Went there for a gathering because they offer long tables that can cater for big groups.
That night, there were two dinner sets: Almond blossom or Sunflowers.
The Sunflower was the heavier menu but it was difficult choosing because both menus were very different and there would be something you would want on both menus!!
In the end I went for the Sunflower.

Here was the sunflowers set that I had:
French Oyster, Gazpacho Pearls
 0 讚好

A strong fresh oyster complemented by the refreshing and pretty Gazpacho pearls.

Hokkaido Scallop, Sweet Corn Puree:


The scallop was tender and the sweet corn was very sweet, a nice sweet twist following the oyster.

Dutch Peas & Smoked Ham Soup:
I loved this because it was loaded with ingredients, a hearty soup just like Western soups.


Burrata Cheese & Heirloom Cherry Tomato,Beetroot ,Basil Foam:
This was colourful and appetizing with a silky lightness from the basil foam.


Braised 24hours Wagyu Beef Cheek Fettuccine, 14months DOP Asiago Crispy

The pasta was filling and they make their own pastas.

Carabinero Prawns & Mussels, Sea Asparagus


The prawns and sea asparagus were strong and I loved the saltiness of the sea asparagus.

USDA Prime Beef Tenderloin , Artichoke & Red Shallot USDA:
Finished the dinner with this tender and juicy tenderloin on a bed of delicious mash.

∞∞
Orange Sticky Cake , Blue Butterfly Pea Sauce:
Dessert was sweet and divine with my favourite orange cake.
Nothing more and nothing less.

∞∞∞∞
Finished with tea which was a perfect and special end to dinner because they had Sunflower tea which is really unique and matches the whole dinner and restaurant flawlessly.

The TST branch is much bigger and spacious compared to the branch in Central.


As well as tea, this branch is the first to serve Bubble waffles with ice-cream.
You get to choose an icecream from six flavours and a topping.
I chose the matcha with oreo crumbs and salted cream topping.
It was such a sweet treat because the bubble waffles were crisp and soft in the middle.
Dipping it the cream topping made it better.

Finished off with a matching matcha tea with pearls.
The pearls here are unique because they are chewy with a caramel taste to them.

Winter is coming and they offer hot drinks too like Jasmine Pear and Ginger, lemon and lime paired with your choice of tea.

Was in the area so went here for dinner.TSW has changed so much and not as shanty as before, there are now more posh eateries and the malls are done up.
The drinks were on a buy one get one promotion which was good.

Also got the fish which was on promotion.
It was delicate and very refreshing because there was a lot of lime in it and the chili gave it a lovely fiery kick.

It was very filling with rice so didn't really need to order anything else.

Ordered the dessert platter and there is a choice of half or full so got the half to sample the desserts.
My favourite one was the one coated in yellow beans because it was starchy and tasted savory and sweet.

This was my last avocado chicken burger before it was taken off the menu.
Requested for extra sauce again.
It was my last but the best because the bun was soft and warm, the chicken patty was fried just right as well and there was so much avocado sauce that every mouthful was delicious.
Again different branches have different standards because some burgers have been sitting there for quite a while.

As this place is relatively new, not many people know about it and the food takes some time so you can relax and have a good chat here.
They serve food as well as coffee so had the eggs benedict with avocado and the spicy chicken.
The eggs and avocado were flawless because the pairing of the two won't fail.
The chicken was surprisingly good because the chicken skin was crispy and tasty.
It had been roasted so perfectly that the skin was as thin as paper.
Finished with the carrot cake which was moist topped with a lovely buttercream on top.

This was my silky tofu with twist because I added green tea chocolate to it from the fountain garnished with strawberries.
It was quite nice but a bit too sweet.

DIY Lemon cola with fresh lemon slices from the drinks area.
The lemon takes away the sweetness so the taste is more refreshing.

My favourites were the maltose crackers because they were chewy and crispy.
They were not too sweet so I ate quite a few of them.

In the soup area, there was mock shark fin soup as well which was crammed with ingredients.

There are two different mooncakes in this box.
I forgot to take a picture because the when I sliced it, the yolk was oozing with golden oil that everyone was excited and finished the mooncake before I even got a chance to take pictures.
The other one was mixed nuts which was a nice change from lotus paste.
It was sweet and nutty with a good mouthfeel to it.
