Visited Creamier over the weekend and tried their Waffles with two scoops of ice cream - chose the Roasted Pistachio and Honey Lemon Yuzu. The pistachio ice cream was the star of the show—creamy, rich, and packed with a delightful nutty flavor that was indulgent yet balanced. The honey lemon yuzu was also tart and refreshing, perfect as a pick-me-up on a sunny afternoon.

The waffle, however, was just decent. While it had a crisp exterior, it lacked the fluffy, buttery depth I was hoping for. It serves as a good base for the ice cream but wouldn't stand out on its own.

Overall, it was a pleasant experience, especially for the ice cream. Everything came up to $19.80 with 10% service charge, which I thought was an alright price for a place like Creamier. Would return to try more of their unique flavors, but might skip the waffle next time.

𝐁𝐞𝐞𝐟 𝐩𝐡𝐨 (3.5⭐️; $22) - One of the pricier renditions around but justified by the generous portion of tender beef ribeye. The broth was clean while retaining hearty bold flavour.

𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐡 𝐦𝐢 ($15/2 petite) - First time trying sourdough rendition and it added a tangy savory depth to the usual baguette. Airy and crispy, and loaded with delicious fillings. Would recommend the Krabby (4.2⭐️) rendition with crunchy soft shell crab, kombucha pickles, siracha chili. Signature pork (4⭐️) was more classic with crispy pork belly.

Katong Shopping Centre is no stranger to foodies, thanks to the recent buzz over the battle of banana pies (PSA: Auntie Peng now has a second outlet in the same building!).

Before the pie wars, the go-to spot was Delicious Boneless Chicken Rice, now rebranded as Katong Mei Wei. While the chicken is no longer boneless by default (unsure if you can still request it), soup refills and self-service achar are also a thing of the past.

That said, the chicken remains tender and flavorful, and the chilli still delivers a satisfying spicy kick. A familiar classic, slightly updated.

Poorly executed steak - ordered a medium but steak doneness was more like medium-rare (service staff / boss couldn't even tell which was the medium steak when we asked - he probably didn't even note to cook this as a medium?) Steak was also tough and chewy, definitely one of the poorer steaks around. Truffles fries had no truffle taste, and mashed potato had a weird texture. Was also told we couldn't use burpple but staff eventually relented when we shared that the app allows it. Was a terrible piece of steak and not worth the calories imo (not even a 1for1 deal will make it platable). Will not return.

+ saw that the shop has drastically shrank / downsized from its previous 2 storefronts to its small shop now, the quality and attitude of the shop owner is probably the reason why.

++ saw two poor souls who walked in after us and were misled into believing that burpple wasn't available for redemption when it clearly was. And then was sold into paying for a Wagyu flight meal.

Steak was not well cooked - Ordered it medium but steak came raw. Truffle fries came without truffle flavour. Was told by staff that burpple was not available for redemption even when it was. Eventually allowed to "redeem" only when we said burpple deals are available before 5pm on PH. Was not a satisfying meal and will not return.

Capped with a savoury Sea Salt Soy Foam and layered with nutty kinako powder at the very top, their Iced Kinako Matcha ($8) was yummy too. The unsweetened matcha with fresh milk itself was sufficiently earthy and smooth as well.

Impressed with June Coffee’s surprisingly lip-smacking Rose Rigatoni ($19). The Gochujang Cream was chef’s kisses - spicy, sweet, savoury, and just so deliciously good. The heat is mild and the umami notes kind of lingers. Texture-wise, the fresh pasta was nice and al dente, catching the vibrant sauce wonderfully. Really toothsome with the luscious burrata (I wish there was more) and sweet juicy cherry tomatoes. Satisfying; but if you need added protein and that extra oomph, Grilled Shrimp goes for an additional $6 and Thick-cut Pancetta (+$5).

These scones look delightful, offering a variety of flavors and textures, from savory to sweet. The golden-brown crust suggests a perfectly baked exterior, while the visible fillings like berries and herbs add a fresh and inviting touch. Overall, they seem like a charming accompaniment to tea or coffee, with a satisfying balance of flavor.
