I've heard from my friends that this restaurant is quite good. Finally I had a chance to patronize it today. I decided to try the set lunch at $14.90 nett. There's a choice of soup (a soup of the day with garlic bread, tom yam soup or green curry chicken), a main dish (about 5 choices, couldn't remember all of them), a dessert (scoop of ice cream with 3 flavors to choose from) and a drink (with 3 choices available). For a while, I pondered over their listing of green curry chicken under the "sou
- Green curry chickenWow, I was amazed by the amount of chicken they gave. If I had a bowl of rice with this, it's already a complete meal! And this is only my "soup" for the set meal. The green curry was spicy & thick, rather tasty, a pretty authentic Thai taste to it I'll say. The chicken pieces could be a little bit more tender but it's still alright. The curry's good though.
For my main, I chose the Fettuccine with black pepper beef. Once again, another daring choice I thought - but I wanted to see how they will pull off this fusion dish. Boy, I was surprised that it's actually quite a good dish. There was lots of tasty black pepper sauce used to fry the fettuccine. You really get a fusion feel for this dish. I liked the tender beef & the finely sliced green capsicum. The serving was large too. Texture of the fettuccine felt just right too. Once again, thumbs up!
- Fettuccine with black pepper beefI was very full but of course there's always room for dessert ya. A small scoop of mocha chip ice cream is given. I was very glad that it did not taste like cheap ice cream. In fact, the coffee taste was fragrant and the ice cream not too sweet. Another surprisingly good item.

Black Canyon Coffee has definitely surpassed my expectations. I came out of the restaurant feeling really satisfied. Perhaps that's why the place was filled up fast during lunchtime, I'm sure other diners liked this place as well.
