The Lawn Grill and Salad Cafe

A new cafe for the "green-lovers".  The concept of this cafe is pretty interesting.  Here's how it goes:
1. Choose your preferred serving size
2. Choose your preferred grill (I chose Pacific Dory with fresh fruit rub and herbs)
3. Choose your preferred greens, toppings and dressing (I chose baby potatoes, cashew nuts, eggs, and maple peanut dressing).

Tada!  2 pieces of herbed dory fillet.  Perhaps I am not used to the taste of herbs, it tasted a little jerlat after a while.  Other than that, the portion is already quite decent (ie. enough for me) with the potatoes, eggs and cashew nuts)

Topped up $1 for the mushroom (small size).



Kitchen and front counter at The Lawn.  It is a nice cosy cafe, except that seats may be limited during the lunch rush hour.

Rocky Master (Biopolis)

What's for lunch?  Rocky Master is one of those sandwich joints.  The gourmet iced chocolate is something to shout about.  If you have not tried it, I strongly recommend that you give it a try.  It is very different from other iced chocolate from other cafes including starbucks, CBTL. 

Since it was lunch, I decided to try their mushroom soup and curry potty pie.  The mushroom soup was surprising thick and filled with small bits of minced mushroom.  Good value.  However, the potty pie was obviously a frozen pie, heated up in microwave oven.  Forget about ordering the pie.  It was a disappointment =(

Pasta de Waraku (Square 2)

This was my 1st visit at Pasta de Waraku @ Square 2... the restaurant entrance isn't very prominently located in the building though the restaurant itself is just next to a taxi stand. The entrance is located next to The Face Shop and not at the taxi stand side.

I decided to go for a light meal and order the Japanese-Style Clam Chower ($8.80). Thou V and J found the soup to be quite diluted, it was just right for me. However, what was very misleading was the BIG soup bowl, that gave us am impression that the serving portion was generous.

Guess some of us may be familiar with the famous Japanese plum alcohol - Choya Plum Wine. I ordered the Umeshu-soda ($6.80) which was a mix of the alcohol with soda.

And finally, my yummy dessert - Macha Azuki Parfait ($6.80). The bottom-most layer is corn flakes, covered with vanilla ice cream, topped with macha ice cream, strawberry, japanese rice balls, red bean paste and a piece of wafer biscuit.
 

Total damage - approx $25.
