Normal nia. The coconut juice tasted a bit artificial. The pearls were interesting, but I can live without them.

Golden, crispy perfection on a plate! Mum’s favourite pan-fried omelette with ample oysters that’s gloriously golden on the outside, flavoursome and oh-so-addictive. Palpably, one of the crispiest (and tastiest!) versions around.

Spring is upon us.
Back again for the second time; I am still amazed by their impeccable service and thoughtful menu. Na Oh’s latest 4-course prix fixe ($78) was a beautifully refined line-up. Still loving their signature starters, I enjoyed the silky Homemade Tofu with Aged Soy Sauce as well as the yummy (even better than I remembered) Buckwheat and Mugunji Jeon with their Salad of Today’s Harvested Lettuces immensely.
However, the final appetiser, which was the Ginseng Chicken Naengchae with Fresh Bamboo Shoot, and Minari was incredibly done. Think amazingly succulent poached chicken with savoury chilled pine nut sauce, crunchy sweet bamboo shoots. Charming, creamy and clean.
After which, diners can choose between three main courses from the ‘Jinjitsang’, each paired with delightful banchan (side dishes). I got the Spring Vegetable Bibimbap Cooked in Gamasot with Soup of Assorted Sprouts, served alongside Salted Pollock Roe and Sesame Leaf. And my mom got the Chilled Homemade Wheat Noodles with Crab and Brisket Beef Broth enriched with Soy Milk plated together Charcoal-Grilled Deodeok, Chonggak Kimchi.
A week’s worth of greens, the Bibimbap was so surprisingly good. Lots of textures and the spicy-sweet umami gochujang-based sauce tied everything together nicely. [Tau geh haters will not enjoy the soup with the set though.] As for the banchan, the marinated cucumber and lotus root coated in a blend of tofu, cashew nut and ‘ssuk’ Mugwort was lovely.
For dessert, the Misugaru and Cherry Ice Cream Sandwich was fragrant, nutty and tangy.

[A little embarrassed that I only got to visit their little takeaway bakeshop at HillV2 recently and am once again impressed by their selection.]
Cream Cheese Scallion & Sun-dried Tomato Madeleine ($4.90) - Didn’t enjoy this as much as I thought I would, probably because of the punchy cream cheese filling. The flavoured Madeleine was so good but I think I still lean towards the sweet filled madeleines.
Pistachio & Raspberry Madeleine ($5.20) with orange blossom glaze - Enjoyed the studded crushed nuts but wish there was a bright raspberry filling to give the bake more of an oomph.
Oolong Milk Tea Madeleine ($4.70) - Can’t go wrong with her ganache-filled Madeleine~ Rich, distinctive oolong milk tea flavour.
Lemon & Yuzu Madeleine ($4.90) - Amazingly tangy and vibrant curd in the center!
Feeling thirsty? Their Ya Shi Xiang Lemon Tea ($2.20) is sweet, zesty, and refreshingly chilled.
Famous Japanese Curry Cheese Bread Chain, Giraffa, Now in Singapore!? Have You Tried It Yet?
With three consecutive Gold Awards in the Curry Bread Grand Prix, you know they take their craft seriously.
The bread dough is chewy and carries a slight sweet milky flavour. It is airy and puffy on the inside with a pleasantly crisp exterior. The curry filling is a unique blend of 30 carefully selected spices, developed through multiple rounds of experimentation to achieve its deep, rich, and savoury profile. It also contains pork and beef, giving it a meaty texture. And, of course, the melted cheese adds an extra layer of savouriness, aesthetic appeal, and a playful cheese pull.
TBH, I found the filling inside the bun to be on the lighter side, possibly to maintain balance and prevent it from spilling out due to weight distribution. Still, I wish they provided more. The bun's crispy texture is specially formulated to achieve the right crunch, avoiding traditional breadcrumbs for a better bite.
The buns were originally priced at $5.60 each but are now available at $3.60. I find this price reasonable, but at the original price, I would think twice. That said, I wouldn't go out of my way just for them, but I might pick one up if I happen to be in the area.
Feeling thirsty? Their Ya Shi Xiang Lemon Tea ($2.20) is sweet, zesty, and refreshingly chilled.
I also agree with others regarding the individual eating paper bag (not the box). It has an unpleasant smell, almost like stale oil, which is quite off-putting. It could ruin the experience, so it’s best to skip the bag and eat it with your hands instead.
If you’re in the area, give it a shot and let me know what you think!

Love this upgrade set as it comes with mushrooms and Braised eggs on the side. I love the hand pulled noodles! Chef is skillful to make the noodles thin and chewy, a blend between mee hoon kueh and Knife-cut noodles. Mala version was not too spicy. Pleasantly surprised that it's halal! Delicious!
This might sound a little unexpected, but the highlight of our dinner at this popular hot pot place? The desserts! We’re completely obsessed with these golden, crispy sesame balls freshly fried to perfection [upon order], filled with the dreamiest sweet peanut 🥜 filling and made even better with a dip in creamy condensed milk. Pure. Dessert. Bliss. ❤️

Disappointingly sneaky. Staff said BB not available on weekends and claimed that the app is not updated. But nowhere on the app says it's not available on weekends and there's been reports of this from months back and no rectification has been made to the information available. Kind of sneaky of Chaffic. I get it if is not profitable for them to offer this discount on weekends but they should get BB to state it clearly in the app, not let the customer find out when paying.
Ah Bear Mookata boasts an impressive 4.8-star Google rating with nearly 700 reviews, setting high expectations for my visit.
The Highlights:
- Marinated Chicken: The star of the meal! Perfectly marinated, the marinade delivered bold, savory flavors that stood out.
- Squid Paste: Another winner— like sotong ball, but taste do much nicer
- Homemade Chili Dip: Beware, spice lovers! This fiery condiment packed a serious kick but balanced heat with tangy, savory depth, elevating every bite.
A small note: Opting for the Tom Yam soup base requires an additional $3 charge, but the fragrant, tangy broth is worth the upgrade for fans of Thai-inspired flavors.
NEXT SHIKAKU at Westgate—meat sushi was warm, broiled, and full of flavor. The clear oyster soup ramen had a clean, briny broth with firm hand-kneaded noodles, while the slow-cooked oyster broth ramen was rich and comforting. Unique oyster-based broths and solid execution make this spot worth a visit for something different.
The first OYSTER ramen store in Singapore, from Osaka Japan has opened at Westgate!
Got their special ramen set, which includes a bowl of ramen and two pieces of meat beef sushi! We tried the following two ramen:
-Slow-Cooked Oyster Broth (Koeru)
-Clear Soup Oyster Based Broth (Ikasu)
The ramen noodle is chewy, thick and flat! Broth was rice and umami packed! The meat beef sushi was melt in your mouth! The smoked egg is flavoured with white oak!
