If you’re after something light, try the seasonal fresh fruit, Bircher muesli or a bowl of plain congee with traditional condiments. For something more substantial, head to the egg station for eggs made to order, or load up on French toast, hash browns, and chicken sausage.\n\nWant to try something local? The rotating dim sum selection includes siew mai, har gow, and char siew pau. You’ll also find options like Nasi Lemak with sambal, peanuts and fried anchovies, or fishball noodles for a bold local start.\n\nGrab a strong coffee or fresh juice, take a seat, and enjoy the relaxed setting.
