Be My GÆST – The Nordic Affair

You probably seen me coming to GÆST infinite times; but I actually have not written any reviews about them. The good folks brought us divine Nordic food in the central business district and I trust that GÆST well-deserved all my votes. 

Despite the tiny space of the kitchen and its interiors, you will be amazed how could they churn out high quality food from the limited space, and you will be pleased to know that everything here are made from scratch. 

Roasted pork with crackling, orange marinated cabbage with parsley, red apples and mustard mayonnaise. 

SALMON – Locally cold smoked salmon, with honey and apple pickled, beetroot, rocket and horseradish cream.

CHICKEN – Roasted chicken breast, with lemon marinated celery stalk, green apples, pea tendrils and fresh herb cream.

Salad of the day – BEETROOT with feta, rocket, pine nuts, and served with homemade sourdough bread. 

Another daily salad on the table – WATERMELON with feta, onions, couscous, rocket and served with homemade sourdough bread. Soup is also made available; and the menu changes on a daily basis. 

GÆST are also open for dinner in the evenings (until 9.30pm). They have introduced an evening menu of sourdough pizzas, organic wines and nordic craft beers.

Danish style omelette with potatoes, bacon, cherry tomatoes and served with sourdough bread and dips/spread. 

Weekday Breakfast (0730 am – 1030 am) 
* Freshly baked BREAD served with a choice of Danish butter and homemade rhubarb compote / brie / creme cheese / homemade caramel 

* Homemade Muesli with homemade rhubarb compote, fresh fruits and geek yogurt 

The usual Scrambled Eggs menu comes with freshly smoked salmon, sourdough bread and eggplant salad. I actually tried the smoked salmon sandwich before, so I requested to take it out from the plate. This was not a common practice for the staff, but they were so kind and just charged me for what I wanted. 

For those who have a low tolerance to goat cheese, you can request to replace it with feta or creme cheese (whichever ingredients are available). Just make sure you inform the staff when you are placing your order. 

*Menu may subject to change depending on the availability of the fresh ingredients. 

VERDICT
Try EVERYTHING on the menu. Yes I mean everything, GÆST has a lean menu that serve simple, honest, homemade food priced comfortably below $20 that will not break your wallet. From the number of frequent visits you see on my Instagram and Burpple posts, rest assured that you will not be disappointed.
