Al dente fettuccine coated in a thick, creamy, and umami-rich sauce bursting with deep oceanic flavours and a hint of onion and garlic for added aroma. The cream sauce is marvellously indulgent, with a rich seafood essence that makes each bite irresistibly delicious. The prawns are exceptionally fresh and bouncy, adding a tastisfying texture to the dish. Finishing the noodles is just the beginning, this is the kind of sauce that makes you want to lick the plate clean.

This fusion pizza offers a unique blend of flavours from various culinary influences, giving you a taste of several cuisines in a single bite. It features a tomato base topped with onions, capsicum, chilli, mozzarella, smoked duck, duck sauce, and bonito flakes. The first bite might leave you wondering about the flavour mix, but subsequent bites draw you in as the pizza’s bold flavours come together. The rich taste of smoked duck and duck sauce dominates, slightly overshadowing other ingredients like the bonito flakes, yet the overall taste remains delicious. I enjoyed the thin, crispy crust, which added a tastisfying crunch.

Tender squid coated in crispy batter, lightly dusted with chili powder and served with tartar sauce. The texture was nice, though the flavour was a bit bland, as the chilli powder was barely noticeable. Thankfully, the tartar sauce provided a flavourful boost.

Thick-cut crunchy fries seasoned with peppercorn, Sichuan chilli, and garlic, offering a tolerable level of spiciness without excessive oil.

A refreshing twist on the classic margarita, this drink combines the light crispness of Corona beer with the bold flavours of Tequila and Triple Sec, enhanced by a tangy sweet-and-sour mix. Each sip begins with a burst of fizzy Corona, invigorating the palate, followed by the robust, smooth notes of tequila and the citrusy sweetness of triple sec. The sweet-and-sour mix adds a perfect tang, leaving a clean, crisp finish with just the right amount of tartness.

This cocktail is a blend of Rum, Malibu Rum, Blue Curacao, Pineapple, and Orange juice. It offers a vibrant sweetness with a slight tang. The first sip brings a tropical and citrusy vibe, and as you continue, the creamy Malibu Rum adds a rich coconut flavour to the fruity base. The Blue Curacao contributes a hint of bitter orange peel, balancing the sweetness, while the rum rounds it off with a warm, smooth finish and a gentle alcoholic kick.

[Jurong East, Singapore 🇸🇬]

Recently I discovered this hidden gem in the west side. The place was located just a short walk from the Jurong East MRT station. There’s indoor air con and outdoor al fresco dining area. We ended at the al fresco dining area, which was surprisingly cooling. The restaurant cum bar offered a good range of signature cocktails, fine wines and fresh draft beers to accompany gourmet western cuisine.

Parmesan Truffle Fries (S$13.80++)
Served with homemade truffle mayonnaise
The dish smell so delicious when served that the next table immediately ordered one too.

Gouda Cheese Stick (S$14.90++)
This was eaten while still pipping hot ‘cos the cheese will be stretchy.

Hawaiian Pizza (S$19++)
Honey baked ham and pineapple

Smoky Bacon Carbonara Fettuccine (S$20.20++)
Sautéed bacon, onion and garlic in cream sauce

Raspberry & Lychee Mojito (S$15++)
Rum, raspberry, mint, lychee, mojito mint sugar & soda

YC Sweet Poison (S$18++)
Rum, Malibu rum, blue curacao, pineapple and orange

Overall the place was ideal for date nights and and group gatherings, as it offered a chic and cozy atmosphere. Plus the service here was exceptional good. Although the place was packed, service was swift.

McDonald’s had surely gotten our attention with the release of their latest limited time-only flavour of their soft-serve — folks whom have followed us for quite a while would have probably known how much we are a fan of the seasonal Purple Sweet Potato Waffle Cone that had made its appearance on the menu of McDonalds’ Singapore outlets at least twice in the past couple of years; probably one of our favourite limited time-only soft-serve releases of all time from the Golden Arches. It seems that McDonald’s had decided to bring the Purple Sweet Potato soft-serve back yet again after quite a hiatus, though its return this time round sees it coming in a slightly different format. While the previous runs of the Purple Sweet Potato Waffle Cone saw the soft-serve coming in a black waffle cone that is different from the cones that they serve with their standard Vanilla Cone, its current rendition does see it come with that same exact cone that accompanies their Vanilla Cone. With that said, the current run of the Purple Sweet Potato Cone has also seen a decrease of its pricing at $1.20 per cone instead of the $2.20 that it used to command when it came with the black waffle cone.

It may not be outrightly obvious to those whom are exposed to the Purple Sweet Potato Cone for the very first time, but those whom have had it in the previous runs with the black colour waffle cone might be able to tell the difference in the shade of purple that the current iteration of the Purple Sweet Potato Cone as compared to what had been previously served in the past — the current version comes in a lighter shade. As we went straight for the soft-serve, we could definitely feel that there was a difference in the overall quality in its current rendition as well — while the sweetness of the sweet potato is indeed the first thing that pulls through here, there was kinda a lack of depth in flavours when compared to the previous versions where the earthiness that made the flavour so notable seemed to have been lost. The finishing notes of the current iteration felt creamier and milky — similar to the Vanilla Cone with the flavours of the purple sweet potato dying out over time. We did recall a denser texture with soft-serve in the previous iteration of the Purple Sweet Potato Waffle Cone, but this one did feel a little lighter and airier; also closer to that of the Vanilla Cone. Overall, the current iteration of the Purple Sweet Potato Cone seem to have gone through some tweaks that made it feel it has lost the magic of what it was previously (which also felt more like a premium product) — really hope that they could look into recreating the Purple Sweet Potato soft-serve into what it used to be if they decide to bring this flavour back again some time in the future!

The Cajun Chicken Chop is so much better than the steak I had previously.

Cajun Chicken Chop was well marinated, expertly grilled with charred edges. Chicken was tender and juicy.

Sides servings were very generous.

Jumbo Sausage was nothing special, just fillers.
