Blu Kouzina has been a place that I've been wanting to try out for years. Situated in a plush residential area on Bukit Timah Road. It's white and blue colours gives a very comfortable and friendly vibe. I've always seen groups of friends sharing a hearty meal together spiced with Greek food.

 
The first floor dining area is more of an open concept with a view of the kitchen and the main Bukit Timah road. The upstairs dining area is air conditioned and is more spacious, capable of seating dining groups of 10pax. The walls are painted blue and the chairs and tables are wooden painted in white. There's a lot of daylight that comes in through the main windows facing Bukit Timah Road.

 

 
Looking at the menu, they have very interesting offerings, such as grilled seafood platters, with the *hint that the fresh fish are from greece. The prices were pretty reasonable too. Here at Blu Kouzina, they place high importance on their extra virgin olive oil as it is their family's signature recipe!

 
For appetiziers, though I could barely pronounce the menu item names, the description were clear and it was pretty easy to make a decision.

 
Check out the dessert menu on the right. Items like Baklava is always a must at a greek restaurant. Other items like Galaktoboureko and Bougatsa were new to me.

Every table gets complimentary bread and go crazy with the olive oil!!

 
The bread itself was yeasty and had a nice salty flavour to it. The olive oil brought about a nice fruity flavour and aroma that leaves me mouth wanting for more!

1. Talagani Saganak $18.80++

 
We decided to go out of our comfort zone and try something new. This is sheep milk cheese from Messinia topped with blu sauce. The portion may look seemingly small, but do not be fooled. The cheese is quite thick and dense. Two wedges of this and I was quite good!

 
The edges of the cheese had a slight charring and was sometimes crispy, almost flaky. The cheese itself didn't smell too cheesey, which I was afraid of. Instead it had a mild sweet aroma and each bite was soft and chewy, almost like biting into a cheese stuffed bun. It was an interesting experience. Do give it a try!

2. Mousaka $27.80++ *Highly Recommended* 6 STARS!!!

 
Can I give this item 6 stars? It's the best Mousaka I have ever tried hands down, and this is not my first time trying it! A mousaka consists of oven baked eggplant with potatoes, minced meat and bechamel sauce. It came in a piping hot bowl with a very flat and smooth surface, off the top of the potatoes. You could see the slightly burnt edges, which were my personal favourite as it was slightly crisp!

 
Check out the eggplant~! They were generous with the ingredients. The eggplant were so soft and moist, it had all the flavour from the minced meat. The skin of the eggplant had a nice silky texture to it too. Eaten together with the extremely flavourful and almost cotton candy styled mash potatoes, I was in heaven! Or Greece! Or Greek Heaven?!

 
The minced meat was very tender, and you could tell it was well seasoned, fresh and alot of effort was taken into preparing this dish. Not all mousakas I've tried had such soft and tender minced meat, most had clumped up meat, being that it is seated at the bottom of the bowl.

3. Kalamaki Souvlak $15.80++

 
Beef kalamaki served with fresh onion, sliced tomato, in-house bread and lemon. After a very appetizing and excellent 6 star start of the lunch, this turned out to be just average and didn't quite WOW us like the other dishes. The beef had lots of juices, but the meat just tasted normal and I was contemplating not finishing this dish.

 
I did like their in-house bread which was more like a toasted garlic bread that had a very biscuity texture. For the price, I think this is one of their cheapest main courses.

4. Xtapodi Sxaras $29.80++ *HIGHLY RECOMMENDED*

 
You know that Blu Kouzina works with the freshest of ingredients, some especially flown from Greece when you try this grilled octopus. It's like no other octopus I've tried. It is so tender, almost like a juicy chicken breast!

 
This was a huge octopus piece, this blew our mind as we did not envision this! We starteed to slice up the octopus tail and stunningly, we realized how tender the meat was as you could literally cut it all up with a butter knife! The octopus had a very subtle flavour and aroma, but you could distinctly taste and smell the grilled goodness.

