Worth The Gram😎😎

🤯 There I was thinking how could a bread-like donut taste like a mochi. I’ve been proven wrong folks and I’m semi-glad I was!!!(the semi cuz of the fact that I may not taste this again😭) The donut had a crisp on the outside, with a warm and mochi-chewy inside, paired with milky sweet cookie soft serve and crunchy nut and toasted oat clusters, topped off with a salty caramel drizzle ..... it’s honestly one of the TOP desserts I’ve ever tasted in sg(that being like a gazillion) and it’s gonna take awhile to find something else like it, it’s just that good omg @brotherbird_bakehouse would you pleeeaaass consider selling this donut as a regular item!! 🙏🏻🙃I’m really looking forward to the reopening!!
P.s: different flavours would be nice too!!😍😍
.
With that, 2019 has been a blast and may there be more gd food for all next yr!!
HAPPY NEW YEARS DAY FOLKS🥳🥳

Great selection of seafood ranging from chunky octopus to thick slices of yellowtail. I mean when in Japan, it’s something you absolutely HAVE to order ammarite😏 The salt baked prawn was also mind blowing. This is one of the places I’ve had the freshest seafood in Shinjuku so far, highly recommended!!

So being the cray cray and in the “I want it all” mood I went to order all of these off the first sports bar we found in the area (hey aft all that walking I was hungry and needed sustenance ok🤪)
First off, the lobster roll surprised me with the amount of lobster meat I found in each bite like omg usually, lobster rolls found in SG leaves my mouth feeling greasy with all the mayo but with this, I can confidently say “Yeap I ate lobster roll” instead of “Yeap I ate mayo bread and a hint of meat”. The fries and thick creamy chowder was the perfect complement to each other, like honestly don’t hesitate dunking those crisps in there’s it’s damn gd!! The buffalo wings were woo spicyy 🥵but somehow addictive😈. The sauce was evenly coated around the wings and I really like the blue cheese dip at the side.
The calamari were crisp and I didn’t detect 1 bit of the fishy taste. The non conventional part was that they fried some peppers along with the calamari, adding the much missed and necessary spice to the dish.
Overall, great food and even better atmosphere. Loved the “Go Red Sox!!” atmosphere of this traditional sports bar and really gave this noob insight to the sports world around here. Would recommend this to anyone visiting Boston(esp all y’all sports fans!!⚾️🏆)

However for this, I could taste BOTH!! Was really really blown away with the balance of the black salt and the strong vanilla flavour of the vanilla bean. I really mean LEGID vanilla bean bits were all over the gorgeous blue scoop!! Love the sprinkle of Black Sea salt on top as well, added a lovely crunch!! Special mention to the cone as well, as I really got the lavender fragrance from it. Omg can I say lavender, vanilla and sea salt actually go really good tgt?!?!? The tiny space was really cute, with many photo spots to take some creative cone pics!! Gave me strong love bonito vibes actually😏 Really sated my blue ice cream cravings for awhile and it’s probably a place I would think of to get a dessert fix in the future when I’m in the area🤤
Ps: LAST few hours to get your hands on a FREE scoop @breadandbutterflysg !!

This particular plate of eggy goodness is different from the rest I’ve tried because omg there’s SO MUCH CHYEPOH!!! 😍😍Ok chyepoh is basically a preserved veggie that’s like diced and it adds a savoury crunch to the nicely golden browned carrot cake!!and yes I like lots of chopped spring onions on my carrot cake, those that don’t y’all are missing out😉😉

Anyways this actually tasted startlingly like teh halia, with ginger undertones and the tart tea aftertaste. I really liked how the ginger flavour was just right and not too overpowering so I could still taste the tea. The ice cream was abit hard so I suggest u let it melt for a minute before digging in. The red bean paste was also good on its own, but together with the ice cream it felt a bit overwhelming and confusing, like my tongue couldn’t decide if it tasted red bean or tea or ginger so nope they don’t mesh well. Nonetheless the place had a really nice atmosphere, with nice dried flowers on the tables and vines surrounding the gates. All in all, nice place, refreshing dessert, worth a shot:))

This purple goodness can honestly imo be eaten for breakfast lunch, linner dinner etc. Finally decided on getting coco glow and the much missed ch-ch-ch-chia flavours(tough life decisions cuz all of them looked so good!!) the coco glow had layers of flavourful coconut sorbet alternating with acai. The chia pudding was also a really good complement to the açai(not to mention super healthy!!) There was also lots of granola and nuts in the between the layers which I really liked as it added a crunch. The toppings were quite generous, with a heaping teaspoon of each topping, including superfoods like goji berries and coconut shavings. However, I would have preferred more blueberries(they literally only counted 4-5 per cup even if it was the largest size😒😒). Other than that, the acai was not diluted and didn’t melt too fast which allowed us to really enjoy the whole big cup of it. It’s also not to sweet but enough to satisfy the sweet tooth in me. Not to mention omg this place has like THE BEST almond butter topping like honestly if y’all are a fan of nut butters you have to try this!! It has the perfect balance of chunky and smooth and buttery.. yums!! Definitely worth splurging for!!
P.s : Love that the cups are also environmentally friendly!!

