An old favourite

After 5 days of restaurant week indulgence, only Clifford was truly review worthy.

Disappointed with the outcomes so far, I seek solace in an old favourite of mine in a place I can always count on to deliver, TWG Tea Gardens @MBS. It could be said that I'm a little biased, since I've loved the brand from the get go. But my palate isn't easily satisfied and I think that makes it review worthy.

This old favourite does the trick everytime. It consistently delivers no matter which salon I visit. 


Succulent chunks of lobster flesh are paired with a delightfully creamy avocado which rests on a bed of baby spinach leaves. The plating is elegant and the cherry tomato adds a pop of colour. A marinade, scattered with coriander and chives lends a slightly spicy kick well coupled with the sour tang of the tea infused vinaigrette. A mild lingering fruity finish rounds off the taste explosion in my mouth. It's simple and clean tastes harmonised to achieve a perfect balance. 

To balance out the flavours, it was recommended I pair this dish with a pot of Sencha Meicha, a delicate Japanese green tea with a grassy note. The combination was divine. 

Of course to top off the whole experience, I'm basking in the impeccably warm service of the staff here. And this is why, time and time again I return. Even on off days.
