It was raining like mad and we were both dripping and freezing. How good that will be if we could settle down and have a bowl of hot soupy things!!. It was the inexplicable of the environment that caught our attention. Our stomach is growling, hence, we decided to stop by there.
This restaurant was newly setup as this place used to be called another restaurant. Located at the junction of the Upper Penang Rd, just 2shops after the Segafredo, at 1st, we found this place quite eerie as it was indeed very dark and inside. The walls were encircled by wooden roots that crawled from within. As you enter, there’s a feeling like, ‘Oh, my God, are we at the wrong place? Are we in the forest??”…. The ceiling and the wall was surrounded by the roots.
The most weird was we brought to our table and we were seated on the cocoon-alike chair. *hahhahhaha* sorry..din manage to take any photo. Sorry..the quality of the photo was very bad.. I know.... Sigh...Take a good look at the price. Upon entered, I was really thought that food could be a bit pricey. But when take a further look; it was not really costly at all.
Let me introduce one by one.
And here comes our appetizers’, we were served a piece of mix grain bun and another piece of white bun. The special of this bun was, we were given 3types of butter. We have this plain-o-butter, the garlic butter and the spinach butter. I like the Garlic butter as it was unlike from what we usually have in the restaurant.
Next to come was my Minestrone. To me, this soup was so alike like my favorite Borsch soup. Just that this soup was not really sour enough as it looks. With bits of vege such as the carrot, potato and some onion, this soup is about RM6+.
We were suggested this dish of the house, the BBQ Pork Ribs. Big chunk of the pork rib was marinated with the special home made BBQ sauce and barbequed for good.
Oops….sorry…the quality of the picture was really awful… I knew….Now here you goes….after a few snaps of photos… *grin*
Served with a baked potato with tartar sauce and a piece of grilled corn, this dish indeed was perfecto. How I wish they are more generous on the sauce as I found the saucy ribs was not saucy enough.A set of ribs is about RM33+.
We were afraid that the ribs will be very big portion as we experienced before, hence we opt for another lighter meal, where we have this Teriyaki Chicken Burger. Large piece of chicken was grilled with Teriyaki sauce and top up with some lettuce, tomatoes and onion rings. Guess what’s the side dish?? We have some fried potatoes and some fresh cut fruit. I did not guess too but it was quite a fresh idea for sidelines… fruits serving with burgers….*hahhahahha*
Again, this burger was not saucy enough for me as well…
When asked for recommendation for desserts, the waitress had suggested the Tiramisu, the home made cake. But I want something lighter…(yeahhh….tonight’s theme is LIGHT) hence, I called for Orange Sorbet. This Sorbet was special in a way that the Sorbet was served in the orange skin. Somehow, they spooned out the orange flesh and puffed back the Sorbet into the skin for decoration purpose. It was sooooo smooth...and I can’t barely taste any cubes of ice as well. Definitely a YES for RM8+ only…
Overall, the place is a COOL place. Just imagine…fine dining in the creepy forest and sitting on the cocoon alike chair…who would have dreamt of that??Anyway, how I wish they put more sauce on the dish, then it will be double YES YES for this place!!
