To be very frank, i was totally thrilled about having my first proper meal here.

The reason was clearly not Daniel Tay, but more of the entire ambience and charming menu that have long grabbed my heart. I liked the bright and clean concept, tapping on colours and quirky lights to bring out a youthful vibe. The menu boasted immense variety from their classic french desserts, pastas, sandwiches and even a page of local-flavours, plus those tantalising array of cakes and pastries at the front counter... simply smile-incurring! (:


Pumpkin Soup ($6.80)

We intended to hit on dinner special but unfortunately it happened to be unavailable for the eve of public holidays. Dad suggested ordering the items individually.

We started off with a bowl of orange pumpkin soup and toasted breadsticks stacked above. A tad watery, but i reckon pure pumpkin essence since i couldn't sense any presence of starchy potatoes or heavy cream (except for the garnish).


Seafood Pasta ($15.80)

Spaghetti, unshelled prawns, squid rings and large mussels plonked into a deep puddle of red tomato sauce. Unconsistently mixed, this pool of basil-dominated sauce offered lasting sweetness and a strong presence of white wine. The freshness of the seafood stood on the average scale.


Spaghetti Vongole ($14.80)

Many many clams steeped in an abundance of white wine sauce, peppery and rather cleansing. Pasta portion was just right too.


Walnut Cheesecake ($6.20)

Dad sensibly reserved this last slice before the meal. Their version of walnut cheesecake was certainly not made to look lavish but with a standard exceededing my expectations. Dry, easily crumbly with a touch of maple kept in optimal moderation.


Raspberry Souffle ($9.80)

I simply loved the assuring freshness of such made ala-order desserts. Upon ordering i could literally hear the whisking of egg whites and observe how the dessert chef monitored its baking process.

15 minutes later my souffle came heightened over the ramekin, piping hot and airy-fairy on the insides. Lovely! The forest fruits icecream shone with a rich burst of berries and fancy crispy granola toppings. So divine, i was practically licking every drip off that plate.

In total- a soup, 2 pastas and 2 desserts imposed a $60+ damage. I am not complaining becasue the desserts were truly worthy, but i have to admit the no-free-water rule largely crippled the experience. They should seriously rethink about that.
