    Our table of 3 thoroughly enjoyed a delicious lunch special of fries, greens and salmon miso skewers totally scrumptious, our son had the squid equally tender and fresh followed by my favourite almond slice with raspberry sorbet and 2 Oreo cheesecakes. The food was a delight and beautifully presented. Drinks were good including a talented Singapore Sling and lattes. The ambiance is always special with refreshing breezes and polite professional service by staff who clearly enjoy their work as indicated by smiles, conversations and genuine interest in customer opinion and satisfaction of luncheon experience. Thanks Terrace Restaurant Emporium for another lovely lunch.
