The only thing I can recommend here is the home-made potato chips which they provide as an appetizer. They are lightly salted and are well fried. Unfortunately, I can’t say otherwise for their steaks. The ribeye that I had was simply not flavourful and the accompanying béarnaise sauce was unpalatable. This was the same for my friend’s sirloin as well. As for their desserts, the sticky date pudding was far too sweet.

I would say the fare at Everything with Fries is average save for their Grilled Pork Chop. The pork chop is thick and succulent and a very good dish if you’re craving for something to sink your teeth in. However, I feel that despite all the raves over their Nutella Cake, it is over-rated. Upon first bite, their Nutella cake is indeed chocolaty, fudgey and moist but once you continue to eat it, you’ll start to realize that it is overwhelmingly sweet! You can even see the sugar crystals aplenty in the crust! Be it whether it was under mixed or purposefully so, the effect is such a turnoff.

From the same management of Tampopo and Tampopo Deli is relatively new café Dulcet & Studio. I love their cakes and my all-time favourite is the Fruit Scoop Cake. However, when I recently tried it again, to my shock and disappointment, the cream was not as rich and sweet. Plus there was very much less of it and seemed to have more cake sponge instead! The best part of the cake IS the RICH (yet light) and SWEET cream in its abundance! Have they tweaked their recipe? Please no!

The ramen here is so ordinary that I find it hard to describe my eating experience...wait I got it, 'BORING'. I had the Sanpou ramen which had three types of pork cuts in it. The meat was alright, not melt in your mouth, but not particularly bad either. The soup stock was neither rich nor savoury tasting, it was just like eating a bowl of normal noodles. Generic fare.

If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine, this is not the place. The Sirloin steak was on the tough side and was definitely not done to the Medium-rare which I requested for. The Beef Lasagna was not too bad but I was unable to tell how good it was as it was served COLD. I’m not sure about the pizzas or other pastas, but from what I had, it was just not impressive.
