You can find this place on the Highforest section of 1U- same row as Bakerzin. Lovely little quite place that services breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner. Yes, they have a tea menu. I was there for brunch-lunch so I could not check out the tea menu. And the portions are not pint size - they are pretty hearty as well. Before the pics of food start, let's have a look at the menu and the ambience.
When you are there mid-morning, they will give you 2 menus, the longer one is the Lunch/Dinner menu, and the little one on the right is the breakfast menu. Aiyo- so many choices so tiny my tummy.
The lovely ambience in the restaurants. I especially love the bird cages - though it wont work in my house. Dust and dirt comes to mind.Firstly - we had drinks. Bro and I decided on the same drink of Ice Frosty Lemon Tea. I was thinking it was like the secret recipe one but no- this packed a punch- Zesty without being too sweet. Like Ice lemon tea sorbet.
The top of the drink was a sprig of peppermint- refreshing..........................................At this point the waiter has not chased me away. I was very self conscious as i had several people looking at me. Either i looked ruffled or they have never seen a girl with such a big camera!
Then the dishes arrived, service was pretty fast here you dont have to wait a long time. I had ayam percik with salted egg and ulam. (Note: they dont serve chicken breasts here only thigh but i decided to try any way) and bro had linguine with turkey ham and mushroom in cream sauce. We also ordered the wild mushroom soup. Funnily enough- the soup came last. Should be the otherway around.... but who cares. *Mistake, mistake* we overestimated our stomach and size portion. Very the pao after that..... ^_^
My Ayam percik with Ulam, salted egg, keropok and sauce for the ulam. Under the green veggies, there is actually tau geh. I find the tau geh smells a bit strange but the ulam was nice especially with the sauce. I only ate a bit of the salted egg though i am great fan- not too good for health. The brown stuff on the top is kerisik. And the chook on the right. Sauce was lovely. As usually "chi-chai tummy" i cannot finish this.
Bro's linguine with turkey ham and mushroom sauce. Creamy and nice. He could not finish it as normally at the end this stuff normally taste a bit more heavy.
The soup of wild mushroom. The texture of the mushroom is not like Chilli's or TGIF- this is more grounded. Feels like the one in Fasta Pasta. But still good.I recommend to those who come to this place next time.... to actually either come with a really EMPTY stomach or share. I am planning to try their breakfast options next time and their cakes. One thing, for those who dont know ms read- they are a clothes line for larger size women.
