Le Petit Prince

On Sunday my family went for out weekly Sunday lunch at The Little Prince Café. It's a small, pretty café within walking distance of City Square Mall. The theme of the café is based on the storybook The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (no idea how to pronounce his name) and most of the things in the café like the menu and wall designs are painted by the owner. Mum suggested it because she saw it in the newspaper but we were a little apprehensive about eating lunch there at first because they seemed to only serve sandwiches and snacks, but in the end we decided to try it because it was just too cute.
    
Some pictures of the café:

Blur but it's the only picture I took of this wall. The prince and birds are painted on :O

The staircase and pictures are painted onto the wall too!


There were many copies of The Little Prince book in different languages























The menu! All the pictures of the food were painted on with watercolour.
     
Moving on to the food:

I had a pot of berry tea ($4.50) which was very good (and not to mention very pretty), you could actually taste quite a strong berry taste, not like other kinds of tea where you can only smell but not taste the berry flavour.
     
I had an otah ciabatta sandwich ($8.90), it was very interesting because there were also pineapples in the sandwich. It tasted surprisingly good together with the otah, and very satisfying.

My mum had a mushroom quiche ($7.90) and she was gushing about how good the pastry was and how the egg taste did not overwhelm the mushroom taste, so I'm guessing it must've been good. 

Even the empty plates were pretty:
     
So that concludes my post, have a great week ahead! One more day of holiday before it's back to school for me! To be honest, I'm actually looking forward to school haha
