CHERRY TART
"I used to avoid food with cherries because of their medicinal taste. However, I decided to try this tart as it was the prettiest in the display counter. The Spanish cherries are sweet and crunchy. Coupled with the light vanilla cream and buttery crust, it makes a light and refreshing dessert."

CREAMSICLE
"The Mango Sticky Rice Ice Creamsicle (with Baklava creamsicle) is like a decadent Singapore-style Magnum ice cream that is a novel twist on the traditional Thai dessert. I like coconut-based desserts and the coconut ice cream goes well with the white chocolate shell that has toasted coconut flakes and rice crispies for an added crunch. It is worth a splurge in the sweltering weather."

WAFFLE BURGER
"Waffles are usually used in desserts, so it is unusual to see waffle-like buttermilk biscuits used in a burger. I like the honey-infused butter that is spread on the deep-fried chicken patty, which adds a special touch to the meat, and I use the remaining melted butter as a dip for the side of French fries."

ROAST FISH
"This roast fish is succulent and flaky, and is refreshing with the lemon, garlic and scallion topping. This dish showcases the chef's expertise in cooking with simple ingredients, allowing the flavour of the fish to shine."

KOREAN PANCAKE
"The Haemul Pajeon (Korean Seafood Pancake) is crispy yet chewy and moist inside. It is quite affordable, given the generous amount of shrimp, squid, oyster and spring onion in it. Paired with kimchi and anchovies, this pancake is a richer version of the oyster omelette."
