For 1-for-1 Main Dish (save ~$6) Looking for a wide selection of authentic Taiwanese Cuisine? Check out The Voice for their mix of Taiwanese food that you can hardly find in Singapore. This popular eatery in PLQ Mall offers signature dishes like Braised Pork Rice Bento ($5.80), also commonly known as lu rou fan. Burppler Xing Wei Chua highly recommends it for "the sauce does create a light savoury note that gives moisture to the short-grain pearl rice beneath". Do try out their other classic dishes like Pork Intestine Mee Sua ($5.80), Chicken Cutlet ($4.80), Braised Pork Belly Bun ($3.80), Popcorn Chicken ($4.80), and more!

Unique drinks! I am obsessed with their drinks menu! 🤩 I really appreciate it when cocktails have a unique theme. The variety of cocktails they serve, each with a local twist to it really had me in awe. I ordered the Loquat Elixir ($24 // Happy Hour 5-8pm: $18). Honestly, it wasn’t my kind of drink but i thought the aesthetics of it was so pleasing that I just had to try. I guess it was going for the Pi Pa Gao inspiration? (which it did nail) Though it’s not for me, I can’t wait to try the other cocktails during my next visit!

Would definitely come again! 🤩 Ambience was stunning! 9/10 - Really liked the simple yet classic Peranakan theme. Food was amazing too! Overall: 8.5/10 Got the Laksa Lobster Linguine ($27) and the Rendang Beef Cheeks ($24) - supposed most popular dishes there. Portion wise was just nice! My friend and I shared both mains so we could enjoy more variety and we ended up finishing both plates. The laksa linguine is basically an elevated dry laksa - well executed! Rendang beef cheeks had the “melt in your mouth” effect - typical Peranakan achar and chilli on the side really complemented the flavours on the plate. (If you have Burpple premium, 1-1 mains deal is extremely worth it!) I was really looking forward to trying their Chendol Creme Brûlée dessert, unfortunately wasn’t able to as we were told they were out of stock. :( Perhaps, it was because we went on a Monday evening. Nevertheless, looking forward to my next visit here! Would love to explore the other dishes!

Date with the Devil ($24) This was extremely underwhelming - description said it comes with “a whiff of Angelica smoke for extra theatrical effects”, so we bought it thinking there’ll be some kinda smoke coming out from the cup. But when the staff opened the cover of the cup, there was nothing. 😂 it was extremely anticlimactic and we felt cheated of our money. Fortunately the taste of the drink was quite special. It tasted of red dates primarily, and a little bit of figs. I liked the sweet aftertaste of the wolfberry from the scotch, that was very unique. As for the Angelica smoke, I have no idea where the smoke is.. at least the cup looks fancy. Overall - wouldn’t recommend this drink unless you like the ingredients of it and are getting it just for its taste (or the cup?). Definitely not worth the price. Don’t order it expecting there to be some smoke for you to Instagram, because there was none, at least for us. I think we even have a video of the waitress opening the cover of the cup only to find nothing coming out. Guess my date with the devil didn’t go too well. Other than the drink… the ambience was great, I think the restaurant is done up beautifully and is a real treat for the eyes. The staff were very friendly as well. We visited on a Monday evening and wow the place was actually quite packed! I probably wouldn’t come back given the prices (and gosh the underwhelming cocktail really left a bad impression) but I guess it was a nice place to visit once since the food was good.

Crispy Croffle They have some really good and crispy croffle!! I love the flaky texture and it's just so fragrant and crispy! Used the Burpple waffles/croffles one for one. Also tried their pandan waffle, which requires additional top up, but it was not bad too!

For 1-for-1 Waffle/Croffle (save ~$5.50) Pop on over to this insta-worthy ice creamery, located on the second floor of Orchard Central, for a taste of specially curated gelatos and sorbet with a wide range of flavours to fit every taste bud. If you're up for an alcoholic ride, pair a scoop of their Mou Tai Liquor ($6.20) with their Crispy Waffles ($5.50) or go fruity with their Apple Crumble ($4.20) atop their light and airy Croffles ($5.50).

TwoBakeBoys Twobakeboys is a relatively new cafe in the Kampong Glam area. The lady boss (her story for setting up this cafe is really inspiring btw) came over to ask us how the cakes were, and judging from past google reviews, they’re very humble and willing to improve their standards. We used burpple 1-for-1 (damn value), and there are deals for takeaway - they give cute sauce packets to-go! This place is a gem in Bugis and you should drop by if you ever have a crepe cake craving 👍👍 . Taste: 3.5/5 Stonks: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 🤩🤩

Hojicha Crepe Cake Hojicha Crepe Cake ($8) 🍵🍰 A newly added item, the sweetness and smokiness of the hojicha was really brought out in the cream and that was a pleasant surprise! Our main gripe was that it was on the dry and denser side, and it seemed like it was lacking a hojicha sauce to really bring the wow factor

Thai Tea Crepe Cake 📍Twobakeboys (Bugis) . Thai Tea Crepe Cake ($8) 🧋🍰 Their signature thai tea crepe cake is SO GOOD that it’s to die for. The cake itself had a very gentle tea flavour and was slightly dry, until we luxuriously slathered the thai tea sauce all over it (swipe to watch us fail HAHA). You must pair them together for the best flavours and fun!

