West Finds
A good cafe to frequent to in IBP JE!
Ordered truffle fries, prawn warm pasta and vegetarian warm pasta and we were both surprised by how generous the servings were!
Both tasted really good and I will definitely come back to try the others in their main course section!
Tired of eating in the malls at JE? Take a walk (< 5 mins) from the MRT and head to Vision Exchange and you can see YC Dining & Bar upon climbing up the stairs.
We ordered the Cheesey burger Pizza and it tasted really good and we paired it up with the Prawn Marinara Fettucine. I enjoyed the pizza as it was easy to eat with its thin crust and the toppings were just the right amount. The marinara tasted a bit bland for my liking, you can probably request for more cheese/herbs/pepper if you want a bit more flavour. We topped it with glasses of ginger ale!
The staff were really kind, helpful and attentive to our orders and needs.
Total Damage:
ā Cheesey burger Pizza ($19.20)
ā Prawn Marinara Fettucine ($20.20)
ā Ginger Ale ($3 each)
Definitely will be coming back frequently to try the other dishes.
Ordered the beef stew, kimchi fried rice and crabmeat egg roll and was really full by the end of it. As soup lovers, we quickly ran out of soup and shyly asked for soup refills; we weren't sure if they would give us but they did provide us more without any extra charge! Saw how the other table were making their DIY rice balls, very curious to try that next!
I ordered the Dakgalbi rice dish & my partner ordered the chicken risotto! We ordered the best-seller Sweet Potato Pizza (we saw later that you can actually request for half sized and not the whole pizza) and surprisingly we really enjoyed the dish and was amused at how the flavours seem to mix well. Definitely coming back here again to try their other dishes and pizza flavours!
Came back as I enjoyed dining in here the other day and decided to try their pasta and truffle fries. Just a feedback on the mains: the truffle (fries and pasta) could use a bit more truffle flavour as it tasted quite bland - lacking in the fries and the pasta tasted more like carbonara than truffle cheese. My partner also mentioned how the basil pesto pasta was flavourless and upon tasting it, i reckon it needs a bit more of pesto in it. Their iced lemon tea also tasted a bit sour, if you prefer a more sharp flavour compared to lemon, you can get that. Otherwise, the ice cream and waffles were really good, we enjoyed that and we liked how the staff also asked for feedback on our dining experience. Hope to come back again soon!

It was my first time visiting Poppy Pops at Jem and had no idea this existed above the main foodcourt!
I enjoyed my experience and will definitely be back for more. I was a tad bit full coming in here hence could not finish my sandwich, but will come in hungry next time to finish my meal.
My 2 other friends also enjoyed their meals and were surprised with the portion, taste and ambience of the cafe. 10/10 will recommend and will be back.

We got the 1 for 1 classics & sausages, a Medley platter with yummy wheat rye bread, a 375ml jug of chardonnay and a mouth-watering warm chocolate lava cake topped with a scoop of ice cream!
The staff were really friendly and even made a few replacements to our dishes/drinks when it wasnt on-par with their standards. It was my friend's birthday and they provided a candle and sparkles with the cake and even turned off their humongous ceiling fan whilst we sang and waited for her to blow the candle.
Will definitely come back for more! It was my first time there, and definitely enjoyed the experience. 4.5/5 ās
Total damage done: $103.58
Ordered the Ebi Ten Katsu set worth ($24) and it came with the rice bowl (ebi + chicken katsu + egg), miso soup, chicken skin & water. It was alright, like any other regular japanese rice bowls in foodcourts, but I gotta say, this was really filling. Super worth the 1-for-1!
