Steak

By far the best beef steak I’ve had locally, and it even ranks high up on my list of best beef steaks experienced in Japan!
The N34 Garnet premium F1 wagyu striploin from Hokkaido had excellent marbling with lightly roasted edges, cooked to medium rare perfection. Literally melted in my mouth, paired with an excellent glass of Freixenet Chianti 2022 DOCG.
Also must try the Chimmichurri Crusted Bone Marrow with sourdough bread as appetiser and the brandied cream tiramisu for dessert.
Highly recommended!

Passed by this easy-going eatery and was recommended their smashed beef focaccia sandwich - a double-layered Angus beef burger-like sandwich. The beef was smoky and tender, the focaccia soft and the bite crunchy from the leafy romaine lettuce. A Smash hit indeed, paired nicely with a warm glass of hojicha!

Had a very heartening Taiwan porridge dinner in a coffeeshop setting.
Best dish was the promotion dish of black bean sauce seabass which was crispy on the outside with tender flesh on the inside! Another recommendation is the hor fun with sliced fish and tao gay, which had a solid wok hey taste and aroma.
Easy to get a seat but if you drive, be prepared to park elsewhere.

Chanced upon this restaurant we thought served all things prawns, tucked in a nice new enclave.
For bites, the Ostra Regal oysters airflows from France was really fresh and succulent.
For smalls, the Squid and Ink was crunchy with a subtle ocean taste which was not overpowering.
For hearth, the Monkfish and Cashew Curry was very tender and fresh too, and the liberal sprinkling of chives added some crunch too.
Staff were also very welcoming and friendly. The restaurant manager Aloysius was also kind enough to give us a bowl of their signature prawn/pork broth which reminded us of their famous prawn noodles in MacPherson. Highly recommended, esp if you are in the area.

Ordered a 250g Grass-Fed Ribeye, which was sizzled medium with red wine sauce, along with green salad and sautéed mushrooms on the side. The ribeye was very tender, juicy and flavourful and paired well with the housepour of Terrazas de los Anges melbec from Argentina. Great meats tucked in a cosy corner along Bukit Timah Road!
