Today, I have time to take a good look around this Cafe. Hmm...this place is filled with an extensive handicraft works from the students here...In fact, the whole Cafe is tastefully dotted with their handicraft artworks throughout.

Today's mission is to escape from the humid apartment, to have my lunch settled & also to submit a few reviews for OpenRice while enjoying the free air-conditioning.
Today, I have time to take a good look around this Cafe.
Hmm...this place is filled with an extensive handicraft works from the students here...In fact, the whole Cafe is tastefully dotted with their handicraft artworks throughout. You can see interesting & unique pottery, paintings, detailed batik artworks, handmade tote bags, paper flowers, tea-sets, bookmarks, etc...
Sales of these artworks will boost the students' self-esteem & increase their market value in a demanding world outside.
This bright & glass-partitioned room can facilitate Parties, Celebrations, Family Gatherings of all sorts & even small-scale Class or Company Events.
Watching the student & the Chef hard at work had made me even more hungry & eager to end the walk-about! After a litlle struggle, I finally decided on having the Curry Chicken with Rice...ok...I was actually struggling very hard between the vegetarian dishes & the Halal (non-vegetarian) dishes. I collected the bowl of Gingko Barley Dessert Soup (Dessert of the day) & went to sit at my usual table. Yes, it's my usual table now...eventhough my first visit was only yesterday...
This was served to me shortly as I settled down. The steaming hot rice & delicious looking chicken had me salivate as I was taking pictures of different angles...The fluffy white rice was steaming hot & the grains were soft & chewy...you know, the type that one would even eat it on its own?...
Mmm...satisfying.
The chicken was cooked just right...although not the tender & juicy type, but firm & moist enough and you can even taste that it was lightly marinated!
The curry was the best, the fragrant hint of lemongrass in the thick curry gravy...you can also taste that the spices were subtly stir-fried, yet it is not oily. Mmm...& the fragrance of the coconut milk...I had to ask for more...to drench the rice with...heeheehee...
The barley in the mildly sweet soup was soft & chewy. I counted 7 gingko nuts in my bowl & they were boiled till tender; the soft soyabean skin was lightly crushed before cooking & so no chewing needed...This dessert will be my latest crush!
Verdict:
Though alone, I enjoyed my lunch very much.
I even had hot tea-o (hot water provided for refill) & a can drink ($1.10 with no charge for ice) for the 4 hours that I was there.
It was time well-spent, having completed typing 2 reviews & finished my sewing project.
