Sinpopo Brand @ Joo Chiat Road - Revamped Menu Of Local Food With A Fusion Twist

Sinpopo 1

Sinpopo Brand at Joo Chiat has been around for 9 years and is most known for its focus on local food with a fusion twist and cakes inspired by local flavours, such as pulut hitam and putu piring.

Sinpopo 2

Staying true to their brand story, they have recently launched a refreshed menu featuring return favourites and new innovative creations.

Sinpopo 3
Sotong Hitam with Handmade Crab Tortellini 3.8/5

The Sotong Hitam with Handmade Crab Tortellini ($20) showcases Sinpopo's unique take on tortellini. Instead of the usual pasta skin, the crab meat filling is wrapped with dumpling-like skin. Together with slices of squid, they are then done in a fragrant squid ink rempah that carries quite a kick of spice.

Sinpopo 4
Crab Bee Hoon 3/5

The Crab Bee Hoon ($19) is a popular return from the previous menu. It has vermicelli in a savoury seafood broth, topped with crab meat and roe.

Sinpopo 5
Baked Miso Cod Hor Fun 3.5/5

The perfectly baked miso atlantic cod was the highlight of the Baked Miso Cod Hor Fun ($23). The cod was buttery and creamy and paired nicely with the lightly crisped-up pieces of fish maw. At this price tag, however, we wished there was a stronger wok hei and a bigger portion of hor fun.

Sinpopo 6
Braised Cabbage in Superior Stock 3.5/5

A new interesting section on the refreshed menu is the Smoke-kissed Veggies to Share. There are 4 veggies to choose from, the Jambu Jack Salad, Butter Grilled Maitake, Nai Bai with Parmesan, and what we had, the Braised Cabbage in Superior Stock ($14). The savoy cabbage is braised till soft, grilled and served in a thick sauce. The overall smokiness was pleasant but could be much less salty.

Sinpopo 7
Durian Pengat Crème Brûlée 3.8/5

If you have a sweet tooth, the rich Durian Pengat Crème Brûlée ($14) is one to consider. It has mao shan wang durian flesh cooked down with pandan and gula melaka, layered under custard and a caramelised top. On the side, there is coconut cream and biscuits to go along. It can get quite sweet and heavy, so it would be good to have this as a sharing dessert.

Sinpopo 8
Sng Muay Pop

I enjoyed the fizzy Sng Muay Pop ($7)! It was scorching on the day of our visit, and this combination of 7-Up, lime and sour plum was refreshing. It's not too sweet, and they thoughtfully added preserved plum ice cubes. This drink helped to balance out the heavier-tasting dishes.

Sinpopo 9
Sinpopo Teh Tarik

The Sinpopo Teh Tarik ($5) was a recommendation by the staff. Each cup is served with a pair of in-house cookies - we got the black sesame flavour. The teh tarik was smooth and sweet.

Niqqi's The Cheese Prata Shop @ Clementi Road

20140921_110327ed

If you have been following my blog, you will release that I started to review more on food establishments in the west of Singapore. I have now relocated from Hougang to West Coast. This is a foreign land to me but at the same time I am excited to expand my food prints to find out more delicious food and share it with my readers.

Teh Tarik 2.8/5

Back then if I have craving for prata, I would head to Upper Thomson but now I just need to take a 5 minutes to Niqqi's The Cheese Prata Shop near my place. I will usually have a cup of Teh Tarik ($0.90) to go with my prata. Unfortunately the teh tarik was pretty diluted without much of the tea taste and fragrant.

20140921_110333ed
Plain Prata 3.8/5

20140921_110403ed
Egg Prata 3.8/5

This place is called The Cheese Prata Shop, so I will assume they are popular for their cheese prata. However I am not big fan of having cheese in prata, so I gone for my usually order of one Plain Prata ($0.90) and a Egg Prata ($1.50). The prata here is the fluffy type which I enjoyed. However the curry gravy was only mediocre.

20140921_110337ed
Plaster Prata 3.8/5

If you love to have your egg and what it to be intact, then you should go for the Plaster Prata ($1.50). It is basically prata with a fried egg which you get a bite of both egg and prata together.

Jalan Kayu Prata Cafe @ The Atrium Orchard

With coffee and tea chains like Starbuck, Spinelli, TCC and etc at almost every corners of Orchard, it is great to have Jalan Kayu Prata Cafe in Orchard road serving up one of my favourite hot beverages, Teh Tarik. It is a hot tea beverage made from black tea and milk by pouring the mixture repeatedly between two vessels giving it a thick frothy top.

I was not hungry so I did not try the roti prata or other Indian food on the menu. The Teh Tarik was really good and smooth. It also much cheaper than a cup of coffee from the cafe next door.

Teh Tarik 4/5
