Haven't been visiting for quite awhile, suddenly craving for some plant based fusion dishes and thought of this place.

Menu didn't change much with few additional options. They also offer set meals. This time, we decided to try on their set of 2 with soup of the day, tuna spicy mayo toasts and red curry veggies and tempeh in noodle.

Day of soup was pumpkin, which was my favourite. Appreciated the warm reminders from staff to be aware of hot bowl while serve. Soup was in appropriate portion. Topped with crunchy croutons and sprinkled with herbs. Soup was light and smooth. Quite burning hot. Strong pumpkin flavour and sweet. Even just lightly sprinkled herbs, could taste an earthy scent. Very hearty.

Tuna spicy mayo toasts were quite delicate. Should have asked for two small plates while eating. Kind of messy to eat as toppings falling during bite. Tuna was pretty fishy. Texture and taste pretty similar to real tuna. Glad they dressed with spicy mayo which kind of covering the strong fishy taste. A pretty decent dish.

Here it came to my favourite dish here, the vegetables red curry with noodle. Vegetables portion was way bigger than I could remember. It was loaded with Thai aubergines, big chunks of carrots, baby corn, Brussel Sprouts, tempeh, tofu cubes and broccolini. Red curry broth was perfectly cooked with intense spice and mild heat. Unlike the creamy and rich type of curry, this curry was perfect for serving in broth noodle. Aubergines were very soft, carrots were slight raw to me which too crunchy and carrot-y, love they stir in the brussel sprouts after grilling, baby corn and broccolini were soft. All vegetables absorbed so well with the curry. Tempeh was in cubes and wish to serve more. Never enough of tempeh! Well coat with the flavour while easily to bite without its own bitterness (which some may taste bitter if didn't cook long enough). Noodle was chewy and in just a right portion considering serving that amount of vegetables. It was absolutely filling.

A very filling, back in the old days lunch. Still absolutely amazing and this meal set was quite economical.
