Had their nigiri sushi with udon that comes in a set. The udon was served piping hot. Soup base was light-tasting and filled with seaweed. Udon was chewy and had just the right texture. The nigiri sushi was the highlight of this set. Sashimi was very fresh and sushi were made on the spot so there was a bit of waiting time. Tamago was sweet and soft. The portion of rice and sashimi was proportionate. What was really unforgettable was their swordfish sushi. The swordfish had a buttery flavour to it, unlike any that I had ever tasted. It was so amazing, but somehow, the chirashi that i had tried (also had swordfish in it), didn't have any of that buttery goodness. Skip the queue at The Sushi Bar and head over to Wasabi Tei (not the one at the corner) if you have not tried this out yet!

Came all the way here with the aid of google maps and finally found this place tucked away in a small coffeeshop. We tried their mac and cheese with bits of bacon and added truffle oil ($1) in it. Truffle taste wasn't faint and was well mixed into the mac and cheese. Portion seems to be a little small though but it was really good and full of flavours. Their aglio olio with mushrooms and zucchini was done al dente and I adored its garlicky flavour. Ingredients were quite minimal too but for its quality, it's worth the price. Waiting time was a little long (at least 10 minutes), and the mac and cheese came much later than the aglio olio.Lavender creme brulee ($4): the sweet caramelized surface was beautifully torched and cracky, revealing a mousse-like texture of creme brulee underneath which was very smooth and had the melt-in-the-mouth texture. Lavender taste was distinct as well.

It was a 15 minutes wait before we were seated. If you are looking for a quiet and cozy cafe to chill and hangout at, forget about Strangers' Reunion. It was very noisy during the peak hours and I could hardly hear my companion."Magic" $5.50

The caffeine taste was bitter and strong. The milk foam was creamy and smooth. Magic is made up of double shot ristretto and milk. Cafe Mocha $5.50

A well balanced combination of cocoa, caffeine, and milk. Loving the lovely swan art too.Flat White. Lovely art as usual.Florentine $18

We found this overpriced and the portion did not justify for the price. The egg yolk was not at all runny as it was overcooked and the hollandaise sauce was not sufficient so it was quite dry as the yolk did not provide the needed moisture. The bread was also soggy but we love the overall taste of this dish. Everything went well together.Waffles with greek yogurt and mixed fruits $11.50The slightly sweet and acidic taste of the yogurt went so well with the light and fluffy waffles. The moment I tried it I fell in love with it. Definitely one of the better waffles I had tried!Mixed Fruits Waffles

They could have been more generous with the strawberries. The maple syrup was really sweet but it complemented the waffles well. So far, my favourite rendition has got to be the waffles with greek yogurt.

Prices aren't cheap but it is still worth a try if you love waffles. Be prepared to queue even at off-peak hours because they are almost always full.

Waiting time was 20-30 minutes for souffle as they make it fresh on the spot. Don't order this if you're very hungry! My friend had the aglio olio spaghetti while I had their Soufflé Au Curry ($16.80). Souffle was so fluffy and moist, with an eggy flavour while the rice beneath the souffle was fat and fluffy. The first few mouthfuls were heavenly (if you love jap curry and souffle.. surprisingly a wonderful combination) but halfway through the meal, I was overwhelmed by its rich taste. It would be better to share this I feel. Portion was very filling and I was struggling to finish it too.

After dinner, I was still a tad hungry so we went to Concetto nearby to share this frutti de mare ($14.90), which was the chef's recommendation. It's basically fettucine with pink arrabbiata sauce, served with prawn, squid and shredded crabmeat. It did not wow me though but my partner loved it. Not sure what it meant by pink.. but it tasted like tomato based sauce. Fettucine was done al dente. Sauce had an even consistency and wasn't too thick nor watery. They were not stingy with the crabmeat too. I probably won't be getting this again though as I find it to be average.
