Finally, the first dish is served with much fanfare from the table (We were all hungry LOL). This is not your normal soup as this is actually served cold. You will also experience the very interesting slight fizz on your tongue when you send the spoon into your mouth! It makes you want to drink more because the taste is just so unique. The chef later explained that the fizz that we experienced is the result of some chemical reactions with the ingredients used. MIND-BLOWN *BOOOOOOM!*

You would have noticed that sometimes, my alter-ego #auntiebean, surfaces in some of my blog posts. However, this time, the Evilbean thinks that TPS should actually cut down on the portion of the soup. (WHAT?!!) That is because the taste kinda become too much after several mouthfuls. Cutting down the portion of this can actually make people crave for the main course more! So, if you decide to head down TPS the next time and see this served in half a portion, this is because we suggested it. DON'T PUNCH US!





Our salad entree is the Caprese. This is very flavourful and nice, but it was quite hard to eat. It would be better if TPS can serve this with the tomato, basil and mozzarella all in bite-sized portions! Would make for better presentation and it's easier to eat as well! Something like this:



THIS.IS.SUPER.GOOD! The bread is toasted to that perfect crispy crunch, and it has that slightly charred taste which goes perfectly with the Burrata cheese! After carefully cutting a portion of the cheese that is drizzled with walnut pesto and placing it on top of a slice of bread, I put it in my mouth and bite into it...

Firstly, your teeth sinks into that soft, creamy layer of cheese. Then comes the part where you have to chew the bread and you can literally hear the crunchy bread making love to the smooth, buttery cheese inside your mouth! You might find that $18 might be too much to pay for a few pieces of bread and a chunk of cheese. But, did you know that Burrata cheese is actually an artisan cheese, and they are actually expensive because they are known for their buttery and creamy taste! If you are trying to impress that girl who loves cheese, bring her here for this Burrata and you will score a few brownie, or rather, cheese points from her!





I am not a fan of mussels so I only ate a piece of the mussel and sipped the sauce. Can't comment much on this.





Do not mistake the three slices of sausage that you see in the picture for luncheon meat. But in fact, you would definitely mistake it for luncheon meat because the contechino sausage taste like luncheon meat. LOL did I just confuse you? 

This did not impress me at all as the meat was soggy, and the broth suffered from too much herbs with little chicken taste. 



This is a MUST-TRY! The chicken skin is crispy, while the meat is flavourful! The chef did a good job in rubbing and "bua-ing" the chicken with the spices. It is so good you can actually eat it on its own (SORRY I STOLE YOUR TAGLINE GARDENIA). Even so, you should not, because that tomatilla salsa sauce is AWESOME. It adds an extra punch to the chicken because it is spicy and flavourful! If you eat the chickpeas one by one, you can be there for an hour because they gave us so much! 

And then finally, my favourite.. DESSERTS!


Overall, I felt that there are still lots of room for improvement in terms of the food and the presentation. The place is quite ulu, so it really needs to have a couple of really good, interesting food to entice customers to keep coming back. I heard that the Belinda's Perogis is really awesome, so I will go back there again to try it!
