#2024wish Spotted an enticing omakase promo under a hundred dollars on Facebook, so I decided to visit Mitsu Sushi with a friend. The ambiance and the freshness of the food exceeded our expectations. Engaged in delightful conversation while relishing the quality dishes, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Mitsu Sushi. I really like all the different choices in the Omakase they have here. The restaurant provides ala-carte options too for those who don’t prefer Omakase. 📍Mitsu Sushi 21 Duxton Road, Singapore 089487

#mysgmemories Can la! Come and try this Japanese bakery Gokuko and you can follow their recommended items to buy. They have listed their top bread to try and it is honest ranking. It is a small bakery but they have many options. You might end up buying everything. This bakery is just right above the MRT exit. You can then take the escalator up and make a right turn and see it immediately. Cashless payment is acceptable too. It is always interesting to try new things. Do visit Gokuko bakery the next time you are here.

#newyearadventure Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre 新加坡华族文化中心 Address: 1 Straits Blvd, Singapore 018906 Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre, located around 10 minutes walk from Tanking Pagar mrt, is a cultural centre with exhibitions and events to promote Chinese culture. One of the exhibitions is the Singapo人, which showcases and lets you discover more on Singaporean Chinese and how each of us associates ourselves (for Singaporean Chinese). An interesting and interactive exhibit which I felt I learned a lot more at the end of the day. It's free entry so anyone can go over to try out and experience it.

Marcy's Address - 39-40 Duxton Road, Singapore 089503 Avg. Price per Person - 50++ Rating - 5/5 Decided to spend our christmas eve dinner here after seeing rave reviews. And we werent disappointed! Ordered the following 1) Marcy's crab toast. The crab serving is big on a bite size piece of brioche. The trick is to eat the crab with the brioche. Otherwise the crab alone will seem like it wasnt seasoned well 2) Fatty Tuna Crudo. Looooove this! 3) Octopus rigatoni: insisted on getting this even though my partner thought it was 'just pasta'. He ended up liking it more than I did! Service was excellent! Ambience is good. Tables are a tad too close for private conversations though. Would definitely return for more! #musteat #foodies #foodie #singapore

Address - 32 Maxwell Rd, #01-08 Maxwell Chambers, Singapore 069115 Ambiance/Facilities - Very vibey bar located in CBD area, and they offer a lot of drink options too 🍺 Highlights - The Butadon 🐖🍚was cooked to perfection, the pork was juicy and tender, and the sauce was savory and flavorful. The rice was fluffy and the vegetables were cooked to the perfect texture. I was impressed with the quality of the ingredients used and the careful preparation that went into the dish. Overall, I would highly recommend this Butadon for anyone looking for a delicious meal that is both filling and flavorful. The restaurant also provides a variety of sides to accompany the dish, making it an excellent option for a complete meal. Avg. Price per Person - $30 Rating - 🌟🌟🌟🌟 4.5/5 Delicious food! However did not get to order the original Wagyu Don we wanted to try, so it was a small pity

Charim BBQ restaurant Address - 65 Tg Pagar Rd, Singapore 088486 Rating - 3.5/5 We were hungry on a friday afternoon hence dropped by. Decided against bbq as we just wanted something quick. Settled for ramyeon and cold noodles. The banchan was very nice! Especially potato salad and japchae. They also have squid sashimi which was, interesting. Ramyeon was very fragrant, and hard to go wrong. Enjoyed it. Cold noodles was pretty average though. Would be back to try their bbq next time! #foodies #singapore #foodie

#maxwellchambers #autumnthemedcafe🍂🍂🍂 best dining experience in Autumn #koreancuisine #recommended : Tteok-Bokki Hot Plate👍🏻 and Signature Tiramisu👍🏻👍🏻 …..a perfect place, an ideal space for gatherings😜 my friends n i having a great time, chit-chatting …..it’s a great choice to experience the season @ a beautiful romantic cafe in Singapore✨👍🏻

The HK-inspired menu is quite limited as they pride themselves in being the ‘World's First Bolo Bun Concept Store’. We waited around 10 minutes before the buzzer rang for us to self-collect the foods and drinks near the cashier. The three-storey cafe in Tanjong Pagar oozes contemporary style and I would recommend going up to the 2/F for a more comfortable environment. The 1/F seating areas lack air con while the 3/F attic is cosy yet a little too dim for your insta photoshoot 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 I don’t usually dig bolo buns (btw bolo means ‘pineapple’ in Canto, but just refers to the resemblance instead of actually containing any fruit), but this has got to be hands down THE BEST ever compared to the ones I’ve had in HK The warm bun itself was a textural delight with the outer crust being ultra crispy while the inner was soft and pillowy. The huge cold slab of butter in the middle was such an indulgence, but really elevated the entire taste 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐨 The Singaporean samosa twist was actually way better than I expected, but sadly it was a little too spicy for me to eat more than two bites. The aromatic curry scent was soooo tempting though 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐨𝐧’𝐬 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐤 𝐓𝐞𝐚 They managed to make this drink very authentic and silky that I kind of felt that I was in HK for a second. However, I have to admit that HK-style milk tea is an acquired taste for me and I don’t normally prefer the bitter aftertaste ✨ 𝙁𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬 @𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚.𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨.𝙥𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬𝙨 📍 Champion Bolo Bun 92 Tanjong Pagar Road, Singapore 088513 (Tanjong Pagar MRT exit A) #新加坡景點 #singapore #foodie

Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy both Japanese food and Korean street food, all at the same place without the hassle of travelling here and there? Well, at tanjong pagar, you will be able to find both kinds of food. If you are a big fan of ramen, you should try the ramen at Torasho ramen & charcoal bar. They serve both dry and soup ramens and you can pretty interesting ones there as well. Their soup broth is rich and flavourful, just the way I like. I ordered their lobster ramen and truffle tonkatsu ramen and I give it a 5 stars rating. Once you are done with ramen, head over to Koryo Jung korean street food stall at International plaza. They sell corn dogs, tteokbokki and kimbaps etc. If you can't fly to Korea, you may want to visit this shop. The street food is good! #tripblazers #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #foodie #awesomepic

#meetsingapore Korean BBQ is one of the specialties for Korean food. My wife loves Korean BBQ! As it was another of our wedding anniversary, I decided to bring her to Sin Manbok to eat Korean BBQ to celebrate this special occasion. When we reached there, it was fully packed. Therefore, we had to wait awhile before we an get our seats. We ordered a set meal of bbq pork and chicken and spicy soup. When the food arrived and we started to bbq, the smell was so nice. The staff there were also very helpful in helping us to bbq the meat. All the food we ordered were so yummy! Address: 81 Tg Pagar Rd, Singapore 088502

At night, the atmosphere is reminiscent of North America or Europe. During the day, it feels like a very exotic area in Southeast Asia. Food is reasonably priced and it's fun to just stroll around. 📍3 minutes walk from Tanjong Pagar MRT Station

Address - 38 Maxwell Rd, #foodie were flavourful. The Jjampong noodle was brim-filled with seafood but atad more wok-hei for the soup broth would certainly have brought the overall taste a level higher. Jjajīang noodle was slurpy and gd to have nothing much to comment nor complain abt since nt much ingredients for this noodle. Overall liked the service and overall foodfare and reasonably priced for korean noodle place in sg. Total paid $60 for 2 pax that will probably feed 3 so will recommend if one is in the area and craves korean Chinese food.#foodiesg

There are alot of food options located in tanjong pagar where people normally get their Korean bbq fix or Japanese ramen fix along the row of shop houses along tanjong pagar Road. Why not go for something different and instead go for a cafe so that your shirt won't smell like bbq or soup broth. There is a cost cafe called @51tras which of course located at 51 tras Street and this is a cafe featuring the famous Ben wong chee cheong fun, tigerlily patisserie and even laksa quiche. A fusion of some Singaporean food, Korean food and even French too! This cafe has a Korean style rustic aesthetic where it has simple yet clean decor, if food is too much for you, why not go for their coffee or matcha latter, these are also one of the stars here too! #sginsider #tanjongpagar #korean #cafe #foodie #foodsg #local #singapore

📍Huggs Collective — 30 Maxwell Rd, #01-03, Singapore 069114 Located in tanjong pagar, we came across this space we were surprised to see it was a co working space & a cafe! The aesthetic of this place was gorgeous very bright & minimalistic. There was quite a lot of seating from bar tops to low table s they even had a room that was like a huge stair seating, quite casual and chill but definitely more towards chatting with ur friends instead of getting work done cause the table is very low. They offer memberships where you can get discounts on your visits, and they even have a separate private room for the members to sit & work!

Address - Marcy’s Ambiance/Facilities - western vintage Highlights - Decor and Food! Avg. Price per Person - 80++ Rating - 5/5 Dishes in accordance to pictures: Amber jack sashimi style with cherry tomatoes and crispy greens. Sashimi was served fresh. Cuts were of a good size. Sauce was a mixture of salty and sour at the perfect amount, making it SUPER savoury! Mussels Served fresh. For those who don’t like the tatse of the sea, this doesn’t have that!! This was topped with kimchi (fermented cabbage) and spring onions. This is another savoury meal but with a slight sweetness to the dish. Beef and octopus Ragotini Pasta was al Dante and topped with amazing sauce. The flavour of beef was strong! as though the beef was left simmering in the sauce for hours. AMAZING! Octopus Served with boiled potatoes, greens and octopus legs seared to perfection with a good balance of a crispy outside and soft inside. Desserts was icecream to celebrate my birthday! yay! Food here was really good and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Service was also good with friendly Waiters and Waitresses that have good knowledge and recommendations regarding the food (for those going there first time) Enjoy!! 100% recommended!! #mustvisit #mustdo #urbanexplorer #foodie #singapore

Tanjong Pagar is popular among the many authentic restaurants that's being run by Korean people, most stalls here are BBQ and if you are looking for something that's NON - bbq you should head to O.bba Jiang Korean Restaurant which is very famous for their jiajiang mian located at 77 Tg Pagar Rd, Singapore 088498. Their black soybean noodles is something you should definitely go for, I bet you will be begging for more! For meat dishes you can also opt for the Sweet & Sour pork or the Deep Fried Chicken in hot sauce and if you think you are a big rater you can order the kimchi or chives Korean pancake which is also really good! This place is great especially when you go with friends or families as the portions here are quite generous too! #mustvisit #koreanfood #koreancuisine #singapore #tanjongpagar #musteat #foodie
