If everything goes smoothly, Taman Taynton View will welcome a new cafe next week, tackling rice platters and coffee with contemporary East Asian twists.
Customise your meal, combining rice with a choice of Japanese curry, white tomyam, dried shrimp chilli sambal or bolognese sauce, rounded out with protein of fried chicken chop, pork or mixed seafood, plus egg in the form of a sunny side up, tornado omelette or soft-baked yolk.
SSL Cafe’s interpretation of Japanese curry packs a spicier-than-expected kick, tasting soulfully homemade with chicken broth, carrots, potatoes, red onions, garlic, ginger and chillies.
For beverages, Overnight makes a nice nightcap - espresso with rice wine, honey and fresh milk.
SSL - which stands for Shun Shun Lai - is set to launch by May’s end, a welcoming neighbourhood space with a friendly team.
