Quaint café to spend a rare free afternoon. Their sweet set at $14 which is available only on weekdays is very value for money; the berries crêpe is already $14 plus hot latte at $5.50 😄 Wanna be back soon to try their savory crêpes.
The barramundi was fried till crispy in a light batter. I wonder if they gave me a perfectly fried egg by mistake as it's not on the menu photo 😅
This dish was simply shiok and filling. Besides chunky chicken thigh pieces, there were also rice cakes and potatoes. The tomato soup-like gravy was sweet and the spiciness kicked in later and I couldn't stop dousing the gravy onto my rice.
I've been coming here since about 10 years ago?! Don't expect nice presentation or refined flavors here as they serve homecooked Japanese meals which are light and comforting at the same time. The grilled salmon head is one of my must-orders; meaty, juicy and only $8.80+. You won't find such a good deal elsewhere.
A refreshing and light dish as compared to the rice and soba options. The quinoa salad consists of cranberries, corn, herbs and water chestnut which adds crunchy texture. Includes grilled chicken leg and I think squash (texture is crunchier than pumpkin).
The nasi briyani is definitely not as shiok as authentic ones but it was a good alternative. Monkey head mushrooms were used instead and the curry gravy packed a punch which went well with the fluffy basmati rice.
Quite a unique pesto which is sweet from the red capsicum used.
The beef patty was juicy and didn't have an overpowering beefy flavor. Bacon was crispy but I couldn't differentiate how special it was from typical bacons. The bun was a tad too soft and it quickly became soggy from the beef patty juice. Truffle fries were ok. I have not found one that's more "truffley" and crispier than Coastal Settlement's.
I've had ordered this dish countless times. Could have these comforting plump, fluffy pancakes anytime of the day.
The oysters are replaced by straw mushrooms. It takes some getting used to as the dish lacked the usual flavor of oysters. Nonetheless, we were pleased with the chilli sauce, the crispiness of the egg and the starch wasn't too gooey. Perhaps a bit too pricey for just eggs and mushrooms?
The pesto was minty and intense, yet not oily. Though the pasta wasn't that al dente, the dish overall was great with the mushrooms and cashews.
The you tiao was light and crispy, wrapped in thin and silky cheong fun. My all time favorite.