Umami Mentaiko Smoked Salmon Toast Really liked the Umami Mentaiko Smoked Salmon toast from @evanskitch! The various ingredients such as mentaiko, smoked salmon, chicken floss came together really well and made for a wonderfully cohesive dish, where each bite was creamy, umami, with some tanginess from the picked Japanese cucumber. Thank you @burpple for the invite and @evanskitch for the hospitality.

Light Nibbles If you're seeking out the lighter side of life & just looking for munchies, there are options here too. We nibbled through these dishes on the small bites menu: 🔸 Asian Chili Chicken Karaage ($12++) 🔸 Seasonal Fresh Truffles Parmesan Cheese Fries ($16++) Had some teas (both cold brewed & hot ones) while we made a toast to good health: 🔸 Amint Tea ($6.50++) 🔸 Empire Citrus Tea ($7.50++) & ended off with some sweet treats: 🔸 Aburi Pandan Coconut Cheese Cake ($12++) 🔸 Strawberries Bread Pudding & Vanilla Ice Cream ($11++) Thanks Burpple for the invite, & Evan's Kitch + Chef Evan for the hospitality! 💕 💳 Accepts credit cards 🌬 Air-conditioned seats only 🖥 Accepts reservations on Chope & Quandoo 🍽 Burpple Beyond Partner 📶 Free WiFi available

A Balanced Umami Salmon Toast Teeming with housemade japanese mentaiko & tobiko, the Umami Mentaiko Smoked Salmon Toast is where Chef Evan goes all out with his creativity here.. There's even chicken floss in this salmon dish!? Hand to heart, not sure how I feel about that.. .. But overall, the flavours came together fairly well. Umami came through from the salmon roe, brineyness from the smoked salmon itself, nicely poached nuyolk eggs & a sprinkle of scallions & furikake - on a crispy, toasted sliced of sourdough.

Crab Pomodoro Generous chucks of crab meat in this dish, but the spiciness is a tad too low for my liking. Good choice of comfort food, what can go wrong with a hearty plate of pasta! Recommended dish to try if you’re trying TAG for the first time :)

Rosti Average brunch dish, the eggs were perfectly cooked so I think that was the main star of the dish. Rosti was not really well seasoned. They have an extended menu, so maybe try something else first rather than this dish!

Sweet and Spicy Pork Bites $11++, Iced Honey Cabana $5++ This was a pretty unique dish and we decided to give it a go. It definitely didn’t disappoint as the pork bites were tender inside and crispy outside, and wasn’t fatty. It went really well with the sweet and spicy chili soy sauce along with the vegetables. The iced honey cabana was also interesting, with mango and pineapple flavours infused into this iced honey tea.

Pasta 1-for-1 Mezzi Rigatoni Amatriciana Aged Pork Cheek, Pecorino, Chilli, White Wine, Tomato Sauce

Crostata Al Cioccolato Morbido $16 Dreamily rich, the creamy soft chocolate tart was cradled in a crumbly and buttery short crust. And balance be damned, let's throw in a sinful streak of salted butter caramel to amp up the intensity as well. Reprieve came in the form of Amarena cherries, cutting through the heavy dessert with the lush, refreshing sweetness of syrup-soaked berries carrying a hint of bitterness. Taste: 3/5

Mezzi Rigatoni Amatriciana $28 The chilli, white wine and tomato sauce tangled with aged pork cheek packed a moreish, spicy punch, oozing from the cylindrical rigatoni which had a toothsome bite and served as the perfect vehicle for carrying the sauce. Dusted with shavings of pecorino, the combination was ebulliently umami. Taste: 3.5/5

lunch set ($17++) got the lunch set for $17++ and the burpple beyond deal! quite worth it as we saved around $12. the bowl of noodles isn't that big of a portion, but still very yummy nonetheless! the dumplings are really good too, we got the smoked duck and sichuan and it was vv yumz 😋😋 sichuan was pretty much chilli oil dumplings! would come back again ⭐️⭐️

