As of writing, I still don't understand why the restaurant named itself FULL/half. But if I really were to relate it to my dining experience here, perhaps the "glass of water" concept will be the perfect explanation. I must admit that this place is extraordinarily unique from most other coffee shops/restaurants I've been to. From the furnitures to the cutlery, they were all but fashionable and smart. You could trace most of the items in this restaurant from the home products store named "HOMELES

I must admit that this place is extraordinarily unique from most other coffee shops/restaurants I've been to. From the furnitures to the cutlery, they were all but fashionable and smart. You could trace most of the items in this restaurant from the home products store named "HOMELESS" just next to FULL/half. They were all imported from the West as one may tell with a heavy touch of western design in every item. My mum and I came here for our groupon lunch. Thanks to the intriguing atmosphere, we were able to divert our attention away from the interior design and to have forgotten about the approximately 30 minutes waiting of our meal.
After 30 minutes or so, our starter and tea finally arrived. Despite the portion size, the salad was well served with the fresh breadcrumbs and softened parma ham. I was really glad that the portion was small because I later found the tea set was actually quite filling. The chrysanthemum honey tea was also found to be interesting as the chrysanthemum was locked in a receiver and as we stirred the tea, the taste of it would gradually released.
The bizzare yet special design of the tea set's stand was again, a product of HOMELESS. In terms of food, it was rather surprising to find that as we moved on from the bottom to the top, it was the other way round for quality. We found the bottom most impressive -- special mention must be the cold noodles topped with roe and the warmly served mini burger. Their tiny portions were excellent for ladies to get a fine taste of everything but not filling up the tummies. The middle layer was rather disappointing due to the portions served were too salty for one to continue. The top layer of dessert was too sweet but the blueberry with strawberry tart was a nice wrap up of the meal nevertheless.I could actually criticize my dining experience in FULL/half due to long waiting time for our food in a quiet afternoon, alongside with the mostly average type of savoury and desserts served, specially when we came because of their groupon promotion. However, the name FULL/half inspired me that perhaps it all comes down whether you looked at your dining experience from a "glass of water" concept -- whether you see all the waiting and quality of food being a dissatisfaction (half cup of water) or whether you see your enjoyment in blending in with the atmosphere as well as being inspired by the fashionable items here as a grant of joy (full cup of water).
