Rating: 4<br/ <br/ We decided to stop by and fuel ourselves after an early run of errands on this nice sunny morning. Staff were super friendly and let us sit anywhere with their lovely arranged ample seating area. <br/ <br/ I ordered the brekkie bun and my man ordered the fried chicken baos. Everything was freshly made, so food was piping hot, but oh so crispy. The chips and onion rings were seasoned well, and they somehow still remained crispy after we finished our mains, which is a big tick for me. The crispy edges of the wedges and the onion rings was to eye-rolling that I will be running back for these every time I have a chance to stop by this amazing cafe. <br/ <br/ My burger was full of flavour and texture, and didn’t feel greasy at all that is very common in many burgers. I didn’t have that guilty feeling after devouring such a burger, and would happily eat that again over other meaty burgers. The egg was still runny, so the yolk could flow through the elements in the burger, making every bite that extra delightful. I loved the salty halloumi, balanced by the tomato relish and fresh spinach with the buttery crunch from the buttermilk bun, but sadly the bacon didn’t hit the mark for me (although I’m not really a bacon lover so my opinion could be biased). <br/ <br/ Loved the fun take on the baos, and yet somehow the fried chicken and combination of flavours used still seemed traditional. The baos were also freshly made, with the white buns still fluffy, but the chicken was a bit dry. On a good note, the chicken was seasoned well with their asian spices, and the slaw cut through the heaviness from the chicken. <br/ <br/ The price is quite reasonable for what you get (maybe slightly on the expensive side), considering it is a brunch spot run by workers who care for the quality of their foods and offer a family-friendly environment with a calm gorgeous view. They add a variety of elements to offer what they think makes a good “avo toast” and present a dish full of care, which I love. <br/ <br/ This cafe is the first thing you see when you turn into the shopping centre, and would catch your eye like it did for me. Will come back again to try their other exciting dishes. <br/ <br/ Food: 4<br/ Ambience: 4<br/ Service: 5<br/ Value: 4
