Weekend Food List: Home decor shop with a yummy bistro

On the wall near the travellator at Tanglin Mall's basement carpark is a black signboard with white text that tells you about home decor shop House of AnLi. You can't miss it.

But what it doesn't tell you is that the shop also has a bistro which serves good food.

Light heather grey and beige tones accent the bright and inviting dining space at this Belgian-inspired bistro, which also serves Mariage Freres tea.

I appreciate that the eatery uses organic eggs from New Zealand.

The deep orange yolks pack plenty of flavour. Have your eggs (from $6 for one) soft-boiled, poached or scrambled, with add-ons such as smoked salmon.

The smoked eel brunch plate ($26) with avocado, grilled asparagus and caviar served on sourdough toast, is simple and light.

The bistro also makes a good zucchini and bacon quiche ($16, above), with a thin, crumbly pastry shell and a lush, home-style filling.

Main courses include moussaka ($28), beetroot risotto with feta ($24) and dishes such as lemon sole ($38) and beef cheek ($28).

WHERE: House of AnLi, 03-17 Tanglin Mall, 163 Tanglin Road MRT: Orchard OPEN: 9am to 9pm daily TEL: 6235-3851 INFO: houseofanli. com/the-bistro/
