This place, an affiliate of the one in Kuching, is just round the corner from my house. In fact, for a café in this category, it is the nearest but for some reason or other, I do not frequent it all that much. Since it opened some time ago, maybe I’ve been there around five times, more or less, whereas there are others that I go to so very often.
Maybe I was put off by the tacky plastic flowers that I saw on one of those earlier occasions when I dropped by this place but they’ve certainly progressed from those…
…and the food is pretty good, the service pleasant and efficient.
The Christmas decorations are up…
…and I absolutely love these miniatures that they have on display in their glass cabinets…
Don’t you find them absolutely enchanting?
I do think this little effort on their part is kind of nice too…
– if everyone does something, no matter how little and insignificant it may be, it is a step in the right direction.
Well, we dropped by for lunch last Friday and my girl had their fish and chips (Rm16.50)…
…which she said was good and they did not use dory…
…unlike at a number of places in town which can be quite a put-off, really!
My missus ordered this sambal seafood fried noodles (RM14.90)…
– she isn’t really into western cuisine quite as much as her daughter and would much sooner go for stuff like this but I did get to try a bit and it reminded me of what I had cooked myself at home not too long ago. Hehehehehehe!!!!
I went for seafood too…
…their seafood pasta (spirals) in creamy sauce, baked (RM18.50)…
…and I would say that I did enjoy it…
It was nice – not over-creamy and rich that one would get put off after a few mouthfuls, the pasta was al dente and they were very generous with the prawns and squids…but at that price, I am sure they could have added one New Zealand mussel as well, or maybe two.
All of us were very full after we had finished our individual orders but I just had to order a slice of this…
…to try. This was their Blue Velvet (RM11.90) as opposed to the red counterpart…and the name reminded of this oldie from way back when. It was all right – I thought the cream in between was very nice but I would prefer the cake in the red ones – those that are truly well-made, of course!
All in all, it was a delightful lunch and after we had had our fill, we went shopping at the mall where this place is located…and yes, I was using my new camera and no, I did not go back to the more familiar old one. There was sufficient light at this place to allow me to take decently nice photographs…except the one of the cake perhaps which I feel is slightly out of focus, not very sharp. Now, I would have to try using it in dimmer conditions again to see how the snapshots will turn out…
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
