Tamarind Cafe

SETTING

Tamarind Cafe has been operating for over two years and continues to receive compliments on its stylish interior design and innovative dishes, all of which make this restaurant-cum-gallery a must place to visit.

FOOD

The restaurant is popular with both vegetarians and meat-eaters. The menu is very creative, stylish and delicious with a combination of east and west cuisine. Sylvie Bruzeau and Luka Wong, the owners, are always around to greet and make recommendations. For starters, try crispy mushroom with a spicy sauce, or bean bean salad, the latter a signature dish of black, red and white beans with fresh coriander in a spicy lime dressing which is healthy and full of fibre. For tofu lovers, highly recommended is Albondigas, balls of tofu, nuts and vegetables coated with sesame seeds and served with a roasted red pepper sauce. For a main course, try the famous dish of creative sushi, a selection of four types of sushi rolls: mango and homemade pesto; cheese,dill and basil; crispy baby corn, mushroom and Thai basil; and miso-grilled vegetables. Another favourite is wild mushroom steak; this dish is topped with pepper sauce and served with garlic brown rice and vegetables. There is a long list of desserts, including yummy banana almond fritters.
