A refined lunch experience that won’t disappoint! If you love calm and cozy vibes, this spot is a must-try.
🌟 Overall: Perfect for dates or small group gatherings. The ambiance is quiet and elegant, and every dish has its own little surprise! 🍞 1st Course – Sourdough + Homemade Truffle Butter Soft sourdough paired with house-made truffle butter. Spreading it on warm, toasty bread? Pure satisfaction.
🥗 2nd Course – Grilled Romaine Grilled romaine topped with Korean-style chili anchovy sauce, parmesan, seaweed flakes, and shredded radish. Refreshing with a twist – that Korean fusion flavor was such a pleasant surprise!
🍵 3rd Course – Dehydrated Mushroom Broth This soup was next level! Made with dried mushrooms, lily bulb, charred onion, kelp, and black fungus. Light but incredibly umami – felt like sipping a high-end dashi at a fancy Japanese restaurant.
🍽️ Main Course (choose one): 🍗 Pan Grilled Chicken Breast Surprisingly tender! Served with ratatouille and mashed potatoes – light, healthy, and ideal if you’re not feeling like a heavy meal. ✨
🐟 Panko Fried Perch Crispy on the outside, juicy inside. Paired with apple–Jerusalem artichoke puree and Thai galangal sauce with coriander – sweet, tangy, and super addictive!
🍰 Dessert – Macaron & Mini Chocolate Tart Cute and delicate! The macaron was sweet but not too much, and the chocolate tart was rich and silky. Perfect with a coffee or tea to end the meal on a high note.
☕ Includes a choice of Coffee or Tea I had the iced latte – it was okay, not bad, but nothing too special (to be fair, it's not a café 😆). The jasmine tea was basic but decent – no complaints!
🔎 Ambience & Vibe Modern minimalist design with an open kitchen – neat, stylish, and inviting. Warm lighting adds a relaxed, elevated feel. Whether you’re dining solo or coming for a quiet date, it’s the perfect setting. 💕
I went during lunch hours (Thursday–Saturday, 12pm–2:30pm). It wasn’t crowded, super peaceful, and everything flowed at the perfect pace.
The staff were kind and attentive, introducing each dish patiently. You can really feel the heart behind the food and service ❤️
