Pleasant and delightful…

I was planning to come here that night to check this place…

…out but we ended some place else for a dinner that was not all that great plus I thought it was rather expensive.

Well, if it is of any interest to anybody, this place has opened another outlet…

…here to the right, just two doors away.

Back to the café that we went to, it really is a very nice place…

…with an open kitchen concept…

…so one would be able to see the hive of activity inside – I did spot two or three very young and handsome chefs and a couple of helpers, all caught up with their work the whole time we were there.

No, I would not say it is one of those classy, fine dining (and expensive) restaurants – I would categorise it as some kind of family restaurant, a pleasant and delightful place to bring the whole family to for a nice and inexpensive dinner. If I am not wrong, it opens from 3.00 p.m. onwards so dropping by here for lunch is out of the question.

Having said that, I wish they had a cabinet with sliding doors instead of the open one right below the kitchen window – with all the plates, bottles of sauces (right)…

…and everything else dumped inside, all exposed…or maybe they can move it some place else and yes, they should put those boxes away too…for I do feel all those kind of spoil what would have been a very nice place.

Service was excellent with all the young eager beavers, all ready to please but I spoke Mandarin to them the whole time so I am not too sure if they are conversant in English or not. Maybe I will try next time. They had these lovely cakes…

…on display in their cake counter but I didn’t have any that evening.

My girl had the Hainan chicken chop (RM7.90)…

…and yes, it was very nice. My girl did let me try a bit of the chicken and I thought it was very good. The only time I had this before was the unbelievably cheap one in Penang but I hear the place has closed down, no longer there. I wouldn’t mind ordering this for myself the next time we drop by here but I probably would be torn between that and the grilled chicken chop with mushroom sauce (RM7.90)…

…that my missus had and I did try a bit of it as well and that too was very good.

Oooopsss!!! Gotta get rid of the plate now…

…I’m afraid!

I had their spaghetti chili beef (RM8.90)…

…which I thought was all right, not something I would be rushing back for more but it was o.k. I think those were strips of beef bacon, not fresh beef, and despite the name, I could not detect any chili in it. They probably would have to be a lot more generous with the chili powder.

I did not want anything too heavy as I also ordered their chicken quiche (5 for RM9.90)…

…that a friend on Facebook said was very nice. To me, I thought that indeed, they were nice but I would not say they were anything spectacular. I liked how they served them like this…

…though – on a wooden paddle. That sure would come in handy if anyone is in for a spanking. Ouch! Ouch! Muahahahahahaha!!!!

I did see somebody else having their baked cheese mussels and they were served like that too. They looked pretty good so I probably would order those to try next time…and hopefully, they would have the cheese croquettas that were on their menu but were not available that night.

Sky juice was 50 sen a glass, 100 Plus was RM3.50 and iced lemon lime with plum was RM5.00, bringing the total to RM43.60 – no GST. I thought that was really cheap but incidentally, except for the quiche, those were promotional prices so I would not know what everything would cost when they are not on promotion.

All in all, we liked the place, the people, the food…and the prices so you can expect to see us back there again.
