Mosaic Asian Kitchen & Wine Bar

I needed some lunch so I headed down to the Queensway because I had spotted this new place, Mosaic. The signage said Vietnamese/​Thai & Wine bar and also mentioned a lunch special. It is around 1:00 p.m. and the place isn’t busy at all. There is only one other table of diners. The front door and the back door were both open so it created a beautiful breeze through the restaurant. I looked around and thought to myself why is it that every new small place has to look like a Restaurant Makeover makeover? Formulaic. Standard banquette Ultrasuede seating. Those slate grey stones that everyone is putting up on their walls to create that pseudo chic look.
The Mosaic offers your basic $ 8.95 lunch with five different choices, one being a standard vegetarian option of Green Curry Tofu. I opted for the Chicken with mixed vegetables & Jasmine rice and a side soup (you get soup or salad). They bring it to you all together, soup, main & rice. While it was all fresh that is about where the goodness ended for me. Please, please, please… how about a little flavour here folks!!! Lots of beautiful, fresh vegetables stirred up with a teensy, tiny, itty bitty drivel of Oyster sauce. They could have added some lemongrass or fresh ginger to this dish and it would have been a hundred times better. Other than the fact that I could feel food in my mouth my taste buds wouldn’t have been any the wiser. As usual I’m a snappy happy and have a couple of pics, nothing special, just off my phone.
I don’t think I’d venture back in to Mosaic. It is a shame because the Queensway in this area is in need of some decent little eateries. Not everyone over here can afford the luxury of Kaji.
