You get to choose from lychee or oolong tea we went for the latter, which combines oolong tea-infused Hendricks Gin, with notes of citrus and white chocolate. Good for a party of four to five, this tea-infused cocktail is served in an IG-worthy pot and teacups. We then headed indoors for some evening drinks, starting with the aptly named Is It Tea You’re Looking For? ($28+). Complete with toasted sesame chimichurri, sautéed buttered veggies, and fries, the Australian striploin was juicy and flavourful despite its medium doneness. While the waffle wasn’t the best I’ve had, it went amazingly well with the duck meat, and a smear of apple jam for a slightly sweet finish.Īnother noteworthy mention is the Beef Striploin ($24+), which happens to be the priciest main on the menu.

Vibrant colours are splashed across the wall in the form of a mural painted by visual artist Jaxton Su, depicting a throwback memory of a typical mama store back in the good ol’ days.Ģ0 Nostalgic Primary School Snacks We Grew Up Loving Upon stepping in, my attention was immediately drawn to an actual mama storefront right smack in the centre, with some of my favourite childhood snacks lined up exactly how I remembered.