 
5. Desserts (Complimentary)

 
Galaktoboureko - Filo pastry filled with semolina cream filing and topped with homemade syrup
Apple with Cinnamon & Green Thyme Honey - The apple slices were crunchy and the cinnamon gave a very sweet fragrance to the apple. The honey was sticky and a bit too sweet for my liking, but after trying the Baklava, this honey was just perfect!

 
Baklava - Filo pastry filled with walnuts and topped with Blu Kouzina's homemade syrup. I usually shy away from Baklava as it's too sweet for my liking, but this wasn't the case here. The flaky pastry was so flaky, I had difficulty trying to fork it! But the pastry melted in my mouth in an instant, before my mind started to realized there were chunks of walnuts embedded inside this sweet and delicious Baklava!

 
Bougatsa - Filo pastry filled with semolina cream filing, served hot with powered and icing sugar and cinnamon. This pastry was indeed hot, you could feel it as I held up this plate in the palm of my hand. The cream filing oozed out and literally dissolved in my mouth! It was perfect, a great bread of sweetness and warmth

Overall : Blu Kouzina will take you through a short, enjoyable and memorable trip to Greece. The food will not disappoint you! Be bold and try something Greek!! Service was excellent as the staff were very attentive and food came out in a timely manner

The Burger Project! Smile Jan 26, 2016   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : American | Burgers and Sandwiches

 
South Bronx is located on the ground floor of POMO, facing the main road. It is owned by the same people behind Montana and Fabulous Dough.  Hence, you can order food from Montana and fabulous dough and enjoy them along with burgers from South Bronx!

 
Looking at their menu, they have kept it pretty simple with about 7 savoury burgers, 4 dessert burgers, a couple of side options and drinks. Their burgers aren't your typical fast food burgers. They have home made patties with their freshly baked potato buns. Fries are also sold seperately. Interesting items that stood out, were Umami burger with a beef patty with miso mushroom and bonito flakes, The Mac Daddy with jalapeno and mac and cheese (sounds like a burger version of Montana's wafflelized version of Mac and Cheese) and Lemongrass Prawn with green curry mayo!

 

 
Their ice cream burgers are truly interesting and definitely a "project" to try them all! Red velvet with hazelnut rocher icecream, coconut nutella sauce. Black sesame with green tea ice cream and azuki beans with white chocolate sauce and the one I came here for, Thai Iced Tea! It sure looks like South Bronx is utilizing the same key and signature ice cream flavours from Montana, since everything comes from the same centralized kitchen! Not a bad choice if you ask me!

 
The interior of South Bronx is pretty laid back and really made for the young hipster crowd. Vibrant and colour graffiti all over the walls and the stools are in a bright green colour that helps cheer up the whole location. The high ceiling rises up towards Fabulous Dough.

1. Lemongrass Prawn $10.90+ add $4+ for a drink and triple fries

 
The faintly toasted bun was sweet and spongy mainly due to the green curry mayo. The sweetness of the bun paired with the lack of beefy and savory notes led to a sweet burger that was filled with a familiar lemongrass flavour. You could midly taste the prawns in the patty, the green curry mayo was more distinct. The bun would have worked with a thicker and well seasoned  prawn patty.

 
I could definitely foresee alot of customer thinking of the MOS burger's Ebi rice burger, but this patty isn't as floury and crisp as MOS. Think of a McChicken with prawns all mashed up together, that's what you get. I did like the bun and the sauces together with the prawn patty. A truly unique and fusion burger!

2. Southern fried chicken wings $6.80+

 
I had their southern fried chicken wings back in december prior to South Bronx's offiial opening and since then, their wing recipe seems to have improved. The skin of the chicken is still crispy and non-oily, but the digging in, the chicken meat seems to be juicier and tender.

 
I liked the dip for the chicken wings, it was slightly tangy and sweet all at the same time. They did a great job preventing the chicken wings from being too dry!

