Green on Earth Cafe
wholesome healthy food
I tagged along with mum to join my Grandma and aunts for their Mother's day lunch celebration. Aunt Gina suggested this place after reading a feature on Mind Your Body and booked a table for 10. To cater to Grandma and Aunt Angie, we had to forgo their commended modern western dishes and go for an Oriental Mother's Day 9-course Feast for $218 instead.
The nine dishes arrived not long after, since preparation was done beforehand. All of us had a bowl of their round fluffy brown rice each, cooked moist and sticky (akin to the japanese pearl rice). It was good!
Braised Abalone with Broccoli
Neatly layed mock abalone slices over a heap of assorted mushrooms sauteed in oyster sauce. Passably tasty but the broccolis at the side were a little hard.
Signature Thai Tofu Cake with Salad
An innovative dish of beancurd skin wrapped over tofu & vegetable mash- unique but not extraordinary.
Chilli Vegetarian Fish
Chilli gravy was not too overwhelming but the overcooked fish breaks apart when lifted.
Stir-fried Mixed Nuts and Veggie
Greasy stir-fry of carrots and mixed capsicums.
Shark's Fin Melon Soup
What a cheater dish; this bland soup contained a whole load of cabbage without any traces of the supposed shark's fin.
Sweet & Sour Vegetarian Ribs
Basic diced mock sausages in a thick and unbearably sweet gravy.
Stir Fried Jie Lan and Lily Bulb
Finally something to my liking, its a simple stirfry of kailan stems, carrots, lilybulb petals and black fungus. Non-oily and very light-tasting.
White Fungus with Gingko Nuts
It was weird to have dessert served before the main noodles. This one is rather pleasant, just middling i sweetness. Gingko nuts was replaced with wolfberries without any prior notice.
Fried Noodles in Hong Kong Style
The seriously huge portion shocked us- it came as a whole full tray! All being quite full from the rice already, we merely sampled a small plate each. Just some sticky and average noodles.
Service was quite good, especially from a particular waitress. But the jumbled sequence of dishes and badly planned timings were evidents of their atrocious time management. I also find the set too expensive overall, considering the average standard of dishes. oh, but i think i will return for their yummy-looking pastas, pizzas and cakes!
