TeaWood totally appeals to the urbanites: a decor of green and wood tone, baskets of fake produce,…read morea blackboard with a childlike drawing of a farm, cutleries that look like spades and pitchforks, and even tables with a glass box tabletop of fake sprouting greens. It speaks of our idea of a farm: wholesome, natural, nostalgic, healthful, minus the dirt under your fingernails and the manure on your boots. It makes you think that you are eating healthy and natural, even if you are eating fried chicken or an 8" tall honey toast loaded with ice cream and cream.
Don't get me wrong, I don't hate this place. Successful marketing, that's all. It's nice to feel a bit closer to nature and a bit more tranquil just sitting inside the restaurant. And their food is pretty good. We ordered a set lunch, which for $72 includes a drink, an appetizer, an entree (your choice of protein includes beef, pork, chicken, duck and fish! No veg option though) and a small noodle/rice. They hand made their noodles, and the beef is tender, so I really enjoy their beef noodle soup.
We couldn't resist ordering the honey toast. It is a stack of 3 thick slices topped with mango, mango ice cream, whipped cream, sauces, marshmallow and more. Quite a feast for the eyes. They bring along knife and tongs to make it easier to make headway into this gigantic tower. I really enjoy the dessert. The toast is crunchy on the outside but still soft inside, so it doesn't hurt my tongue like sandpaper, and has a hint of sweetness. Personally, I think this is a dessert best shared among 3 or 4 people. The two of us got really stuffed putting this away.
A significant portion of the menu is dedicated to drinks (tea and coffee) and desserts, making this a great spot for afternoon tea.