3. Fried Mac and Cheese Fritters $8+

 
I always recall my time in the US, where I had fried mac n cheese bites from a local petrol station on a weekly basis and I'm glad that South Bronx has their own rendition of fried mac and cheese fritters. Rolled up into a ball and served with the familiar Tomato relish dip (the same dip served at Montana with the Mac n Cheese Waffles)

 
Be generous be the sauce as it adds necessary the saltiness to the fritter. These fritters definitely hit the spot for me, but on another note, when you poke open the fritter, everything falls out. One would've expected the cheese to gel all the macaroni together, but I think there's a lack of cheese in each fritter, to give it the "cheesey texture"

 
The batter on the outside of the fritter stayed crispy while the inside stayed moist! This is probably my recommended side at South Bronx! Or if you prefer a wafflelized version, top up $4.50 more to get the Mac and Cheese waffle from Montana smile

4. Thai Iced Tea Ice Cream Burger $5.90+ *Highly Recommended*

 
I loved Thai Iced Tea, and even more so, in an ice cream form. This was an interesting creation, ice cream sandwiches but using South Bronx's burger buns instead! The ice cream scoop was pretty big and the buns were slightly smaller than their savoury burger buns. The buns seemed to be frozen or rather, slightly too hard for my liking.

 
The butter buns with layered with mango white chocolate sauce  before the thai iced tea ice cream was sandwiched in between. It's a rather instagrammable dish. Definitely a dish that would be a hit with young girls with a sweet tooth!

5. The Bronx $9.90+

 
The burger was juicy, and this was re-enforced by the moist, dense, potato bun that is made freshly at South Bronx. The burger patty was just firm enough to linger on the palate and hold its own! It didn't really squish and flatten out when held up. The sauces were pretty juicy, but the patty didn't have a strong beefy taste as I would've expected.

 
The bun was exactly what I hoped it would be...dense, moist, chewy, savory, slightly sweet...you know, like a puck of satisfying soft bun goodness.

 
I would definitely head back to South Bronx for more ice cream burgers and since I can order food from Montana, these ice cream burgers go superbly well with the Cold Brew Coffee from Montana! You're basically spoilt for choice at South Bronx when it comes to burgers, there's something for everyone, even if you're not a beef eater!

Overall : Interesting burger projects, both savoury and sweet. Reasonable prices and convenient central location.

Categories : Café | Desserts and Cakes | Halal

 
Located in bukit merah central, at a HDB shophouse is Butterscotch. It is a halal cafe that offers typical hipster cafe food with some interested baked and sweet treats!

 
I couldn't help eyeballing the sweet treats in the cake display. They had ondeh ondeh cupcakes too!

 
They sell churros too! They seriously have a wide variety of desserts, more so than mains! But their dining area seats about 20 pax at most. Not a very big dining area, and the tables by the walls are quite cramped. They only have one large dining table which I dined at with a party of 5.

 
1. Smoked Salmon Egg Benedict $16+

 
Smoked salmon on brioche toast with poached eggs. Sadly the toast wasn't exactly toasted. The texture was soft and not crispy at all. It was more of a soggy toast before I had even popped opn the poached eggs. But they were generous with the smoked salmon, which was the highlight of the dish!

2. Chilli Crab Cake Burger $14+

 
This was slightly too spicy for me as I usually don't take spicy foods. But the crab cake patty was nice and thick! The sauce itself was very flavourful and aromatic!

 
Crab cake served with wedges and salad topped with signature chilli crab sauce. Not many places in Singapore serve crab cakes and they're not that easy to make, the trick is to use fresh crab meat. But living in Singapore, we have to be realistic here. Crabs aren't cheap, mostly imported and I can't expect a HDB downstairs cafe to be able to deliver perfect crab cakes. So I was content with this, but definitely an eye-opener seeing this served here. Wished more cafes had the same innovativeness! This is the best way to eat chilli crab without the mess!

3. Chicken Chop with Eggs $16+

 
Grilled chicken chop thigh with mushroom sauce served with wedges and coleslaw. Top up $2 for 2 sunny side ups for that extra oomph.  This is quite a huge portion even for 1 pax. But then again the price reflects it's portion size. The menu recommended to pair this dish with the rather expensive $6.50+ root beer and so we did.

 
Sadly though, the root beer tasted just like any canned root beer and it was a complete disappointment as it really didn't go that well with the grilled chicken chop.

Nonetheless, the chicken was tender and juicy, and the mushroom sauce was yummy!

