Biteorbye? Bite.

Why you will love it ❤
1. If you're looking for comfort food and craving something Japanese, Negiya should be on top of our list. We always have great experience dining here!
2. I love ordering the set because we get to enjoy the delicious and heartwarming miso soup and pickles of the day.
3. They're very generous with the thin cut slices of beef that is very well flavoured, I am a fan of garlic so this dish is so great to eat and the combination of the Japanese rice is perfection.
4. Great, attentive and friendly waiter. They made sure we are able to use available promos during payment.

What could be improved 🙏
1. Place is not too noticeable. Maybe there could be more obvious banner/signage.
2. The pickle of the day was not very impressive that day, I've had better ones here, so maybe I was just a bit unlucky that day! Oh well! Overall, definitely a lovely experience.

1. There's nothing that can go wrong with the Green Tea Crepes Cake. Pancious made sure every bite is the perfect sweetness, the vanilla ice-cream goes together like Shawn and Camila #ship, crunchiness from the topping and green tea flair is exquisite. This dish is perfect to share with your friend after a meal and pair it with coffee.
2. Pancious is mostly always busy, and we really appreciate how fast and responsive the service is.

We weren't very happy with the Ricotta & Raspberry Chocolate Waffle. The chocolate waffle was a bit too bitter for our taste, and the ricotta was very faint with the overpowering too-sweet raspberry. So there wasn't a really good tango between sweet and tang.

Place: Pancious, Pacific Place
Menu:
1. Green Tea Crepes Cake (8.7/10)
2. Ricotta & Raspberry with Chocolate Waffle (3.5/10)

1. The ribs is super flavourful and you do not even need the sauce to enjoy it. The ribs itself is already coated in caramelized barbeque flavour goodness.
2. Plenty of seating.
3. The menu here is still reasonably priced. Not cheap, it is a bit on the steep side. But because the food is good, it is worth your money.

What could be improved 🙏
1. I visited the restaurant on a Saturday at around 16:00 but they said that the ribs would be ready at 17:00. So I ended going around the mall (which I wanted to anyway), but hopefully next time they would not make the customers wait to enjoy their delicious food! Such a shame if they lose sales opportunity.
2. The ribs itself were fattier than usual. I prefer my ribs not too fatty, so I think I would go to the branch in Pondok Indah, their meat quality seems to less fatty and the ribs are more flavourful in the Pondok Indah branch. With that being said, still good though!
3. The mashed potatoes in HolyRibs are usually a home run. Not this time though, it was a bit too sweet for my taste, should be just the right amount of savoury balanced with a slight sweetness which did not happen this time.

Place: The HolyRibs, Lotte Avenue
Menu: 450 gr US Prime Backribs, 2 bones (165K): 8.2/10

1. The salmon is fresh! Get the salmon maki if you are here. It is on the pricey side, but the freshness makes it a dish you should splurge on every once in a while.
2. The place is accessible by MRT/busway and continue walking a bit from the station.
3. Cozy place albeit being a small restaurant, a Japanese restaurant ambience.
4. Friendly and attentive service.

Takoyaki needs improvement. The takoyaki here used to be better, a right balance between all the elements complimenting each other. Something changed. The texture is too gooey (would be great if the outer layer is a bit on the crunchy side with a soft texture inside) and serving time is way too long. A long service time would be completely understandable if the takoyaki actually tasted decent. On the plus side, the octopus is quite generous in size.

Place: Kira Kira, Melawai
Menu:
Salmon Maki (65K) 9.2/10
Takoyaki (40K) 4.8/10
Tamagoyaki Sushi (25K) 4.0/10

1. Great place for a get together, the ambience sets the mood, especially the bright natural lights and pleasing flower arrangements by the table
2. Plating aesthetics is on point
3. Well-poached eggs

What could be improved 🙏
1. The Eggs Benedict didn't really give a wow-factor and left me with unforgettable impressions, it was nearing to bland. Maybe the tator tots could be replaced with baked potatoes instead
2. I was expecting for a more well-seasoned sauce for the hollandaise
3. The bread could be better, with the option for it to be crispier because the crunchy texture is necessary especially when the toppings are all soft and creamy

Place: Cork and Screw
Menu: Eggs Benedict add on Salmon (5.8/10)

1. The interior seems refurbished, does not feel like a fast food joint anymore, but a café place you can hang out with a friend.
2. You can order using a screen, speedier process.

1. Consistency of fries, they were not as good as usual. Don’t get me wrong, a meh Mcdonald’s fries is still great. But I think they just need to be a tad bit longer to be fried, they were still a bit pale.
2. Watermelon soda is not the best. Somehow I expected soda water with a bit of watermelon flavouring added. Turns out it is Sprite so the taste of watermelon is not too dominant. Great effort to innovate with new products, McDonald’s is always experimenting with something new, while some innovations work (shout out to chocolate pie), other’s maybe could still use improvement. Will stick with Coca Cola, thank you!

Place: McDonald’s Tebet
