It's probably best that you come here for an early lunch because the lunchhour queues at Joe & Doe are quite hectic. The cafe isn't that sizeable too, so it's not easy getting a table at lunch time. I ordered a Caffe Latte and a Dark Chocolate Cupcake for tea. Just from the foam on the latte, you can tell that the barista is rather skillful. The dark chocolate cupcake was also very moist and rich - definitely a must-try if you're a chocolate fanatic like me! =D

Dim Sum is one of those comfort foods that I really enjoy eating, but sadly my experience at Old Hong Kong Legend wasn't a very good one. The only interesting dish that was good is this deep-fried prawn ball which had a nice springy texture to it. The meat they used in the Char Siew Pau is not the high quality char siew you would expect to find at a Chinese restaurant, but tasted more like those you get for $1 at a kopitiam. Overall, the food wasn't that great and I don't think I would return again after this visit.

The queues at Jamie's Italian are not as long as the ones you find at Tim Ho Wan, but the food here isn't that awesome either. First up, I ordered a Brixham Bay Crab Risotto ($19) - a creamy dish with a generous amount of crab meat. Sadly, it had a rather strong 'fishy' taste to it probably because the crab meat wasn't that fresh? The Polenta Chips ($7.50) were quite good though, deep-fried to a crisp and seasoned with rosemary and parmesan cheese. To end off the meal, I also ordered the Panna Cotta ($9) which came with a berry mixture of raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. Overall, the food does not live up to its hype and the service staff did not seem very friendly nor were they helpful.

The Rosti ($15.90) here is very different from the ones you get at Marche - and it feels like a much healthier version of the crispy, buttery ones you get at Marche. Here, you will find thinly sliced potatoes (with the skin still intact) pan fried lightly and stacked on top of one another to form a "potato pancake".

Well, the scrambled eggs didn't taste that "healthy" though - it was soaked in butter, which made it taste superb but I can just imagine all those extra calories I'm putting on. >.<"The Dark Chocolate Milkshake ($7.80) was thick and creamy but I could not really taste the 'dark chocolate' bit of it. It's more milky rather than rich, but is an awesome 'comfort drink' that would lighten up your mood any time of the day!

Being the coffee-addict that I am, I just had to order the Affogato ($9) at Marmalade Pantry. The beverage consists of a good shot of espresso coffee and vanilla ice cream on the side. The reason why these 2 are not mixed together when served is mainly due to the fact that the coffee would taste sour when cooled. So you're essentially supposed to drink it up the moment you pour it into the ice cream.This Pan-Roasted Red Snapper ($28) is made with a parsley herb crust and sits on top a bed of homemade ratatouille. I thought the fish was cooked really well, not at all overdone and the meat was very fresh too. Paired with the heart ratatouille, the red snapper makes for a very satisfying main dish! =D
