Coffee Ritual

This is my second time eating here and still it's one of my favourite places to hang out! :)
I don't really like coffee but dad does, so he really enjoys their lattes.
And the food is SO yummy!!! (three exclamation marks to prove my point)

Here's what we ate:
*
Grumpy Old Man ordered the Nasi Lemak with Fried Chicken set for RM10.60
I curi-curi makan his chicken and it was very juicy. One big chicken drumstick somemore.
Definitely value for money.

I give this 8/10 munchies!

Ivy ordered the Fried Chicken Rice set (RM11.60)
(Don't know why my family so siao for fried chicken today..)
The chicken was a bit too crispy, I felt..and it was chopped up!
I like my drumsticks round and tender and dripping with oil! Haha!
Plus, there was no gravy, apart from the Thai chilli sauce so everything felt very dry.

Overall, I'll give it 4/10 munchies.

I ordered the Cajun Grilled Chicken set with butter rice (RM15.80)
Very very delicious! I usually tend not to order food with the word Cajun, Spiced or Sweet and Sour in it, but the Grumpy Old Man insisted that it's VERY good, so I decided to try it.

Besides, I was already taking too long to order and I felt bad for making the waitress wait. :P

But I agree that it is a worthy recipe and the chicken was so tender!
Don't really know what Cajun actually tastes like, the sauce seemed similar to brown sauce, though I really liked the flavour.

Grumpy Old Man kept saying, "Nice hor! See I told you!"
Yes yes, it's very nice.
:)
9/10 munchies for this set.

So tender and juicy!

Madam Cheong Hei was planning to order dessert and eat off our main course. As usual. Lol!
She asked for the Affogato (RM7), which is ice cream with a shot of bitter espresso.
Her favourite ever since she tried it at Dome.
It's definitely one of my favourite desserts now, I so enjoy the bitter and the sweet combined.

And Coffee Ritual uses quality Haagen Daaz or Berkeley Farms ice cream.

You can choose. :)
This deserves 8/10 munchies.

Also, I decided to add-on a plain crepe with Berkeley's Ice Cream for RM7 because I was craving for a sweet crepe. This is the MOST SATISFYING DESSERT in the world!
Coffee Ritual serves it with whipped cream which goes really well with the cold ice cream and the warmness of the crepe. I love the crepes here because they are firm and thick.

I don't like crispy crepes because there is no point there, no point at all.

This deserves 10/10 munchies!

And G.O.M. upgraded his honey tea (which comes with all the sets, btw) to a Latte for RM2.

He said he really enjoyed the smooth-ness of the coffee, and that you can taste the quality of the coffee beans used. He gives this 8/10 grumpy points!
I give it 10/10 munchies for presentation because it looks so cute! :P

The bill came up to only RM60.05 plus 10% service charge for the four of us. This is very affordable, no? :)

I would definitely bring my peanut boy here next time! He's got a sweeter tooth than me.

And I will bring my yam cha gang as well! :D

horrible experience there...

- rib eye beef was the toughest i've eaten. i gave up after 2 bites. i called the boss to try and cut it himself. even he admitted it was tough.

- i took one spoon of a chocolate cake when my daughter stopped me... bug in the cake!! cake was part of a set meal. when the bill came, they charged us for the full set meal, saying that the cake was a free addition to the set meal (??!!) and so there will be no reduction in the price.

- unfortunately this all happened on my birthday. my wife and daughter wanted to treat me to a nice meal... thats the last time i will step into their premises.
