went there for my 21ST birthday surprise dinner.
gorgeous array of desserts, which is alexis's specialty...
yep, their specialty is the cakes. which i have to admit looks sooo good and tempting and taste just as nice too. the tiramisu is a must try. its a combination of flavours and texture that goes together so well.the nutty topping, the creamy filling..just heavenly :) and the nutty chocolate meringue is pretty good as well. light and chocolaty and topped generously with pecans and macadamia nuts.

the main dishes..
chicken pot pie (rm20)this is my dish. the pie was not bad. the filling was creamy and packed with chicken and mushroom. i recently found a recipe for this dish and I'm going to try it out soon :) fries...are normal. and it is served with some assorted vege, which was kinda sour (must be the drizzling or the sauce) but i ate everything up anyway..
the nyonya mee siam was quite ordinary.
nasi kerabu was quite nice, i loved the sambal.
spaghetti meatball was OK as well.
and Vietnamese noodles..well, i don't really fancy beef nor Vietnamese food..but it was allright.
can't really comment on these dishes cos i only had a sample of it..

Ok, one thing i must mention about this place is the POOR SERVICE. Our waitress was so sulky and did not once smile or attempt to be courteous. when we asked for plain water, she haughtily said that they don't serve plain water and that we must order the ridiculously priced MINERAL water from the menu. and later during the meal, Boris asked another waiter for water and the brought it for us...and we were totally speechless...
and when Kajen asked if there is a dessert menu, she replied (rather rudely) that they did not have and we were to look at the counter. so we went..and when kajen tried to take a photo of the pretty cakes, she stopped us again. i mean, its not like we were going to send the photos to other bakeries so that they can copy or anything. i mean...its Ok if you don't allow photo taking but the way she stopped us is as if we were committing some crime or something. sheeessh.
perhaps they were short staffed or maybe she was having a bad day.i'm giving them the benefit of the doubt..but that is not the way to treat your customers. why are we paying the 10% service tax for again?
hmmm...well, this part spoilt the whole dinner a little bit. but luckily the company was great (the most important!!) and the food was good, the dessert excellent. we were even discussing about why the service was so bad. for a more humorous approach, click here to read kajen's blog. LOL. about the spy and a sabotage mission! after all, it was my birthday celebration so can't get too grumpy about it, can i? but i would think twice about going there again though. maybe just for the dessert :P
food&drinks: 7/10 (dessert deserves a 8.5/10 though)
price: 5/10
ambiance: 7/10
service:3/10
overall: 6/10
