To be honest, I don't know if this place is still around since this is
exactly over a year ago. But it was memorable for a couple of reasons. After skipping lunch, I headed back home early. It's great to start at 7am. It's not so great when you get home too early for dinner, too late for dinner. It's worse when nobody can entertain you because they are either still at work or fast asleep.
So that day, my lucky stars were probably aligned right because somebody was actually free to accompany me eat. Oh yea, it was Valentine's day too. He
was is was is was is somebody special
la. Decided to try this
place because other shops were still on their lunch break.
They sell bread and pastries with a dedicated section just for those but also has a restaurant serving Western food.
Royal passion fruit tea (RM 12.90) and iced mixed berry tea (RM9.90). Both of which were very sweet with the former tasting almost like cough syrup, the latter is a high class version of Ribena. Not that I mind either.
They had a set menu which came with a soup, salad and choice of main, all for RM 26.90.
The tomato soup was light on flavor but slightly thick. Possibly my first time, it wasn't such a bad start to lunch. Or dinner. At 5pm.
Their salad is my version: lazy. Chop up some lettuce and cabbage and tomato, throw into a bowl, drizzle with some dressing. Straightforward, hard to get wrong.
Amatriciana pasta - fresh tomato, pork bacon and chilli flakes in white wine reduction.
An odd combination that oddly works. Perhaps bacon is the key to all good food.
I almost wanted to say that bacon could end world hunger, world wars but forgot a large population of the world can't consume this due to religious reason (which sometimes initiated the hunger,wars).
Cheesy baked mussels. Sadly, the shellfish was overcooked (something hard to avoid when baking) turning them slightly rubbery. The cheese gravy was just passable.
Double roast pork surprise - roast pork shoulder loin strips, streaky bacon, cherry tomato in plum tomato sauce with three cheese, basil and oregano.
I found the pork strips were a little too big for the pizza. Taste wise, overall it was not too heavy on the palette. Certainly different from the usual fare. Kudos for the thin pizza dough.
While my opinion of this place was it could do better, my
date company friend food sponsor someone I had lunch with thought of it otherwise.
say, do you remember what we did valentine of last year?
no.
ok.jpg ....
(few hours later)... really? you don't remember? =(
no. all i know is i got conned by some Western food place. not nice.
Well, at least he remembered ^_^ And in a way, that is all that matters.
He probably remembers because he didn't enjoy the food at all and had to pay for it. fhl.
