This platter featured marinated grilled chicken breast, lamb cutlets, grilled ribeye, and chicken wings, and is stuffed with a corn on cob and small hill of curly fries. The chicken breast was surprisingly tender for this unassuming cut of poultry and actually pretty well marinated. The lamb cutlets and ribeye were both rather juicy despite them being quite thin.

As far as meat platters go, Alter Ego's is not a bad choice to satisfy any carnivorous urges -- especially at this price!

A great choice for those who can't decide. The platter included grilled salmon, marinated tilapia, squid ring, and king prawns.

The selection was all perfectly grilled and fresh -- especially the fish! The salmon and tilapia just melted apart and is great for sharing.

The 2 chunky patties were nice and meaty and even layered with a gluttonous amount of bacon on top. Overall, it's not a bad deal although the consistency of the cheese unfortunately reminded me of plain bechamel sauce.

This bowl looked promising but unfortunately needs a whole lot of work. The lamb was exceedingly tough and was difficult enough just to strip the meat from the bone. The lamb did no justice to the butter rice, though, which was memorably fragrant.

Nonetheless, thanks Alter Ego and Burpple for having us!

Both poke bowls packed an exciting assortment of toppings such as tobiko, wakame, almonds, shimeji mushrooms, and nori. I love it when my rice bowls are chock full of toppings so each mixed-up spoonful doesn't get tedious.

Though the Wasabi Yuzu Dragon sounds like it would set fire to your tastebuds, the taste of wasabi and yuzu were quite mild and the bowl tasted quite similar to the original poke shaker.

Standard cut fries smothered in ooey-gooey cheese and pepperonis. Actually... that's where its similarities to pizza ends but who could say no to this? It's a fantastic bar snack!

There is just one thing you need fish skin to be, and that is to be crispy. This fared well in that department, and scored bonus points for being in huge slivers as well. What I'd prefer would be a stronger flavouring.

Set along 📍Katong's main road, @beerbasketkatong has at least 5 full fridges of craft beers for you to pick on a self service basis. A great place for a catch-up with some friends!

This pizza was layered in light pieces of prosciutto and had a creamy burrata in the centre. The crust was of the slightly hard and flaky variety but nothing enough cheese can't fix.

The truffle taste wasn't that strong for this one and the mushrooms weren't the best either. I still enjoyed the pizza with the arugula, though.

The nachos here are... Not good, to put it in a nice way. They really skimped on their toppings to produce a dry and lacking dish.

NGL, this may be lowbrow but it was done well. It wasn't just golden bits of well-seasoned chicken -- it was served above a bed of herby jalapeno mayo which gave it an added dimension.

A new kid on the block, this burger had some teething problems with maintaining a meaty texture. It was quite heartening to see the Harry's staff try their best to redo the burger to suit my tastes but I still think it needed a bit more work.

Thanks Burpple and Harry's for having us!
