Tldr: Recommend the truffle kombu fries ($15) and mentaiko prawn pasta ($26) but skip the drinks.

There was a queue forming when we visited around 1.30pm on Saturday, but it moved quite fast and we were seated in 10 mins.

We ordered 4 mains which are 1 for 1 on Burpple, and truffle fries. Food was on the expensive side but portion was huge as well. We unanimously agreed that the mentaiko prawn pasta was better compared to the duck tagliatelle ($28) flavour wise, but it also completely missed the mark as none of us could taste the mentaiko inside. BBQ pork ribs ($26) came with sweet potato fries, freshly fried and piping hot. However the ribs was quite dry and a little hard. The sea bass ($26) can be considered a lighter choice compared to the above, both in terms of serving size and taste. Perhaps because it was served last and we were already inundated with the strong flavours from the other mains, we couldn’t really appreciate the delicate-ness of this final dish.

Among the drinks we ordered (matcha latte, lychee rose tea and matcha milkshake), the milkshake was the best. Matcha latte was such a disappointment and one of the worst I’ve tried. Matcha wasn’t strong and we could still taste the powder in the drink. They also don’t offer a choice of skimmed milk. Milkshake was better perhaps because it was blended and sweetened with vanilla ice cream. Iced lychee rose tea was basically just a tea bag and had a very mild taste.

Still a decent cafe for meetups and brunch dates if you have entertainer or Burpple, otherwise skip it. It’s around a 10 min walk from Kembangan mrt and no bus stops nearby, so not very convenient to get to in SG’s weather unless you drive.
