More crab than I could eat, and yum yum. Felt it could have come with a dipping sauce - but i had asked for one, instead of concentrating on eating, the service is such that there would probably have been provided on request. The stirfries are plentiful, flavourful, crisp. So many combinations to choose from! I've heard very good things about the pork belly, tho the day I asked for it, the waiter advised against since they had sold out the night before and a fresh batch had just gone in for marinating. Oh, the salt and pepper quail - delicious.<br />The patisserie - yeah! So many people in hi-vis jackets popping in, and different cultures, and some of the Seddon-like population - a wonderful mix. Tho they burnt my coffee the one time I drank it there.<br />Thankyou for the review of the Bonsai nursery tea house - that's on my To-Do list too, once it gets a bit warmer.

One fellow drove back home twice, sans burger. I was reading Daniel's blog (http://temasek68.blogspot.com.au/2014/05/eat8bit-finally-burger-joint-in.html) and he mentions that they kept coming over and apologising for the wait, and bringing free things. Hopefully it does calm down a bit but as someone else said on the twits - for now it's "eat early, eat often" !Lauren aka Ms Bakloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08540872180823771651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-69523979314211421252014-05-19T17:08:45.952+10:002014-05-19T17:08:45.952+10:00I KNOW!!!!!!
