It was around 1p.m. when we arrived, there are several empty tables even though we have already booked the table for sofa seat.
The environment is dim but comfortable because the setting is kinda countryside and the waitresses are wearing lace blouse which has a country girl feeling.
The set lunch comes with a soup,a main course,a dessert and a drink.
There are 4 set lunch to choose from and we ordered Fish with Spinach and Potato and a braised beef brisket with cheese & macaroni as our main course.
For that day, there are only 1 kind of soup which is the beef brooth. Broth is distinct from stock, which is a thin liquid made by simmering raw ingredients until all the taste has been retrieved from them, then sieving the resulting liquid. Its beef broth is tasty, very simple but well falvoured. The soup also comes with bread but rather giving you a basket, the waiter was holding a big basket of several kinds and you can choose what you like. I chose their wholewheat as well as semi-whole wheat bread. My dad chose sesame bun. As a bread lover, I can tell that their bakery is awesome as their bread is chewy and cakey and smells very wheaty too. The deep brown colour of the wholewheat one is just my favourite among all.
Just after our starter, the main course came at the right moment. The portion of the fish is pretty small indeed according to the price. Dad as a fish lover tells that it is quite fresh and the side dish is tasty too. As for my beef brisket, it is very tender and the beef taste is very rich. The cheese and macaroni is nice too but not special.
We are told that we can choose our cake/tart at the bakery or simply have a plate of fruit.
We both went to to the bakery and I got a classic Plum Streusel and dad went for the marble cheese cake. It was the first time for me to try Plum Streusel, the texture was like something between bread and cake. There are several layers within one streusel, and the plum's sweetness is just right and balances out the whole tart. It impresses me afterall.
As I had 2 more hours to go, I stayed and enjoy my cup of Hot Chocolate. Even though we have already paid the check, they did let me sit there and was willing to constantly fill my jar of hot water as the air-con was too powerful.
Anyway, it is a nice place to enjoy your lunch when you have plenty of time to spend.
