfect for sharing. Just order some pita bread (I think it's $4 for 2 pcs) and start wiping up everything with it. If you aren't into very firm, chewy and salty cheese, I suggest you skip the grilled haloumi. I don't mind it myself personally but the one at Artichoke is much, much better.

KEK’s Salted Egg Yolk Crab Spaghetti. The pasta are given a light toss and coated with grainy but not too cloying salted egg sauce, curry leaves and topped with salted egg soft shell crab.

This bowl simply turn the tables for fried food for me! Love it how non greasy and oily each piece is, locking in all the flavours the food originally have! The sweet, custardy pumpkin, fresh crunchy prawns, even the long beans are sweet and flavourful 🙀

Best thing of all? This bowl of fully filled tempuras will only set you back by $13.90, comes with a side of chawanmushi and miso soup (and fresh flow vegetable pickles) 😻 Can't believe it took me so Long to try this out!!

The best burrata! Chef placed it deftly on the grill to give it a slight char. Love it's milky taste and smooth texture.

Inspired by their love of simply good burgers and beer, Two Blur Guys has succeeded in providing exactly that. Go straight for their Prime Beef blurgur ($12.50) - a well-seasoned 100% US pure beef patty topped with a juicy portobello, fresh tomato, gruyere cheese, and homemade truffle mayo. Some might find the burger a little small, but there is nothing you won't mop up on this plate, including the sides of potato salad and a balsamic-dressed salad. They may call themselves Two Blur Guys, but when it comes to making affordable, tasty burgers - they seem to know what they're doing.

Because the prata here is so darn good, this humble stall commands a queue, especially on weekends. Everything is made from scratch using fresh, good quality ingredients, which is, sadly, not easy to find at prata stalls these days. Freshly made and fried, the prata here is crispy on the outside, chewy, buttery, very slightly sweet and most of all, not greasy. The kosong is good, but even better is their Coin Prata (essentially prata nuggets, 6 pieces for $3.50) — thicker, crispier, chewier, fluffier. Paired with curry that's spicier than the norm, this is one kickass breakfast. Besides prata, they also have nasi briyani, mee goreng, and the like.

You're not going to find your typical eggs ben for brunch here. Instead, expect to be surprised by unusual combinations like their Salted Egg Sweet Potato Fries ($12), which are great for sharing. Probably the most surprising is the Aburi Broccoli Salad ($12), a truly inspired dish of torched broccoli topped with shaved parmesan, cracked pappadum and coconut sugar. You wouldn't expect it to work, but it just does. For a hearty main, don't hesitate to order the Beef and Grains ($24), a Japanese-inspired dish that is all umami and super hearty. Finish off with the Banana Beignets, and if you'd like to go all out, have their Malted Pie Crust Shake ($9) as well ;)

Be swept back to the glorious days of old Hong Kong at Sum Yi Tai, a three-storey dining and drinking complex on Boon Tat Street which offers an interesting fusion of Chinese-Cantonese tapas and cocktails. Go for the Signature Golden Ginger Chips ($10), the umami-laden Claypot Rice with Chinese Sausage & Preserved Meat ($26 for 2), and the Vermicelli with Jumbo Head King Prawn ($32). The cocktails here are intriguingly named, and some even use Chinese ingredients in an unexpected way. Try the intriguing My Mistress' Cherry (bourbon, cherry liqueur, lime and bitters) or the Chinese Mojito (chrysanthemum rum). They also serve a selection of rice and noodle dishes for lunch on weekdays!

Sushi Kou serves both nigiri sushi and maki, and do both very well. Their produce is flown in from Tokyo, Kyoto and Hokkaido, so expect fresh, quality sushi. What draws customers back would probably be their affordable prices and great quality. Try their aburi sushi - the pieces of fish are so lightly seared that they just melt in your mouth. DIVINE. They are known for their affordable omakase sets too, if you don't feel like having sushi.

The Sushi Bar is known for two things: long queues and salmon aburi rolls. Their aburi rolls are topped with salmon and mentaiko mayo, and lightly seared with a blowtorch. To-die-for! Be sure to order the Chirashi Don, it doesn't get more value-for-money at $24, with such decadently thick cuts of sashimi! Be sure to make reservations.
