The "TCM" Secret? My Mystery Birthday Dinner at Synthesis!

Birthdays always feel a little more special when there’s a surprise on the menu! This year, my bestie decided to kick off my celebration early by treating me to a pre-birthday dinner at Synthesis . It’s our very first time actually stepping through the doors. I saw this TCM hall inspired restaurant and bar 's unique atmosphere and fusion flavors on social media and I’m so ready to see if it lives up to the hype. Ready to join us for a night of good food and even better company? Let’s dive in!  Are we at TCM hall or ice cream store?  Array of Chinese herbs Can I have a concoction?  I need to cure my sweet tooth Tried their Seasonal flavour: Pu Er Tea with Longan Sorbet By the way, instead of ordering dessert at the table, we decided to grab some of their signature ice cream right outside the restaurant (spot in the photos above!). Taste test before getting one for yourself.  ​I’m not sure if it’s the unique ingredients or just the perfect end to a great meal, but why ...

Food Review | 炭 Taan Charcoal Grill


There is a saying that we should always go out there to explore more things. I apply this on food exploration. We spotted this grill bar one night after dinner. What attracts me was skewers and beers. Convenience and refreshing with a beer. Grilling is kind of heaty somehow.

Before 8pm, $1 per skewer so you can eat as much before the time is up. Simply fill up the order form and pass it to the server. They have others on the menu like noodles, oysters, a few to name and they are reasonably priced. Minimum order of 2 sticks for some skewers and you get to choose how you want your food to be seasoned. From original, Chinese seasoning, lightly salted and so on. 

Last but not least, 1 for 1 beer. Tiger or Heineken. Or Kirin. $12 for 2 pints. I remember the first time, I got my Tiger for $1 but was limited to 1 for 1 customer. I guess their promotion changes once a while for drinks. So do look out for their Happy Hour promotion. Till 8pm too.

Recommend you peeps to try their oyster topped with minced garlic, which cost $5.80 for one. Already vouched by my hub and my bff. I would think it is fresh because my hub has a sensitive taste bud towards freshness of food. So hope you peeps like. 

Now let me bring you through my food talk.









The only thing to note is their seating capacity is quite limited because of the small shop place. So come early. Cosy and nice ambience. You get to see the chefs grilling your food live. The setting is just like those Japan ramen shops. 

A great choice for budget diners. Decent food and reasonably priced. Try is to believe.
