I'm not a coffee drinker, so I never really thought of trying out TCC. However, since it's my friend's birthday month and she's got a 50% discount as a TCC member (woohoo!) to use, so we planned our birthday treat for her here. We ordered some appetizers to share - the Buffed Up Buffalo Wings (not pictured), shrooms bite and the tuna tataki salad.The buffalo wings were tasty and were pretty smoking hot! Being the first dish, we pounced on the wings, hence I forgot to take a photo of them LOL. Sh
We ordered some appetizers to share - the Buffed Up Buffalo Wings (not pictured), shrooms bite and the tuna tataki salad.
The buffalo wings were tasty and were pretty smoking hot! Being the first dish, we pounced on the wings, hence I forgot to take a photo of them LOL.
Shrooms bite was so popular among us that we ordered a second plate after our first try! The stuffed mushroom ragout within the buttery pastry was good. It's kinda rich though, so you can stop at two...
The tuna tataki was just quickly-seared so it was still oh-so-prettily pink in the middle. I didn't try it though since I don't eat raw food. I had a taste of the mesclun salad which was not bad. The dressing was quite tangy.
The Mentaiko Spaghetti w/ Salmon Tataki was really good! The mentaiko sauce was very nice and had just a hint of spiciness in it. The salmon tataki was a bit more cooked than expected (which works out fine for me actually). The sunny side up egg was also just nice with the yolk slightly runny in the middle. Simply delicious!
I had a taste from my friend's order of the Golden Enchilada Enchantment, which is a fried tortilla stuffed with wild mushrooms, spicy spinach and tofu. I think it only tasted ok, nothing too special. The taste of the spinach was a bit overwhelming.
My hubby went all out and ordered the Ribeye steak ($32). Unfortunately, for that hefty price, the steak was not good at all. His steak (an also another friend's) were over-cooked one notch above what they requested. So my hubby wanted medium but got a very well done steak instead. My friend got a medium well-done instead of a medium rare. Both of them felt the taste of the steak was not there. The breaded potato cheddar cakes were ok-tasting, but nothing fantastic. Presentation-wise, the dish looked cool. Overall though, not recommended to order this dish.
The dark devotion dessert was quite nice. The chocolate lava did ooze out from within the dark chocolate cake, which was not too sweet. If there was more lava chocolate, it would have been even nicer. The summer berries compote was quite sour - good only if you like to have a contrasting tangy taste to your chocolate.
Overall, I was pretty impressed with the food offered at TCC. Pretty decent food for a coffee cafe. However, it's quite expensive - bill came up to about $20 per pax after a 50% discount. Post
