I ordered some garlic bread to start while I waited for my friends to arrive. To my disappointment the slices of baguette they served were cold and stale, and not "golden brown and crunchy" as described in the menu.
I saw Papper Salt Squids on the menu and ask a waitress if they were freshly made. Unfortunately I was told they were not. Seems to me they would have a hard time keeping them "crispy and crunchy" so I decided to give them a miss.
The lack of any soft furnishing on the walls make the place reverberate like a school canteen when the place filled up at around 12:30. I measured an average of 93 decibels from the centre of the restaurant.
The first dish to arrive was the Black Pepper Lamb Chop (RM12.90).
The portion was quite large for the price. You get two large lamb chops, along with some mashed potato, some lettuce and some tomato. The lamb was well-marinated and the sauce was flavourful without the black pepper being over-powering.
Next up was the Honey Oat Chicken (RM10.90).
The deep-fried oat coating has a nice crunch to it, but I found that the honey drizzled over it had made it a little too sweet for my taste.
The Barbeque Chicken (RM7.90) came next.
This is a well-grilled piece of chicken with a generous amount of barbeque sauce poured over it. The flavour of the sauce compliments the flavour of the chicken very well indeed.
The popularity of this place during lunchtime means that if you arrive around 12:30pm you may have to wait for a table. Service is surprisingly quick, as our meals were served within 15 minutes, even with a full house. Coupled with the modest prices, this place definitely deserves its popularity. Worth going back.
