Burpple Beyond ✌️

Overcoming this mountain of seafood in @dancingcrabsg’s The Ultimate Trio might seem daunting, but one bite in and you won’t be able to stop! An 800g crab, battered fish and soft shell crab, and white prawns are married with a rich and fragrant dry scallop hae bi hiam sauce (that you can (and should) scoop up with a spoon). The intriguing addition of popcorn might seem out of place, but this curiously savoury-sweet popcorn pairs amazingly well with the umami seafood flavours.

Hard to pick favourites at @manam.sg when everything packed a ton of flavour! The menu features South Indian cuisine and you can’t miss out on some of their curries, especially the rich and aromatic Varutharaicha Kari Kuzhambu ($23); tender mutton pieces in a spicy curry mix. Do yourself a favor and make sure you get their garlic naan to mop up any curries or gravies as well, definitely one of the best naans I’ve tasted with a perfect mix of chewy and crisp parts.

@sidewayssg might be gone, but it’s spirit (and oven) lives on at @firepitbyburn! 🔥 Anything that goes into that oven comes out beautifully charred, smokey and wonderfully flavoured; and this tender grilled octopus leg is no exception. If you’ve always thought about trying something like this, but still want to save on some cash, you can use #BurppleBeyond here to get 1-for-1!

With @burpple’s 1-for-1, this ribeye steak from @ryanskitchen_sg was super worth it! Nicely done to my requested medium rare, the meat was tender and well seasoned, and it had a pleasant charred flavour. A little bit sinewy at some points, but can’t complain. Opt for the crisp fries over the less exciting mashed potatoes.

Next time though, I think we’ll both go for the Steep’s Breakfast ($19), which comes loaded with eggs of your choice, sausages, turkey bacon, avocado, grilled tomato and wonderfully crispy tater tots. Perfect way to start the weekend.

A new cozy cafe, @steep.sg recently opened up near Jalan Besar MRT serving up the usual; hearty big breakfasts and amazing smelling pastas. Now, I generally don’t order eggs benedict at cafes due to the price, but with @burpple’s 1-for-1 on brunch items, why not. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Good coffee, comforting food is the name of the game here. Eggs were nicely poached (though personal preference for the sourdough to be lightly toasted). Definitely yummy though, if eggs Benny is your thing.

Available till the end of March, head down to @wooshisg to before the special @burpple 1-for-1 bowls disappears! Featuring chicken karaage, kani sticks and more on a bed of brown rice, enjoy it with the accompanying rich salted egg yolk sauce.

Also not pictured here, but we quite enjoyed their add-on sides of funky flavoured popcorn from @thekettlegourmet! Both Chilli Crab and Nasi Lemak flavours grew on me and felt like an interesting marriage of sweet and savoury.

@thegardenslug is on #BurppleBeyond now and this 1-for-1 Pasta & Drink combo is my jam! If it’s one thing they do right, it’s their non-traditional takes on pasta dishes. I’ve always loved their Tom Yum Vongole; perfectly al dente pasta tossed in a slick Vongole sauce perfumed with Thai aromatics like lemongrass and kafir lime leaves.

Nutella lovers, their Nutella drink is frothy, rich and super satisfying without being too sweet.

I love me a good pot of mussels, so this was definitely on my wishlist (especially since they’re on #BurppleBeyond). Their mussels come from France and are sweet, briny and fresh. They might be small, but each morsel is packed with flavour and depending on the sauce you pick to go with it, great with the fries too! I’d definitely recommend the Au Curry; a light red curry that’s slightly creamy and compliments the saltiness of the mussels well though I’d avoid the underwhelming Marinières (a white wine sauce).

Put that knife aside, it isn’t needed here. These beef cheek chunks are fork tender and oh-so-good! It’s a classic pairing of beef, sauce and mash, but satisfying nonetheless.

We heard this was a popular item from their holiday menu, which means it might not be there for long! And don’t forget to use that sweet #BurppleBeyond deal to get this 1-for-1! ✌️

This may be a place for drinks and people watching by the bay, but the food is no slouch either! This massive haddock burger basically feels like you’re having fish & chips; great golden brown crust and moist fish. Even the fries were great, with a crisp exterior not unlike fries from Long John Silver. What’s even better? You can get 1-for-1 here with #BurppleBeyond! ✌️

The successor to Uncle Kiisu, Babasan’s menu definitely has dishes you couldn’t even have dreamt of! I was seriously wondering how they would pull off ‘crispy pork belly stuffed with mee siam’, but I have to give it to them – this was really good!

A tender slab of pork belly hugging the tasty mee siam within. The pork was quite tender and skin was crisp which went super well with the tangy, spicy mee siam gravy! If that sounds too heavy for you, a side of kimchi is provided to cut through that richness. Our bill was also amazingly affordable thanks to 1-for-1 here with #BurppleBeyond! ✌️
