Several moons ago (by that, i mean many many months ago), hubby brought me to 'Ben's'. Not the usual posh, dim-lit 'Ben's' that i know in KLCC and Pavi, but this one's much more cheery, with a vintage old-school feel once you stepped in...and with a name like 'Ben's General Food Store', which i found to be real artsy and authentic!
Even the menu's in the exact same design and font as
Ben's.
Being a repeat customer, hubby knew exactly what to order - starting off with their signature
Nutella Milkshake. With all the good stuff like nutella, hazelnuts, milk and vanilla ice cream thrown in and blended together, who can ever say 'NAAAAAH..' to that eh?!
One thing i love about this place is its fire-wood pizzas, reasonably priced and good enough a serving for two! Just pay RM 8 more than what you pay for a milkshake...lol.
I chose the Salsiccia, which is pizza with tomatoes, mozzarella, parmesan and spicy lamb sausages!! Seriously, we took the longest time deciding on our pizza coz they all seemed sooo gooood! Well, maybe not the one they call 'Breakfast Pizza' coz i'd prefer my Western Breakfast served on a plate rather than a piece of flattened dough.
Finally, we wanted some greens to go with our meal and opted for the infamous Caesar Salad. Safe choice maybe, but hey, at least their version has something called gruyere crisps, which i was curious to try.
This is the store's cafeteria-like setting.
So cool eh? Mostly came in pairs or small groups of four, so sitting in this sort of arrangement was indeed refreshing. Plus, with your stranger neighbour so close by, you can literally count the pizza crumbs on his plate.
Don't forget to ask for your free drink of plain water. Such a resourceful and hygienic way of serving it. *applause*
Caesar :
"I may be served small but i come freshly plucked from the garden with just the right amount of dressing on me. I guarantee you will fall in love with my sidekicks, Ms Eggy, Mr Beef Bacon and Master Gruyere"
Nutella : "
I may look bland and my color, pale...but just one sip, and you'll start doing flips"
Salsiccia :
"They say less is more...Take their word for it coz I'm here to prove it!"
And i'm here to show it!
Eating your gruyere crisp is like eating a piece of honeycomb cheese. We had to fight to see who gets the last piece of gruyere!
erm, those who know me well would know why i just had to take a photo of this upside down pizza base...singing
"i'm loving it"...
And my last piece of photo is the salad counter....perhaps when i drop by Bangsar Village next time, i'll drop by and choose my fave salad to take away... :P
A highly recommended place to try out, guys! Just hope you get more hits than misses when you dine here next. ^>^
