apparently 888 was a brand of coffee very very long time ago (according to my dad)
the deco is very nice. lots of white and wood elements. nostalgic yet has a modern touch to to it.
service was excellent. the staff were friendly and very efficient.now about the food and drinks. their menu has a mix of malaysian, nyonya and western food. also light snacks, ideal for breakfast for a quick bite in the evening.
this is the drink that i ordered. rose tea (cold) (RM 3.00) it was very fragrant and soothing BUT......it caused my hours of my beauty sleep. one night before my mock OSCE some more.
Lime juice (rm 3.90) tasted abit weird, i think its not 100% from lime juice.
our starter. inchi kabin chicken (rm7.90) i expected something aromatic and flavourful. but i was soooo disappointed with this dish :( the chicken was meaty but it was too dry and not well marinated. so much so that it tasted bland.
the nyona platter (rm12.90) top marks for presentation. served with prawn sambal, inchi kabin chicken, sotong curry.it was so-so only. sambal not bad, had two prawns in it, but i'd prefer it to be spicier. sotong gravy was a bit watery.ahh, this dish saved the day, easily the star of the day. nyonya spicy fried rice (rm 8.80)served with a piece of chicken wing, which was very delicious-sweet and spicy and bursting with flavour. rice was good, spicy enough for me and very fragrant.
last but not least, the seafood aglio olio(rm 15.90) tossed in olive oil, lots of garlic and herbs and a hint of chili. im just guessing the ingredients cos it tastes awfully like the one i always cook (except that i never tried using seafood-hmmm, shall try next time round) it was good. 
time for dessert. this is the star of the day (dessert category:P). caramel custard (rm4.90) smooth silky and oh so rich. caramel sauce is simply divine. and i found a recipe in Flavours magazine. you wouldn't wanna know how many eggs and how much milk they use. but that won't stop me from trying it ;p
and finally one of my all time favourite, sago pudding. (rm3.90) a huge mass of sago (i love looking at them, so pearly and all) in coconut milk and gula melaka. nice :)
overall, its a nice place to dine, but prices are a little steep. the meal for four of us (everything that i reviewed) came up to about 68 ringgit.
and i came up with a new review system that is more comprehensive, after looking at how some other food bloggers do their review
food and beverage: 7/10
price: 6/10
environment: 9/10
service: 9/10
overall: 7/10
and then we went around kota damansara which is developing into a "happening" place with lots of makan makan places and BOUTIQUES. and there was one in particular, glitter venus..where my sister found her DREAM DRESS,.the owner is a young, pretty and friendly lady who is so good in doing business. i shall do a proper "boutique review" the next time i visit this shop again.
but just a sneak preview of the pink dress..(on me. muahahha) and it only costs about 80 ringgit.
**and to all who sent comforting messages, thank you. i appreciate it loads. i know bee yuen is happy in bunny heaven**
