A healthy Sunday brunch after church @ Queen St. Lovely on a cool morn!

One of the best crumble and pairing of apple n rhubarb! Very refreshing and dessert to pair with a cuppa hot matcha.

This Christmas Special has Damon quiche, pork stew, creamy meat balls, salad and soup. So yummy! Always nutritious and heart warming in Muji cafe.

Took me 25mins to place order for me and 2 others… Burpple code redemption part is fine, but the experience on the Heybo online ordering was a true pain - slow to load and select your BYObowl, requires you to sign in to use Burpple redemption, then requires your credit card to be added, and I was constantly getting error message here without much info to troubleshoot…

Food is nice and worth with the Burpple code!

It was a raining day when I was here, so I go with something warm like this golden pao fan.

They used short grain rice here which is braised in the umami-rich oceanic broth, topped with sauteed king oyster mushrooms.

There’s also a small bowl of crispy rice to give you the texture in the soup.

Small portion but definitely good enough considering you still have other course items to enjoy.

Elemen is popular for their meatless set menu, which consists of either 5 course during the weekdays or 8 course during the weekends.

All course set will come with this appetiser and your choice of salad.

The appetiser is this platter which 3 different taste bites, which has a specific order of eating it from left to right.

As for the salad, there’s a few options to choose from and one of it would be this Japanese tofu with century egg. Served chilled and soft.

Loved their Hakka Yong Tau Foo (SGD $15) rendition, which features 6 large pieces of ingredients, all stuffed with a filling of tender minced pork and soft fish paste. There's 2 spongy tofu bean curd puffs, 1 crisp yellow bell pepper, 2 wispy bean curd skin wraps, 1 crunchy bitter gourd, and 1 springy tofu bean curd. Immersed in a thick soy bean gravy, these carry grainy vegetal meaty sweet savoury salty earthy flavours. Very filling, great when paired with white rice.
.
The Steamed Whole Sea Bass Fish Hong Kong Style In Soy Sauce (SGD $32) features a fresh sea bass fish, medium in size (about 600g - 700g), with tender flaky fish meat. Dressed with crisp parsley, scallions, and red chili, which lend vegetal sweet spice flavour. The robust soy sauce gravy carries bold salty earthy savoury flavour, lifting the overall taste of the dish.
.
Loved the ample gravy in the Tropical Fruits Sweet & Sour Pork (SGD $18), which is thick and sour sweet in flavour. The chunks of tender chewy pork loin have meaty sweet sour savoury flavour, while the juicy fruits (lychee, pineapple, strawberry) lend fruity sweet flavour, and the crunchy cucumber lends a cooling vegetal sweet note.

The Kai-Lan With Olive Leaves And Garlic (SGD $16) has large crunchy stalks of kai-lan / Chinese kale / Chinese broccoli with vegetal sweet flavour, dressed with wispy deep-fried olive leaves with vegetal earthy savoury bitter flavour, and crisp fried garlic chips with savoury salty spice flavour.

I decided to go budget for set meal as I decided to get meatless minestrone soup (not bad but quite waterish), chicken ham & cheese sandwich (really don't like tomato and overall i did enjoy sandwich) and bottled water ($9.90) and also free soup samples (lobster bits) I didn't aware abt it until I saw receipt lol.
