Perfect Lunch at Corduroy & Finch

Wood-roasted chicken and mesculun salad. Yummy! I didn't know that the particular salad I like has a name, and the name is mesclun.. Here's the BBC Food definition: "This is the name given to a mixture of salad greens. The term comes from the Provençal word for 'mixture' and refers to a mix of young field greens such as wild and cultivated chicory, lamb's lettuce and dandelion leaves, but may also include rocket, chervil, purslane and oak leaf lettuce. The idea is to create a good balance of strong- and mild-flavoured greens."

That's what I like, the balance of strong- and mild-flavored greens. Normal salad as interpreted by most other eateries in Singapore are horribly bland and dominated by tasteless iceberg lettuce. Bleugh. Well, back to Corduroy & Finch. It's a very pretty place, they wisely designed the seating on the 2nd flooor as a loft, which gives it an airy, out-of-Singapore feel. Very nice. And full of Caucasians! Why?? It may be the special stuff like proper mesclun salad.
