📍Com Tam Thien Huong
✈️ San Jose

viet food hits different in san jose 🇻🇳🤍
Com Tam Thien Huong is one of those no-frills viet spots where the food speaks for itself 🙂‍↕️ 
serving up Vietnamese classics like pho, vermicelli bowls and ofc their famous Cơm Tấm, their menu is really extensive, so you’ll definitely be spoilt for choice. 

🍖 Special Combination (~US$24.95) ⭐️
(BBQ Beef Rib, Fried Shrimp Cake, Shredded Pork Skin, Egg Cake & Grilled Shrimp on Sugarcane with Broken Rice)
my first time trying broken rice and i can see why the locals love it. the bbq beef rib was very tender and packed with flavour. not to mention, the portions were MASSIVE!

🥢 Phở Đặc Biệt (~US$13.95) ⭐️
(rare beef, flank, fatty brisket & tendon)
this was soooooo good! all that meat for $14 is such mad value 🤯 the broth was rich and leaned towards the savoury side, which is exactly what I crave in a comforting bowl of pho 🤤 

🍚 Cơm Gà Đùi (~US$19.50)
(chicken thigh on rice)
they absolutely nail their sauces 🤤 the sweet tanginess reminded me of plum sauce, which really elevated the dish. 

🥑 Avocado Shake (~US$7.50) ⭐️ 
just the right amount of sweetness

tldr: ❗️worth trying❗️there’s always an insane line for a reason! 100% worth getting their pho! if you want to try a little bit of everything, then go for the special combination Cơm Tấm! 

thank you @comtam_thienhuong for the kind invite 💌 my first overseas collaboration means everything to me 🥺

📍Cali Spartan Mexican Kitchen
✈️ San Jose

i’ve been here 4 times now and i’m definitely going to be back for more 🙂‍↕️

cali taco (~US$5.50) 
10/10

no words. by far the best taco in the bay. ever since i had this for the very first time, it’s been etched on my mind…

i’ve tried their al pastor, chorizo and carne asada but their lengua remains undefeated. the crispy fries piled on top of an already crispy tortilla makes every bite super satisfying! 

adding some of their orange sauce is a MUST! 

queso bowl (~US$9)
7/10
best consumed when hot bc the cheese hardens pretty quickly once it’s cooled. 

guacamole (~US$10) 
8/10 

so fresh & refreshing though i wish it came with chips.

tldr: ‼️ must try ‼️ this is my benchmark for what a great taco should taste like 🙂‍↕️

📍Elijah Pies
🚇 Tanjong Pagar

the prettiest pies i’ve ever seen 💝

Pistachio Praline Pie (~$9.50) ⭐️
8.5/10
definitely the star of the show! loveeee how rich and creamy this was 🙂‍↕️ the crust in itself deserves a mention. layered with crusted pistachio praline, the crunchy texture made every bite incredibly satisfying!

wild berry lavender pie (~$8.50)
6.5/10 
the lavender was a little too subtle for me and felt like it got lost in all the yoghurt, though the wild berry and yoghurt combination worked well! plus the crust was a tad soggy/soft for my liking. 

tldr: ❗️worth trying❗️such pretty and creative desserts 💝  the cafe itself is just as charming 
heading down to the physical store for a slice is probably the best way to try their flavours if you don’t want to commit to a whole pie 🥧 i’m already curious about their savoury pies 🤤

📍Pull Tab Coffee
🚇Buona Vista (multiple outlets)

coconut coffee (~$5.80) 
7/10 
at first sip, it leans quite bitter because of the thick coffee foam on top which is a lil too intense for me 😬 once you give it a good mix, it’s creamy and smooth with a subtle coconut flavour. lowkey reminds me of dalgona coffee 

tldr:❗️worth trying❗️ decent coffee spot! keen to try their kaya toast

📍Avorush
🚇 Shelton Way

if you’re an avo lover 🥑, you gotta rush here right now!!!!

regular BYOB (~$13.90) ⭐️
- 7.5/10

their regular build your own bowl comes with 2 bases, 1 protein, 2 sides and 1 dressing! 

my bowl:
🍝 pesto penne
🧈 cajun spiced tofu
🥗 greek salad
🥬 coleslaw 
🌿 avorush basil dressing 

the only downside is that the complimentary protein options doesn’t include meat, just their vegan gangsta and cajun-spiced tofu which is what everyone goes for anyways so not terrible! 

the fact that people would pick tofu over meat as a protein option says enough 😮‍💨 the cajun spiced tofu is really that good! it’s always served hot and fresh and the soft silken tofu holds the crispy crumb coating well so there’s a nice crunch with every bite! super addictive 🤤

there was a pretty interesting variety of sides to choose from and everything was already nicely seasoned so the bowl didn’t feel bland.

most importantly, every bowl comes with a generous scoop of avo 🥑 

tldr: ❗️worth trying❗️if you’re in the CBD and getting bored of the usual salad options!

