Nice and cozy , japanese inspired cafe at Novena area. Park at the medical centre itself. We went on a sunday around 3pm w/o making reservations and were served a table without having to wait. But realized it is better to make reservations when I was seated inside, saw other patrons coming in with reservations. We are a group of 3 pax, ordered the Pistachio cream souffle, baco-mentaiko udon, fried corn rib, Katsu don , the tamago Sando, two coffee and one soda drink. I enjoyed the creamy chewy udon and the soft souffle the most. Pistachio cream was a first time for me over souffle and it was not overly sweet. Service was great too. Will come back again with family/friends.

Visited Otter & Pebbles and had a really enjoyable experience overall. The Salmon Ochazuke was excellent — a comforting dish where you pour tea over the rice, which completely transforms the flavour with each bite. It’s light yet satisfying, and definitely something unique to try. I also ordered the Jasmine Cheese Tea, and it was just as impressive. Best enjoyed like a dirty latte — sip it without mixing at first to get the rich, salty cheese foam, followed by the fragrant, slightly sweet jasmine tea beneath. The balance of salty, floral, and sweet notes worked really well together. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it a great spot to relax. Service was incredible too — attentive and friendly throughout. It’s a bit on the pricier side, but the quality of both food and drinks makes it worth it. Overall: 4.4/5 ⭐

Tried this place today and wah, the food really power. The salmon ochazuke was the star, fresh and flavourful, and pouring the hot tea over the rice made the whole bowl super comforting. The ramen was rich and satisfying, with generous toppings that made every bite shiok. Even the sides and little touches, like the tamago and pickles, were on point. The Hojicha chocolate latte was not bad, quite drinkable, but compared to the food it was more on the average side. Still, overall the meal was very enjoyable and the quality seriously impressed me. Will definitely come back again for another round.

Had a really lovely dining experience at Otter & Pebbles. The food was not only beautifully presented, but also tasted just as good as it looked. The Baco-Mentaiko Udon was rich, creamy and very satisfying, with a nice balance of savoury flavour and texture from the seaweed, spring onion and onsen egg. The fried avocado was crispy on the outside and paired nicely with the dipping sauce. For dessert, the Pistachio soufflé pancake was definitely a highlight — soft, fluffy and not overly sweet, with a rich pistachio flavour that matched perfectly with the ice cream and pistachio crumble. 10/10! Overall, the ambience was cosy, the presentation was impressive and the food was delicious. A great spot for both mains and desserts — would definitely come back again.

Otter and Pebbles offers Japanese-inspired food that is both affordable and scrumptious. The portions are actually rather huge. We had the Soymilk Kakuni Udon, Hanburuku Ochazuke yuzu matcha and Goes Nut for Pistachio Soufflé. The soy milk udon was well-seasoned and the udon was springy. The Hanbutuku was hearty. Our favourite is the soft and pillowy soufflé with pistachio cream, crumbles and ice-cream. The place does get a little crowded with a fair bit of noise during peak hours. When the crowd has dispersed, you can enjoy the ambience though there’s a 90-minute dining duration.
