Checked out the new For The People; a new cafe which had recently opened its doors at Hamilton Road, taking over the former premises of now-defunct 11 Hamilton and serves up a pretty good variety of items from all-day brunch, to pasta, burgers and mains alongside pastries and cakes and a list of beverages including specialty coffee, tea and alcoholic options.

Just wanting to go for something on the simpler side, the Garlic Aglio Olio is pretty decent — a rather safe dish to go for here. The linguine comes al-dente, carrying a firm bite and tossed in sufficient oil for that slurpy mouthfeel; came with bits of garlic and also a drizzle of white wine in the cooking process that helps to provide much of the flavour to the pasta. Providing patrons with an add-on to go for either Mushroom, Prawns or Bacon at an additional cost, the prawns which we had opted for were pretty plump and fresh and provided a natural sweetness to the dish. That being said, we wished that they had paid more attention in the plating of the dish; noticed some specks of tomato-based sauce that ended up on the plate and also on some of the prawns that seemed to be unintentional — details that should be better taken care of considering it being a specialty cafe after all.
