Veggie SF II

Date of visit: 10th December
Veggie SF @ Stanley St

So K and I were back, only this time for lunch. The menu selections only involve sets A-F, with your choice of a drink and soup of the day. Sufficient but not exhilarating. To begin with, we were served our choice of beverage (my cappuccino was surprisingly very enjoyable) and a soup of the day - 'spinach spirulina soup' which was the same kind as my last visit, but tasted significantly different. The soup tasted very much of potato rather than spinach and spirulina like last time, and was only at lukewarm temperature.... if you like potatoes, you will probably enjoy this if it were hot

"I Am Fabulous" ($98) 
Beetroot pate topped with cheese, alfafa sprouts, sliced cucumbers and tomatoes. Side of salad and pumpkin and potato wedges

Since the burger we tried last time was so epic, we both wanted to order it but thought may be should give the lasagna that was sold out last time a go. 
This burger wasn't as great as I remembered. Firstly, the bun was not the shiny brown soft bun we had last time. The filling of beetroot was fortunately, just as good. However, the pumpkin was not sweet this time round, and was too buttery.

 The burger inside
"Union Square" ($98)
Sheets of pasta with assorted vegetables, a layer of melted cheese on top and a dollop their home-made pesto.
This veggie lasagna was not as good as it looked. For me, the pasta sheets were way too over-cooked, the vegetables were over-cooked so they had no more texture, and I really didn't appreciate the addition of potatoes in this lasagna. Starch on starch...not good!! The pasta sauce could've been more heartier and richer rather than so liquidy, and the pesto was slightly too strong....not impressive.

Whilst I liked the Burger and cappuccino, I was disappointed with the lasagna which is usually very delicious if done right, and is not too hard either... Maybe dinner will have better execution overall for their items because of the massive rush during lunch hours? 
Anyway, thank you K for lunch!
