yummy crab cakes (RM20.80)
Working in Shah Alam often means limited choices for dinner, as most of the eateries seem to cater instead for lunch. Luckily there's this place, well hidden in an industrial area that offers good restaurant food.
lovely caesar salad with fluffy parmesan cheese
We first discovered this place in 2006 and that blog post sparked off an interest for this eatery, that it was blogged to death. Suprisingly, it has survived through the times and recent visits to there confirmed it still serves generally good food.
squid ink pasta with seafood
Our recent visit was very promising as we simply loved their Caesar salad - crunchy romaine lettuce topped with feather light grated parmesan cheese and topped with beef bacon. Simply yummy, was how Splashie Boy described it. Even my squid ink pasta with seafood that came with a tinge of spiciness was very good.
grilled rib-eye steak
However last night when we dined there, it was a different ball game for us since we sampled other items. My braised lamb shank (RM32.80) was good but not exceptionally fantastic. It was fork tender but the sauce seemed to lack much spices and oomph. Even the grilled rib eye was a dissapointment as it was not tender but on a slightly chewier side. Luckily their home made crab cakes saved the day but we did leave feeling a little unsatisfied with the meal. Am not sure whether it was just our "spoilt" tastebuds or we had just picked the wrong items. Nevertheless, I reckon we should have stuck with the safer choices - pasta and salad as that never seems to dissapoint.

ooh, i think it was your review that led me here a few years ago. i've forgotten what we ate, but i recall it was a pleasant dinner and service was very friendly. but i've never been back, partly cos the location is kinda inconvenient. honestly, i wouldn't have thought it was still around, but it's nice to hear it! =)
ReplyDeleteWah the place still exist ka? I still remember having my lunch, dinner, and tea over there when we were doing shoots at my old job. To be honest, I've always love their sandwiches - and I've always ordered them when given a choice. Feels like forever since.
ReplyDeleteOh dear. Have been meaning to try out this place for (really) the longest time but kept forgetting! Good to hear that it's still around and serving good food tho. :)
ReplyDelete(It's a nice surprise for a restaurant to maintain its standards over such a long period!)
