Purple Peanuts
Japanese
Affectionately known as ‘the Peanut’ by local office workers, this dependable canteen dishes out sizzling teriyaki chicken and rich curries with ninja speed. Lunch on the run is as simple as grabbing a prawn soba noodle salad or sushi box from the fridge to avoid queuing. But the wait is never long, and worth it for a grilled chicken roll or crunchy vegetarian rice ball and mixed salad or nori rolls (brown or white rice). House-made puddings come in Asian-inspired flavours including black sesame and green tea, and there are truffles and chocolates to remedy the 3-o’clock slump.
