It was a hectic two hours during which we sold out both of our lunch options -- Malaysian Chicken Curry and Stir Fry Veg with Tofu -- as well as quite a few books, and the space was fairly full with people browsing and milling about. It was alive and buzzing with energy; a great feeling (proof: check out team member Cui below!) Quite a few neighbours also dropped by to say 'hello;' so we made some new friends too. It was lovely to see the quiet space earlier in the day (see photo above -- when ex-team member Monica dropped by) transformed. What was really nice too was that many people didn't rush away after they had finished their lunch, they stayed and chatted, had coffee. It was a bit of a crush but there was a warm, communal feel.
Came home and prepared marinade for tomorrow's lunch offering -- Grilled Lemongrass Chicken -- a recipe I'd dreamnt up. This week I'm trying out recipes and will see how the feedback is. I'm even going to make Soy Chicken with Oyster Mushrooms, Red Dates and Goji Berries -- which I know isn't very typical. So, onwards and upwards.
Thank you to all who ventured our way today, we hope you enjoyed your visit, and look forward to welcoming you again soon.
