The Lobster Rolls are stuffed full of succulent seafood

SPOILED FOR CHOICE

Mezza9 at the Grand Hyatt has always been known as a place offering great options, with no fewer than nine different wining and dining experiences for those who have a difficult time making up their minds. Now that choice is extended to its weekday set lunches, where diners can put together their own two- or three-course menu ($35/$45) from an extensive selection that includes Japanese, Thai, Chinese and Western favourites. In the the appetiser section, beetroot salads, crab cakes and Maine Lobster Rolls comfortably alongside Japanese silken tofu, sashimi salads and Thai grilled fishballs doused in spicy tamarind sauce.

For the mains, lamb chops, burgers, pot pies, rice bowls, ee-fu noodles and udon jostle for attention but the dessert section has two clear winners—the Swiss Chocolate Fondant with vanilla soft serve and the Pink Lady Apple Tart with vanilla ice cream. Add to that a new selection of fresh juice blends and smoothies, and you can be sure this will be a meal that will fully satisfy all your cravings.
