Welcome to Thomson.

Had the sea salt maple cloud matcha latte at Macha Better. The matcha was smooth and earthy, topped with maple cream and a touch of sea salt. It leaned a little too milky. The pale colour already gave it away and the matcha tasted weak. Nice salty‑sweet layers but I’d have preferred a thicker and bolder matcha 》$6

I got the mix of Nutella and Biscoff sea salt brownies so I could enjoy both. Moist and rich without being overly sweet, with fillings that gave a fudgy kick while the base stayed more on the cakey side. The Nutella sea salt had that smooth chocolatey depth with a little salty edge, while the Biscoff sea salt brought a spiced sweetness that stood out on its own. Even better when heated up and definitely the kind of box that’s great for parties or sharing around 》$14.40 (after 20% Disc)

Have gotten to know about Harvest Union Market & Bar for quite a while ever since we had passed by its premises at Thomson Plaza some time ago — but little did we know that the establishment is actually affiliated with the neighbouring AFresh & Co. that is situated within the same mall. Harvest Union Market & Bar had taken over the former premises vacated by Kith Cafe at Thomson Plaza situated around the perimeters of the mall near where the taxi stand of the building is located. Being a cafe and bar, the food menu at Harvest Union Market & Bar is split into sections dedicated to Signature & Premium Cuts, Signature Mains, Signature Ocean Selections, Pasta & Pizza, All Day Breakfast & Light Plates, Salads, and Shareables & Sides. Beverages available at Harvest Union Market & Bar would be segmented into categories such as Water, Juice, Tea, Dairy, Coffee, Soft Drink, Beer, Taruhai and Happy Hour.

One thing we were surprise to find out about Harvest Union Market & Bar is its affiliation to Fishop — this is a seafood and fish retailer that used to also run its own bistro with an emphasis on serving up its fare from sea-to-plate previously at their former premises at Link@896; this is evidenced from the use of Fishop branded ware for its Fish & Chips Set items. Harvest Union Market & Bar allows its patrons to choose from different types of fish to go along with their Fish & Chips Set; the Fresh Barramundi was the lowest-priced of the lot at $20++. Thought that the Fresh Barramundi was a good option to go for for those whom are not too fussy about their choice of fish in general and are more for to experience Harvest Union Market & Bar’s fish & chips with its fresh fish offerings at large. The batter of the fish fillet weren’t overly thick; yet crisp enough whilst the fish is still sufficiently moist, soft and flaky within — the fish fillet being very delightful to have even on its own without even the use of sauces. We also liked how the fries were pretty well-executed; hot, crispy and well-seasoned with salt for flavour. Definitely one for the fish and chips lover to check out!

Have actually been quite curious about Pawon Vegetarian that is located at Sembawang Hills Food Centre having come across the existence of the establishment quite some time ago on social media. These folks are situated within a stall unit that faces the main thoroughfare of Sembawang Road being along the side that is closest to Jalan Leban. Pawon Vegetarian is a pretty unique concept — whilst being very much a vegetarian stall at heart, Pawon Vegetarian centres its focus on serving up Indonesian-style vegetarian cuisine; apart from serving up classic Vegetarian-style economic rice where patrons can opt for everything that is on display behind the counter, they also do offer six (6) rice / noodle dishes that are also prominently illustrated on its signboard for those looking for a more fuss-free experience dining here.

Being pretty much spoilt for choice, we were recommended by the lady behind the counter to go for the Nasi Tumpeng — Nasi Tumpeng is an Indonesian-style dish that features cone-shaped turmeric rice and an assortment of dishes; the version at Pawon Vegetarian does come with elements like Nonya Achar, ladyfingers, sambal, hard-boiled eggs, tempeh and even some form of mock beef as well. What left us most impressed out of the entire plate would be the mock beef; made out of soy elements, we were actually very surprised with the fibrous texture of the mock meat when we took a bite into it — it was also sufficiently moist and came with a tender texture that was easy to chew apart as well. Flavour-wise, there was also this note that seemingly tried to replicate the gaminess of beef with a very soft note of mock meat flavour that is barely detectable in the finishing notes as well. The rice also does carry a distinct fragrance of turmeric, while we also quite liked how the ladyfingers were done all soft with a slimy texture and mixed with mock meat for some element of bite as well.