4. Ramly meets Wendy Burger $14+

 
A twist to the famous ramly burger - beef patty wrapped in an omelette served with shitake mushrooms, wedges and tomatoes. This was an alright burger, nothing to rave about. Get the chilli crab burger instead.

5. Ondeh Ondeh Waffles $12+ *highly recommended*

 
Pandan waffles served with ice cream topped with coconut flakes and gula melaka sauce. Probably my no.1 waffles as a self declared waffle evangelist. GO TRY IT! It's worth the effort of travelling down to Bukit Merah! The waffles had a slight fragrance of Pandan but once, placed into your mouth. You brain deciphers that this is a taste of coconut heaven with gula melaka sauce. Okay the ice cream was vanilla, but with the gula melaka sauce, it kind of tricks your brain into thinking it's a gula melaka ice cream.

 
The ice cream itself was smooth and creamy, with a consistent  texture. The ice cream survived my rather long phototaking session. It was a champ!

6. Butterscotch Souffle with Vanilla ice cream $14+

 
Waiting time was 30-45mins. The souffle smelt great upon arrival at our table, but sadly once we dug in, we realized it was literally pure liquid inside. Maybe it wasn't baked long enough? I've only have Souffle experiences in Japanese-chain dessert/coffee places so unless those were the bad experiences. This was a first for me!

 
It was literally an eggy drink. But the top layer stayed crispy enough to give you a slight bite!

7. Cheesy Wedges $9+

 
Their cheesey wedges were great! Even for an appetizer, I had to control myself from finishing off this entire plate by myself! The cheesy viscosity of the sauce was PERFECT!

 
For the location that they are in, I feel that their prices are abit high. But the service seemed alright. It was also partially self service, as you had to go and grab your water, and also walk up to the cashier to make payment.

The food here has some hits and misses. But the ondeh ondeh waffles is enough to bring me back again!

Located at Salute is Jack Ripper. They pride themselves with made from scratch burgers with juicy and calorie overdose burgers and milkshakes! They have a wide variety of burgers, with beef, fish, chicken and even pork for non-beef eaters!

 
I love their presentation of the menu what gives you a breakdown of their innovative and delicious burgers. Burgers are no longer just a round slab of meat sandwiched between two buns. Here at Jack Ripper, they even create their own sauces such as maple syrup and dijon mustard to become maple mustard. Pretty ingenius in my opinion!

One thing to note about all the 3 burgers is that their brioche buns were amazing! All of them had aa stronger crisp and stayed crispy throughout my prolonged photo-taking session and they were also fluffy on the inside. The buns itself had flavour and taste.

1. SoCal Guacamole $18

 
All natural beef, cheddar, creamy-rich guacomole, jalapeno, tomato, avocao and alfafa sprouts. The creamy guacamole is what made me like this burger! The beef patty was the same as the ripper's classic so check below!

2. Ripper's Classic $16

 
All natural beef, Jack's sauce, Cheddar cheese, romaine lettuce, tomato and onion. The cheese here was oozing with all it's glory and it did not disappoint. The beef patty was juicy but didn't actually have a strong taste. I felt that it was a little too bland for my liking. The pork patty in the swine and roses faired much better. But at least, the beef patty was soft and tender, showcasing the quality of beef used as well as their effort in preparation!

 
Paired with a milkshake, these burgers are hard to resist!

3. Swine & Roses $18 *MUST TRY!*
BEST BURGER!

BEST BURGER!

 
Pork stuffed with safe and apple, cheddar cheese, maple mustard, lettuce and deep fried onions. I used to think that the only pork burger I would ever like are pulled pork burgers, if it has a patty, it should be a beef patty. But this burger changed me completely! The pork patty was so juicy and flavourful. It was oozing was pork juices everytime I tried to bite into it! The apple slices were amazingly sweet and yet crunchy. The thickness of the apples slices were perfect! The maple mustard sauce also gave this savoury burger a slight sweetness to it! I really really really enjoyed this burger!

4. Dark Chocolate Milkshake $8.50

 
I love my sinful milkshakes and I love them even more when they're super thick and creamy that you can barely drink it up with a straw. I watched the staff scoop ice cream, scoop after scoop and toss them into a blender and TA-DA! You have your $8.50 milkshake. I must admit, the prices are high for their drinks but you would probably want to share a milkshake with a friend.

