[Whole Earth] 🥬 Vegetarian
🌟 9/10
📍 Peak Seah Street (Tanjong Pagar MRT)
💰 Expected damage $40 - $60

This michellin bib pernakan thai restaurant serves vegetarian dishes that gets people doubting themselves at first bite. Althought it can be quite expensive, the quality can be vouched for and I personally like the sweet and sour delights which has the similar texture to pork and the sauce perfectly disguises the vegetarian dish. My gripe with the penang rendang is that the flavour could be stronger and the spice wasn't apparent enough.

The cripsy golden oats tofu was heavily buried with the fried oats, nicely fried but which there were more tofu. Do get their signaure olive rice as it was very fragrant and portion is decent for sharing.

Would recommend this place to visit with your vegetarian friends but the steep price point might be something to consider.

[Fukusuke]
🌟 8/10
📍 International Plaza (Near Tanjong Pagar MRT)
💰 Expected damage (dinner) $30 - $40

This small Japanese izakaya is known to be crowded during dinner time, and walk-in is almost impossible (reservation is almost a must). They are known for their tsukemen but also serve a wide variety of Japanese food such as tonkotsu ramen, rice meals, and side dishes. NOTE: You are required to purchase at least 1 drink/pax during dinner, and their prices are expensive.

Their tsukemen dipping sauce is incredibly savoury and umami. I strongly recommend dipping the noodles and breaking them up in the sauce to ensure they are nicely coated. The char siew, on the other hand, is not anything special, which the slices could be more fatty as it was a little tough. The tonkotsu broth was quite standard, not anything outstanding.

I ordered the chicken nanban and ebi shinjou toast as sides. The chicken nanban is a good side to pair with alcohol and the chicken is still moist on the inside. The ebi shinjou toast is a fried toast with mini shrimp balls/cubes inside and is paired with sweet thai sauce. It's my first time having such a dish, and the sweet and savoury pairing was an interesting experience.

Overall, this place definitely provides quality meals but at a higher price point, which may not be affordable.

[Yat Ka Yan Dessert]
🌟 9/10
📍 Fortune Center (Between Bugis - Bencoolen)
💰 Expected damage $5 - $10

Yat Ka Yan (Cantonese for 一家人) boasts snaking queue on the 2nd floor of fortune center and is well known for their large variety of Chinese desserts, both hot and cold, as well as snacks. Don't be turned off by their queue as it moves fast and turnover rate is high. Do order first before taking a seat as the staff will assign it to you.

The cendol has a generous amount of gula melaka and is insanely sweet. My personal favourite is the fresh mango sago which is on the pricier end but is my go-to dessert to combat SG's heat. The mix of ice cream, mango slice and ice is sinful and my guilty pleasure. If you want a less sweet option, the chrysanthemum jelly osmanthus still provides that cold relief and has a nice tea flavour to it. Overall, this is my go-to dessert shop, due to its large variety and quality, after enjoying a meal in fortune centre.

[Nana Dolly's Peranakan Cafe]
🌟 10/10
📍 Rochor MRT Exit B (3 min walk)
💰 Expected damage $20 - $25

This peranakan cafe is highly raved as it has amazing food as well as nyonya traditional costume for you to try on and take pictures with when you are dining there. The whole meal there was incredibly sinful but worth the visit from time to time. Highly recommend the dry laksa as it was one of the best I have tried as the laksa paste is not too dry and provides a nice coat around the noodles. The megakabo pork belly was incredibly tender and fatty (melt in your mouth) and has a sweet and tangy flavour which is interesting. The chicken rendang wasn't as mind blowing but I couldn't stop mixing the rendang curry with the blue pea rice and eating them together. The chicken was very tender and cooked well. Overall, I would make a special trip to this place and recommend this to my foreign friends to try. Please do make a reservation before coming or risk have to stand in a queue.

[Fatto Catto]
🌟 9/10
📍 Kovan MRT Exit B (5 min walk)
💰 Expected damage $5 - $15

Initially the store was Fat Cat Ice cream but now rebranded to Fatto Catto. Specialised in serving ceremonial grade matcha that is sourced from Japan and China. I tried their signature Maneki-Neko and the matcha is bitter and incredibly smooth. Once mixed together with the milk, it has a nice balance between the bitter notes and the sweetness of the milk. Honestly, I am not experienced enough to tell you the finer nodes of matcha.

The waffle on the other hand is so perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The outer layer is slightly burnt which gives a hint of bitterness but the drizzle of maple syrup masks the flavour. Very underrated for waffles from cafe to hit this level of perfection.

I have tried the watermelon and yuzu sorbet flavours which are very refreshing and good to combat the hot SG weather. Overall, definitely do come check this place out for a drink and snacks along with all the cafes around the area.

[Commune by the Creators]
🌟 7.5/10
📍 Taman Adda Heights, Johor Bahru 🇲🇾
💰 Expected damage RM 30 - 40

Typical cafe in JB. I would recommend yogurt chicken leg and chicken quesadilla. The chicken leg is nicely grilled and tender on the inside. The salad was a nice touch (some may find it unnecessary) and the mashed potatoes was very smooth! Chicken quesadilla was savoury and is a good portion. Very similar to that of Founder's Cafe.

The commune signature baked eggs was not anything special and the cream cheese that came with the bagel was not enough. Drinks are alright, nothing special.

[Four Beans]
🌟 8/10
📍 Austin Heights 🇲🇾
💰 Expected damage RM 20 - 30

If you go during dinner time, you will bound to see a long queue for this dessert place. Four Beans specialise in selling bean curd related desserts and the flavours are on point. They have a wide variety of options but my personal recommendations are the Black Sesame Shaved Ice and Signature Soy Bean Curd.

