Three Buns Quayside: Bring on the Buns

Post author By Amelia Ow
Post date November 15, 2018
No Comments on Three Buns Quayside: Bring on the Buns

Grill’s on! When Three Buns invited us to try some of their succulent burgers, we knew we had to say yes. For the uninitiated, Three Buns started off churning out juicy burgers and succulent dawgs at Potato Head Singapore, one of the hippest hangouts in town. Their popularity grew, and now this well-loved burger joint has set up shop along Robertson Quay to cater to the growing demands and appetites of their loyal customers.

First thing we noticed is that they don’t serve utensils. That’s because they strongly believe in sustainability, hence the recycled wood walls and minimal use of utensils. Also, Chef Adam Penney recommends you to chow down these bad boys with your bare hands. So don’t hesitate to get your hands dirty like how we did!

Fun fact: The chef loves hip hop so if you’re a fan, you’ll love the old school hip hop music playing in the background. You can probably also relate to burger names like Redman and Bun DMC, and their personalised stickers are adorable too!

Sly Stallone

Every bite of the Sly Stallone is refreshing and satisfying. The burger is packed with pesto flavour, but not so overpowering and you can still taste the layer of flavours from the Australian Dorper lamb patty, Quader de Cavra cheese, juicy heritage tomato slices, and crunchy lettuce. The lamb patty is tender and fragrant so it’s easy on the taste buds. Sandwiched between two thick toasted demi brioche bun, be prepared to get messy with this one.

Redman

Love beef rendang? This one’s right up your alley. Redman burger does an interesting spin on beef rendang. In one bite, you can taste the tender 24-hour cooked black Angus beef cheek rendang, pickle mooli (radish), and cucumber slices. The burger hits you with a subtle coconut flavour from the coconut mayo and toasted coconut demi brioche buns. This bad boy has a familiar yet unique local taste with a sweet and spicy kick.

Big Krabby Kane

Big Krabby Kane is our favourite. The blue swimmer crab patty covered in salted egg mayonnaise with a touch of chilli, lime, and coriander come together perfectly. We were pleasantly surprised by how thick and flavourful the patty is. The crisp lettuce adds a textural crunch to the burger. Shiok is the word to describe this dish.

Besides the burgers, another must-have on the menu is the Miso Dirty Fries. Crispy potato slices drenched in miso béarnaise sauce, smoked chicken sausage and floss, chives, scallions, and pickle chilli- this dish will whisk you away to sinful nirvana!

What better way to pair your burger than a cold, creamy milkshake? We were thrilled to try 3 MONKEYS, Monkey Shoulder infused banana milkshake. The kick from the whisky perks you right up and the hint of banana and generous amount of whipped cream mellows out the taste from the whisky. Before you know it, you would have finished this thirst-quencher in no time.

If that isn’t enough to tempt you, we’ve got good news to share! Add Three Buns to your supper list as they are offering 1-for-1 burgers or dawgs from Tuesdays to Sundays, starting from 9.30pm. Wind down after work at this relaxing spot after 5pm every Tuesdays to Thursdays to enjoy cocktails and beers at a starting price of $8. The best part? Bring along your furry babies and they get to devour angus beef patties for free when you dine here!

ChopePerks: What can you do with 10,000 Chope-Dollars?

Post author By Chope
Post date November 12, 2018
No Comments on ChopePerks: What can you do with 10,000 Chope-Dollars?

Ok, so you’re no newbie; you’re on your way to making Chope reservations like a pro, there’s a list of favourite restaurants you’ve dined at parked away in your brain, and your account is filling nicely with Chope-Dollars. Now what? It’s time to get spending, my friend. Multiply your Chope-Dollars, multiply your experiences with ChopePerks!

Let’s imagine you have 10,000 C$ – what could you do? (If you already passed that amount ages ago – teach us your ways, shifu.)

1. Fulfil your wanderlust

Cr: myotonic.org

At 1,000 KrisFlyer miles for every 1,200 C$ redeemed, this is seriously one of the best ways to get miles. Chope reservations are free, and with earnings starting at 100 Chope-Dollars per booking, swapping them out for miles will take no time at all. With 10,000 C$, you can redeem a whopping 8,000 Krisflyer miles, then use the remaining 400C$ to enjoy a 7% discount on Agoda hotel bookings. Pack your bags, you’re ready to go!

2. Dig in without wallet worries

Using vouchers to pay for a meal can be totally fine. Of course, don’t pull them out at key events like the first date or a very important business meeting with higher-ups, but at other times? They could make an already unforgettable experience even better. Redeem 10,000 C$ for $300 worth of cash vouchers that you can use to offset the bill at restaurants. Italian to Japanese, fine dining to casual cafes, your C$ can be used to make your tummy – and friends – happy without hurting your wallet.

Still not sure where you’re going yet? Then you might find it more useful to redeem your C$ for discount codes that entitle you to future restaurant voucher purchases on shop.chope.co.

