Kraze Burger - Fresh ingredients on doughy goodness

It was a lazy weekend evening and we were in Plaza Singapura, scouring the area for a good dinner location when the name Kraze Burger came up. Since there were already plans to head to MBS for it, we thought, why not here instead? 

So we trooped there in a trio, and got ourselves promptly seated despite quite a crowd. Good job on the spacious seating area KB. The Korean brand specialises in hand made burgers and they were served fast and hot; I like. Luckily we were near the kitchen too, so the waiters got to us in under about ten steps :p

Items ordered to share were:

1) The  Semi Nude ($16)

It was basically a burger served without the top patty, with an egg sitting atop instead. At first I was skeptical, as it looked like any other normal burger but at an inflated price. 

Like...: "Take away one side of my bun and still charge limbeh sixteen dollars, seriously??" 

Ok.. That was the masculine side of me taking over. Anyway. My first bite into the patty got me a mouthful of fresh tasting meat that was easy on the palette. Couple that with the crisped edges of the sunny side up and the special Kraze sauce; it became a symphony on my lips. 

Pretty sauce swirls that cleverly fill up the half empty plate HAHA.

Side view of the semi nude: onions, bacon and egg layered over fresh beef.

2. Idaho Garlic Fries ($8):  

Was expecting thin fries but wuuu weet, in came fat sexy wedges drizzled with a kickass spicy and sweet sauce. The latter had a garlicky aftertaste which didn't overwhelm and   it went surprisingly well with the whipped cream that was served together. Shioknesssss. 

3. The Matiz ($13)

We were intrigued by the name of this as it sounded like "mati" (die) in Malay. Not very auspicious but we forgot about it after a while as we got too greedy eating heh. 

Also forgot to take more pics of it :/ but it was basically a semi- nude with a top bun without the egg. Not very creative here.... but I guess the name comes from the generous servings of sweet potato fries and salad. Full until "mati". Figuratively of course. My say? Go for this as it is definitely more value for money since they use the same patty. Got free fries somemore. WIN.

4. Chili Beef Dip ($5.80)

Sorry for the sore lack of pictures but this is a good dip to try, with it full of big meat chunks in an appetising hot sauce.

Ended off with some sweets from Nana's Green Tea as well: 

Imma sucker for all things green tea and Nana has never failed me thus far ♡

The Big Sheila's: a twist to the usual brunch!

We were introduced to this lovely cafe by a good friend, L. The moment we stepped out of the car, I went, " Eh b, are we in Jalan Riang?" Really, this place on Swan Lake Avenue was reminiscent of the Jalan Riang stretch, which houses good restaurants like Wimbly Lu and La Pizzaiola. Go read my posts on them if you haven't!! )

Whenever the word "brunch" is mentioned, he standard motley of eggs benny, toast and sausages comes to mind yes? Mine, at least. Haha! Just imagine our foodie faces lighting up when we learned that TBS has a menu that is a far cry from the norm.

Here goes....

1) Chicken Salt Fries with Chicken gravy & Aioli ($14): This was definitely a favourite... what can you not adore about fluffy, crispy fries that were soaked with fragrant chicken flavours? Je t'aime chicken salt fries. Plus, the generous serving made sure we got more than enough to go around. Happyyyy like bird. 

2) My Big Balls in a Threesome ($24): 

The cheeky name caught our eye and we decided to give it a shot. The three balls consisted of quail egg, mushroom risotto and beetroot respectively. The balls were visually interesting and flavourful.. the flavours didn't leave a big impression though their sizes definitely did ;) 

3) The Big Bacon Baguette ($20):

This was a truly enjoyable item for us, where six strips of equally crispy and fragrant Fat meat were decadently served with butter and Italian salt for us to kiap with a toasty baguette on the side. Sigh; if only life was always this good. Haha! 

Just look at this striped prize: 

Too bad we didn't have time to try out the desserts as we had to leave the restaurant due to their sitting timings at 10am, 1130am and 1pm on Sunday. TBS seems very popular, so do make ur reservations and take note of the timings! We had some misunderstandings with the service staff because of them pesky timings but luckily Fleur Glover (the woman behind TBS, which is her moniker since childhood) salvaged everything.  老板就是老板, 会做生意!  Literally translated: A boss will always be a boss, as he knows how to do business. No details, but you bet we will definitely return for more of the generous servings and service ;)

And... what's brunch without some coffee eh?

 Penny University was just round the corner, and this establishment has its name from 18th century coffeehouses in London, England. Coffee was sold for a penny and people from all walks of life could come together In the same place, just enjoying some good drips.

But.... Penny Uni, why is your coffee so much more than a penny? Haha! No complaints about the food or place as it was vibrant, noisy and energetic with decent coffee and good cakes. We had the Peppermint and Banana Toffee ones, which were recommended by the waitress. Good job lady! I just felt that the name was a mismatch, as our bill came to $40 for 5 coffees and 2 cakes sniff sniff.  

  

We were all feeling satisfactorily stuffed by mid noon and it could only mean t'was a glorious foodie Sunday well spent. Now, time for you folks to go check these places out and let WLF know if you found it good as well! ;)

BUT I JUST DISCOVERED I CAN BLOG FROM MY ANDROID PHONE.

COOL SH** or what.

Hahaha ok enough with the caps.
So, time for another late post. (But that, people, is now ancient history, given this god-sent app.)

Not so recently, we checked out House@barracks in the Dempsey area and kinda fell in love with the place.

Surrounded by foliage, open spaces and friendly waiters, what's there to hiam about?

We had the paprika pumpkin fries, if memory serves me right, and it was so light and fragrant that we almost finished it before the mains arrived.

Mains ordered were the Eggs Benedict and 7-Layered Pancakes.

You can't really go wrong with these, and the guys at House knew what they were doing.

The poached eggs were soft, runny, with a creamy hollandaise sauce that was light on our palate.

Pass already.

When the pancakes were served, the table went "Woah" as it was a pretty and thick stack filled with nuts, raisins, apricots and berries. Fluffy, soft goodness drizzled with a maple syrup that wasn't cloyingly sweet. (You know, like some girls who are. Ahem.)

House got flying colours by the time we finished with our pancakes.

Will definitely be back!
