An ex-student from my English language tuition class last year, presently studying in Concord, Shrewsbury in the UK, is back on his summer vacation and he contacted me and suggested meeting up for dinner. Owing to certain circumstances, we did not manage to do that on his previous trips home.
We went to the Happy Hours Cafe…as I had heard somebody saying that the food is nice and I noticed that they now have an air-conditioned section. I loved the honey pork ribs…
The butter prawns were not that great. I thought that they had over-fried the prawns making them a bit hard and dry…
The cereal fish fillet (with oats) dish was all right, nothing much to shout about…
…and I’ve had better fried cangkuk manis with egg elsewhere.
The mixed vegetable soup was o.k. too…
…so all in all, it was quite a nice dinner but there wasn’t anything that was so very delicious that I would be dying to go back there to eat some more. The food came up to RM40.00 which wasn’t too bad…considering that we had udang galah (freshwater prawns), some RM20-30 a kilo at the market…and the portions were big enough for 4 persons.
In comparison, I think what I had for breakfast at the same place was a lot more satisfying…
