Sometimes** I am guilty of letting too much time pass.... and miss out on important things like catching up with treasured old friends (and also updating my blog. Sigh)....
(** Getting to be too often, actually)
I don't think it's just me though - everyone is so busy one thing or another (whether because of work, dating, kids, family, etc) so the lapses can really drag on.
I have known Z since high school (omg so long ago I am so old wail) and after many months, we finally caught an overlapping free time in our schedules and met up in Damansara Uptown... We didn't mean to end up at Entree Cafe (which is fairly new, I think), but it looked interesting as we were walking past:
I liked the ambience inside - simple yet nice and comfy with its casual setting and quirky/ artistic decor like the chalk drawings on the walls:
I tried the Lemongrass Tea (cold) (RM 3.80+) - It was very refreshing with a light sweetness and nice balance of lemongrass that was not too overpowering:
I felt like something soupy so I chose the Tom Yam Seafood Mihun (RM 13.80+) from their a la carte menu - It was a little sweet, spicy and only slightly sour... Not bad but probably not my fave tom yam in town:
My friend opted for the Set Lunch which comes with a choice of main and a free drink - chosen here, the 46th Street Rangoon Laksa (RM 9.80+). I took a bite and wished I had ordered this instead.
It was a lovely, hearty dish with a chunky broth with nice balance of earthy, sweet and slightly spicy (nice sour zing too if you add the lime).
(My kind of comfort food. Yummy!)
We didn't try any desserts that day but scanning the menu, there were many interesting sounding fusion dishes that caught my eye - looking forward to go back there soon...
(Pricing is pretty decent too)
So a new discovery, friendly service + good food + nice ambience... It all added up to make our nice catch up session even better that day.
So it's: Nice casual but quirky ambience, friendly service, good range of Western, Asian and fusion dishes at decent prices BUT nothing bad really, just that they are quite empty on weekends - don't take this as a bad sign :) The food is pretty good..
