Not the most flattering photo, but man, Sous-vide for more than 30 hours, the melt in your mouth ribs seemed to be marinated in a char siew-esque sauce. Every single slice was mouthwateringly tender and marbled with fat. It has a charred crust and is accompanied by sesame butter. The cucumbers serve as a great palate cleanser to make sure that you enjoy every bit of the dish right down to the very last mouth.
Everyone raves about the set lunch-only Fat Cow Donburi or a la carte Premium Donburi but what really caught my attention was the Donabemeshi ($78++) - slow cooked wagyu beef in claypot, Japanese short-grain rice, onsen egg, shiro negi and house seasoned shoyu. Ultimately a claypot-style donburi, the meat is noticeably more tender and flavourful than that of the original donburi, which I got to sample a little from someone who ordered that, probably due to the slow cooking process that makes it all the more tender and softer; the fatty pieces of wagyu meat are super melty and delicious, and I can only wish there was more of those compared to the leaner chunks. I do love the uniqueness of this dish because it does give off a sense of Jap-local fusion due to the claypot elements of the dish, and I feel it elevated the regular wagyu beef don to something more fragrant and tastier. 😋
The price is really hefty, and I probably would not have gone to Fat Cow without the trusty Entertainer app which allowed 1-for-1 a la carte main dishes limited to every 2 pax (up to 8 pax, 4 vouchers). I am not sponsored by the app (lol wouldn't everyone wish they were? 😂) but this really saved the table a lot of money, and this meal alone managed to breakeven the cost of the app, so all's good. 😁
Crisp, non-oily batter, fresh john dory fillet within. Piping hot medium-cut chips and fresh salad. Chili was, oddly enough, slightly salty.
Can’t come here and not order their fish head curry; a more than sizable, meaty fish head in a light, sourish curry that we couldn’t stop drenching our biryani in. The flesh of the fish was soft too, buuuuut a little fishy without the curry. Order up a few nans and go on a dunking spree! 😛
Thrilled that I was able to try one of the new dishes launched by Gastrosmiths today! After falling in love with their Camembert toast, I was pretty excited to try this new one and wasn’t disappointed.
Lightly glazed with black pepper strawberry coulis, that gooey cheese just packed a whole punch of flavour on that grilled soft toast. A rich and satisfying experience indeed.
For $10 more, I would say the chirashi kou is a better steal as it comes with premium ingredients of hotate, chutoro, unagi and amaebi. The hotate was fresh and tender & placed between lemon that gave it a citrus flavor, making it my fav of the sashimi.

This wonderful 1.2kg slab of charcoal grilled wagyu T-bone makes me go weak in the knees, mostly because it’s absolutely delicious but also, it’s a whole lot of meat for two people (who has had several courses to begin with). I’d recommend this for at least three to share! The seasoning on the meat itself is subtle, allowing that slightly burnt, charcoal sear to take the front seat. That also means the sides of rosemary salt and (three) sauces will come in handy.
Excellent for date nights or when you feel like splurging for special occasions!

Top - Butter pork ribs (medium size=8 pcs)
Bottom left - 3egg spinach
Bottom right - Drunken cockles
Not in picture - Tofu with golden mushroom, 2 bowls of rice. Total cost $38
Third visit this time. Must order their butter pork ribs and 3egg spinach. The pork ribs are generousy covered with milk powder. Spinach was cooked till the right texture - soft and chewy. Druken cockles was a new dish attempt for us - precooked cockles refrigerated then added with garlic, chilli padi and other condiments (ps it does not have strong alcohol taste although it is name as drunken). Another new dish attempt is tofu with golden mushroom- a puny salty though..
The soft buttery scrambled eggs sits perfectly on top of the juicy tender duck leg stuffed in between a hot and crispy croissant. Paired with it with all the time favourite truffle fries and dip. Yummy !
Never mind the lack of menus (there's only one hanging on the wall to refer to) and the unassuming storefront, Ronin is still the go-to cafe for many simply because the food is good and the coffee is consistent. Opened by the folks behind The Plain and PUNCH, this moody, industrial chic cafe is perfect for brunch with a small group of friends. Like the regulars here, go for the outrageously good Scrambled Eggs on Toast ($9) — creamy, velvety folds of egg with a dash of coarse sea salt flakes, served on two types of toast. Choose to add portobello mushroom ($3.50) and avocado ($3) for a heartier meal. The French Toast ($15) with braised apples, crispy bacon and hazelnut butter (so darn good) is by far one of the best in town. Don't leave without a cup of Wicked Mocha ($5.50/$7.50 for iced) — coffee with a heap of chocolate and a minty finish.
Avg Price: $20 per person

[New Festive Menu] Mind blown. We love our SG sio bak, but the I discovered Park Bench can do really really good Italian sio bak too with this rendition of fennel marinated porcetta in warm soft ciabatta.

Melty and juicy pork belly contrasted sharply in texture by the crispy but crumbly cackling skin, well-creamed with roasted garlic aioli with hints of smokiness, flavoured with caramelized onions and balanced fresh arugula.. I wish every month is Christmas month because this is only available in December!
