As an attempt not to let the morning workout go to waste, my companion decided to go for something light. Essential Brew thus became our obvious choice.
Rouge Deluxe - $14.95
This humongous monster with savoury smoked salmon slices and freshly cut vegetable, came with a hearty serving of coleslaw and potato wedges, a healthy choice for her indeed.
Jasmine Caper Salmon - $15.95
Instead of being an ordinary salmon steak, I was pleasantly surprised by the added twist of Jasmine Tea taste. There are other tea-infused dishes such as Earl Grey Ribeye Steak ($18.95) and Grilled Dory with Oolong Sauce ($13.95) which I would like to try on my next visit.
There are cosy seatings on the second floor which was closed then. Not only a place for the stomach, but a perfect space for one to just order a drink, laze around and watch the world go by for a peaceful afternoon. In you are a student who likes to go places to mug for your exams, not only do they provide a conducive study environment, there is also a student menu that promises not to hurt your pocket.
