SO YUM

BEST FOR A bite and break from shopping. FOOD The Asian-inspired menu features dishes such as soft and savoury Japanese rice porridge with shredded chicken, a teriyaki salmon omelette or traditional dim sum. If you're here early in the day, the breakfast menu consists of classics lent by Hemelhuijs in Cape Town. A perfectly soft-poached egg sits atop a herby, tomato and onion smoor with grilled farm sausage. The home-made potato rösti, served either with herbed crème fraîche and soft-poached eggs or avocado and exotic mushrooms, is a favourite. Mieliepap with honey and butter takes you back to your childhood. DRINKS Hand-selected teas, including blue flower earl grey and fresh ginger and lemon with lime leaves. The Vietnamese-inspired coffee with vanilla and condensed milk deserves a mention, as do the fresh juices in combos like cucumber, melon and pear. SERVICE Friendly. AMBIENCE Find a table in the passageway amid the hustle-bustle or inside, which is quiet and calm. (KK)