3. Shop til you drop

Cr: mandalaybay.com

Let’s start with a little something for the makeup junkies, whether that’s you or someone you know. How does $5 off your Sephora online purchase sound? We did the math: your 10,000 C$ can be exchanged for $400 worth of Sephora makeup products (note: each user can only redeem a $5 voucher per transaction on Sephora). We know — we’ve already put this to good use. If you don’t fancy makeup, however, there are other lifestyle options from HipVan and CapitaStar vouchers to satisfy the shopaholic in you.

Krisflyer and Agoda rewards are available across all cities on Chope. For those who are in Bangkok, Jakarta, Hong Kong, and Singapore, get up and moving because you can redeem your C$ for GuavaPass reward. Ready to shop till you drop? Shopee rewards are yours to keep if you’re in Bangkok, Jakarta, and Bali. To our Thai friends in Bangkok, Happy Fresh and Starbucks perks are waiting for you! Also, our Hong Kong friends can redeem 4,000 or 8,000 Reward-U points with C$!

Here’s a tip: if you want to earn C$ faster, keep making reservations on Chope to hit the higher tiers. As you Chope your way up tiers with ChopePerks, the amount of C$ you earn will speed up as well.

Members and Bronze Members get 1X Chope-Dollars for every completed booking while Silver and Gold Members receive 1.25X and 1.5X Chope-Dollars respectively. Be the best of the best, a Platinum member, to boast 1.75X C$ for each booking.

The more C$ you have, the more rewards you can redeem! And after all that glorious eating, ChopePerks is here to give you the rewards you rightly deserve. Remember: only reservations made through www.chope.co and the Chope app are counted, so download the app today!

The Best M9+ Australian Wagyu in Causeway Bay

From the newly launched Nice Yakiniku & Fine Wine

If your friend’s got a penchant for meaty and hearty meals, Nice Yakiniku & Fine Wine might just get him or her drooling. It’s hard for meat lovers to resist the charming Nice Yakiniku & Fine Wine located in Causeway Bay. As the name suggests, the restaurant features a variety of fine beef from Japan, Australia and the United States. The rare and special M9+ Australian Wagyu is worth a try, in addition to a variety of European wines to pair with.

Stepping into the restaurant, you can see the cabinet of dry-aged beef and a variety of famous wines neatly placed in a transparent wine cellar. Besides the stylish interior and high quality ingredients, the food here is incredibly good. There are two VIP rooms available for booking if you are having a large gathering.

The menu has a wide selection of beef. Among them, the M9+ Australian Wagyu is the most impressive: the quality is top-notch, with a soft colour and even oil distribution. The chef skilfully cooks it over a charcoal fire on the spot, making the outer part slightly tender and fragrant while keeping the inside soft and tender.

The Japanese A5 wagyu and the thinly-cut sirloin with onion and Japanese sauce are the perfect combination. The meat of the sirloin is tender and flavourful. You must try the Japanese A5 Wagyu with Onsen Tamago Rice! This bowl filled with pearl rice absorbing the aroma of roasted beef will leave you wanting for more. Finally, the Signature Dessert with pale yellow grapefruit gel, served with crispy pear slices is the perfect way to end the meal.

Discover a hidden world of Japanese yakitori at Bincho

Post author By Michelle Tan
Post date November 2, 2018
No Comments on Discover a hidden world of Japanese yakitori at Bincho

People looking for a unique dining experience should head to Bincho, which combines the contemporary and the traditional. Inspired by the yakitori-ya in Osaka, this hip bistro operates in an old-school kopitiam. In the day, you’ll find them hawking unassuming local favourites, such as mee pok and kopi roti. Come nightfall, the space transforms into a modern open-concept yakitori bar headed by Chef Asai Masashi, with the bar featuring progressive and playful Japanese-inspired cocktails, hard liquor, sake, and more. If your date’s a sucker for Japanese food, bring them here to indulge in some skewer-less meats that are full of smoky, meaty goodness!

Head down the Moh Guan Terrace alley and around the back of the unassuming Hua Bee stand to find a metal door with small Bincho lettering. Then down the rabbit hole you go, transitioning briskly from the traditional neighbourhood feel to a hipster atmosphere, complete with rough edges, shady lighting, and oxidized copper tones. Take a seat at the marbled bar for a front row seat to all the grilling action, or the domed booths to get your drink on, like the restaurant’s most notable fruit, herb and sake-centric cocktails from the resident barkeep. With both food and drink menus largely in-flux at the whim of the chef and bartender, it’s best to go with the daily recommendations.

Food-wise, skewer-less yakitori is just the smoky, meaty goodness you’re accustomed to. Chicken parts are especially tasty, while the Miyabi hot pot offers an alternative to the grill. As with most hyper-cool gastrobars, both portions and elbowroom are limited, while prices tend to be upmarket. However, with an underground vibe this cool, and a contrasting concept this daring, both the search and cost are certainly worth it!
