Renz Hazel Coffee & Grill

Gaining momentum as of late, this new kid on the block establishment has been making rounds in the local social media scene. But it might be a bit tricky to spot them, as it is well ‘hidden’ within Taman Ria 6 (it’s on the single row of shops within the housing area, next to a bakery called Najwa Bakery & the Roswad shops). And don’t be alarmed (or taken aback like me) when you arrived at a really small place (really, it’s tiny by any café standard) with no clear signage on top of the shop (because that is what you’ll eventually encounter of course). Even though the seating were pretty limited, the décor however was very interesting for me. It’s pretty clear that the owner is a huge fan of the rock & roll era, with numerous drawings and memorabilia from famous artists such as Elvis Presley, James Dean and Marilyn Monroe.

But enough with the décor and lets dive straight to the good stuff. The eatery mostly provides western food, with a couple of local dishes thrown in for good measures. I’ve heard a bit about their Grilled Chicken Chop so I tried that one. It’s surprisingly delicious and comes in an even ‘delicious’ price (around RM8.90 if I’m not mistaken) but with a slightly smaller portion in my opinion. My partner was not in the mood for anything western and opted for their Chicken Fried Rice (or something). Despite the plain look, my partner gave two thumbs up for the taste. We also got a bit greedy and decided to share a plate of Beef Spaghetti Bolognese and as you can see in the pic below, it's literally flooded with yummy sauce.

Updated on 16/02/2017 - On our recent visit, their dishes has shown some improvements especially in terms of portion (my Fish & Chips below as evidence). Kudos to them!
