Welcome to Esplanade.

What a surprise to be able to find an indoor eatery selling

Small ($7.90) included crunch - maple pumpkin granola, fruits - banana, drizzle - almond butter ($0.50). I saw it this online and decided to try it out. But I felt that it's located at tourist area as at least acai was not that bad. Acai was not that frozen and also fresh made with the ingredients. Almond butter was quite fresh made and got thick texture.

($6.90) I felt meh that it's quite dry for fried tofu and made roll to be so dry.

We tried for the 1st time grab delivery for this awesome platter that we usually eat in Sofra restaurant itself. It’s so pretty even in a take-out! Fed so many of us at home! Love it!

I had an extremely frustrating experience at Makan Makan, Marina Square on 27/9/24. Just after noon, the waiter spilled my bandung drink while serving food, soaking my right leg and my white shoes. I was left wet, sticky, and with one shoe stained pink. To make things worse, I had to attend a conference until 6pm, so I couldn’t go home to change.

Feeling uncomfortable, I immediately asked the restaurant for compensation, but their response was dismissive. They didn’t offer a proper apology or any meaningful solution. Instead, the person on the phone told me "accidents happen" and acted as if I shouldn’t expect them to compensate me for my shoes. I was incredibly uncomfortable in my wet and sticky clothes, so I had no choice but to go and buy new pants and socks, which cost me $47.95.

The person on the phone even questioned why I was upset and my tone of voice, completely ignoring the fact that I was standing there with one leg soaked and shoes stained pink. Although the staff at the restaurant said the boss would waive the $14.55 bill, I insisted on paying just to have evidence of the incident.

While my Nike shoes weren’t new, one of them is now permanently pink, and I had to spend money and deal with the discomfort caused by their mistake. Accidents do happen, but their poor handling of the situation and refusal to offer any real compensation was unacceptable. They could have at least apologized properly and suggested alternatives to make up for the inconvenience. I would not recommend this place.

I thought their specialty lies in their meat rice bowls but the Original Chirashi ($20.90) was surprisingly delicious as well. The generous serving of sashimi cubes (eg. salmon, tuna, octopus) and ikura is fresh and well seasoned.

Original Wagyu Beef ($22.90) comes with seared Wagyu beef pieces that are juicy and smokey. The flavour of the beef really comes through and served with a poached egg, tobiko and pickles, this is one satisfying rice bowl.

Hokkaido Butadon ($16) comes with tender pieces of Iberico Secreto (note: for that lack of a better description, that refers to the armpit of a pig😂) glazed in Nikiri sauce (sweet soy sauce) and grilled to perfection. The rice bowl comes with onsen egg, mushrooms and pickles. I like that this is not too sweet and the pork has a really nice texture.

I can see the reason why Supply & Demand would set up a gelato takeaway kiosk at their Esplanade outlet. Overlooking the waterfront with high foot traffic around, many people would definitely want some cold stuff during their walk around here.

Checking out what flavours they are offered for the day I’m here and found this interesting one.