The black sesame has a strong nutty flavour but not bitter. It is very smooth but do note that it will melt very fast under JB's heat. All of the taro are chewy and QQ. The bean curd generally give a smooth texture but are not too sweet hence they give a side of brown sugar in case you want to sweeten the bean curd.

Overall, a good place to go for dessert if you are in the area and no queue but not a place I would specially make a trip to.

[Inside Scoop]
🌟 8/10
📍 Mount Austin, Johor Bahru
💰 Expected damage RM 15-20

If you are near the area, you may consider dropping by Inside Scoop for some sinful ice-cream with affordable prices.

Among the wide variety of flavours, I strongly recommend the matcha flavour which has a nice balance between sweetness and bitterness. The cookies and cream is a safe flavour that cant go wrong. I wouldn't recommend the pistachio kunafa chocolate flavour ice-cream as it wasn't very strong and to my liking. All in all, it's a place for affordable dessert (compared to sg) if you are eating dinner in the area and if 4 beans is crowded 😂

[Sakanoue Cafe]
🌟 8/10
📍 Tiong Bahru (82 Tiong Poh Rd)
💰 Expected damage $18 - 25

Japan famous Sakanoue cafe has opened a permanent outlet at Drips Bakery Cafe in Tiong Bahru. They sell 6 different flavours of kakigori (Japanese ice kacang) and are all huge in portion (2 people's worth of dessert), hence the expensive price tag. The ice is shaved to the extent that melts in the mouth and gives it a soft texture. Every scoop of ice gives you a consistent milk flavour. Each kakigori is topped with espuma camembert, which is a wipped camembert cheese that is very fluffy and light. Sometimes, I wish the flavours were a bit stronger but is a case of personal preference.

Among the flavours, I've chosen the classic strawberry. Despite the plain look of the kakigori, there are strawberry fillings in the middle to ensure you don't feel jelak/bored from the taste. Overall, it is a nice sweet dessert, but there are a bit more savoury options such as "Blazing Fire Cheese" and the "Pistachio Chocolate" looks decadent. Will definitely come here again to try the other flavours. Overall, it's a good place to eat if you are in the area but it's not very exceptional that you should make a special visit there.

[SOD Cafe]
🌟 9/10
📍 Ci Yuan CC & Upper Thompson Road
💰 Expected damage $15-$25

Value for money and no service charge. This place has been around for a long time and their serving is huge for their prices. My personal recommendation is their mentaiko pasta with the fried chicken. The sauce makes the pasta very savoury which goes well with the crispy chicken. Wanted to try their soft shell crab mentaiko pasta but they only serve it at the upper thompson branch.

The mentaiko Mac N' Cheese is very decadent due to the heaping amount of cheese which caters to many young cheese lovers. Fried chicken and waffle was good and a go-to for those craving a sweet and savoury meal once in a while.

The dessert - devils chocolate cake, is the icing on the cake as it was so thick and sinful. When paired with the ice cream, you are guaranteed to be seeing a doctor soon which is the job of a good dessert. Definitely recommend this place 👍

[Seiwaa Okonomiyaki & Teppanyaki]
🌟 8/10
📍 72 Dunlop St, Singapore 209400 (Near Rochor, Jalan Besar and Little India MRT)
💰 Expected damage $25-$35

If you are craving okonomiyaki, seiwaa would probably be the first to pop up on the search result. Due to its popularity, please place a reservation before coming. You can book grill or non-grill table, but I strongly recommend the grill table since you get to order their souffle pancakes (ONLY on Mon-Thurs). You know the place is autentic when you can hear japanese being spoken by the customers.

What's good? Their chicken karaage is a good appetiser as it's juicy and crispy on the outside. Okonomiyaki is also a go-to option and I think any toppings is fine as it depends on your preference. Honestly, most okonomiyaki taste very similar. Hence, I have not eaten one that tastes outstanding, but you can definitely try this if you have a craving for it. Their yakiudon is pretty average, nothing outstanding.

Now the kicker is their soufflé - if you like roasted marshmallows, then this is for you. It has a nice toasted exterior due to the grill and the air bubbles in the batter provide great insulation, causing the interior to remain fluffy. Skip the cheese option as it doesn't add much to the taste. My favourite sauce is the gula meleka to add on the soufflé making it a great dessert to end the meal. Please note that this is only available on tables with grills and on Mon-Thurs.

I haven't tried their other grilled food options but heard from others that they are good. You can definitely visit this restaurant if you are craving okomiyaki and are in the area.

[Chimichanga]
🌟 7/10
📍 3 Lor Liput, #01-02/03 Holland Piazza (Nearest MRT Holland V)
💰 Expected damage $20-$30

Chimichanga serves good mexican food but at a higher price point. They have a few outlets but this review is only for the Holland Village outlet. They have different offers for different days such as taco tuesday and happy hours but one gripe I have is that it's outdoors😅

I strongly recommend the borracho fish as it has such a nice crispy exterior but fluffy interior. The mango salsa complements the fish by providing a sweet and tangy addition. You can get the taco if you want something light or can get the rice bowl for a more filling meal.

Overall, I found the chipotle chicken not as fantastic. Some parts were a little dry and not very consistent, but the guacmole was good.

You can try the chimichanga which is a deep fried burrito and it's quite carb heavy. It's filled with rice, beans and a hefty amount of meat. There's nothing too exciting about it except that it's like a regular burrito with a crispy exterior. Overall, go for the good vibes and the fish.
