This is one of the newest kid on the block in this growing enclave of dining places. It serves a simple Western menu with some interesting dishes. We started with the bruschetta and the mushroom pate crostini that was not bad and proceeded to the mains of a pork loin stuffed with apple and wrapped in proscuitto (top pix) – lovely combination that I want to try to make as well; and a light mushroom pasta. The food was quite tasty but with an overly active air-conditioning system, it got cold way too fast and took some of the flavour out of it. Oh, and the place was rather dimly lit too, hence the dark pictures. It's a very nice dining spot otherwise. The mains cost S$18 /US$11 on average.
