SCOTCH EGG

"The Scotch Egg ($6.90) is a pretty sight that makes my stomach growl. The golden brown breaded layer has minced pork and is crispy and crumbly. It goes well with the velvety soft egg, which resembles a ramen egg."

LATTE ART

"This 3-D latte art design of a bear floating on my cup of iced hazelnut latte ($6.50) was selected by the barista. They can do cartoon characters too. This drink makes a great photograph, but I had to snap photos within five minutes before the froth lost its shape."

LAKSA PASTA

"I am an aglio olio pasta lover, so this East-meets-West Laksa Pasta ($19) is a refreshing change. It has crispy soft shell crab on top of spaghetti, which is well- drenched in laksa gravy that has just the right amount of spiciness."

MATCHA HONEY TOAST

"This Matcha with Azuki Beans Honey Toast ($19.90) looks astonishingly big, like a pretty Christmas tree. The ice cream on the stacks of crusty toast was dressed up in swirls of matcha sauce. Thankfully, the waitress helped to slice the dessert because I would not have known how to start eating it."

LAVA CAKE

"This salted egg custard chocolate lava cake ($12) is an unexpected combination. I never knew that bitter dark chocolate would go so well with savoury salted egg. It turned out to be such a delightful pairing of flavours."
