🍓 | Finally tried Pöonsti!

hi lemon8 bbs 🍓 went to poonsti today and here’s my honest thoughts!

🐟 salmon cured rosti $19

this was so yumss!! the house cured salmon went so well with the rosti and i finally get why it’s one of the crowd favourites ⋆˚࿔ the rosti was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, making each bite a perfect balance of texture and flavour <3 would def return to try their smashed avo rosti that’s also highly raved!

🍝 carbonara $18

this carbonara was so thick and flavourful 😮‍💨 my friend, a carbonara lover really liked this and rated this an 8.5/10!! i loved how well the mushroom went with the al dente pasta. the bacon had a charred honey taste, though I would’ve preferred it a little softer ><

🥔 tater tots $10

these came out hot and crispy, and went really well with the sauce provided. weren’t too oily too~

everything was super hearty and my favourite was definitely the salmon rosti!! was a happy and filling lunch, WORTH the hype!!

PÖONSTI (OWEN ROAD)
2025/9/3 Edited to

... Read moreIf you’re looking for a solid rosti spot around NUS, Pöonsti really stands out with its unique house-cured salmon rosti that offers a delightful texture and flavor balance. From personal experience, the rosti is crispy on the outside yet fluffy inside, making each bite enjoyable. The carbonara also impressed me, especially its creamy sauce combined with mushrooms and al dente pasta, although the bacon could be a bit softer to suit some tastes. Apart from these dishes, the tater tots are a nice side—hot, crispy, and not overly greasy, complemented well by their signature sauce. The ambience at Pöonsti feels cozy and casual, perfect for a satisfying lunch or casual catch-up. Plus, it’s conveniently located near NUS, making it easily accessible for students and visitors. For those curious about the menu, Pöonsti offers other favorites such as smashed avocado rosti and various café-style offerings, which come highly recommended by regulars. It’s worth exploring their full menu if you enjoy hearty, flavorful meals. Overall, Pöonsti strikes a good balance between price, taste, and portion sizes, making it a popular café for rosti lovers and foodies around Singapore’s university area. Whether you’re after a filling lunch or a casual brunch spot, Pöonsti is definitely a place to check out.

Girls, this spot is dangerous for your wallet 😭
I think I just found my new shopping obsession. 📍 With Love just opened a 3-storey store at Neil Road, and honestly, you could get lost in here for hours (in a good way). What I love is that it’s not your usual mall mix - it’s filled with independent brands from Singapore, Sydney, Ho Chi Minh

🥳 Finally tried it‼️ Totally beyond my expectations
🍴 Top 3 must-orders: • Mochi You Tiao: Crispy outside, soft & chewy inside. The combo of QQ mochi with crunchy dough stick is genius—so addictive you can’t stop at one bite! • Crab Pot: Juicy and fresh crab drenched in rich, flavorful sauce. The meat is super tender—perfect

🇰🇷| finally tried the viral rosé pasta
it is recommended to CatchTable in advance, because you will have to wait up to 1-1.5hours😳😳 also, they do not allow customers to queue outside if your queue number is still far off (sadly) there is also a minimum order policy of 1 main per pax (drinks are not included) Whole Pork Belly Rosé
