Thought I could use some quiet moments before the day's hustle and bustle at this beautiful Belgian-inspired bistro nestled within House of AnLi furniture shop in Tanglin Mall. But alas, the outlet itself was buzzing, and somewhat crowded.

Snagged a table by the window and was treated with a view of greenery overlooking Nassim Hill. The panoramic view was a tough competitor for attention, but the food held its own.

The smoked eel brunch plate with avocado, grilled asparagus and caviar served on sourdough toast, I had, was simple and light. Wished I had a second slice of toast to mop up the rich, yolky remainder.