📍Koji Sushi Bar
🚇Raffles City

koji holds a special place in my heart 🫶🏻 been eating here since their sashimi rice bowl was $19. here’s a lil memory lane of @kojisushibars over the years 🥺 

sashimi rice bowl (~$23) ⭐️
- 9/10
had me at my first bite 🙂‍↕️ the portion of sashimi is pretty decent, so there’s a good balance of fish and rice!  no fancy sauces or heavy seasoning here, just fresh seafood done right 🍣  the sashimi comes in generous cubed cuts, which i personally prefer! you can also switch to multigrain rice for an extra $1.

 tldr: ‼️ must try ‼️ it’s still one of the most value-for-money sashimi rice bowls around 🍣✨ my go-to spot whenever I’m craving chirashi

📍Beth
🚇 Lentor

i’ve been on the hunt for a good sandwich and @welcometobeth absolutely delivered. 

pistachio & mortadella sandwich (~$18) ⭐️
8.5/10
the sandwich was generously packed with mortadella and creamy stracciatella! such an elite pairing but what made it stand out even more was the addition of nutty pistachio spread and the apple chutney, creating a savory & sweet combination that just worked for me.
great portion size too which is hard to come by in singapore 😃 (fr no shade but some sandwiches are so TINY) 

pesto di cavolo nero pasta (~$23) 
7/10
the pesto sauce was flavourful and i really enjoyed the chewy texture of the cavatelli. a well-executed pesto pasta

tldr: ‼️ must try ‼️ despite the obscure location, Beth has been drawing in a steady crowd which is proof that good food really does speak for itself.  the sandwich alone is worth travelling for 🙂‍↕️

📍Average Service
🚇 Farrer Park

just like their name,,, service was average indeed. tbf  i was there near their closing but they forgot about my matcha which only came 20 mins after my mains 💔

furikake garlic pasta w seared scallops 🍝 (~$24)
- 7/10
the fusilli had a firm yet chewy bite and held the garlicky buttery sauce really well. it sort of reminds me of indo mee but w thicker noodles, explains why it’s so moreish 🙂‍↕️

potato pleasure 🥔 (~$12) ⭐️
- 7.5/10
simple dish, but surprisingly my favourite of the lot. the potato purée was super smooth & creamy, with a half-cooked egg in the middle. honestly i could’ve finished another portion easily 🤤  wish it came with some bread on the side 🥖

steak & eggs 🥩 🍳 (~$33)
- 4/10
lol what was i expecting, it’s just steak & eggs 🥩 🍳 the steak was quite tough 💔  the truffle fries and chimichurri came in clutch tho 

matcha latte banana pudding 🍌🍵
7/10
loveeeeeee their banana pudding with crunchy biscoff bits throughout. i liked that matcha latte and banana pudding was served separately, so you could enjoy both as it is. 

tldr: ❕could try❕more for the aesthstic bc it was average at best for me 😬

📍Odem
🚇Tanjong Pagar

Odem truly needs no introduction 🙂‍↕️ so glad to finally check this off my list! 

brioche & gamtae seaweed butter(~$18) ⭐️
8.5/10
the brioche was soooo soft and fluffy. their house-made soy glaze added a subtle savoury sweetness to it that made it really enjoyable to have even on its own! the gamtae seaweed butter was SO addictive & paired perfectly with the brioche

kimchi mozzarella pancake🧀 (~$24)⭐️
8.5/10

an elevated version of kimchi jeon done really well! it was crispy on the outside with a gooey cheesy centre 🧀  the cauliflower purée helped balance everything out so it didn’t get too heavy 

toro kimbap (~$42) 
7.5/10
it had the perfect fish-to-rice ratio and the layers of chutoro and akami were really fresh and buttery. i’m usually not a fan of  perilla leaf but it worked really well here! this was good, but it wasn’t quite as life-changing as i expected 💔

abalone boribap (~$48)⭐️
8.5/10
this is definitely one of the highlights of the meal 🙂‍↕️ the pearl barley rice tossed with abalone liver juice and gamtae butter gave it such a deep earthy umami flavour, while the abalone slices added a nice bite. 

