Soft shell crab + pesto lover alert! This place’s got best of both worlds!

#celebrateit Order a Caesar salad and soft shell crab pesto pasta. Both were absolutely delightful. Being a person that actually dislikes dressing, I found the dressing in the salad just nice in amount, and coated unexpectedly uniformly on each layer of romaine lettuce. Which I believe was part of the kitchen’s deliberate effort. The generous amount of cheese, garlic flavoured crispy croutons and breaded soft-boiled egg added a good bunch of flavours and textures to it. The pesto, on the other side, was absolutely enjoyable with all the herby and earthy fragrance while incorporating some Asian chilli heat in it. Which is not how the traditional pesto usually is done, but I found the balance incredibly thoughtful. Like it added some decent kick to it, elevated the flavours, yet took nothing away from our enjoyment with the herby goodness. The only downside is the price. But I can’t blame it when it’s situated in one of the most expensive malls in towns. Other than that, I have to say I truly enjoyed every bite of my food on the table.
