My friend and I came here for the Signature Blackball dessert that many have been telling us about. The layout of the dessert looks enticing but when we started eating it, we were disappointed by the quality of the sweet potato and yam balls. They are not as chewy as other brands that are available in Singapore. An only redeeming point is the quality of the pearls which are chewy and delicious, which definitely goes well with the dessert.…Read More

This Astons outlet located in The Cathay is conveniently located for people who are looking for a good meal before or after a movie. My favourite is the black pepper steak that also comes with 2 sides. The amount of black pepper sauce on the steak is generous. Among all the sides, I will recommend the Macaroni and Cheese for cheese lovers like me. The service is generally okay.…Read More

This is the restaurant that many Singaporeans and tourists visit for the Black Pepper and Chilli Crabs. It used to taste good and was my favourite place to enjoy the dishes. However, on my recent visits, I realised that the service is very poor (hasn't been great all along) and the crabs that they served have not been as fresh as those served elsewhere. The crab that me and my friends had was watery on the inside and seemed that it hasn't been cooked thoroughly. We have found a better crab place since then and won't be visiting this restaurant anymore.…Read More

Piping hot chicken wings served straight to your table has got to a great perk of dining at this hawker centre. During peak hours, the wait can be up to half an hour or even more, completely demonstrating the popularity of these delicious goodness. The chicken wings are fragrant and well-marinated and the chilli that comes with it has just that bit of spicy kick that leaves you craving for more.…Read More

The fried prawn dish (炒虾煎） is an alternative to the traditional fried oyster dish, suitable for those who are not so used to eating oysters. I have personally patronised both stalls selling similar dishes in the hawker centre and the fried prawn and oyster dishes at this stall has an edge over the other. The egg in the dishes has an extra crispy texture to it and the seafood is fresher than many others I have tasted. I will recommend this stall to people who is heading the food centre for dinner.This stall also serve other dishes such as fried tang hoon, mee goreng and also fried bee hoon. All of these dishes are served up with fresh seafood and the noodles are tasty and fragrant.…Read More

The interior is reminiscent of a cosy European cafe and the food is fabulous. The escargots ($9.80++) were so good that I'm almost unashamed to admit that I poured the remaining garlic butter from the shell into my mouth.I had the squid ink pasta ($16.80++), one of the tastier versions I've had in Singapore. It's doesn't smell bad like others I've tried before and the squid bits were flavourful, wish they had been more generous with that though. My boyfriend had the emu rice ($16.80++), which I tried. The egg was fluffy and soft and the rice were just the right texture.Service in Singapore tends to veer either towards indifference or over the top. But here it was just right. The staff weren't pushy, water was served on arrival and they really made us feel as ease and at home. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.…Read More

Since I've got to know about "mookata" I've tried many different ones but this has got to be the best. Place the lard on the centre of the hot plate and you can start bbqing your meats.They have it ala carte and buffet style. Buffet is available at a very affordable $22 nett, none of that ++ nonsense probably because it's in a coffee shop. They have beef, chicken, pork, fish balls, quail eggs, mushrooms, veggies, tanghoon, prawns, squid and more. Yes, all these are included in the buffet and are served right to your table. You'll get a sample platter first then you can order more of what you like ;)Chilli is really important and the one they serve here OMG, it's complete awesomeness. That little sweetness with a savoury spicy flavour perfect for dipping all the meats in. The pork belly is my favourite, tender and tasty. I could eat this every day. The seafood is fresh as well and the soup base gets really tasty after all the bbqing. The best part is at the end when you cook the tanghoon in the soup. It adsorbs all the yumminess and you get this absolutely delicious helping of soupy noodles to end your meal with.Oh and for those who hate the burnt smell that gets all over your clothes, get a seat outside the coffee shop. If the wind direction cooperates, you'll go home still smelling great. Service is really good, the auntie is super friendly and additional orders are promptly delivered, even when they seem very busy.…Read More

We were lucky to be invited to a food tasting session by Between and OpenRice at Supply&Demand. It was pretty hard to find the place. But all the walking was worth it when we walked into Supply&Demand. I loved the rustic look and cosy setting, perfect for gatherings and dates.The food tasting menu consisted of two appetisers, a pasta, a pizza and last but not least, a dessert. Avocado And Prawn Salad along with Fries With A Side of Guilt were dished up first. While the former was definitely a healthy and yummy choice, the fries were amazing! Fluffy and covered in cheese with bbq sauce dip on the side, I wished I had stuffed myself with more.My partner and I shared the Maiale Orientale Pasta and Al Funghi Pizza. The pasta had a slight hint of spiciness and the slivers of sausages added oomph to the dish. The Al Funghi Pizza was served on a wooden block and had a thin crust. I would have preferred the crust to be more crunchy but my partner loved it and the toppings were full of mushroomy goodness. By the time the dessert was served, we were already feeling full but who could possibly turn down the opportunity to indulge in a sinful lava chocolate cake topped off with a macaron? We polished it off within minutes. After the sumptuous meal, we made our way up to the rooftop on the second level. The night view of the city skyline from the porch was simply breathtaking. From what I've heard, there are also live soccer screenings for football fans!Anyway, there was this carte blanche on the menu, basically you choose the meat you want and the chef determines how it is to be cooked. What a pity we didn't have it this time but we'll definitely be trying this on our next visit. Can't wait!…Read More
