Smoked Salmon Lemon Carbonara ($18) was overly sour and lacked taste — think pasta cream cooked without seasoning except for excessive lemon juice added. The dish would have tasted better with a dash of pepper/ herbs.

N.Z. Striploin Roast Beef Sandwich ($17) had beef that was dry and tough. Topped with a sunny side up egg that was barely runny. There was no saving grace for this even with the sides (salad + baked potatoes), and we had to turn to our next best alternative, chilli sauce.

Spiced Chai Latte ($6) was the highlight of our meal! It was smooth, creamy and had just the right amount of caffeine which blended well with chai. If I were craving for a cup of good coffee, I will not hesitate to go for this. It’s just that good!
