Review: Turquoise Room (3.5 out of 5 bear paws)

So long as you have wheels, this is the perfect place for a lazy weekend afternoon (it opens at 12 pm on Saturdays, not sure about Sundays). It's a welcome retreat with its whitewashed Mediterranean style, lush greenery outside the large windows, and ceiling fans. Sadly for the establishment, but luckily for us, only three tables were taken at lunch today.

The 2Bears and their friends the Chikus ordered
(1) grilled portobello mushroom,
(2) chicken caesar,
(3) three types of pasta - crab, slipper lobster and prawn+arugula,
and all was yummy until the desserts arrived. The 2Bears think that crumble on apple crumble should not consist of crushed digestive biscuits. Sometimes the ice cream topping saves the dessert it's built on, but no chance here. :(

I had wanted to try the pork loin stuffed with eggplant and rolled in prosciutto that fellow food blogger ("flogger") Steffles wrote about but sadly, it wasn't on the menu.
