Amazing as usual. Especially loved the mango salsa, but wished the fish to taco ratio could be higher. Also tried the grilled salmon with mushrooms and potatoes which tasted really fresh and I loved the seasoning on the mushrooms. Just felt that the salmon was a little bit over cooked, but still delicious!

Be ready to wait up to an hour for a weekday lunch if you visit without reservation! We visited Scott Square outlet. This dish was definitely filling and not forgetting the full blast coffee in its unique flavours!

The egg was VERY soft boiled and not as cooked as I would have preferred my poached eggs to be, or rather as poached eggs are usually served (in my experience). The English muffin as well was very small in comparison to the salmon and egg. Lastly the hollandaise sauce I suspect was made with olive oil and was more like an aioli sauce instead as I found the sauce to have an overwhelming taste of olive oil which I found to be really distracting. Overall a disappointment really as I've enjoyed meals here before...!

Am not a usual fan of thin-crust base pizzas, but this Truffle portobello mushroom pizza found me taking another slice while raving about how delicious it was. The ambience was great and the service was 10/10 as well. I can foresee myself coming back here for my fix of pizza frequently!
