Pan-seared pasta w sweet and savoury Thai green curry. Clever use of using yellow noodles w green curry because its so apt and complements each other. There could be more chicken bits to balance the proportion of noodles to chicken meat.

Amazing how the little bits of lup cheong adds on such oomph and little hint of sweetness to the dish. Carbonara sauce was very rich which means you can't leave it untouched for long as it will clump together. The salted egg bits blends into the flavor of carbonara although it can be easily overlooked because of the rich sauce. Yummy pasta w good combination. Portion for their pasta/noodle is enough for 2-3 to share.

In my opinion I think this rendition tastes good too although the exterior is not the crispy type we are typically used to. Reasonable portion of bite-sized creamy salted egg goodness.

Truffle fries worked well w their Tom Yum flavoring. The sprinkles may not look like much but the flavor is there. Also, the cost is only $6.80 which is a bargain for truffle fries. Read for more: http://glassnowflakes.blogspot.sg/2015/11/media-tasting-som-tam-orchard-central.html?m=1
Mookata at Orto sets itself apart from the rest by using traditional charcoal flame. Atmosphere here is pretty neat and clean, going there for dinner would be the best time to enjoy the scenery and the breeze.
Above is the Set for 2 which consists of: A combination of marinated chicken (thigh), pork (collar), prawns, squid, suriyaki, streaky bacon, pork belly, fishball, meatball, crabsticks, otah fishcake, round cabbage, chinese cabbage, kang kong, xiao bai cai, corn, golden mushroom, eggs, tung hoon and tofu.
If you don't like any of the vege/meat in the list you can change it to another so long as they are of the same category. Would recommend diners to go for the sets before deciding on extra side dishes. Enough for 2-4 adults to fill their tummy. Bacon with enoki mushroom will be extra side order, recommended to bacon lovers.
Tom Yum or Pork broth is available, with the first having to pay an extra $5.

Critrusy, has enough oomph to it due to the lime, it is very appetizing and fresh. With a sip of earl grey tea after a bite, the fragrance from both fused and engulfed my mouth, making it a pleasant combination and in refreshing my tastebuds.
Rich, creamy and smooth rendition of an earl grey tarte. Crust was thick enough which I like, consumed w the gooey filling just makes it a perfect afternoon. The piece of chocolate atop did not clash w the flavor of the tarte and is a good addition so it wouldn't be plain. Ambience is nice and relaxing, a good place to have high tea there while people watching or w some company.
Refreshing taste for a change especially when you're under the sweltering weather. Bits of lychee are present although because its frm the can, making the overall taste a little artificial. Topped w cereal crunch makes it a good blend of texture and balance in taste.
Had the big option which comes in this huge bowl w a generous amount and size of prawns. They tasted normal but for every prawn I had, had tomalley in it and that is a plus point for me! The prawn taste was evident in the broth itself albeit a little fishy so diners who are afraid of things like this do take note. I would prefer a stronger taste, perhaps it would be even stronger when its nearer to their closing time. There was also fried onions provided. A tiny ngoh hiang stall is in it too and in my opinion the you tiao w fish paste tasted the best w the chili provided.
The spiciness was barely there, wished the sauce had more spiciness because of what the name suggests. Asparagus and tempura bits are what I personally like, and they added texture to it which is nice. However there seems to be the element of dried bonito flakes in it which can be dampening. Overall the taste was quite a miss for me but I think its a good try, especially for those who is afraid to consume raw tuna.

Crispy prawn wrapped w roasted salmon, topped w a ton of roe. To make it even more enticing, it is drenched w a combination of mentai and tobiko sauce. Contrary to first impressions upon looking at the image on the menu, the sauce wasn't too heavy. It complements and doesn't overpower the sushi itself.

Miso itself fuses nicely w the soup (not the kind where the miso sinks to the bottom and you have to stir it after some time). Cabbage was really sweet, clams fresh and tender. Having all the elements in one mouthful makes it really yummy and comforting. $5 for such quality soup is definitely a steal. Must try and must have!
