It was a Saturday night. We both so called losers were still at office, doing work, as usual. Hungry, I suggested The Teapot Cafe to my work-late buddy Mar, for dinner. Passed across it many times since I was young as it is situated in my 'kampung'. Luckily, she agreed. Hence, we made our way to 169 Jln SS2/24 PJ to try out this restaurant. Was the 1st time 4 both of us. Trying our luck, I didn't know whether it was closed...But TADAAAA!
It was OPENED. Ok. So we entered, browsed through the recipe book, served by handsome guys in green, we chose these desserts first...
ECLAIR (MYR 2.00) & SCONES (MYR 3.90)
NEXT, the meal that Mar chose was...
TRADITIONAL MEE BANDUNG (MYR 9.90)
I had...
ROSEMARY THYME CHICKEN(MYR 20.50)According to a handsome waiter (must be an SPM leaver waiting for results/high school student doing part-time coz he looked so young), this restaurant exists since 15 years ago. And still standing strong.
I don't think it is surprising because looking at the:
1) warm Cottage-like ambiance,
2) cosy chairs to rest upon,
3) good & fast service by the handsome but shy waiters (that is why they were not in the pictures...go figure :P)
4) reasonably priced food
5) superbly delicious food (thinking of trying to cook the Rosemary Thyme Chicken at home)
6) modest variety of western + traditional food
7) It's HALAL!!!
HOWEVER, the DRAWBACKS for this restaurant include:
1) The recipe book is so old. (It's time to get a new one!)
2) Food runs out fast. (By the time we got there-around 8 ish pm, most of the recipes were already finished).
3) Limited opening time:
Mon: 12pm - 6.30pm (no dinner)
Sun & Public holidays: Closed
Other days: 12.00 pm to 10.00 pm
Hence, verdict given by Work-Late Buddies are...I see smiling faces!!!
7.5/10 (An A - ) !!!
We each managed to put a smiling face while working throughout the lonely, cold night at the office. :)
