| - I'll be honest. My initial plan was to eat at L'Avenue, but there was a 30m line up and I was already starving so I just ended up randomly in this restaurant. The interior is super nice (instagramable ;D) with wooden deco. The wood ceiling is not flat but had irregular triangles shapes that make it really interesting to the eyes. The lunch menu is quite limited: only few options in either poke bowl, ramen, and rice.
We had karaange, poke bowl, and pork ramen
- karaange: quite average. Crispy on the outside, but dry in the inside. The sauce was really sour, had a lot of lemon juice in it. Can't beat Nozy's karaange, which is probably the best I've had so far.
- The all seasoned poke bowl: the presentation is really nice, looked super appetizing. I took the bowl with salad instead of rice. There was enough sashimi in it, the portion looked small but it was actually really filling. I just felt like there wasn't enough flavor to it... something seemed lacking. I still prefer Poke Bar's poke bowls.
- Pork ramen with BBQ pork: tonkatsu ramen with a really really really heavy and creamy broth. A bit too heavy to my taste. I had two sip of the broth and I was already feeling sick of it... No wonder my mom couldn't finish it. I feel like they need to serve it with pickled radish of veges on the side coz otherwise it just felt like drinking fat.
In general, the meal was just ok. Had high expectations because of how good the restaurant looked like from the inside, but I was quite disappointed by the taste. Everything was just meh, I could easily think of other restaurants that offer of the same things but tasted better. I might come back in the evening just to try their dinner menu, but I won't be back for lunch.
