Heard about this place from my wife, so I decided to have a mini lunch date with her this afternoon. The place was pretty packed and although I liked the small space aesthetic the establishment had going for it, the large crowd was slightly off-putting for me personally. 

The food + drink combo they had during lunch time was well worth it, as I got to enjoy a good bowl of butter chicken while she indulged herself on a side of duck. One small complaint; the fizzy orange beverage that I ordered arrived way later than I expected. Maybe it was a hot item and therefore in demand or maybe they simply forgot, it’s one small detail I should mention. 

Overall, the establishment managed to impress our taste buds and I look forward to sample their other items, including the sandwiches/toasts in the near future. If you’re a fan of somewhat healthy meals, I’d give this a go. 

Your Bowl or Mine? 

Stumbled on this tiny cafe while at Luyang. From afar, it looks like your everyday coffee shop, but I was pleasantly surprised upon entering. The interior feels cozy, filled with portraits and collections of memorabilia. The food was good; though lacking in variety, the salad was fresh,  quesadillas were stuffed with well-seasoned chicken, and the wedges along with their special dip wrapped up our lunch perfectly. Coffee could be a little more affordable but I’ve got no complaints regarding its taste. 

If you’re ever around the area and want a quiet, cozy place to relax and unwind, I’d recommend it for sure. 

Big things come in small packages.  

I came here for with my mother for brunch on a Sunday. The atmosphere was great and the environment was quite different from the ones I’ve been prior. 

After ordering online and paying, we were told that the food would arrive late (~40 minutes) as the kitchen was busy. 

I ordered a chicken burger set, to which they failed to inform me of the lack of fries in the establishment. They then attempted to replace my side, with a measly attempt at a soup of sorts (which turned out to be bolognese) and a handful of croutons. 

The Nook breakfast was decent and hefty. Enough said. 

The drinks were unreasonably expensive, and we opted to share only one black coffee. 

The staff were quite accommodating. I’ll give them that. 

Overall, it’s definitely an aesthetic cafe, but it’s pros end there.
