From Nom Nom at MacPherson Lane, a newly-opened cafe situated beside Pasta King (or near Alfero Gelato if you prefer) that serves mix-and-match plates for mains — patrons choose a base, select a free topping, pick their proteins and select their greens and then opt if they wish to go for extra toppings.

The Cauliflower Rice is a great option for those that are looking for a healthier option; it is distinctively cauliflower taste-wise but carries a texture similar to quinoa; pairs pretty well with proteins for something light. The smoked and spiced Norwegian salmon was flavourful on its own, though the scales could have been removed more throughly and would be better overall if they could retain its juices by being more moist. While being pretty pedestrian, the spicy Hungarian Mangalican Sausage would appeal to those who just like cured meat in general; it's carries the texture of processed cured meats but the spiciness does come through being pretty mildly so. Lotus Root Salted Egg was another crowd pleaser; the salted egg pulls through nicely without being overly creamy — done the "dry" way, it was not overwhelming and came with crisp curry leaves while the lotus root chips do come reasonably crisp. Overall, a plate that is of reasonable quality.
