A non-meat cafe has just opened recently in Chow Thye Road. JenxDan Lifestyle Cafe offers its customers a variety of good and healthy dishes. The cafe name is made up from the initial of the husband and wife, Jayne and Danny. In fact Danny is also the chef who plans the dishes for the menu which is full of Western delicacies and also some Chinese delights. There are some dishes that include eggs and some well prepared ‘meat replacement’ foods.
I had some wonderful delights from their menu, starting with the appetizer, Italian Tomato Bruchestta. This dish comes with a topping of chopped tomato with basil in extra-virgin olive oil. It was full of flavors even though it was not served on a baguette. The healthier whole meal bread was just as good.
