Special treatment…

That day, we decided to drop by here (2.291406,111.829162)…

…for lunch and to try some of the very many new desserts that they now have on their menu.

My missus stuck loyally to her favourite here, their kway chap special (RM8.37, inclusive of GST)…

…while I decided to give their kampua noodles (RM4.77, inclusive of GST)…

…another try, along with their pian sip, dry or what they call wanton (RM4.77, inclusive of GST)…

…on their menu. Yes, both tasted very good, much nicer than how I remembered them to be when I had those a long time ago but I certainly would request for a little less msg, should I ever order those again here. Perhaps others may be quite all right with it but I thought it was a little bit too much for me. For one thing, at those prices, unless you are short of time like if you only have a few days here and you would like to try everything or as much as you can at one single stop, you may be able to get these elsewhere for a lot less and there are places where they may be a lot nicer even.

My girl wanted their sizzling roasted honey spare ribs (RM26.29, inclusive of GST)…

…but she was not sure if she could finish it. I told her to go ahead and eat all that she could and I could always help her deal with the rest. Well, she must have enjoyed it very much for she actually managed to finish most of it herself so there wasn’t much left for me to finish off in the end.

For one thing, they did not have wedges like before and instead, the ribs were served with this bowl…

…of potato gratin which was fine by us as my girl loved that very much too.

We ordered the macaron salted caramel hazelnut gelato, I think, but the boy came to inform us that it was not available/sold out so we decided to have the macaron tropical papaya gelato (RM11.55 inclusive of GST)…

…and yes, the gelato was very nice – not sweet with just a little hint of papaya in it but the macaron…

…was hard like a cracker when it was first served, right out from the chiller but it was all right after a while.

I asked my girl if she noticed that the very nice and polite, soft-spoken boy was shivering when he was talking to me and she said she did! Oh me oh my!!! It can’t possibly be because I am so big that I look intimidating. See this face! Don’t I look so nice, so kind, so very fatherly? Muahahahahahaha!!!! Maybe it was because he was conversing in English and he was not confident in the language? Well, if that was the case, he shouldn’t have worried as I thought he was very good, very fluent, very proficient – I wouldn’t have done as well if I had to struggle to talk with him in Mandarin.

I did not like the coffee choux semifreddo the last time I was here as the coffee was kind of bitter and the choux pastry outside was kind of hard but my girl seemed rather keen on trying so I ordered the strawberry (RM7.31, inclusive of GST)…

…and we sure were glad we did for it turned out to be really very very nice and we loved it immensely.

The exterior was not hard this time and the strawberry ice cream inside was very nicely done…

…and with the cream on top and the piece of white chocolate and the rose petals, I would say it was a winning combination.

Just when we thought we had it all, the aforementioned boy came again and served us this – their coconut sorbetto…

…He said that the boss (who was not around at the time) had sent them a message and instructed them to serve us this on the house. Good grief!!! The last time, it was a slice of cake and this time, it was this. That was so very nice of him/them but I do feel bad getting freebies – once in a while would be fine but not this often.

I googled to check and found out that  sorbetto is a creamier version of sorbet and sorbet is often confused with Italian ice and often taken to be the same as sherbet. Well, I know what sherbet is and this wasn’t anything like it. My girl said she could taste the coconut water used in the making but to me, it was their own-made coconut ice cream with a sprinkling of toasted grated coconut and crushed peanut and I must say it had an edge over the one sold in tubs (Magnolia) at the supermarkets that I actually quite enjoyed, a lot richer and nicer that that.

Well, we certainly enjoyed the lunch especially the desserts and of course, we would be back again to see what else we can try.
