I was invited to The Burger Office a while back together with foodies like Ace, Carolyn and Wen Hui thanks to Yummypin! The Burger Office is a little burger shack located at Goldhill Plaza (Nearest to Novena MRT) and it serves a variety of mouth-watering dishes - from burgers to pizzas and even fried mars balls! Oh and not to forget the caramel donuts we tried. They've a wide range of sides which will definitely leave you spoilt for choice!

Burger Office Burger - $12

(Fresh Lettuce, tomatos, pickles, beef patty and homemade burger office sauce)

The beef patty was juicy and it was served with freshly toasted buns. The burger office sauce had a sweet tinge to it, but it complemented the patty well. Thumbs up to the fries too btw! Couldn't stop munching on them.The Burger Office Burger was also available in the chicken version! Pepperoni Pizza - $20 (For 12")

(Tomato sauce, mozerella, pepperoni, bell peppers, onion and garlic)

Loved the pizza though the pepperoni was a little overcooked. The toppings were generously spread on each slice of pizza as well! Donuts with caramel dip

Oh the caramel dip! This was by far one of my favorite dishes served to us (apart from the burgers). I'm an avid fan of donuts and these were fried to perfection. Another plus point was that they weren't oily too! Heh didn't felt too sinful enjoying it.

I forgot to take a picture of the Fried Mars Balls that we tried, but they were extremely delicious! Definitely something I would order when I'm back at The Burger Office. They also serve a wide range of beer and other alcoholic beverages, so it's also a great place to hang out after work!

And foodies being foodies, we even went to the extent of standing on chairs to perfect our burger shot. Thankfully there were no one else there who would have judged us hahaha. But I mean, #foodiepride man! Heh and that means going all out just for a good picture.

Another food-tasting session held at Blackbird Bistro + Bar thanks to Yummypin! For those who don't know, Blackbird Bistro + Bar is a New Zealand inspired cafe that offers a wide variety of NZ inspired dishes. They also have happy hour from 4-8pm and you'll be sure to get selected alcohol at discounted prices! We were given a variety of dishes to sample, and boy were they mind-blowingly good. Most of the items came with a certain East meets West fusion which tickled my taste buds, and they were priced really affordably too!

I was really trying to limit the number of "favorite" dishes I had, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. One of the main highlights of the tasting session was definitely the Miso cod fish, which literally melted in our mouths. Thumbs up to the crispy pork belly and Marc's kiwi burger too! I don't usually gush about cafes like that, nor did they pay me to write this post, but the food served were really impeccable.

I'm pretty sure I'll return for them again! Thank you once again to Yummypin Singapore and Blackbird Bistro + Bar for the invite!

Thanks to the people at Su Food, I got to try out their 8 course Italian-Inspired Vegetarian cuisine.

I have never been a big fan of Vegetarian food, but the dishes served at Su Food definitely made me a convert. I can't wait to bring my parents there to savor them in the near future!

------------------------------

Background Story:

Founded in 2010, SUFOOD is the first meat-free concept restaurant under WOWPRIME GROUP, the largest F&B operator in Taiwan. Through a joint venture, SUFOOD is launching in Singapore for the very first time at Raffles City in May 2014.

SUFOOD is not only inspired by Italian cuisine but also by how it is prepared; though only using basic cooking techniques, Italian cuisine still exudes diverse and rich flavors. SUFOOD thus relies chiefly on the quality of the fresh ingredients to create innovative and delicious meat-free cuisines.

Their manifesto of using the rule of five:

5-colour groups of vegetables & fruits to give you a variety of nutrients5 natural spices for an added flavor boost and

5 cooking methods to present you with an utterly gastronomical indulgence!

------------------------------

The set course costs $29.80++, but I can assure you that it is definitely value-for-money, especially with the standard of food served and the pleasure of dining in such an amazing ambiance. I highly doubt you can find any restaurant that serves quality Vegetarian cuisine at such an affordable price.

PROMOTION:

They're currently having a promotion for DBS/POSB card members!

Enjoy a 1 for 1 8-course meal (worth $29.80++), valid from 2 - 4:30pm daily!

(But I mean, I would also go even without the promo because yes, the food is THAT good. I'm not trying to oversell them here. It's truly based on my personal opinion!)Su Food is located at Raffles City Shopping Centre, Level 2!

Opening Hours:

Lunch: 1130am - 430pm (last order at 3pm)Dinner: 530pm - 10.30pm (last order at 9pm)

The menu at Su Food is pretty structured and fitted to your personal palette. It focuses on an 8 course meal with various choices of salads, soup, mains, dessert and drinks.We were first greeted with a cup of Mulberry Cider Vinegar to cleanse our palette before each main course. The vinegar might be a little strong for some on the first sip, but you'll gradually get accustomed to it after the consecutive sips! 1) AppetizersWe were advised to dine from right to left so that the end taste would not be too overpowering.

From right to left:

Japanese Yam with wolfberry dressing, Taiwanese, Oriental greens with Sesame dressing and a savory Cherry Tomato Jelly.

2) Rosemary Breadsticks - FAV!Homemade rosemary infused breadsticks ith a choice of Thousand Island / Mustard Dip.

Couldn't get enough of the mustard dip!

3) Salads Mushroom Salad

(Button and Shitake mushrooms with steamed broccoli and sliced cherry tomatoes glazed in a vinegar dressing) Summer Salad

(A colorful array of sweet potato, carrot, pepper. and seasonal fruits served with Thousand island dressing and sesame sauce)

4) Soup Cabbage and Sweet Potato Stew

(Button, Shitake and King Oyster mushrooms stewed with blended sweet peas)

5) MainsWild Mushroom Charcoal Tagliatelle - MY FAV!

(King Oyster mushrooms sauteed in light olive oil and homemade dressing on a bed of fragrant charcoal tagliatelle)

For those who might not know what Tagliatelle is, they're long, flat ribbons of pasta. The Tagliatelle at Su Food brought pastas to a whole new level. They were so springy, chewy and light!

I would highly recommend you guys to order this when you are there as it's one of their signature dishes as well! Star Pizza - MY FAV!

(A golden star-shaped pizza, filled with oyster mushrooms, cream cheese, mustard and wasabi mayo sauce. Topped with salted seaweed)

The mains were the star dishes of our entire meal (no pun intended). Like seriously, how can you say no to a cream cheese stuffed pizza? The seasoning and toppings worked really well together!

6) Desserts Vanilla Ice-cream with Hot Chocolate

(Coat your vanilla ice-cream in as much warm, dark chocolate fudge sauce as you wish)Banana Cheesecake

(Banana cheesecake drizzled with blueberry sauce, accompanied with chocolate waffle roll)

7) Drinks Left:
