This friendly cafe serves simple Western fare in a relaxed setting; nothing special, but sufficient for a pleasant, not-too-pricey meal.
Heading here for a light nibble after having dinner next door at Simply Mel's, we were in a purely pumpkin state of mind, so this creamy, flavorsome pumpkin soup seemed like a safe choice, costing below 8 ringgit (!).
The pumpkin salad was hearty enough, with plump prawns to provide protein.
House-pouring Chardonnay. Wine is offered by both the bottle & the glass.
Everyone leaves this place long before their cars & chariots turn into pumpkins; the restaurant closes slightly before 10pm on most weeknights.

Chariots may turn into pumpkins, but cars, I believe, turn into old cucumbers and lobak merah lah. :P
ReplyDeleteYou headed here for Dinner round 2? :)
ReplyDeletefood is generally quite good and affordable here. love the salads and soups here.
ReplyDeleteKenny: pumpkin, old cucumber & carrots! Sounds like the start of the makings of a mighty fine soup! Now if only we could find a prince-turned-into-frog, we could make frog leg & veggie broth! :D
ReplyDeleteJ: heheh, gluttony is the most enjoyable of the seven deadly sins! =)
Missyblurkit: I hope to try their main courses someday too! The lamb and beef dishes sound like they'd be pretty decent :D
Pumpkin lovers like us would love this place. haha!
ReplyDeletePumpkin - one of my favourite ingredients. Glad to see it featured here.
ReplyDeleteMichelle: heheh, and the pumpkin haters should stay away! :D
ReplyDeleteThe Yum List: yeah, it's nice that pumpkin is so readily available at so many restaurants now! =)
Frog legs should be stir-fried with ginger and Chinese wine lah, Canto-style! Best! :D
ReplyDeletekenny: the francophile in me believes that frog legs should be fried with garlic and lemon juice lah! better!!! :D
ReplyDeletei haven't venture into that area yet. Looks like there's quite a few places to eat at Bangsar South.
ReplyDeleteeiling: yeah, so far the best outlet in bangsar south is still simply mel's for malaccan food! :D
