The Seafood Aglio Olio (SGD $22) mixes it up with silky al-dente spaghetti pasta noodles tossed in hae bee / dried shrimp, garlic, and chili, giving it a distinct shrimpy savoury salty spice flavour that tingles the palate. Bits of juicy tomato and wispy alfalfa sprouts lend vegetal bitter sweet flavour, while chunks of tender deshelled crab meat within lend sweet savoury flavour.
.
Completed with large crunchy shell-on prawns, which burst with smoky sweet salty savoury flavour when bit. A robust tasting dish with strong flavours that work well together.

Got the Flat White (SGD $5.90) with low-fat milk, and it has a smooth velvety texture, with medium strength. Carries a toasty earthy milky flavour without any bitter notes.
.
The Long Black (SGD $4.90) has a smooth velvety texture, with medium strength. Carries a toasty earthy flavour without any bitter taste.
.
The Iced Earl Grey Tea With Strawberry (SGD $6.90) is served sugar-free, garnished with slices of fresh juicy strawberries, and is nicely refreshing. Carries an earthy fruity floral sweet flavour, yum.
.
Visually, it's obvious telling apart the Latte Single-Shot (SGD $5.90) & Double-Shot (SGD $6.80), with the former being lighter and the latter being darker. Compared to the other coffee I've had here, this seems slightly stronger in depth.

Beautifully presented and alluring, this was a surprisingly intense treat.
