First impression just went out of the
window (especially for my parents) when we went there ourselves one evening. It
was unfortunate that we were there during a punk+skinhead (very loud and
unrecognizable shouts… err, singing)
gathering so you could imagined the shock that my 50ish parents felt while
entering the place. Personally I’m not that bothered because I do know that the
place has a somewhat open mike concept (and a supposedly cultural dance
performance every Saturday) but really, it is a bit inappropriate and I was
somewhat embarrassed because I was the one that had suggested the place. The eatery
was no doubt unique (there’s an actual old house within the said premise, where
you could chill out with friends and family in a more laid back setting, other
than the usual dining hall outside) but that pretty much got overshadowed by
the latter event. I guess I can understand the business side of the situation
but I also think that they do need to be more selective as well. I mean, most
of the people patronizing the eatery were families with little kids.
Another thing that people seemed to comment
about the place (unanimously no less) was the pricing of the food, which was on
the expensive side. I personally don’t mind high prices just as long as the
food was worth it. Unfortunately the food was just so-so at best. We’d ordered
their Ikan Masak 3 Rasa (which was a bit overpowering with… something), Deep
Fried Prawns (the flour tasted weird though) and their Kangkung Masak Belacan
(which resembles the fish in taste for some reason – same wok maybe?) to go
with our rice. But don’t just take my word for it. You guys can try them for
yourselves at their eatery at Jalan Masjid (right next to a Michelin tyre store
and a car wash).
