Crab and Avocado Salad ($22+)Crab meat, sliced avocado mixed with seasonal green salad, topped with herring roe and signature TCA dressing.
The salad is nicely plated, but take care when eating the crab meat as there is small pieces of shell in the meat, which some got stuck between my teeth. I could not taste the dressing in the dish. The crab meat tastes quite fishy to me. But lucky there is buttery avocado to balance the taste.
Okinawa ($7.50+)one of the 3 special espresso based coffees available.
Cafe latte with Okinawa dark brown sugar.
Milky creamy drink with a hint of brown sugar at the top. It is not that exciting as expected.
Service is not bad. Prices included 10% service charge. Not crowded during weekday. Total bill was $32.45.
