Demona: Free flow of grained and white bread slices, dipped with herbs seasoned olive oil and vinegar. A second round of eating bread would have made too full for our main meals already.
Demona: The birthday boy ordered a cup of cappucino. I assumed that the drink was up to standard as he did not complain about it and the aroma of the coffee was pretty strong when it came to our table.
Demona: We ordered a plate of mushrooms, stuffed with a mixture of blended tuna, cheese and herbs as starters. Tomato paste was added on the tip of each stuffed mushroom. There was a total of 8 mushrooms on the plate. The portion was only enough for 2 or 3 persons only. RM 20.90.
Demona: The stuffed mushrooms did taste good. The stuffed tuna, cheese and herb bits were very aromatic and flavourful, but they ended up overpowering the taste of the mushrooms. I think that we could easily make this dish and for RM 20, we would probably get twice or three times more than just 8 mushrooms.
Demona: Joe ordered the lasagna (RM 24.90), since there was a chef's recommendation tag next to the dish's label. The portion was huge alright. You would definitely need 2 or 3 persons to finish this up without causing possible bursting of zippers.
Demona: As great as it was expressed on the menu, we found the lasagna disappointing. The lasagna was too dry, and the top melted cheese layer just came off completely on its own instead of gluing on to the pastry layer. There was not enough of tomato saucy paste and cheese in between the lasagna layers causing the pastry and minced meat ingredients to crumble whenever we plunged the fork in.
I had to scrape off the tomato paste at the corners of the plate to mix into my lasagna so it would be less dry when I ate it. Yet, it was not enough for the whole portion. Besides that, the tomato paste was also way too salty. Joe realised it as well. I will not order this dish anymore in future. The recommendation tag made me doubtful of its credibility as well.
Verdict: The bill came up to RM 59.30, including all the ++ tax. Slightly expensive alright, but it was expected if you have intentions of dining in such places.
I even asked a waiter, who turned out to be non-English speaking, whether if there was any complimentary cakes and birthday songs for Joe. He just nodded and nodded and nodded, thus I was excited thinking there would be.
Until the bill came, until we were ushered out of the restaurant, my cake and my song never came. Looks like I will only get to embarrass Joe next year. I'll be smarter this time... TGI Fridays.
