My friends and I try the $70 banquet from Lebanese restaurant Azima in Civic. There are plenty of tables inside and it’s quite spacious with a bar in the middle of the restaurant. We’re told all the food is served simultaneously, so there’s no staggering of dishes/courses. I start off with the Shia Zahra ($12) […] Read more…
I’ve been to Roy Jr a couple of times now. Located on the ground floor of an office building in the middle of the city, the café is spacious and seems to include a lobby area close to the elevators. I must admit I do feel like I’m banished from the main dining area each […] Read more…

The team uses Italian coffee brand Illy – interesting fact, all Illy coffee is sealed in a patented can where it’s air-free, so when you open it, it’s as fresh as it was when first packed!
