Rocku Yakiniku

Came across this place first with my friend when the friendly door hostess pulled me and my friend in to have a look. Went with girlfriend on a separate occasion to have dinner and here's my review.

Ordered the set meal at $58 for 2

Salad as part of the menu. Not bad.

Their Garlic Rice which tastes extremely delicious. I guess they can't really go wrong with garlic fried rice. Not too oily but very fragrant.

The BBQ pit which provides a smokeless environment so you won't have the BBQ smell on your clothings.

The mushrooms that will never get cooked no matter how long you put it on the BBQ. The brown ones gets cooked if put directly on top of the BBQ, but the other 2 with the aluminium can't cook

Scallop Mentaiko

Comments: Scallop cooked nicely and not too salty compared to other scallop mentaiko I've eaten

Assortment of Meat.

Comments: A nice assortment of different type of meats.The meats were fresh and marinated well. Very tasty and when cooked properly just melts in your mouth.

Overall Review: A nice and cosy place for dinner, won't feel smelly due to the bbq smell. The price could be a bit steep for 2 people. It's best to go in a group to share the cost. On certain days they have special events too. You could like their Facebook page below for more info.

Chock Full of Beans

Introducing a place right at the East side of Singapore, at Changi Village. Changi Village is normally only famous for their Nasi Lemak at the newly re-opened hawker centre. But there's this place that has its specialty. For people who like coffee art, this is the place to be. They also serve good food. I brought my girlfriend here for our one month celebration.

The Menu

Mushroom Soup $7

Comments: Quite diluted soup, has the mushroom taste, but not good enough to cost $7

Nachos Chips $5

Comments: Not sure if their cheese dip is freshly made but it's really nice. It's really thick and full of cheese flavor. Not too salty too.

Caffe Mocha $5.50 (R)

Comments: Nice coffee with nice coffee art of Doraemon. The biscuit that comes with it is also nice.

We brought our Doraemon (Winkie) along for our 1 month anniversary dinner.

Winkie says Hi with the 2 cups of coffee with coffee art.

Linguine Aglio Olio with Prawns and Squid $16

Comments: The dish is very light and fresh, just like how a good Aglio Olio would taste like. The seafood came fresh too.

Hawaiian Pizza $23

Comments: Their Pizza is nice. Thin in the center and fluffy crust which makes it easy to eat. Although the crust could be made a little less burnt though.

Doraemon Coffee Art with color. Hazelnut Latte

Coffee Art in Focus

Winkie says Thanks for reading A Hungry Singaporean. Wishing everyone A Happy Lunar New Year. Will be back with a new update next week.

Overall Review: Place is quite small, which makes it really cosy. Staff are REALLY GOOD! Great customer service. Overall a really nice place to hangout and chill, rather than going to the expensive coffee joints although they have to air-con outside.

Club Street Social

Finally a post on Club Street Social, a small bistro located at club street. This place is always packed with expats since the day of its opening and business has been going really well. Not many places sells such delicious paninis in the business district and not forgetting their all day breakfast menu. They also have special cocktails if you're in the mood. Brought my girlfriend to eat here, although I've eaten here a few times and I ordered what I feel are the best 2 dishes in this place.

Lemongrass Iced Tea $7

Comments: A refreshing drink on a hot day

Lobster Bisque $12

Comments: Actually the lobster bisque does not come in this size. As I knew the chefs, they gave me a small cup as a sample. The lobster bisque is full of flavor. But do remember to mix it up before drinking it because the oil (should be truffle oil) makes it slightly salty. It's nice that there are a few pieces of lobster in it too.

Scrambled Eggs, Fontina and Chives $12 Portobello Mushroom $4

Comments: Many food blogs have claimed this dish to be the best scrambled eggs in Singapore and I'm jumping on the bandwagon to exclaim this too. THIS GOT TO BE THE BEST SCRAMBLED EGGS IN SINGAPORE! Just eating it with the bread is just comfort food, whether you're eating it in the morning, afternoon or night. That's why they offer it in the all day breakfast. I even added a portobello mushroom to go with it as I love mushrooms.

Grilled Ribeye, Caramelized Garlic, Fontina $28

Comments: No one would expect a "sandwich" to taste this fabulous. The big piece of tender ribeye in between 2 toasted pieces of bread, every bite of it taste like heaven. For someone who loves steak, this is a real delight. Not forgetting the melted cheese, which makes it a perfect combination. The best way to eat this would be to eat it like a hamburger.

Nutella Bread Pudding with Ice Cream $12

Comments: To be honest, I'm not a fan of desserts neither am I a fan of chocolate nor is my girlfriend. But this Bread Pudding is super delicious. The bread is served warm, coupled with the vanilla ice cream and the chocolate sauce. Absolutely delicious which makes it a reason to make space for dessert.

Overall review: A few downsides of this place: it is quite small, which makes it difficult to find a seat if it's on a busy day, you might have to take a seat at the cocktail bar or stand around at their tall tables. They do not take phone reservations too. The food is also quite expensive for a normal day lunch. But this is a place that serves GREAT food. More westernized as they serve bread as their main staple food, what most expats love.
