Savoury 🍝

.

When I’m around in the Suntec Area, Grillo’s will always be the first place to pop into my mind 💕
I absolutely adore the different textures in this bowl. The beef was succulent and nicely seasoned and cooked. The egg helped to bring the whole dish together and the frie garlic added an extra “umph” to the dish as it brought a crunchy texture! 🍚

For a quick and delicious lunch, head down to Park Bench Deli! The portion was generous and can be shared within two people! Taste-wise, the beef was tender and the bread was soft though I felt it could have a tad more cheese. 🧀

min. 2 baos (mix & match)

I really liked the salted egg chicken bao! The chicken was super crispy but moist on the inside, while the salted egg yolk sauce was flavorful and paired well with the chicken. I would definitely come back for this again!

The pulled pork bao was disappointing, however, and when it was presented on my table, it had a tad odd smell. The pork was dry and the coleslaw on top of the pork just didn't work and I ended up not finishing it.

They have many flavors of baos so do go check them out! 😋

Wonderfully tender and melt-in-your-mouth, I have literally no complaints about this Lu Rou. The lu rou consisted mostly of the fatty part, however, so if you aren't a fan of the fatty parts, you might only end up eating the meaty parts, but I still highly recommend this dish to all fatty and meaty lovers ☺️

I love the concept of Five Ten, where everything is charged at $5 or $10. However, the price is subjected to service charge and GST so prepare more money for your trip there!

Tanuki Raw has been highly praised by the people around me and I'm super glad it didn't disappoint.

This is hands down one of the best beef bowls you will ever have here in Singapore. I'm absolutely in love with and crazy over how flavorful every single element of the dish was. Even the rice had flavor to it, unlike many other places selling beef bowls! An oozy onsen egg along with tender and well-cooked short ribs, this rice bowl really had no flaws.

Sadly, it's really costly though so I would highly recommend going during lunch hour for their lunch promos ☺️

$9.80
Bulgogi Beef with Tofu + Brown Rice + Romaine Lettuce

Another one of my secret spots that I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS dine at, as it's located super near to my dance studio. Selling healthy bentos, The Bento People has a range of ingredients and soup bases for you! The best thing about it is that it's completely DIY so you can choose whatever you want to eat in their menu!! You may have to add $1-$3 for certain ingredients but they do label it in their DIY menu so do look before you order ☺️ Also, there's free water for you so do just let the counter person know.

I highly recommend the Chicken & Tofu in Thai Green Curry as well as the Bulgogi Beef with Tofu. Super yummy and healthy, this place is a definite must try!

I still vividly remember the first time having this dish. The perfectly cooked fish that melted in my mouth along with a tasty and generous tomato salsa, slightly overcooked prawns and an average quinoa, but overall, it was still a mouthwatering dish.

I went back to Cedele today, excited and hungry, and I ordered this dish for the second time. Sadly to say, I was highly disappointed. The fish and prawns were seriously overcooked, the tomato ssa was as tasty as before and honestly, the hero of the dish today but Cedele was stingy with the amount that they gave, and the quinoa was as average as ever. Overall, a dry and tough-to-enjoy meal and I'm seriously disappointed. My expectations for this dish have been crushed and I don't think I would order it again.

Service-wise, some of the staff were really lazy. I noticed one of the female staff cleaning up the table and though she spotted some bread on the floor, she didn't bother to clean it up and left it on the floor. And even when my mother left her cup of tea and number tag on the table, she didn't even bother calling us back. The staff gave off a very cold and "sian" attitude other than one of the older staff members, who was hardworking and helpful.

However, I understand that there are "bad days" and maybe, this is just one of the bad days for Cedele. :) Hoping to return with a better experience next time!

My friend recently asked me what my favorite food in Singapore was and at that time I didn't know what to answer, but after a short trip back to Grillo's, hands down this is the best food I've ever had in Singapore.

I may like the food in many shops, but not many I would purposely make a trip down for. And Grillo's is a place I would travel all the way there for. It's indescribably amazing with the strong truffle taste to the tender meat with the soft runny egg and amazing sauce to go along with it. This is a place worth my money. Heard Tanuki Raw's beef bowl is better from my friends but until I try that, this is really the best beef bowl/food I've ever had in Singapore.
