This time, it was for lunch with my sis as we had a movie to catch later. The staff was really friendly and kept recommending the menu to use. In the end, I chose to have the Organic Wholemeal Sandwich ($6) over the Gado Gado. I wouldn't say I liked this a lot as the bread was... strange. It had a soggy-like texture and was too soft to my liking as I prefer dense bread. The patty was quite interesting: a little sweet due to the carrots and yet savoury at the same time. Sis had the Tuesday Special: Pumpkin Brown Rice with Stewed Taukwa, Brinjal & Veggie ($6). I tried the eggplant which was really well-marinated with a very subtle hint of spiciness. To me, the rice looked horrible though as it seemed really moist and sticky. We got a glass of Walnut with Black Sesame Milk ($5) which was freshly blended on the premises. I liked the nutty flavour but it would have been better if the taste of black sesame was stronger. I think the prices are extremely reasonable for a healthy and organic meal. Even though I didn't enjoy the food as much as I did the last time, I would definitely still come back whenever I'm in the area. Labels: Organic, Vegetarian 1:50 PM ----------	WELCOME! In ancient Greek mythology, sirens are creatures which have the body of a bird and the head of a woman. They have such sweet voices that sailors who heard their songs were lured into grounding their boats on the rocks on which the nymphs sang. To me, food are like the sirens in so many ways. Intoxicating, wonderful, beautiful and yet, so very deadly if you let them get the better of you. Food is a big part of my life and it’s meant to be appreciated and savored slowly. I admit that I am extremely particular about what I eat. If it’s not something I want to put in my body, I’d rather not eat. Some people eat to live while others live to eat. I’ve yet to discover which side of the camp I’m in… What about you? I hope that you will enjoy reading about my food adventures as much as I like writing them. And many thanks to my family and friends who always wait patiently for me to take photos before digging in!