barbecued galbi 🥩(~$62)
6/10
the meat itself was nicely done and melts in your mouth,  but the house marinade was way too sweet for me and overpowered the flavors of the beef. this felt quite underwhelming, especially for the price and portion size. 

tldr: ‼️ must try ‼️ if you’re looking for a more elevated, modern korean dining experience! love the unique twists on familiar flavors

📍Janchi
🚇Tanjong Pagar

if you’re tired of the usual kbbq spots along tanjong pagar, @janchi_official does it different 🙂‍↕️

marinated crab buckwheat noodles 🦀 (~$38) ⭐️
9/10
everything about this was so good 🤤🤤🤤 the noodles had a nice chewy texture and soaked up the sauce so well. the marinated crab wasn’t too heavily seasoned, so you could still taste the natural sweetness of the crab.

i really appreciated how the crab was already deshelled and served neatly in the shell, bc raw crab can be such a hassle to eat. my only gripe is for $38, i expected more crab 🦀💔 

potato cheese pancake 🥔🧀 (~$20) ⭐️
9.5/10
the fact that this outshone MARINATED RAW CRAB says enough. hands down the best potato cheese pancake i’ve ever had. the potato-to-cheese ratio was PERFECT. it wasn’t too starchy or cheesy. you could really taste that they used actual potato from the crunch in every bite. 🥔 even after it got cold, it somehow still stayed crispy! 

their free banchan was p solid too! they gave fried mandu stuffed with japchae which was fire. the miyeokguk was comforting to have on the side 

tldr: ‼️ must try ‼️ you’re definitely gonna see me back at janchi bc that potato cheese pancake was something else 😤 food is definitely on the pricier side, but you can genuinely taste the quality in everything.

📍R-Slice by Roberta’s
🚇Orchard

one thing I miss about nyc is pizza by the slice 😗 sometimes you just crave a good slice, but most places here make you order a whole pan instead…

situated in MBS, Roberta’s is known for its brooklyn-style wood-fired pizzas! I haven’t been, so I can’t fully compare, but I’ve had my fair share of pizzas in NYC 🍕

it seems like most items from Roberta’s are not available here,so the menu is a more of a curated selection, with only their signature Bee Sting on offer. 

cacio e pepe 🍕 (~$7) ⭐️ 
7/10
the crust is really thin and crisp while the pizza itself is cheesy with a slight hint of pepper. topped with pecorino romano, the simple cheese-and-pepper combo delivers. 

fire & ice🍕 (~$8) ⭐️ 
7.5/10
staying true to its name, this was slightly spicy. the addition of the creamy stracciatella really elevated the pizza, though i wish they added more sausage.

take note: it’s a takeaway kiosk with limited bench seating. bright side is you can watch the pizzas being made fresh right by the counter

tldr: ❗️worth trying❗️closest thing i’ve had to a nyc-style slice in sg so far

📍Boms & Buns
🚇 Eunos
it baffles me that this bakery is not talked about more 😮  every bake i tried was a hit ‼️ 

vanilla salted cream (~$4.60)⭐️
9.5/10
i’m super picky with ratings bc i try to keep it real but wow… this is hands down the best cream puff i’ve ever had. it is the epitome of what a perfect cream puff should be — generously filled with smooth vanilla cream, wrapped a light and crispy choux bun with a biscuit-like exterior. the cream itself is super light without being overly sweet.

kaya butter (~$4.50) ⭐️
8.5/10
the saltiness of butter cuts through the sweetness of the kaya nicely, mimicking the experience of eating actual kaya toast 💚💛 

flaming cheese rendang focaccia (~$8.90) ⭐️
- 9.5/10
omg this was to die for. the rendang was so flavorful with a slightly spicy kick but the bread and cheese balanced it out perfectly. i loved the lil local twist to focaccia with the addition of rendang, sooo creative and well executed 🙂‍↕️ 

truffle mushroom bun 🍄‍🟫 (~$7) 
- 8/10
this was good but everything else was just wayyyy better 😅  the bun is filled with truffle cream, parmesan, and mushroom ragout that all came through nicely. 

tldr: ‼️ must try ‼️ go for their puffs but don’t miss out on their hot buns bc they’re just as impressive! i’m  defo coming back to try more flavors of their puffs and focaccia!
