Welcome to West, Singapore.

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.

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!

Went to Bebek Goreng Pak Ndut for dinner and it did not disappoint! We had the Signature Fried Duck and Signature Chicken—both crispy and juicy, just how I like it. The Oxtail Stew was super flavourful, not too spicy, just right. Also tried the Tahu Goreng, and it was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside—perfect to go with the mains.

Food was hearty and satisfying, and service was spot on. If you're in the area and craving good Indonesian food, this place is definitely worth a visit. I'll be back for sure!

XY: I love their curry sauce. Sometimes I get cravings for their fillet O fish or mcspicyy.

Had a great dinner at Bebek Goreng Pak Ndut! We went for the Signature Fried Duck and Signature Chicken, and both were crispy and juicy—definitely hits. The Oxtail Stew was rich and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice. We also tried the Tahu Goreng, which was crispy on the outside and soft inside, a perfect side dish.

The food was comforting and satisfying, and the service was great. If you're in the mood for some really good Indonesian food, this place is definitely worth a visit. I’ll be back for sure!

Mixed beehoon and noodles, with curry veges + taiwan sausage + chicken wing. Total $5.70. Noodles were great, but the beehoon was soaked in the curry gravy so I regret choosing the curry, though the curry vege itself was delicious. Sausage and chicken wing was normal. Quite overpriced I would say, and nothing outstanding.
