Welcome to East, Singapore.

[KAKI BUKIT, SINGAPORE] A cafe in the East that serves up pretty decent cafe food with huge portions! @cafebarcosg sells quite a variety of cafe food options and we tried a couple of them.

For the mains, my choice item would probably be their Chicken Katsu Burger 🍔 ($17.80). This came in a humongous portion, with a huge slab of fried chicken cutlet and quite a sizeable portion of fries. The katsu itself was juicy, bun was well buttered, and the fries were decent. Other main options like the Mentaiko Egg Mayo Sando 🥪 ($8.80) were good as well, as it was jam packed with eggs in mentaiko sauce.

If you feel like you want something lighter, their Ham & Cheese Croissant 🥐 is quite decent as well, as it was aromatic with its buttery flavour! For desserts, their tarts ($8) can't go wrong, though we didn't like their Madelaine nor their Canele as they were too tough.

For drinks wise, Orange Americano & Strawberry Matcha Latte are good choices, as the former is refreshing, while the latter is really rich with matcha flavour. Love that it isn't grainy!

This is a cafe you can consider in the east! Thank you @eatwithkeat for inviting and @cafebarcosg for the food!

mochi nice but somehow the peanut butter does go together well

thick mochi within the waffles and good variety of ice-cream to choose from

I initially wanted to get the Beauty Leg Chicken Rice, but @96chickenrice had completely changed their menu. So, I decided to try their new offering, Signature Boneless Chicken Thigh Rice with Onsen Egg ($6.90). The set came with a perfectly marinated egg, tender boneless chicken with crispy skin, and cabbage soup. While the boneless meat made for an easy eating experience, I still preferred the huge Beauty Leg version as they executed it better in terms of taste and texture. The boneless version lacked aroma and wasn’t as juicy compared to the bone-in version.

The Golden Prawn Pancake ($5.90) from @bainiansg was superb, as it was deep-fried to the perfect golden-brown hue, and served piping hot, with just the right amount of greasiness. The umami, savoury flavours paired well with its crispy yet bouncy texture.

We also got a plate of @shiniansg Pork Trotter ($9.60), which was beautifully braised inside out. The skin was soft, the fat was thick and gooey, and the savoury meat was easy to eat, as it had been chopped into smaller portions. Eat it while it’s hot, though once it cools down, the skin and fat become firmer and chewier due to the nature of collagen.

The century egg was a cold dish with a spicy, gingery, and vinegary kick.

From viral DIY Porridge and "gao lak" Chicken Rice to aromatic Braised Pork and hearty Yong Tau Foo, this food court offers a feast of local delights.

These four brands, each specialising in their own unique local dishes, are all under the @bainiansg group. A few weeks ago, my friends and I had the chance to try a dish from each brand, filling our tummies just right. And today, I brought another group of friends along because good food must be shared!

We had the @pengjiazhousg DIY Porridge (min $5/100g), where we mixed and matched our preferred ingredients. Alongside, we ordered Pang’s Century Egg ($5.90), the must-order Hakka Style Fried Pork ($5.90), Fried Large Intestine ($6.90), and Golden You Tiao ($0.80). The century egg was a cold dish with a spicy, gingery, and vinegary kick. However, the intestine wasn’t great that day, as it had a noticeable porky stench. At least, we still enjoyed the porridge with freshly fried crispy dough fritters.

Everything is great, noodles can be better. Promo with Grabpay

Had the sweet potato porridge, sliced fish with ginger, pork chop and mix veg and it was amazing. The dish that i really recommend is the pork chop. Fried to perfection and the tomato sauce that comes with it was tangy and savoury. Would recommend for people to come try it out!

Food was really good! The sauce from the fish and clams were the best and goes really well with the porridge. The fish and clams were my favourite highly recommended to try! Porridge is really nice too!
