apple crumble
RM 7.00
Having tasted the real way apple crumble should be when I was in England, I was initially skeptical that I would get a close taste. The menu offered Apple crumble with whipped cream, but was changed to vanilla ice cream, much to my delight. The crumble did not disappoint. And although they did not the granny smith's apple nor the bramley's, the apple used was nonetheless tangy enough to bring that familiar taste. Would I go back again? I think so! This time I might ask them for custard!

Pork Knuckle
For a pork lover like Hubby is, this was like heaven on earth. German fare, cooked to almost perfection. Skin was crispy, meat was tender and juicy. The complements of saurkraut, mashed potato and coleslaw made a perfect balance to the sauce. Would love to go back there again.

Rosemary Lamb Chop
You can see the fresh rosemary and taste the subtle blend of spices in the sauce. The lamb could have been a tad more tender, but overall it was a good dish. Created by the chefs, I would consider going back to have another... if I were in town!

prawns batter and mayo
It was the highlight of the evening's wedding dinner. I love the tangy mayonnaise coating, the sprinkling of sesame seeds on the deep fried batter, the texture of the succulent prawns as you sink your teeth deep into each morsel. I just about managed to hold back eating more than my share. Hmmmmmm

Yam Ring
It was part of a set meal (choice of 4). After a long wait (because there were 22 of us and it appeared that the chef didnt have any real system of cooking and serving) the soup came. Then the main meal. Surprisingly tasty, I enjoyed my meal mainly because the ingredients were fresh. I have bitten into yam rings before and instantly knowing that the ring was not fresh. Not a nice taste! This one was nice. (Perhaps that's why it was a long wait?) The meal concluded with fruit. I wished for more vegetables though. Conclusion? The ambiance is nice, the company was great, but I am not sure I would rush to go back again.

Mamak Mee
It was part of a set meal - comes together with a tea or a coffee, hot or cold. Standard was somewhat variable as I have tried this dish twice in three weeks. Curry powder is sufficient but overall it is a little greasy and not very exciting. In terms of value for money, I suppose it is there - there are not many places which will serve you a meal and drink at this price. Other set meals include chicken burger and rice dishes, all for less than RM10.

Laksa Melaka
I love the way they serve the laksa here. The ingredients all seem so fresh and in sufficient amounts, bringing a delightful balance which just makes the palate cry out for more after each mouthful. I never fail to finish the soup!

Shredded Chicken in Koay Teow Soup
I grew up loving this dish. Imagine my delight when after so many years I was able to taste this dish again. It was similar to Ratatouille in that I was brought back to my childhood memories when I tasted this. I went back the next day to order the same thing again!

Vietnamese Coffee
It was a new experience for me to have coffee served like this. The strong brew drips from a pot that sits on top of a cup. You then add milk and sugar to taste. I gather the original is always sweet but I dont normally add sugar to mine and so took it only with milk. it takes a good few minutes for the water to drip down. The end result is an extremely pleasant cuppa, perfect to end a meal with.

Curried Crabs
Finger-licking stuff. It was not soupy curry. It was dry fried curry. Fresh crabs too - still alive ones specially picked out by our host. Worth making the trip there.
