Although the queuing place outside is hot and uncomfortable, getting into the restaurant immediately soothes our nerves. The interior design is simple and tranquil, making it a suitable place for chatting.
The coffee here is told to be famous. My friend has ordered a flat white of fruity blend ($42), which is accompanied by some almond nuts. The waiter has advised us to have the almond first before tasting the coffee. The coffee is smooth with soft aroma.
My pick is the choco blend latte ($42), accompanying with some dried blueberries. I love how the restaurant attends to the finest details on the choice of appetisers with different coffee, like fruity blueberries with choco blend coffee, and nutty almond with fruity blend coffee, making a contrast for the coffee taste to stand out. Mine has a stronger flavour comparatively, but it is not bitter at all.
Lobster benedict ($178)
Halved lobster is boiled to perfection, with no overcooked roughness. Salted egg yolk paste tops the seafood-sweetness of the lobster. smileheart The walnut and apricot bread is my favourite, with a perfectly timed runny poached egg. Kale and radish adds to the freshness of the dish. Given such a huge portion of lobster, the expensive price is relatively reasonable.
Scrambled Eggs and Salmon on Toast ($138) is even more abundant in terms of ingredients. The most eye-catching one is the diced salmon on ripe, creamy avocado paste. Putting them onto the black sourdough toast is amazing. Accompanied with silky smooth scrambled eggs and flavoured mushroom, the portion is generous as a big brunch. I personally prefer this pick than the salmon tartare one as this seems having a larger variety of food to stimulate your taste buds.
The price came out to be a bit expensive for a brunch. But given that quality and quantity of food, this meal is more than satisfying to both our eyes and taste buds.