5. Matcha Milkshake *MUST TRY!*

 
As a matcha lover, I was over the top when I heard that they had a matcha milkshake that wasn't listed on their menu. I guess they're expanding their milkshake offerings? The green tea flavour in here was evident but the sweetness of the ice cream was stronger! Making this a very sweet matcha milkshake which was PERFECT for my sweet tooth!~

 
6. Cookies n cream milkshake

 
Served with cookie crumbs on the top is this cookies and cream milkshake. By the time this milkshake arrived. I was so full from all the food, my tummy was exploding but I couldn't give up this cookies and cream milkshake. The creamy texture was on point and there was a good balance of cookies to ice cream in this milkshake too!

 
I am not a carb lover so I didn't really enjoy the fries, but they were very generous with it!

 
Jack Ripper also carries imported beers!

Overall : Jack the Ripper has the right ideas for the ingredient combinations that redefines the enjoyment value of burgers. Just wished that they could do better on the basic All Beef patties.

Waffles Redefined! Smile Jan 11, 2016   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Fusion | Café

 
Montana Brew Bar known for it's Southern Chicken Waffle, Red Velvet waffles and Green Tea Waffles has now moved to the second floor, with a completely revamped menu and concept.

 
Montana Singapore serves pasta, savoury and sweet waffles as well as coffee and beer.

South Bronx located on the ground floor, serves up American comfort classic style burgers.

Right above South Bronx is Fabulous Dough which serves up sweet donuts. Upon closer inspection of their menu, you will notice interesting items never seen before at other eateries, such as Jalapeno Mac & Cheese Waffle, Assam Crab Waffle, Bulgogi Beef Waffle and more! The menu has enough reasons to explain that Montana seeks to seriously stand out!

It's a 3 in 1 F&B outlet that serves sweet and savoury and 15 over beers. A truly ingenius idea to capture a wide array of taste buds.Here's the cafe facing the escalators. Once you walk in, on your left you will see Fabulous Dough and down the stairs, you will arrive at South Bronx.

1. Jalapeno Mac & Cheese Waffle $12

 
One of their first savoury waffles that attracted me to Montana about 10 months ago. This is a waffle-ised jalapeno Mac and Cheese topped with white truffle oil that gives it that sharp truffle aroma. Together with the tomato relish and jalapeno cheese dip, this has brought this dish to the next level.

 
I believe their recipe has differed from the last time I tried it as I was able to taste the mac and cheese more distinctly this time. It is no longer dry but rather you can also taste the cheese mixture inside the waffle. The sauce gave it a slight more sourish and salty oomph needed to bring out the flavour in the macaroni and cheese waffle.

2. Assam Crab Waffle $18 *Highly Recommended*

 
Probably my no.1 favourite waffle at Montana. Inspired by Kedah Laksa, this Assam spiced waffle is served with seasoned crab meat and pineapple cucumber laksa. The waffle itself isn't spicy at all, which one would've expected considering, this dish is inspired by Kedah Laksa. Nevertheless, this dish was still able to capture the essence of the laksa aroma and taste. The crab meat tasted freshly and were generously served!

3. Bulgogi Beef Waffle $16

 
This was a very interesting waffle, with a mix of Gochujang rice waffle with Sous Vide Bulgogi beef which was very tasty. Served with an orange sesame coleslaw, sous vide poached egg and spring onions. The poached egg was perfectly poached to place this dish as an "instagrammable" waffle. The waffle itself was slightly chewy due to the rice mixed into the batter.

4. Truffle Egg Fettuccine $16

 
Served with a sunny side up, the truffle taste was subtle, but the mushrooms gave it the right flavour. Not the most spectacular dish on their menu, but if you are a mushroom lover and craving for pasta, this can satisfy your needs!
5. Vodka Crab Penne $16

 
Another interesting dish on the menu was their Vodka Crab Penne. I love penne as it's one of the easiest pasta to eat, just spoon or fork each penne. No need for messy twirling of spaghetti noodles. They used sufficient cheese in the sauce to give each penne a strong cheese aroma.

