Had the oxtail soup and house wine. The oxtail soup was beefy and rich in flavour, with the beef falling off the bone. It came quickly and was served piping hot as well. The house wine was decent.

You can turn any main into a set by topping up about $5 to add a soup, salad, coffee/tea, and a small dessert.

The only drawback is that the price is quite high, it was over $70 for two of us (2 mains + top up for 1 set + 1 glass house white wine)

Tried their Like set today and really enjoyed it! I was initially a bit unsure if 150g would be enough meat but it turned out to be just right. We also appreciated the fact that their grills are designed in such a way that the smell of the grill doesn’t stick to your clothes.

The only thing is that the grills are a bit small, and if you come in a group of 5, you’ll only have 2 grills at the table and that may cause issues during the meal.

I’ve had this a few times and it has never disappointed! The chicken is tender and juicy and very tasty. I also enjoyed the BBQ beans. For $9, I think the amount of chicken, fries, and sides were pretty generous.

The matcha ice cream was fantastic - rich matcha flavour, not too sweet, with plenty of umami. If you like matcha, this is definitely for you.

The waffles were crispy and sweet. Definitely overpowered by the ice cream in this case, but would work well with a slightly less intense flavour.

Was pretty sceptical of the flavour but it turned out to be good! The salted egg yolk flavour is very strong but doesn’t clash with the macaron shell. Up to now, I’ve only eaten sweet macaroons but I enjoyed this

One of their Halloween flavours, this ice cream sounds disgusting but tastes delicious! It’s a chocolate malt (aka milo) ice cream with cookie dough. If you love the regular cookie dough ice cream flavour, you’ll love this too.

Located in Clementi Arcade, just in front of Cold Storage, this bakery is convenient for a quick break before or after grocery shopping (that said, I dapaoed my pastry)

The prices match the vibe of the shop (fairly high) but the pain au chocolate was much bigger than most, which lessened the pain of my wallet. The pastry was flaky and buttery and the chocolate was just right in terms of sweetness. My only ‘complaint’ would be that the amount of chocolate relative to pastry was fairly little and I would have preferred to have chocolate in every bite.

Still, I will be coming back to try more.

I’m lucky enough to grow up near Balmoral so this is like our neighbourhood bakery. While the chicken pie has gotten smaller over the years, the beef pie is still the same large size that’s perfect for one. The crust is flaky and tasty and the mince filling is generous. These are best eaten warm and I find myself craving this ever so often and luckily, my cravings are easily fulfilled.
