Great eats

When I feel like cooking up a storm at home, which I rarely do, I would head to Great supermarket at Pacific Place to buy some fresh ingredients for my pasta dish. I usually pass by the food hall but seldom pause to check out the menu.

One evening, after a night of walking, my friend Faridah decided we should grab some food there. So here we are, it’s got such a ‘fancy’ name for each dish, I couldn’t stop myself from taking notes.

Veggie potage

We started off with an appetiser called the vegetable potage mint goat cheese crostini. I like that mushy potato when it melts in my mouth, which is topped off with soft yet rich cheese.

Next up, we ordered the poached egg topped Fontina and Spinach tart.

This is a novelty to me and I’m a big fan of filo pastry. Apparently, the egg is organic from New Zealand and the flaky filo pastry is filled with sauteed creamed spinach and fontina. I love poached eggs especially when the yolk oozes out covering the crispy pastry, yum!

The main dish of the night was the vegetarian white pizza. It’s topped with ricotta cheese, broccoli, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, grilled egg plant and tomato.

I personally prefer if the pizza crust is thin, this was relatively thick, so it filled me up pretty quickly and I had to pack the remainder home.

Overall, I like the environment despite it being located just beside the supermarket. It was 9ish, guess there weren’t many shoppers, so we could enjoy our dinner in peace and catch up with gossip. So much for the exercise earlier, rewarded myself pretty quickly indeed.

Power lunch @ Cafe O

I was told that the Cafe O on Queens Rd Central is a good place to conduct your meetings since it has 2 levels and obviously quieter upstairs.
Cafe O has a wide range of European food from your usual sandwiches, salads to metre long pizzas.
What I like about this place is it has a good range of vegetarian options particularly for pizzas or even the set meal offers.
I’ve yet to try its lasagne but I enjoyed the calzone and as you can see in the picture below, the cafe was offering a wheat base pizza special.

I opted for the pumpkin and spinach toppings and it was filling without making me feel too sleepy to work later.

The thin, crispy crust helps and knowing that it’s made of wheat flour makes me feel less guilty indulging in such a big portion.

Do give Cafe O a try if you want a healthy lunch fix.