 
I couldn't really taste any vodka or cheese, but this dish was to my liking.
6. Black Velvet Waffle $14

 
One waffle dish that has been flooding instagram is this black velvet waffle. It is a chocolate coated vanille ice cream scoop. Served on top of a black sesame waffle. You have a choice of big crunch (crispy) or fluffy. I choose the big crunchy as I like crispy waffles. But sadly, even though the ice cream didn't drench through the waffle, I still felt that the waffle could be crispier. The Jalapeno mac and cheese waffle was definitely crispier than this waffle.Black Velvet Waffle
With vanilla ice cream

With vanilla ice cream

 
TA-DA! Check out the vanilla ice cream beneath the chocolate coat. It's almost like a "Kinder Surprise" vanilla ice cream!

7. Mocha

 
Pumped up with a double shot, this mocha definitely kept me going though the night! You can easily taste the chocolate fused with the coffee in this drink.

8. Yuzu Infused Coconut Cold Brew $7.80

 
A very interesting creation, is their yuzu infused coconut cold brew. The yuzu provided a very sour taste but together with the cold brew, you get a bitter aftertaste. Definitely a drink to give you a slight kick in the mid-day hot afternoon.

 
I actually enjoyed this cold brew, despite not really being able to taste the coconut.
Montan also has a wide array of imported draft beers. So you can bring the boys out for a chill out session, along with sweet and savoury waffles for the ladies.

10. Gula Melaka Cold Brew $6.80 *Highly recommended*

 
Probably the greatest reason for me to return other tha ingenius waffle creations is this gula melaka cold brew. I love coffee but I like it even more with a familiar gula melaka taste! The coffee is bitter but gives you the energy kick you need. Along with a round spherical ice cube which I had fun twirling it around in the drink!

 
It was a very refreshing drink as it was chilled to the right temperature and I slowly sipped it up and was contented with ordering it!

11. Organic Lemon Lime & Bitters $6.50

 
Another chilled and refreshing drink that had a zesty lemon lime taste to it. Imported from New Zealand, this was my first time trying it and it is indeed bitter. Which was very surprising to me!

12. Red Velvet Waffles $12.50 *Highly recommended*
Crispy waffles with strawberry shortcake ice cream

Crispy waffles with strawberry shortcake ice cream

 
For all crispy waffle lovers out there, try this! A new rendition of Montana's signature red velvet waffle stack. The waffles are crispy and has a strong bandung aroma. Along with their new strawberry short cake ice cream which has biscuit crumbs embedded into the ice cream.

 
The ice cream itself wasn't too sweet and they were very generous with the ice cream scoops! The ice cream went well with the crispy red velvet waffles and I couldn't imagine a better waffle experience then this. This is a MUST TRY!

13. Seafood Paella Waffle $18

 
Another interesting creation is their seafood paella waffles. Topped with corn, prawns and chorizo sausage.  The waffle is made with paella rice and served witha  spicy sherry cream sauce!

 
The waffle itself unlike the bulgogi rice waffle is crispier. The sauce provided was creamy like a sweet mayo kind of sauce. The corn was over flowing and there wasn't much prawns or chorizo sausage. I felt that they definitely have the idea going on, but something else needs to be done. I really couldn't taste the paella rice in the waffle.

15. Pesto Chicken Penne $14 *Highly Recommended*

 
My favourite penne dish from Montana. They was so much shredded chicken in the pasta. It was very flavourul with the pesto sauce that wasn't too thick or diluted. It was perfect! The penne texture was on point too!

 
The portion was decently sized, definitely too big for myself, but great for a hungry person. I didn't feel gerlat at all, eating this huge bowl of penne. Unlike the Vodka crab penne which I had trouble tasting the vodka or crab. This pesto chicken penne guarantees you the flavour of pesto and chicken in every mouthful!

After 3 visits to Montana and trying 15 items, here's my verdict :

Montana has done a great job bringing so many different elements together, food, drinks, ambience and they are very open to feedback, which is probably the reason to their major shifts from their humble beginings.