Was recommended this bowl of wholeness by a friend, and was abit hesitant cuz like will I be full from this?? Conclusion: it’s a yes from me!! The pork porridge we got was not too salty, and cooked to a nice consistency. It was full of different forms of the meat, with tender slices of lean pork, savoury pork balls and pork liver (can opt not to get this, the auntie will ask during the order!!) Not to mention the unusual garnishing, usually it only come with the spring onions, you tiao and a drizzle of sesame oil, but this come with the white crispy bits which I surprising really liked with the porridge!! The porridge is really worth the price imo and the auntie also vry nice!! Will definitely be back like this place is honestly gg to the top 5 porridge places for me!! Is there any other porridge/rainy day foods that are must trys??🌚🌚

Also, it’s chicken thigh!! The nuts and pomegranate crunch provided a nice change from the tart rocket salad. I actually really liked the mustard dressing, gonna be one of the sauces I choose from now on. The mustard seeds provided a nice spicy herby flavour and the sauce itself was sweet and sour, loved it!! Abit pricey(like all healthy foods nowadays) but if you are in the mood for something refreshing yet filling, this is worth a shot:)) Side note, can someone explain why cheap healthy food is so hard to find in SG?!?!?😭😭

FINALLY after idk how many months, I found the time(and company;)) to go and try out the scoops from @geometry.sg !! I really liked that there were soo many flavours to choose from (even though only 2 were non-premium flavours), from earthly hojicha and some paddle pop looking rainbow flavour to some really buttery pistachio. We were more In the mood for the earthly one so we got hojicha and the golden and black sesame. Honestly, I chose the sesame over pistachio because I’d wanted to try what exactly is “golden sesame”. Turns out, it’s a lighter version of the black sesame but still as aromatic. The hojicha also had the signature roasted flavour which was really nice. The 2 scoops really melded well together and I left feeling very satisfied (unbelievably so) even with only 1 scoop for each of us. The price point is definitely a plus point along with the nice vibes and ambiance of the small cafe. Would be back for the quiet aftnoons and quality guilty pleasures!!:))

The sweet potato swirl was unexpectedly smooth, but I think due to refrigeration the outer layer tasted abit thicker than the inner layer. The flavour was still good nonetheless!! I love the subtle sweetness of the sweet potato paste and how it came together with the fragrant almond chantilly cream inside. and right below the almond was... MORE SWEET POTATO!! (As u can see from the damage done in the second pic 😜😜) This one had more fibre?? In it and I felt that the taste of this layer played out more. The piping on the tart is also quite aesthetic and honestly that’s what led me to buying this instead of the rest of the stuff on display in the first place. There’s also a sponge right above the tart shell that blended in nicely but I can’t really taste much when eaten on its own. The tart shell was so hard omg was so scared to damage the whole thing with the fork cuz every poke took some intense effort😂 but that just shows how crunchy and crumbly it is when eaten😏. Overall, it was a great first try at the new matchaya and I really look forward to going back and trying the other things!! Any particular recommendations😎??

When I tried it separately from the matcha, the subtle undertones were really playing out but somehow, I like it together with the matcha eh. I’ve read reviews that separate it but for me, I just like the combi of both types of tea. The hojicha balances out the intensity of the matcha quite nicely, with the “oh wow” taste of matcha while still allowing the hojicha fragrance to pan out. Well the matcha chocolate crunch was fantastic as before and the matcha still packs a punch which still blows me away( but in a gd way;)) Quite sad the parfait this time didn’t come with the cheesecake/roll cake included but either way, I’m soo looking forward to having them back in SG and getting a much needed authentic matcha fix(heard it’s gonna be next Feb? I’m so ready anyways AHAHAH)
Shoutout to those working behind the scenes tho!! I loved the smiley attitude they had amidst the crowds and the snapping cameras great job and hope to see y’all soon!!
