Located in block F of the Nanyang Polytechnic school, there is a small restaurant on the third floor. It is a training restaurant for students who are doing Diploma in Food & Beverage Business. It only operates during the lunch period of the school term from 11.30am to 2.30pm. So makes sure you call up before going down as it does not open everyday. I have learnt my lesson well. The first time I visited the place, it was full. The second time it was busy with a School of Business event. The thir
Located in block F of the Nanyang Polytechnic school, there is a small restaurant on the third floor. It is a training restaurant for students who are doing Diploma in Food & Beverage Business. It only operates during the lunch period of the school term from 11.30am to 2.30pm. So makes sure you call up before going down as it does not open everyday. I have learnt my lesson well. The first time I visited the place, it was full. The second time it was busy with a School of Business event. The third time it wasn't open due to festive season.
The fourth time I call up and is told that the restaurant is full for reservations but they still accept walk-in on a first come first in basic. So I decide to try my luck. But imagine when I walk in, I am surprised to find that only a third of the tables are occupied and the crowd is almost the same throughout the whole meal. The dining in area looks quite stylish and wide.
It offers 3-course set lunch, priced at $12 for public and $10 for staff and students. The set lunch includes a choice of starter, a choice of main course, a dessert of the day and a choice of coffee or tea. The menu is changed regularly.

Served with buttered thyme crouton
As it has been a cold day, I have selected this choice as it is served hot. It tastes thick and creamy with lots of crunchy sweet corns in it.

Served with roasted asparagus, lemon scented crumbled tofu, wasabi butter sauce
The salmon is well cooked, although I could not taste any miso on it, and goes quite well with the strong wasabi butter sauce. The tofu is crispy on the outside and soft and silky inside. The only disappointment in this dish turns out to be the asparagus. It is overly salty, especially the tip parts. As I only has a fork and the blunt fish knife, it is also difficult to cut it into smaller pieces.

Due to the festive season, the kitchen has specially served this dessert. It is consists of 3 different layers : raspberry compote on the bottom, followed by chocolate pea mousse, with a top layer of peppermint jelly. It is topped with a scoop of cranberry sorbet.
It is a interesting dessert which tastes sour, sweet, crunchy and smooth in a mouthful. It is my first time having green pea in dessert. One can really taste the pea in it.

Mango Milk, Yogurt, Cardamom & Pistachios
The restaurant also offers mocktails at $3 nett and the staff recommends me to try the Mango Pistachio Lassi. Due to the jam at the drink counter, the drink is finally served to me while I am having my main course. It tastes quite thick and creamy, with bits of mango and crunchy pistachios in it. A very yummy drink.
Overall the food is not bad. Best of all it is a super valued meal. One can never get such a price for a 4-course meal outside. The staffs are quite friendly and often come around to ask for feedback. Service is abit slow, especially when serving the drinks. It seems like there is only one staff making the drinks, and cannot handle it. Overall it is still a nice place to come over for lunch.
