The meal we shared at Jeffrey’s lounge was phenomenal.

The menu was well thought out, with a gradual progression of temperature, starting with a kicker of carrot and radish pickles, followed by numerous other dishes. What stood out was the Long Bean Pork Rice, and the Sweet Water Noodles, both of which complemented each other well. My favourite item on the menu was perhaps the Long Bean Pork Rice, which was bursting with flavour, and left all of us wanting more. The meal ended perfectly with a warm dessert that was rather traditionally Chinese.

While few (if any) would be let down by the quality of dishes Jeffrey produced, I think there is more to this Lounge than the food. I will highly recommend coming alone, and giving yourself the chance to meet people. Do remember that it is an undergraduate who is preparing food for you (at a very affordable price) within his own apartment. This is perhaps one of those stories which I will look back on, and treasure how inconceivable this concept is, if it had not been done by Jeffrey.

Food was great, conversations were heartfelt, atmosphere was perfect, and the sound of passing traffic and cozy space did nothing to dampen the vibe of the space, if anything, it added to it. Check it out, have a good conversation, before the semester ends!
