"While definitely firmly out of the traditional box, this inner city pho is by far my favourite. It’s the extra touches that make it special (eg fried shallots atop the chicken variety and the flavoursome broth has a good depth. Had one last weekend (after getting home a little late the night before and it was the perfect revitaliser. 3 different types of chilli condiments on offer (pickled all the way for me! . I couldn’t fault the wait staff either, the right amount of attention, but also not hovering or crowding us, very laid back vibes here. I had chicken on this day, but I’m also a huge fan of their beef!! Have never tried the mushroom pho, but am tempted as it looks very good. Reliable, well priced and excellent flavours."

"Food came out fast and hot! Was reasonably priced given the food was so high quality. The top recommendation was the shen Jian bao!! And they respected our request for fast service given we had an appointment after our meal to get to! 10/10!"

"My first visit to Rick's Place was expecting just decent Italian food. However, we were pleasantly surprised! The quality of the ingredients and flavors was excellent, with generous portions. The wine list is small, with only a few Italian options, but they are reasonably priced. It would be wonderful to see some more variety in Italian white and red wines available."

"This modern and fun Vietnamese restaurant is located just across QT Hotel on Russell Street and there is so much to choose from. There is a modern and sassy design inside the restaurant with Murals and neon signs on the wall.<br/ <br/ The menu has a good range and they do cater for the special dietary requirements. We decided on the banquet as we thought it was quite good value for money and we get to have abit of everything. For the feed me menu, you get 2 smalls, 2 large and a side which is a good amount between two.<br/ <br/ We decided on the soft shell crab baos, the baked scallops and from the large session we went with the whole seabass and the crispy pork belly with Asian slaw and opted for the coconut rice for our side. The dishes were nicely presented, and the portions were good for sharing.<br/ <br/ The bao was so soft and fluffy and the soft shell crab was lightly fried and we really enjoyed the baked scallops. High recommend the whole seabass, it was cooked really well and the flavours were good. I really enjoyed it and it went well with the coconut rice. The crispy pork belly with Asian slaw was seasoned nicely and was light and you get a good balance between the pork belly and the Slaw. We wanted to try their desserts but did not have room, will need to come back to try their dessert options. Really enjoyed the flavours on each dish<br/ <br/ For drinks, we went with the Lychee Me Up and the Passionfruit Blossom and they were really refreshing and light. Love how they complemented the dishes really well.<br/ <br/ Overall, we really enjoyed our meal here and the staff were lovely and friendly. They do get quite busy on weeknights, might be best to make a booking in advance."

"The Espressonist is a unique blend of café and art gallery, with a modern design featuring sleek lines and minimalist touches. The menu offers a variety of options from eggs to burgers to salads and sweets. My friend and I enjoyed the Asian Noodle Salad with grilled chicken, Fried Chicken Burger, and Lemon Meringue dessert. The flavors were clean and bold, the chicken in the burger was tender and the lemon meringue was a light and refreshing way to end the meal. Overall, a beautiful spot definitely worth a visit!"
