Left: The Citrus Salad from the Longevity and Calming menu; Right: Turkish Delight

Here’s a snapshot of some of the courses: an aesthetically plated appetiser of Citrus Salad with Sesame Clusters came with a stack of tomatoes, lettuce and avocado drizzled with a zesty orange dressing, and a nutty Turkish Delight of pistachios, Medjol dates, activated cashews and cardamom powder — this turned out to be our favourite dish, the sweet dates making it almost like a dessert.

Left: Brown Rice with Tofu; Right: Portobello Mushroom Burger

The main course for the gentleman was Brown Rice with Tofu, concocted with organic brown rice topped with homemade tofu, cashew nuts, tomatoes and green tea spices that reminded us of Hakka thunder-tea rice. For the ladies, the dense Portobello Mushroom Burger came closest to a meat dish. Portions of both mains were substantial and deceptively filling.

Overall, Frunatic’s concept of melding clean-eating and fine dining is laudable and timely, given that consumers are much more health conscious than ever. Don't come expecting normal restaurant food; the food is palatable from a wellness angle, leaving us feeling well-fed yet light despite a hearty meal. The prices of these meals are not easy to swallow — but then good health is priceless.

For those seeking more casual bites and friendlier prices, Frunatic offers Wholesome Savour, a lovely cafe section located in the foyer fronting the restaurant.
