Comfort Food At It's Best

Ordered the Chicken Parmigiana ($18) for a quick lunch. A very generous portion that won’t leave you hungry. However, the chicken was too under seasoned for my tastes, and the dominant flavour was the cheese rather than the expected medley of tomato sauce, cheese, and chicken. Additionally, the chicken was on the tougher side (slightly overcooked) and breading was not as crispy as I’d hoped. There’s certainly room for improvement.

The Miso Mushroom Risotto was an interesting take on a classic risotto by Apollo Coffee Bar. Overall, the dish wasn't bad for me but I felt that the one I had was slightly underseasoned - only the bites with the salty bacon felt really satisfying. That said, I am someone who enjoys big, bold flavors hence my comment. The dish was still fairly well done; I especially loved the crispy enoki mushroom which had an incredibly crisp texture as well as the soft boiled egg. One word of caution is that the risotto was a little on the wet side so it's up to your personal preference because I like risottos that are dryer. Still, a decent dish all round!

Hidden in a quiet corner underneath a HDB block just minutes away from Aljunied MRT, Builders @ Sims serves up incredible food at even more incredible prices. Their Truffles Fries (picture not shown) served with a garlic aioli are definitely a must try when you head down! Their Beef main (picture above) was generously portioned and was to die for! The sous vide beef cheeks were melt-in-your-mouth and perfectly paired with creamy mashed potato. Will definitely be back for more to try out the rest of their menu!
