A quiet place

at day's end
she finds solace
in a quiet place

The Eastern Wishes Cafe

Our lunch outings are getting pretty extravagant judging from our latest discovery - The Eastern Wishes Cafe located in i-Avenue. It's facing Bukit Jambul Complex, so parking is not too difficult if we arrive before the lunch crowd. It's the shops facing the other side that's attracting the most crowd.

The decor is the popular contemporary - dark wood furniture, simple fixtures with similar dark wood trims. bigfish noticed an interesting, yet simple, design - using wooden boards to hide exposed wiring. Neat trick! It's something I may want to do for my home where ALL my wiring are exposed.

Ah... the food. They serve set lunches, so I ordered the sweet and sour fish fillet. It comes with soup (ABC soup was the soup of the day) and a drink. I chose orange juice, and I was pleased that they used real oranges. My dish was satisfying, although my lunch buddies' sweet and sour pork portion seemed a tad small. The lunch sets are reasonably priced considering the environment.

The place didn't have a lasting impression on me. The place was comfortable and the food was reasonable, but there are many other restaurants that offer the same things. Unless they find their niche, I probably won't visit The Eastern Wishes Cafe that often.

the weekend passes...
through the daze of work
love's clarity remains
