Sunday brunch... wanted something healthy, so went for the passion fruit, garden greens with vinaigrette dressing. It was interesting that the chef mingled some spring onion with the usual salad greens. I didn't think that it enhanced the flavor in anyway but I really like the passion fruit addition. It is a bit overpowering but at the same time refreshing. Bringing along the bitterness that you normally derive from the red endive or lollo rosso. If you don't know what I am talking about, look this up:

I ordered the pasta as my main.... It was sort of like a stir fry spaghetti with lean chicken slices and tomatoes. It was disappointing... too bland, too dry. I think it could use a bit of gravy or at least a bit more oil. Maybe if they substitute the olive oil with peanut oil, then perhaps it will be more fragrant. Maybe it is me, I like my char kuey teow too much.

The baked fish was recommended in the menu and it was such a delight. The fish was slightly coated with cheese and oven baked. So, the fish is still juicy and moist. The cheese adds to the flavor and besides the cheese, the chef also mashed and added some cherry tomatoes which further enhances the flavor. Very nice... rather simple dish but extremely delicious. I think this can be easily replicated at home for parties or gatherings.
