This time, I had duck salad with orange vinaigrette for dinner.

smoked duck salad

This salad was basically slices of smoked duck and peeled mandarin orange, accompanied by cashew nuts, sprinkled with wolf berries on a bed of lettuce. Orange vinaigrette completed the salad.

At first glance, Cedele looked like an ordinary sandwich bar. The ambience is cosy. A great place to hang out with friends, but nothing so special that warrants that almost cult-like draw.

Soup. Yeah. Steak. So what? Cakes. Yawn.

Pumpkin soup’s comfort food?

You’ve got to be kidding.

I skipped the soup.. until I got a whiff of the soup my pals ordered.

Pumpkin soup smelled so delectable it had to be my imagination.

When I caught a whiff of the chicken vegetable soup, I couldn’t stop salivating. So to avoid embarassing myself, I ordered a bowl.

You know those home cooked soup boiled for an entire day to create that rich, wholesome base?

My chicken soup was like that. Only better. Not only was the soup so full of rich flavour, the veggies and chicken were tasty and tender too. Cooked to perfection. And that was just the beginning.

We had free flow of bread to go with the soup. Not just plain bread but raisin walnut bread that’s soft and yummy.

Then came the steak. Oh what a steak. A rib eye steak grilled to perfection. I like mine medium well and that’s what I got. A tender steak that melted in my mouth. Seasoned with herbs. Covered with a generous pile of mushrooms. Beneath was an incredibly tasty bed of potato or pumpkin?

While other steak houses require gravy to make the steak tasty, this juicy steak didn’t need any help.

That had to be the best steak I’ve eaten in my life.

Memories of that sumptious steak still haunt me. I felt like I was in heaven. ok. so I didn’t do a Harry met Sally dining scene but it was kind of close.

Oh and did I mention the delicately flavoured salad that came with it?
Instead of creamy dressing, this had a light tangy dressing that’s vinegar based and wholesome.

Actually, the entire meal was wholesome. and yummy. Real comfort food that’s so healthy I just couldn’t believe it.

I associate comfort food with ice cream, chocolates and potato chips but this seriously thrashes all that. Today’s lunch at Cedele came up tops.

To top off the meal, my pals and I shared a banana expresso cake, one of cedele’s specialties I’d imagine. It had a light-as-air sponge base, a coating of chocolate that was neither to thick not too then and a creamy banana center that hit the right spot. There was a generous layer of crunchy.. were those oats? I don’t believe it.

After my Cedele experience, to this junk food fanatic, the phrase wholesome comfort food is no longer an oxymoron.
