From Edwin and Cooks, a new bistro that had taken over the former premises of now-defunct Chicken Clinic at Thomson V Two — the bistro serves up salads, burgers and sandwiches as well as pasta for its lunch menu, while they serve up a bigger variety including dessert and entree during dinner; both menus were available during lunch on the weekend I made my visit.

Ordered this for the sheer novelty given how interesting it sounded on paper — linguine, avocado cream, kale, roasted capsicum and cauliflower, parmesan. While the dish is actually well-executed, the presentation was a little on the homely side for a bistro; that being said, the dish was safely good but felt like it was short of the spark. The Avocado Cream wasn't too jelak; it was more on the creamier side and went well with the al-dente linguine, but the dish felt generally one dimensional save for the crunch that the capsicum gives. Perhaps they could look into doing kale chips in regards to the kale in the dish to help provide that slight hint of smoky, lightly bitter char that also adds a bit of crispness to the dish, while torching the florets of the cauliflower for an aburi-esque feel for more impact in the flavour department.
