Welcome to City Hall.

Ordered the chili lobster pasta. Taste was unique and flavourful - similar to chili crab sauce! A must try for foreigners and locals alike!

had the chilli lobster pasta and it was impressive! the pasta was al-dente and coated well with sauce:) atmosphere was great too and love the music playlist and interior decor!

Burpple beyond available. If not it’s $10++ each.

Nice cold brew

𝐊𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐠𝐨𝐫𝐢 (4.2⭐️; $6.90) - Rare to find wallet-friendly kakigori and these were right up our alley with the rich flavours, right sweetness level, and generous toppings. Matcha adzuki had earthy bittersweet cream with loads of red beans while black sesame was nutty with soft mochi topping.

($6) (hot version + unsweetened) I finally tried their no milk based matcha and not that bad. Quite nutty, smooth texture and also mild bitter taste.

($9.90) I finally tried their cake for a while. It's took me at least 2 years to try their cakes again. Since they have new series under shiro, I did tried their gelato previously last year. So the taste like not milky and creamy
texture and taste in between bitter and sweet. But the coconut just give me so strong aftertaste.

Came by as I had bought a Chope 1-for-1 mains voucher during one of their sales. The seating was a little bit cramped, such that if I held my hands out I think i could reach for the neck of the adjacent guests. Not ideal for dates (or for sharing private gossip). Also, the chairs are really uncomfortable, like, they were too low and not compatible with the height of the table.

In any case, we settled for the Chilli Lobster Malfadine ($30) and the Sweet and Sour Sticky Pork Ribs ($27). First things first, both dishes were served at room temperature - which in an air-con environment, meant it was almost cold! Did not like that at all. For the pasta, the sauce is reminiscent of the likes of chilli crab, though with lobster (a somewhat tough and obviously frozen lobster). Overall, felt it was somewhat one-dimensional and the poor quality of the lobster meat really let the dish down.

The pork ribs was, putting aside the coldness of it, actually fall-off-the-bone. Kudos to that! The sauce leaned heavily towards the sweet side (barely any zestiness/tanginess/sourness) and did not add much. I also missed any semblance of char or caramelisation that would have added an oomph to the meat. The achar and crackers were nice, and I have to give a special shoutout to the baby potatoes because they were so damn GOOD!! BUT they only gave 4 - FOUR - small halves?? That's absurd!

All in all, thought the dishes we had had so much more to improve on, and while the service we received was decent, there were some dissatisfaction / confusion / miscommunication at our adjacent table which we were full on spectators of - the tables are that close - to which I thought "hey luckily it didn't happen to us".

Overall, would I return? Eghh only if I had some vouchers to take advantage of, else I would much rather spend the money on other quality resto-bars.

We ordered the Duck Confit (with Foie Gras) and the Black Garlic Ribeye Steak with Bone Marrow Butter! The duck skin was crispy on the outside and the meat was juicy on the inside. Paired with the creamy foie gras, it was hands down one of the best duck confits I’ve ever tasted! We requested the steak to be cooked medium-rare, and it was done to perfection—complemented beautifully by the rich brandy sauce.

As for the cocktails, we were pleasantly surprised by the wide variety available and were absolutely spoilt for choice. We decided on the Heartland Signature and Ice on Wheels and didn’t expect the drinks to be served exactly as illustrated in the menu. They were the cutest, and the cocktails tasted extra special with their fun and creative elements.

The grilled veggies give it a touch of smokiness and it's served with generous slices of sourdough❣️ Coffee is on the milky side

($2.30) kaya taste like thick coconut paste but good to eat immediately after serving. The texture for waffles was quite crispy and soft when in hot but in cold turned soggy and less crispy.

($6.90) they use blue pea rice to pair with fried chicken, peanut, anchovies, fried egg and chili. The chili is still manageable to eat with fried chicken. Overall, I felt that it's still nice with fried chicken is being marinated with spices.
