A little too much…

This was two Saturdays ago when my girl was home for the weekend from her school in the jungle and as always, we went round looking for some place and something nice for lunch. She said she did not want anything too heavy and would like to go for something western.

Well, we do have a lot of fusion and wannabe western cafés in town but I would steer clear of those with squiggles of mayonnaise all over or worse, those with those miserable cheap and not-at-all-nice mini-keropok (prawn crackers) by the side…which, of course, does not leave me all that many around to pick and choose. In the end, we decided to go to our favourite Italian restaurant here.

My girl did not feel like having pizza nor lasagna that day and she and the mum ended up picking the teriyaki chicken chop (RM16.00)…

…that they had had before and liked a lot, and they also asked for the BBQ chicken chop (RM16.00)…

…to share.

We did not expect the chops to be that big and there really was a bit too much for us three to handle so it was quite a struggle to finish all of it, talk about not wanting to eat anything heavy, eh? LOL!!! Had we known that when we were ordering, we would have opted for just one chicken chop and something else like their fried calamari (RM16.00), for instance.

My missus insisted that the teriyaki chicken chop was very much nicer when she had it before but I thought it was all right just that the general consensus was that the BBQ chicken chop with its stronger, slightly spicy gravy, had an edge over it. Yes, we did enjoy both and finished everything including the fries and coleslaw by the side.

We also had this spinach and beef bacon pasta (RM18.00)…

…but we thought it was rather watery…

…and we remember when we had that before, it was a little to the creamy side and we would prefer it that way…but it seemed to have a different name then and was priced differently too.

For dessert, we had their chocolate fondant (also known as molten lava cake) and ice cream (RM8.00)…

…which was very nice indeed except that the “lava” did not flow out all that readily…

…so they probably would have to work on improving that.

All in all, it sure was a delightful lunch. Iced water was on the house and the bill came up to only RM58.00 for the three of us, exclusive of GST.
