Lunch @ Charlie Brown Cafe II

Another lunch time get away at Charlie Brown Cafe. Today I was joined by SMY and ZMN. Due to some miss communication,  ZMN was told that the dining place is called "Peanuts" instead. Anyway, she made it to Charlie Brown since the direction was right.

This time around, snoopy chocolate is not available, so I had black tea instead. No fuss here, since one have to add sugar and cream at one's discretion and taste. We ordered prawn quiche, cheese & ham toast and pizza.

The service this time around is much to be desired. The waitress hardly smile and in fact she is putting on a really "unfriendly face". Not a small curve line appears on her lips! No apologies extended to us upon realizing that she forget to gave us what I call when I am about to lose my head "the eating utensils!", i.e. fork & knife (or spoon as the case may be). We even have to ask for the serviette paper. So much for a cartoon's inspired place.

Now the quiche. The quiche is a tad too dry with over cooked harden pastry. And I made myself believe that there were some prawns in it. The cheese & ham toast is tasty with its rich cheesy melt. No complain here. I give a 6 or 7. And the pizza, well the supermarket frozen pizza tastes better. 

I am very disappointed with the service and food this time around. It is suppose to be a lively friendly cafe. Now, on my scale, I will give a "3" for service, over all for the 3 dishes a "5" and a "3" for value for money. Well, may be I will not come again, but then, who knows? The ambiance is still ok.

Lunch @ Charlie Brown Cafe, KLCC, KL

It was a quiet Friday. No one call us for lunch appointment. I am not sure whether it is a blessing in disguise or just our hard luck. So we make our way to KLCC for our usual Friday lunch. SMY suggested we check out a new place, new to me. SMY has been a couple of times. So, we check out Charlie Brown Café.

SMY ordered coffee latte for her and I have snoopy chocolate. Then we ordered chicken sandwich and tuna quiche .The quiche slice is quite big. The lunch is full of carbohydrate and half way through lunch we were falling asleep.

                                               

My snoopy chocolate is simply reaching heaven. It is very rich and full of chocolate, no cutting corners here!

 However, The tuna quiche is not to my expectation. I did not really taste the tuna “fullness”.  So the quiche fall flat with loads of carbo instead! The chicken sandwich fare much better. But again, the chicken spread sparingly over the bread. The minimal contents of the protein in both the quiche and sandwich leave a bad taste to my first dining experience.

However, the food presentation is simply beautiful specially the cartoon caricatures. But the waiting time for the food is simply too long. If one is starving, this is not the place, though the ambiance is like in a Charlie Brown’s cartoon strip!

On my scale, I give a 5. I may return to check out other dishes offered here.

"the victims" & "sinful delights" @ Melting Pot, Concorde Hotel,K.L.

Sunday, 20^th May 2012, Melting Pot, Concorde Hotel Kuala Lumpur, I was with my girlfriends having hi-tea and celebrating two of the girl’s birthday which was long over due. Both were born in March. The occasion was postponed few times for want of time and other reasons. The weird thing about our birthday celebration is that the birthday girl chose the place and pays the bills. This was the arrangement since time in memorial.

As usual, I make my round around the buffet counters. The cold prawns really caught my attention. Nevertheless, I pile up plate with a spoonful of most every dish including the enticing prawn. With my first chew, I could taste the freshness of it. Its flesh is very succulent and a bit crunchy and it simply calls for more. So I make my way to the prawn tray again and again and again. MM, April’s birthday girl warned me of my allergy. Well, heaven can wait was my reply. On hind sight however, I believe I was battered and beaten as someone insisted, though I came out a winner, nevertheless. (read my earlier post).

After I had enough, (15 of the General- I called them General) I make my way to the dessert counter. I have a few of the sinful delights. It is really “reaching heaven” experience.

On my scale, I give the food (read- prawns) a “10”, service, an “8” and value for money a “9”.

a foodie adventure with the Generals!
