Dropped by Jaya one to have my glasses adjusted. After settling that, went to look for a place for lunch. Almost settled for set lunch at Brussels Beer Cafe, but instead found a new outlet (to me anyway) called Coconut House.
Surprisingly, regardless of their name, they serve western and mainly italian food. Their specialty, I was told are the wood fired pizza's. I did see lots of blocks of wood by an oven at the back.

Looks like they serve set lunches here on weekends. Set lunches are basically a selection of mains plus a drink.

We ordered the Honey lemon drink with our set lunches. They seemed to have left out the lemon in the drink. It was way more lemon than honey (if any).

My dish was the first to come. The roasted italian sausage which is a chef's recommendation (I think 70% of the menu are chef recommended). I was probably expecting something at german restaurants where they serve sausage and a side of mash hehe.. Well over here they serve it with a piece of focaccia. The sausages were topped with a tomato based sauce and what do i see? bacon? Yuuumm....
Well here goes, tear of a bit of bread top it with a little sausage, bacon and sauce.. wow! I loved the flavors that were reacting in my mouth, herbs and spice from the sausage, slight sweet and sour from the sauce and the silky smooth bacon melting in my mouth.. drool.. :p
Safe to say, I loved this dish.

This next dish was the focaccia dish (not chef recommended). Its basically some focaccia bread with couple slices of bacon and salad consisting of lettuce, onions, mango and rocket leaves (seems they top most of their dishes with this). It was a nice dish, only complaint would be the portion. But then again, you get what you pay for. The bacon just tastes so good that a couple of slices just isn't enough hehe..

The set lunches are great if your not looking to gorge yourself in food. Its a nice light meal and big eaters would definitely need to order a couple of sides or maybe try their specialty, the wood fired pizza's. I'd probably give them another visit put their specialties to the test.
