Restaurant To Try Out :)

This cool, cosy, quiet bistro serves up incredibly affordable Western fare in a lovely setting, with main courses priced between just $8 and $12. As their name suggests, the German Pork Knuckle ($10) is their signature and a definite must-try. It is served already de-boned, with sides of sauerkraut and mash. It's tough to find pork knuckles this affordable, of good quality, no less. Other recommended mains include the Rib-eye Steak ($12) and the Grilled Chicken Chop ($8). Don't have the stomach for a full meal? Hop in for some cold ciders and a basket of Truffle Fries ($6) to share. All prices are NETT!

From the people behind Thai Boat Noodle at Bedok Point comes another Thai concept, Tuk Tuk Cha, known for their Thai milk tea drinks and savoury desserts such as Tom Yum Toast ($2.50) and Mango Sticky Rice ($6). Go for their Thai Green Milk Tea ($2.80 for regular, $3.20 for large) and their oh-so-crispy, air-fried Golden Toast ($3) which comes with dips such as Thai tea kaya, taro kaya and condensed milk with Milo, available for an additional $0.80 per dip. Interesting fact: there is an actual tuk-tuk (auto rickshaw) parked inside for your seating pleasure!

Located along the bustling Craig Road is Korean street food concept, Twins Chicken. Ladies would be pleased to know that their food is cooked by not one, but two good looking Korean twin brothers — SungJae and WooJae. Their Yang Nyum Chicken ($15 for 10 pieces) is well-coated with an addictively spicy, sweet sauce that is bound to capture your heart. For a hearty meal, go for the rich Spicy Seafood Noodles Soup ($16.90) laden with a generous portion of seafood.

Other than the steamboat which also comes with a clear broth, the restaurant also sells noodles. •

Chicken satay patties sandwiched between 2 handmade rice 'buns'. Served with a side salad of shredded onion, cucumber & chilli as well as a small pitcher of aromatic chunky peanut sauce.
Marinated for 24 hours with 10 fresh spices (lemongrass, turmeric, ginger to name a few), the succulent chicken patty was tender & flavourful.
Drawing inspiration from Japanese rice burgers & Asian oyster omelette (orh luak), the rice patties were slightly crisp on the outside, chewy inside and made from scratch using 2 types of rice plus a natural binding agent (starch) so that it won't fall apart easily.
What's a satay burger without peanut sauce? The chunky peanut sauce was aromatic & not too sweet.

The different components of the burger blended harmoniously, resulting in a burger that was robust in flavour and with a satisfying bite. It's no surprise this burger won our votes.

Sweet dreams, everyone. I hope the long weekend has treated you well. May the week ahead go easy on you. If it doesn't, just remember that candied bacon, fudgey chocolate brownie and ice cream will always be there for you; consume together for maximum effect.

Pluck's $13++ lunch sets are so impossibly value-for-money, especially when you have options like this beef burger that's made entirely from scratch, from the brioche buns to the double patties to the barbecue sauce. The only thing they don't make is probably the cheese that's gloriously oozy and gooey and melted all over the juicy minced beef.
