Welcome to Lavender. Looking for Japanese places?

Probably a local izakaya. By that I mean it's run by locals and has no Japanese involvement. Interesting dish. It's curated like Western cuisine, but sando is Japanese. And the sando uses deep-fried seaweed and rice instead of bread. My fiancée pointed out the fish tasted cheap, but overall I'm quite pleased.

Espresso ribs 24+svc for 180g

Tender, with a proper espresso glaze. It's slightly bitter, quite sweet, and full of wicked espresso aroma.

$18.90. Quite nice and smells good.

Portion is just nice and the rice is soft and warm

Crunchy and moist.. nicely done

Very delicious and the grilled is just nice

Very crunchy

Chanced upon this newly opened cafe at citygate. Really love the canele and apple turnover that I bought more to go. Will be back to try other pastries :)
