Joan Bowen Cafe

after our appt along tai seng, leelin was telling me this area is her territory so i let her decide the venue for lunch.

she suddenly mentioned this place called Joan Bowen. Apparently, she said the Prime Minister also mentioned this place in his rally speech or something. But the main thing is, this place actually hires autistic teenagers to work for them...













we shared a miso glazed scallops...



the scallop is of a decent size and its quite tasty. Leelin couldnt stop going.. " good, good, not bad " haha

for mains, we shared a squid ink pasta in alfredo cream sauce...



this is really yummy. the cream sauce is tasty with a garlic taste yet not over gerlard. there was also a decent number of prawns and their prawns are the very crunchy in texture kind and its a good size.

we also shared a pork belly...



the pork belly was a good portion. the meat was quite tender. the skin was a little overdone but overall it was not bad.

dessert was a banana walnut cake...



the cake is ok. i requested for an additional scoop of ice cream to go with the warmed up cake.

its a place worth visiting be it in terms of food or to lend a support. we were there 5 mins before 12, there place was relatively empty but by 12.10 pm, the place was full!
