\"Herbal
\nProfessor Hong Hai, senior fellow of Institute of Advanced Studies, adjunct professor at College of Business in NTU, and TCM physican, opens a cafe on the second floor of his clinic in a shophouse. Like Luke Skywalker who brought balance to The Force, the recipes are concocted to bring balance to flow of blood and qi<\/em> in the body to prevent ailments. Because every bodily constitution is different, you may consult Sue, a TCM graduate and assistant manager of the cafe, if you’re not sure the food is suitable for you.<\/p>\n

A set lunch<\/strong> ($15) includes rice, a soup and a stir-fried dish. You can also order a afternoon tea set<\/strong> ($7 alone or additional $5 to set lunch), which comes with a refillable pot of herbal tea and a muffin.
\n<\/p>\n

\"Herbal
\nThe best thing about\u00a0the set lunch is the rice. The rice is fluffy, and the olive rice,\u00a0<\/strong>rich with omega-3 to reduce heart disease,\u00a0more flavorful and complex than the sweet pumpkin rice<\/strong>. In general, we find the food slightly sweet, instead of the usual savory. Such as the stir-fried dishes, asparagus with black fungus and lily bulbs<\/strong> and fish with dang gui (Chinese angelica)\u00a0<\/em>and mushroom<\/strong>. (Black fungus and dang gui<\/em> are good for blood flow.)\u00a0But the sweetness comes from the ingredients and lack of salt, so it is healthy.<\/p>\n

\"Herbal
\nLike the side dishes, the soups are sweet such as almond aloe vera soup<\/strong> (for skin and lungs), “cooling” old cucumber duck soup<\/strong>, and green apple fig soup<\/strong> (for lungs and to reduce phlegm). The exception to the rule is bittergourd soup<\/strong>, our favorite, for “cooling” and strengthening lungs. While we like our stir-fried dishes to be light, the light soups are not flavorful enough for us. “\u4e0d\u591f\u5165\u5473,” The Ex says.<\/p>\n

\"Herbal
\nFrom the afternoon tea set<\/strong> ($7), the\u00a0red dates muffin<\/strong>\u00a0is better than the\u00a0black sesame muffin<\/strong>. While both are warm and moist and not-too-sweet, there are bits of red dates in the muffin so the date taste comes on strongly, but not for the black sesame.<\/p>\n

\"herbal
\nThe \u00a0herbal teas<\/strong>\u00a0are also delicious, with just a thumb of rock sugar.\u00a0There is a\u00a0tea for clear vision<\/strong>, and a tea for calming purposes<\/strong>, but we choose\u00a0the floral\u00a0Yang Gui-fei tea<\/strong>, #1 beauty in ancient China, (naturally for beautifying purposes<\/strong>), and the Gentleman tea \u541b\u5b50\u8336<\/strong>, with dendrobium, American ginseng, and other herbs for revitalizing. Hey, when a gentleman meets Yang Guifei, he needs all the revitalizing\u00a0he can get. Even for someone like me who don’t like ginseng, the balanced teas come across as sweet, refreshing and delicious.<\/p>\n