2nd trip to dumpling darlings As a picky gymrat, I have a long list of restaurants that I would never go back and eat, but Dumplings Darlins is not and will never be among that list. Let’s start with the Noodles, they are just the right texture, more importantly the hold onto that lovely braised pork sauce like its life depended on it. Next, that braised pork and the sauce, the pork does not come in chunks, it comes shredded (RIP zyzz). Normally pulled pork or any meat would come out dry and stringy, but not this one because of the savory sauce. What can I say about the eggs they are great thats just because I like eggs. Moving on to the dumplings, starting with the original, the ratio of filling to skin is perfect. Personally, its a very average dumpling that I would not order again, because its average not because its not nice!!! The duck dumplings though, normally duck is not an easy protein because of its gaminess and texture, but the flavour of their duck was richer than Scrooge Mcduck combined with that takoyaki sauce and a slight mushroom flavour at the end. FRIED PEROGI DUMPLINGS, I have to leave a whole paragraph for that. I have never had a dish in my life at restaurants that I would go crazy and be excited to eat again, but this perogi changed my experience. The smooth creamy potato filling, and that well flavoured, not-too-salty bacon bits, drove me through a whole new experience. With that pink spicy sauce which I do not suggest eating alone cause it tastes like cheap nacho cheese, but when combined with that wonderful perogi, it was like the perfect touch, cherry on top of that cake. Macro wise, not very friendly, protein to carbs ratio is just nice nothing much to complain about. The overall taste experience, everything to compliment about. Overall rating, I can never execute a dish like this at home out of HAKATA RAMEN.

DUMPLING DARLINGS Sichuan pork noodles Braised pork noodles (×2) Duck dumplings Spicy sichuan dumplings Fried pierogi Ordered sets with drinks -- salted pulm(similar to herbal tea) , Grapefruit thyme green tea , logan osmanthus pu erh Total was quite a worth with 30% discount in total bills (100/100) Will be back again😇

Ngoh Hiang with Prawn Mee Recommend the traditional Ngoh Hiang as sides with the delicious prawn mee!

a must try for prawn noodle lovers! not only was the broth flavourful, the noodles were very good too! be sure to try their side dishes as it is really nice too!

Creamy Rich Prawn Noodles Ordered the soup version of the Supreme Prawn Noodles and I was shocked by how much meat there was in the broth. The broth is rich and flavorful while the meat portions were generous, consisting of clams, pork ribs, prawn balls, fresh prawns and shabu shabu. We have also ordered 豆干 and 猪肉五香 to go with the prawn noodles. The 猪肉五香was crispy and goes well with the sweet sauce provided. Walked away from this place with a really full and satisfied stomach. Definitely one of the best prawn noodles I tried in Singapore. Will definitely visit again!! 10/10

ok ok only ordered the miso carbonara & the grass fed ribeye, both $21 before GST, no service charge. with burpple, sarnies is pretty affordable! the miso salmon carbonara was quite tasty & creamy + the pasta was al dante, although i wouldn't recommend eating the whole plate yourself. the ribeye was disappointing from the get go - the steak was thin & so unimpressionable. there was large fatty layer that was really 🤢 but other than that it's passable, for maybe a 5/10. for the portion of the steak i probably would not order it ever again even if i were craving but i wouldn't mind coming back for other items on the menu becauae the staff are really friendly & helpful. the al fresco dining was also really nice & chill except that it's right by the road so you may not like that (exhaust fumes & road dust!!)

Underwhelming Chicken Parmigiana Ordered the Chicken Parmigiana ($18) for a quick lunch. A very generous portion that won’t leave you hungry. However, the chicken was too under seasoned for my tastes, and the dominant flavour was the cheese rather than the expected medley of tomato sauce, cheese, and chicken. Additionally, the chicken was on the tougher side (slightly overcooked) and breading was not as crispy as I’d hoped. There’s certainly room for improvement.

Weekend Brunch Ordered a Fry Up ($25) & Truffle Scramble Eggs ($24). Food was 2.5/5. Sour dough was really hard, mushrooms seems to be boiled & not stir fried. The scramble eggs is not even seasoned. Maybe the dinner menu will be a better choice.

The Assembly Ground🍔🍟 Went to The Assembly Ground last week and used burpple beyond deal of 1 for 1 mains😇 I ordered their B Supreme Plus Burger ($23) and a Umami Roasted Chicken Pizza ($23). Total bill came out to be about $27 after gst (very affordable) and I really enjoyed the food there☺️ Burger & curly fries were soooo good and the umami pizza tasted like takoyaki🤣 Overall ratings 10/10 as it is really worth the burpple deal, staff were very friendly and ambience is very chill. Would definitely visit again!!😁👍🏻

The Assembly Ground 3.75⭐ Came to The Assembly Ground as I feel like having western brunch and we are also catching a movie later. Ordered the Assembly Brunch and there's a choice of smoked salmon or bacon. WB change his mind 3 times and finally decided on the chicken burger. The portion is huge and we are so full from the brunch. Typical brunch pricing but with the 1 for 1 burpple deal, it's so worth. #TheAssemblyGround #TheAssemblyBrunch #BomChikaWowWow #BurppleBeyond

BURRATA PIZZA Thin crust pizza with garlic parsley chimichurri, capsicum & tomato pesto; simple yet taste surprisingly light; ingredients complement well with 1 another; taste elevated with the addition of burrata; a must-try..
