For "G", we have something new to excite this blog a lil bit, and of coz, for the benefit of non-meat eaters - vegetarian food! Located amidst lush greenery, this place would be a nice option for an afternoon tea for couples or small families wanting some family-bonding time.

Roasted cauliflower & truffle risotto
To be honest, among all the risottos i have tried, this is the worst! I do not taste any of the earthy truffles at all, and the parmesan cheese they used gives a very stinky smell that makes it very unpalatable for me (food is all about look, smell, taste right?). The only redeeming thing about this dish is the roasted caulliflower, which i feel is not too bad. Overall, a bad dish, with small portions and not very small price.
Portobello mushroom burger
Well, definitely better than the risotto, but the portobello mushroom used is too thin (bearing in mind that as you cook mushrooms, they will shrink even further), thus failing to provide a "compact" texture that is supposed to be a substitute for meat. The burger bun is also not freshly baked, probably better off having store-bought. Tomato salsa is very compatible with the accompanying taco chips. Overall, nothing too interesting about it.
Sticky Date Pudding
To make up for the not-appetising mains we had, we decided to try their desserts, and this Sticky Date Pudding with Vanilla Ice-cream is one of their signatures. Well, the pudding is dense and pretty moist (reminds me of a Western huat kueh) and a little sticky, as it should be, but i have definitely had much better ones elsewhere (like Marmalade Pantry and another place which i cant remember the name offhand).
After a cuppa Flat white to round up the meal, we decided that this would definitely not be on our list of Vegetarian restaurants to return.
NB: For non-vegetarian diners, they also have another "normal" menu under the name of Canopy Dining, which shares the same premises. So both vegetarian and non-vegetarian friends can come together and eat as a group.
