Yes! May&FJ visited one of the restaurants we so happen to pass by while on our way to
school yesterday. We decided to go "undercover" and not announce our reasons
for this uncalled visit. That way we can assess them fairly without them trying
to put up a wayang.
First impressions: very
European styled and the atmosphere is rather calming and relaxing. When we
tried to take a photo of the menu to showcase what they have to offer, we got a
very friendly reminder that photos are not allowed. Okay, so photo of the menu
is not allowed?!?? (sense the sarcasm?) But okay, one shall not be biased.
Since we have visited this place before, we will include photos we took with
the Iphone previously.
The picture below (taken from their FB page) is the menu they offer.
What we had: All day smoke
salmon breakfast with srambled eggs. Price: $9
A closer shot:
Advantages:
- Generous portions of scrambled eggs + smoked salmon (value for money~~~)
- Nice ambiance (if you're sitting inside)
- Wide variety of Italian food: soups, salads, lasagna pizza, pasta, all day breakfast, desserts, cupcakes and more all at reasonable prices
- Complimentary water is given
- No service charge (and food is served to you)
- Their pizza slices looks real good too! (but it's a give and take, the slice ain't that big and it cost about $7-$8)
Disadvantage:
- Birds flying everywhere, can't really eat in peace (we took the outdoor seat)
- Service staff are not prompt in clearing the plates (resulting in birds)
- Mind you, we cleared the table ourselves; we took an empty coffee cup into the restaurant to the waitress and then after, they started noticing that there are plates to be cleared outside.
- Bitter vegetables (but healthy MAX, so it depends on your preferences)
- Bread was hard, not crispy
Things to note:
- Go during off-peak hours (it's kinda packed and the seats are limited)
- Breakfast set (the one that includes a cup of coffee / tea of your choice) offer ends at 1030am.
Overall, we would say that the atmosphere is good and the smoked salmon ain't that salty! Give it a go! Try to take the inside seats!
