Opened to much fanfare, Eatbox was a spot that I was expecting to see crowds at for lunch when we made our visit on a weekday afternoon whilst being back in the office — the concept is a permanent feature by the same folks behind Artbox, which used to hold their annual events being a pop-up creative market every year. It takes over the former premises of the now-defunct Xin Tekka, and houses quite a number of new and familiar brands such as The Butcher Bar (serving up burgers and rosti), Flash Coffee (serving up specialty coffee), Okinawa Nigri (serving up Onigirirazu), and Toni Yakiniku (serving up Japanese Donburi) amongst others.
There are quite a number of beverage options at Eatbox, but the Rose Latte from Ethos stood out the most — a stall that serves bottled beverages, including bottled coffee. There is no doubt in how there was an evident floral note that made it so alluring, yet with a distinct hint of caffeine that made it especially well-balanced with an earthy punch in its body. Something which I would absolutely go for again.
With quite the variety of options covering Japanese fare, Thai food, light bites and beverage options, Eatbox is one of those places that probably has something for everyone. That being said, do expect a smaller option of mains here — most of the stalls seemingly catering to smaller plates and desserts though there are sufficient options that makes one want to revisit Eatbox again. Looking forward to go for the burgers at The Butcher Bar next, not to mention how it does seem like a pretty convenient location for a more “hipster” lunch around the workplace if one is in the mood to splurge just a little.
