The décor is of this establishment is like a indoor garden with tall 'trees' surrounding the dining area. The open concept kitchen also allow you to see the chefs & bartenders at work preparing your food and drinks.

Once
seated, we were given a tablet for the menu and to place our order.
There is a printed menu available on each table as well. If this is
your first time here, you will probably need to get the service staff
help to run through the order, as the initial briefing are not very
helpful.

I ordered
Pork Belly Special Lunch Set ($15.80) which comes with ice lemon tea
and ice cream. The pork belly is served on top of open sandwich
concept with scrambled eggs, topped with mash potatoes. On the sides
are baked beans, grilled tomatoes and garden salad with brown sauce.
The pork belly is tender and tasty, the mash is smooth and delicious
with gravy on top while the scramble eggs ooze a slightly pungent
aroma due to the cheese they used. I just wish there are more slices
of pork belly in it. :)

The
Cookies and Cream ice cream that come with the set lunch is about
half of a normal scoop. Mini size. The taste is pretty average and
nothing memorable. They should just skip the ice cream and give a
warm soup instead.

Little
Devil decided on Sashimi Bento ($28.80). The portion of the sashimi
are quite generous. Three slices each of swordfish, tuna, salmon,
yellow tail, sashimi prawns, tamago, kani stick on top of sushi rice
with salmon roe. The sashimi are fresh and the cuts are thick. The
rice portion are huge, fluffy with the right amount of vinegar for
sushi rice.

Our
little E (our niece) decided to order Gammon Ham Pancakes ($11.80).
Three stack of medium size pancakes, served with scrambled eggs,
gammon hams with butter and maple syrup. The pancakes are fluffy but
a little bit dry. The scrambled eggs has the same pungent aroma as
the one in the pork belly sandwich, while the ham are thick and not
as salty as other ham.

For the
service here, keep your expectation to the minimum. During our visit,
the place was not packed so its quite manageable. But as the crowd
grows, it is very difficult to get their attention.

Overall,
Social Square provide a good place to get a bite in Parkway Parade.
The quality of the food is quite good, the price is reasonable and
the greenery atmosphere is very relaxing. Unless, you got kids start
to run around and scream their head off. Cheers!!
