I love this place!!!

To start with, I love the deco with their comfortable sofas, chic dining wares and the half – round table with sofa seats in their respective “cave”. The colours are vibrant, with cheery music and friendly waiters/resses… I have very little to complain.

And cool menu! Literally and technically. It’s printed in magazine style, glossy paper and all, with tantalizing pics of the best they have to offer and is just plain cool! The list of goodies made us all drool and pore with such sweet agony that the waiter had to be sent away as we took our sweet time deciding. The list of dessert and chocolate beverages will send you wild and reconsider your earlier main course. They also had this small print next to each item e.g. diet friendly, sinful, daboom! And so forth to guide your pick. Vegetarians alike would find the menu to their liking (and will never regret their decision of becoming one) as there are many vegetarian entrees which even we non-vegan agreed as palatable. The pricing of each item is pretty much acceptable, Secret Recipe price standard.

By the way, small eaters beware! Some entrée really come in large portion such as the pastas and meat.

I just love their…

1. Fisherman’s clam chowder

Oh my God… generous amount of succulent clams in this creamy soup is sure to drive anyone wild. Too bad it does not come with garlic bread which is a separate entrée (evil!).


2. Mo’ mushroom

Mushrooms and more mushrooms! I love this vegetarian sandwich! The sautéed mushrooms and onions… the melted cheese… And wholemeal bread has never tasted better toasted. Suitable for small eater and those who wants to compensate for dessert (like me ^_^).


3. Mushroom Medley Pizza

Another vegetarian entrée generously topped with all sorts of mushrooms and cheese… heavenly!


4. Spaghetti Bolognese with Giant Meatballs

Giant indeed! I felt like I’ve just eaten a week worth of meat after I finished this one. Juicy, giant meatballs… heaps of sauce…

Sprinkle the cheese powder sparingly as the sauce tends to be salty sometimes.


Then there are others, I forgot to note down the exact name of each entrée:
- Under the soup section: the (5 fat) mussels in tomato based soup is worth a try though some may find it a tad bland. Cheese powder helps.

- Dessert: the deep fried Mars bar with ice cream of your choice and chocolate sauce… The melted Mars caramel oozing as you chew is just… To be eaten hot. Diet UNFRIENDLY but just plain LOVELY!

- Pasta section: Vegetarian lasagna. Bye bye Moo… Hello Tabasco. Dig in!

-Drinks: caramel hot chocolate, served with generous dollop of cream and colorful marshmallows… Thick, sweet, creamy… Lovely! Soak your marshmallows and stir the cream a little for the rapture. Green Apple Cooler is pretty nice and fizzy, pretty to look at. Lovers’ sunset… I agree with the sunset but where are the lovers? Not bad anyway. Lemonade… a tad too sweet.

To sum it up, I love this place!!!!
