Every seating here was exclusive, from round to rectangles tables to cushioned or non-cushioned chairs... you pick what you like. We nonchalantly headed for the most eye-catching spot where i had the privilege to dine in a wagon carriage.
Talk about service. For such an exquisite place like this, i would certainly expect something good (especially where taitais make up most of their patrons). Initally skeptical of that aged indian man and young chap waiter, i was convinciingly proven wrong. We received friendly smiles, affable attitudes and initiative water re-filling.
Now for the food. The menu featured a variety of ala carte dishes (even foie gras), all promising but highly-priced. A sensible choice was the set lunch menu at $15.95 for a starter, main (pasta/sandwich) and dessert.
Homemade Creamy Mushroom Soup
Watery and diluted soup tasting of mushrooms with some garlic. Made it through tastewise but failed in texture.
Garden Greens with "Vietnamese" Dressing
Had a wonderful bunch of toasted almond bits hidden beneath and a sourish dressing packed with asian feel. A hard parmesan toast with clingy cheese came along.
Smoked Salmon Open Sandwich
I loved everything on this plate. Literally hamburger buns below sliced cucumbers, generous portions of smoked salmon and a sprinkle of dill. The coleslaw unusually consisted of broccoli and carrots bits tossed in a cocktail dressing. So hearty and appetising!
Pasta Arrabiatta with Fresh Prawns
If you are not the scandivanian tea time person, opt for the pasta. Fusilli accompanied with a generous serving of 5 deveined prawns.
The waiter then approached with two plates of mini cake sqaures, and meticulously he introduced each one to us.
Carrot Cake & Chocolate Marble Cake
Chocolate Fudge Cake & Peach Cheesecake
Particularly memorable was the carrot cake, a surprisingly addictive rendition of something never on my to-eat-list. I loved how the carrots, spices, sweet cheese topping and chunky walnuts fitted into a whole wonderful combination.
Also relished off the lovely chocolate marble and velvety cheesecake with much ease. Only that dryly burnt chocolate fudge failed to impress.
All in all, their cakes are really worth returning for!
