Me: I'm color-coding it! [Explains system]
My sister: [chokes on a laugh]
Me: What?
My sister: Nothing, I was gonna say something but it's really mean.
Me: What is it? Like the suspected autism, or--?
My sister: No it's just, dude you're color-coding a cookbook. Get a job.

Brough mum to the now defunct Common Chefs Bistro at Jalan Legundi, Sembawang for an early dinner. Ordered myself the Duro Pork Chop (S$18+) with two juicy and succulent slices of bone-in pork chop drizzled with balsamic vinegar infused sauce and a sprinkling of thymes. Served with two sides of fries and a helping of mixed vegetables salad.
Got mum the spicy Arrabbiata Minced Beef & Mushroom Spaghetti (S$12+). The pasta looks good to me with the sprinkled grated cheese and herbs but mum don’t appreciate the spiciness of the chilli padi (bird's eye chilli).
To finish off the meal, a slice of local flavoured Ondeh Ondeh Cake (S$7.50+). Three slices of pandan flavoured sponge cake sandwiching two layers of desiccated coconut cooked with gula melaka (palm sugar) and more grated coconut sprinkled on top and around. Although a likeable dessert but I still missed the traditional ondeh ondeh snack.

Located in Sembawang’s Victory 8 is a hidden gem of a café - Common Chefs Bistro. I have been there a couple of times and this trip is to try their Duroc Pork Chop at the suggestion of my colleague. Since it was late afternoon and the sun pretty strong, I ordered the Iced Cappuccino (S$6++) while waiting for the main course to be served.
The Duroc Pork Chop (S$18++) arrived on a bed of red coral lettuces with a side of fries. Taking a slice, the pork boasts superior marbling and increased intramuscular fat to lend itself to a naturally juicer more tender product. The meat is sweet and creamy with hints of nuttiness. The tangy balsamic vinaigrette dressing on the lettuces served to balance out the richness of this protein cut. It was a good recommendation and I enjoyed every bite to the end.
To end the meal, a slice of Tiramisu Cake (S$6.90++) to “pick me up”. A decent sweet treat minus the ladyfingers (savoiardi) dipped in coffee and the hint of alcohol.
PS - As of August 27, 2023, Common Chefs Bistro has officially ceased operations. It is always sad to see a business you patronized closed but let’s hope they will open a new outlet somewhere else in the foreseeable future.

had the worst tacos of my life last night im still thinking abt them. it was like $20 for 2 (ROBBERY. WHAT THE HELL) and they were massive which is actually very unpleasant in a taco bc it makes them difficult to eat. tacos are meant to be like 4 bites max anything bigger and you shouldve made a burrito. though this wouldve been forgivable if the filling was good but it wasnt. it was like a taco size tortilla with a burrito size scoop of extremely wet shredded pork, underseasoned as hell, with way too much salad (mesculun lettuce too. the worst kind) and barely any pineapple or onion on top. totally out of wack ratio. the soggy pork was slopping out the sides and it tasted like bad. absolutely miserable nonsense taco im still quite upset about it.
