Summerlicious, hurrah! Finally had a chance to try 5th Element on Bay. We decided to sit outside so I didn't really get a chance to see the decor. From what I did see, it looked quite nice. I thought the food was quite good but overall, everything could have been better. We thought the chicken breast was a bit dry but the butter chicken sauce was great. The slightly dried chicken could have been saved with more sauce, though! Portion sizes were good for lunch, I thought! I am not going to size these pictures because I want you to be hungry!

Starters:

Grilled Fuji Apple and Mango Salad
Masala dressing | Feta crumble


Tandoori Shrimp
South African pepper salsa | Californian greens

Main:

Cilantro Rubbed Chicken Supreme

Dessert:

Cardamom and White Chocolate Mousse

Fresh Fruit Medley
With melon and mint liqueur dressing

I was not eating her dessert (though I did eat some) it was just a coincident :) We were not expecting icecream, but more of a `fresh fruit medley` *cough*fruit salad*cough* There didn't seem to have any melon in it either. I was excited for the mint liqueur dressing but that also seemed to have disappeared. She barely ate this one!

All in all, it was pretty good. I would recommend you check this out and I would definitely like to try their dinner Summerlicious specials. Also, booze at these restaurants is expensive. Really expensive.

There are a few days left for Summerlicious and I still crave for some good food! The next spot I want to hit is Fred's Not Here
