Tried to come here for brunch during the weekdays because of the review but they didn't have it.
Anyway, the brunch here is strikingly similar to the brunch at Catalyna a few years ago.
There was a great selection.

The padron peppers were really delicious and juicy.

The ceviche was refreshing and they had so many dressings to choose from.

Definitely coming back.
It would be good if they had muffins that are available at International branches of Mercedes Me.

Saw this new lychee yoghurt chillano drink so I had to try it because I love lychee and I love yoghurt.
The yoghurt was not strong enough because the lychee was too overpowering and sweet.

In the Chinese tradition, the brides family will always give out cakes to friends and family when they give out invitations to their wedding.
These days cake vouchers are more commonly given out for convenience.

At Kee Wah Bakery, you can choose to get the wedding cake gift boxes or vouchers.

There are different sets of wedding cake gift boxes.
The one I got had panda cookies, palmiers, butter cookies, coconut egg cookies and coffee walnut cookies.

My favourite was the coconut and egg cookies which were crumbly with a fragrant coconut taste.

Since my last visit, I have been meaning to come back for the lunch buffet but I never made it because there are too many irresistible restaurants popping up.
During dinner they have live music and singing.
Appetizers:




For dinner, I had some kebabs.

Both the chicken and lamb were tasty and it was good that you can order tapas portions so you can try more stuff.

Mackerel Tikka masala:
The mackerel curry was quite good because not many Indian restaurants serve mackerel and the texture of the mackerel was firm yet silky.

Rice:
The rice is a must for curries and it was fluffy basmati rice.

Paneer tikka:
The cheese tasted as good as the previous visit.

Naan:
The naan was soft with a slight crispy surface to it and great with the curry we ordered.

I have always wanted to try this place because of the souffle pancakes.
Went on a Monday because there is a 11% discount which is actually a 1% discount as there is a 10% service charge on top.
Basically it tasted like an eggy souffle but to my disgust there was hair in it.
I asked the waiter what it was and he confirmed that it was a strand of hair but he was nice enough to give me another one.
