🥟 The Ultimate Xiaolongbao 🥟

This place is located at the heart of NTU in Northspine! (Near the KFC). I was decently surprised by the ambience! It was cosy and comforting. I ordered the beef cheeks, pork loin fajita, wagyu burger and lava cake. The Wagyu burger was disappointing. It cost a whopping 18 dollars! However, the patty was really bland. There was no seasoning at all. I had to add my own pepper and salt to the patty to make it tasty. The onions were raw and not grilled. However, I have to say that the fries were good! ($18) Next, the beef cheeks were soft and tender to the bone. Sauce was decent and mash potato is creamy! However, there's not enough sauce to pair with the mash potato as it was paired with the beef cheeks. (Preferred the fries). They could have been more generous with the salad portion. Overall a bit too pricey for this dish. ($22) Lastly, the pork loin fajita was surprisingly good!! Pork was cooked and seasoned well! It was paired with onions which was good as well! The combination with the wrap and the pork was really delicious. It even came with a side of sour cream and guacamole! Overall a really really good dish that I recommend :)) It was the cheapest out of the 3 main dish. ($16) When dessert came, I was pleasantly surprised on the presentation of the dish. The lava cake came off a bit sweet but paired really well with the vanilla ice cream. (Although they probably used a cheap ice cream brand) A great way to end the meal :) ($6) Overall, dish place is a must try if you have the money as it comes off a little pricey. Would recommend if you are finding a place to splurge. Till we meet again, au revoir!

After discovering PEN & INC through Google reviews, we decided to visit the restaurant located in NTU. Following the signage and direction boards, we easily located the establishment. Our visit took place on a weekend late afternoon, and we were among only three patrons at that time. We thoroughly enjoyed the restaurant's vibe and the background music. Our order included the Slow Cooked Beef Cheek, Fish & Chips, Honey Mustard Chicken Leg, Meat Beef Ragu Pasta, and the highly recommended Lava Torte for dessert. All dishes were impeccably prepared, with each item reaching the perfect level of tenderness and harmonizing well with its respective sauces. It's challenging to pinpoint a single "Must Try" item, as every dish was truly worth sampling. Among our favorites was the Chocolate Baked Lava Cake, exuding a delightful fragrance of chocolate and mild milk. Served piping hot and paired with cold vanilla ice cream, each bite resulted in a satisfying melding of flavors that melted in our mouths. The waitstaff and entire crew were not only friendly but also deserving of a double thumbs up for their excellent service. Our visit to Pen & INC proved to be a delightful and memorable experience, making for a wonderful afternoon.

Do yourselves a favour and avoid the steak! Great ambience, professional and friendly service crew, overall a fantastic respite within NTU. However, the food items were hit-or-miss. The salmon was fantastic, but the steak was... let’s just say, even a hawker stall could deliver better. Fries were tasty...pork fajita was alright, nothing really remarkable... I’d give it a positive review only because on both occasions I patronised, I hadn’t paid the full price: first time was with an eatigo 50% discount, the next was for their $14 set lunch. Without these discounts, I’d feel disappointingly shortchanged, given the quality of the food - certainly does not command the à la carte prices, in my opinion. It has the potential to become a five-star establishment, as long as the consistency of the food quality improves. Everything else (service, ambience) is already in place for an excellent dining experience.

📍Pen and Inc. A sports bar cafe and restaurant situated near one-North MRT. When we visited the place is so quiet 🥹 We ordered calamari for appetizer, it was quite okay, the squid was just overcooked but the fry is golden to perfection. The wagyu cheeseburger is a must! Very meaty and juicy, the meat was thick also! We liked the fries for the side. 🍔 For the pan seared salmon, you cannot go wrong with salmon. Cooked with freshness and the tangy lemon flavor compliments it more. The mash potato was so smooth but quite bland; but still manage to go well with the salmon. For the pasta, there's a taste of burn garlic but the creaminess and the amount of serving is good. 💯 All in all, we enjoyed our time together, we step out of the cafe feeling full and satisfied. Plus points we had a great time playing billiards and darts! A place to eat and play and hang out together with your friends 🙌🏻

The waygu burger is nice. Thick juicy Patty on buttery bun Fajitas is nice too. Lots of meat. Yum. Molten lava lorte is a must have. Apple crumble ok ok New branding, new menu. Grats on re opening. Had 3 course set lunch 14 SGD nett. Most affordable from the menu already. Mushroom soup🥰 - creamy, heavy yet watery, truffle oil can't taste. Garlic butter bread was nice too. Beef strip loin🙂 - Doneness medium rare but come out medium. Lightly seasoned. Tasted okay. Chewy and tough. Paired with sauce or salt and pepper to enchance it. Brownie 😋 - Super moist, chocolatey and fudgy. Shiok. Must try. Good ambient, place cooling, service indeed is great. This their soft launch menu. So subject to change.
