The 𝙒𝙖𝙜𝙮𝙪 𝘽𝙚𝙚𝙛 𝘽𝙪𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙧 was as good as ever. Their regular fries are super crispy. It’s definitely way better than their Cajun fries.

After Burpple Beyond, we paid ~$15 per pax. You definitely need to reserve a few days in advance though because they’re always packed. Will definitely be back to try more of their menu!! 🐷

Was recommended the 𝘽𝙚𝙚𝙛 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙚𝙠𝙨 (~$26) the last time I posted about this place. The beef was soft and tender and the mashed potatoes were a nice vehicle to sop up the red wine sauce 🥂

Was quite amazed that the scones sold out by 9am (omg right). The scone is more sweet than savoury, but has a prominent scallion aroma. Not bad, but I wouldn’t crave it.

I’ve always thought toasts (avocado, ricotta, pbnj) sold at cafes were way too bourgeoise and overhyped. But after I’ve tried this 𝙃𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙍𝙞𝙘𝙤𝙩𝙩𝙖 𝙏𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙚 ($12), I think I get the appeal.

The sourdough toast is so crusty and yet so soft at the same time. The ricotta is also incredibly rich and creamy. The roasted cherry tomatoes provide a pop of acidity to cut through the richness of the cheese. TLDR: I love it, I need more.

There’s limited seating here (~5 sheltered, ~6 larger open air tables) and you can’t make reservations. Despite that, I still managed to get a seat upon arrival, so just be opportunistic!

Can’t believe I only paid $8 for this with Burpple Beyond! Really a steal tbh.

The bagel was filled to the brim with smoked salmon, capers, veg and cream cheese. And the meal comes with an option of salad or soup of the day.

Though the bagel was good, I’d prefer if the bagel was more toasted and had more bite. For a bread place, I expected a more chewy bagel. The bagel kinda just tasted like stiff bread :p Would be back, but probably wouldn’t order the bagel again.

I love freshly roasted bagels with cream cheese! Actually not bad, considering it’s Starbucks and most of the food here seems to be premade way in advance. Was very chewy and crispy! Mmm

This cosy Taiwanese cafe has a wide selection of mains and desserts! Was full from lunch so we just got drinks. The black sesame latte was light and felt quite healthy. The coffee for the latte was also pretty good. Paid around $4 for the drink and there’s an additional 10% student discount!

It’s pretty cosy and quiet, so I’ll probably be back to try the snow shaved ice desserts and mains.

Really hearty tomato-based dish that hit the spot! This is the perfect comfort food that isn’t too calorific.

Crispy chicken cutlet on a bed of mashed potatoes, surrounded by a moat of creamy mushroom sauce! The chicken was moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. Really delicious and I would get this indulgent dish again!

This dish is the definition of comfort food! The chicken was very tender and went well with the tomato base. A really filling and hearty meal!

Paid $9.70 per pax after Burpple Beyond

Paid $9.70 per pax after Burpple Beyond! Pretty good for pasta, but I feel like there are nicer options at this cafe like the salmon mac and cheese! :)

I found the salmon to be rather dry :( Not sure if it’s because I have high expectations of salmon in general, or it’s just because cafes tend to overcook their salmon? Either way, this was okay, but I wouldn’t order it again! Not really to my taste :)
