Worth A Visit

Menu changed in 2023, and whatever new items we tried (roast pork carbonara, bacon pappardelle and cajun chicken) were 😋 😋 😋😋😋

There are so many new cafes in Singapore, but it remains hard to find a cafe with good creamy (ie rich) sauces and satisfying food items overall and for this Fuel Plus still gets my vote! 5 stars and 5 ❤️. We highly recommend the signature items as shown. We are grateful too that prices are not rocket high and are “all in” - ie what you see on the menu is exactly what you pay/ are billed. Although there are cost pressures facing all F&B outlets in Singapore, I detected just a ~$1-$2 Increase for the larger items on the Fuel Plus+ menu in the course of these few years. Wow. Please support Fuel Plus+, esp given the Burpple discount!

Though presented with a seafood menu, we were in the mood for carbs instead this afternoon. The beef hor fun ($5.50) came with commendably fork-tender beef. The crispy noodles (生面$4) were of the thicker type, soaking up the sauce well without getting soft. We will be back to try the other carbs, from the extensive rice/ noodle menu as pictured. Note: they seem to impose a charge for takeaway boxes so enjoy the food onsite if possible! There are other stalls worth trying too in the same coffeeshop.

We ordered the Ashes Smash Cheeseburger (double patty, $8.40 with fries) and the Mac & Cheese with truffle mushrooms ($6) as pictured. The meat patties were decent enough - ie worth a visit at this price point if you are in the area (we enjoyed a foodpanda 25% pickup discount) - though lacking a distinctive flavour, and were chewy at parts. The Mac & Cheese was pleasingly fragrant, thanks to the truffle oil. Ignore the surroundings in this hawker centre as you sink your teeth in…

Do not judge this cheeseburger only by its appearance. The beef patty is of a good quality, so the Burpple deal (1 for 1) makes things even more awesome! Be prepared to wait though; and this coffeeshop in the Sunset estate has tables for 2 only due to COVID measures so you need to secure 2 adjacent tables if you come in a group of 3-5 pax.

Great place to chill at, amidst Science Park surroundings, with good quality coffee. The Burpple 1 for 1 deal at $28+ (choice of main course + dessert + choice of drink) is a strange package as the items on an a la carte basis only add up to ~$25 max and yet we were still told to top up $2 for coffee despite the Burpple screen indicating that only alcoholic drinks are excluded! Ah well. We paid $33 in total including the extra $2 and service charge.

This - in Singapore! We were in Geylang to buy school uniforms and stepped into this setting that evoked memories of a past trip to Hoi An. The banh mi is all there is on the menu and 🥖 is freshly baked on-site. The beef version, with meat still pink and tasty sauces with a dash of fresh chilli, was good enough for us to contemplate a second visit! Get the set, which bundles a banh mi and drink for just $5.50. That’s the reason for a constant stream of orders with many taking out 3-4 rolls and iced viet coffee. On googling, we saw various positive reviews too. With holidays abroad not quite possible, we look forward to discovering more such treats on our shores! Better late than never...😋

The sauce was truffle scented - this was not the prettiest dish we ordered but the item with the boldest burst of flavour. Bodacious is a great place to chill at too - to read a book during the day or to meet friends for delicious and well-plated food, in the company of a very gracious and friendly owner. We will be back.

A pleasant surprise - this is $16++ on the menu (before the 50% Eatigo off peak discount)! With the most gorgeously garlicky tartar sauce.

The “Truffle Bacon Mushroom Farfalle” is outstanding - the fragrant bacon and mushroom sauce is for those who like distinctive, rich and satisfying sauces. One of the very BEST pasta dishes EVER, in a Singapore cafe!

This was substantial, and a crowd pleaser :)

This menu item may not look exciting but the beef was tender and the wok hei - infused hor fun was delicious. The Chef that cooked it today deserves 9/10!
