Lotus Tea (S$5.50+/ pot)

I thought the breakfast item was S$10 nett first 50 orders from 5th to 20th October but I was charged the normal price as the staff told me that the promotion was only for weekdays which was not stated on its instagram page. Quite misleading.

The dish was 2 fried eggs, caramelised onions, pate, luncheon meat, sausage, fish cake, and mayonnaise served in a mini wok, accompanied with a mini baguette, pickled shredded carrot and radish, pepper and soya sauce. Looking like a big breakfast, I preferred to eat it like a mini open sandwich through spreading the baguette with pate and mayonnaise, topping with fried egg, caramelised onion, luncheon meat and pickled carrot and radish. It’s like a bit of everything in a mouthful.

The guys’ favourite were the cold seafood section and Wagyu steak.

Lovely selection of bread which I spotted a buttery soft brioche.

Live stations for pasta and noodles. Live craving for roasted Turkey, roasted beef and ham.

Don’t forget to request for complimentary coffee or tea.

Upgrade to edible cup for additional S$3 which tasted like Lao Hong 漏风
Far off from the wafer cup which I had before in a cafe in Duxton Hill.
So tough to bite. Not worth to upgrade.
