I have dined quite a few times at Melt The World Cafe and really enjoy their delectable spread that is consistently good and have recommended quite a few people to there. One thing good about Melt – The World Cafe is that their chef allow to accomodate diner’s dietary needs too, so your guests or friends who are vegetarians or with special request will not feel left out.  Please take note that there will be no credit card promotions here thou.

However, looking at the wide spread and also especially now they have some entertainment activities for the little ones, you can consider this venue as one of the contender for your Christmas feasting watchlist. 🙂
