Sooo, hello everyone this is Steph. I've been writing up short food reviews on my instagram account but I am new to the Openrice family!

To start off the meal, we ordered some drinks. And their signature "Lex Drink" is surely one of the must-order ones. You could choose coffee or chocolate for this and I took the latter one. Basically it's an iced chocolate cube made from Venchi Chocolate with a small glass of steamed milk on the side so you could adjust the concentration by yourself. There is also an accompanying teaspoon of fresh orange peel to enhance the flavours.

For the mains, we had the Prawn Capellini with Lobster Sauce & Roasted Pork Rack with Celery Puree. The pasta in my opinion is a little bland though the prawns are fresh and tangy. It would be the choice for those of you who wish to go for something light

The pork rack was a surprise to us though. It is slow-cooked so it's not as oily as those pan-fried ones. The meat is tender and well marinated with some refreshing celery puree and veggies on the side to balance the meaty dish.

And finally the long-awaited desserts! We were gonna order the panna cotta and waffle here but they were all sold out

Anyhow the Crème Brulee was soo nice with a thin crispy caramel layer on top and that smooth interior. I could totally finish it all by myself...

On the whole, it has been a nice dining experience with the friendly staff. Their barista also explained to us some of the differences in their hand drip coffee while preparing drinks in front of us. And the interior design is just so artsy and comfy that you may wanna stay here for the whole lazy afternoon.
