There's so much hype going on about a particular white bungalow in Kampung Pandan, could it be over rated? There's nothing like trying it out myself so decided to head to Caffeinees for dinner one fine Friday.
Me and my dinner pardner were the only ones there, around 6.30pm. So, already I was quite surprised by the turnout. And it really does look like i'm in someone's house.
On the interior, there are just a few tables loosely scattered inside the restaurant, which in the first place, falls flat in comparison to the exterior of this white-washed walls cafe.
The waiters there aren't very well-versed in English nor Malay either. After some communication breakdown, we decided to go for one ala carte and a Set Dinner, which at RM 39+/set, does not exactly give you much savings compared to its ala carte prices.
The Mushroom Soup was fine, but the garlic bread a great letdown!
It was SO chewy, it tasted like some leftover from lunchtime. Minor item yes, but major impact on this cafe.
I selected the Seafood Olio as my main, but it looked nothing like how an Aglio Olio should look like!
Looks like pasta in green curry.
My only consolation - it wasn't salty (it wasn't tasty either) and it didn't have a very pungent basil taste which i dislike.
Yin's beef burger which looks like some cheap-o sesame bun bought from the local
roti-man on a motorbike.
According to Yin, the best part of this meal was the buttered-then-grilled buns. The rest was easily forgettable.
For dessert, we went for the Tiramisu coz it had a thumbs up on the menu. It was just ok, but too small, definitely not worth the RM 12 they normally charge.
Please don't hate me when i say i don't think i'll return to this place ever again. Well, at least not for dinner, and especially not for their Seafood Olio! For some reason, seeing the photo of this dish makes me wana *puke leh.
Or perhaps i am wrong, and this place is actually good for 'Drinks Only' and for watching the 'll'-s (leng lois)?
You tell me. I only had Iced Lemon Tea that day.
