I've been google around the net for about a week or two to find a nice and cozy place for a quiet dinner...
It's my luvly dear's birthday.
So I came across a blog about Maria's Cafe about a week ago...
As the review mentioned that the food was nice...
And from the pictures being posted looking nice as well...
We never been there before even though our home it's just near by the corner...
So I decided to make a reservation and told the lady that I need a cake for that night.
She offered me chocolate cake which cost RM60, it's about 1kg?
However, I told her that I just want a small one as I don't fancy cake and I just want my dear to have it...
So with much chat, I decided on the Tiramisu as the review stated,it's good...
And the lady I chatted with is Mary Ann, the owner's daugher.
So...
Here comes the night...
I got to postponed the dinner from 8pm to 8.30pm due to traffic?
Anyhow...
Lucky enough they had a bunting hanging from top to indicate how to go up to the cafe...
I don't even know if take the lift which floor should I go though~
The glass door was closed...
Eventually need to slide it to the side...
That time just had one table of family inside...
The waiter greeted me and mentioned my name...
Good hospitality.
However...
He brought us to the non smoking section when I reserved smoking area...
It doesn't matter, we just moved to another section which cozier...
The music which being played over there, it's so relaxing and add more cozy of the place.
The Menu
We browsed through the menu...
As what I realized, the pricing it's affordable...
For a place like this, wow...
It's a good deal.
Introduction of Maria's Cafe.... (in the menu)
After decided on what we wanted...
I ordered the soup of the day, my dear have the Onion Soup...
While we ordered, the waiter informed us that there's dinner set available...
After had a look, I decided to take the set...
So my soup became the set soup....
I have Roast Leg of Lamb, my dear have the Seafood Spaghetti..
I even ordered another starter, Spicy Chicken Salad...
For drinks, I have lemonade and my dear ordered a peppermint tea...
The waiter said that the tea will include in the set I ordered, I'm fine with that.
The Set Menu
Not long later, the family went off...
So left our table...
Haha, it's just like I've paid for the whole cafe for the night! *proud proud*
The cutleries setting...
The drinks arrived...
Wow.. the tea from the set eventually they served in a pot... GOODY!
My lemonade was not really that nice, but it's ok as I prefer to have more sourish taste...
Lemonade and A Teapot Of Peppermint Tea
First Course....
Our soups....
I like my minestrone (it's soup of the day...)
For the onion soup, well... it's so much onions!
But my dear said it's ok....
My Minestrone Soup
Dear's Onion Soup (it's my phone lighting problem...)
Second Course....
Spicy Chicken Salad...
Woah.. it's spicy...
And I guess they used the Thai Chili Sauce?
Cos I love it!
The portion was quite big, just nice for 2 person....
Spicy Chicken Salad
Main Course
Roasted Leg of Lamb...
I was wondering... how big will the portion be?
As the set it's just RM28+....
Will it be too small?
Nehhh...
It's big though....
I guess, even though promotion, quality and quantity stays?
It's real nice and the lamb it's so tender and juicy...
But I found it weird to have a SAWI as the side dish (it's add with broccoli, cauliflower,carrots and potatoes)
Comes with black pepper sauce...
Voila, I had a meaty meal!
Roast Leg Lamb (yummy...)
My dear's Seafood Spaghetti...
Served with prawns, mussels, salmon and squids....
It tossed with olive oil and mixture of herbs...
It's good just that my dear added too much pepper...
Voila!...
I ate the balanced! :P
Seafood Spaghetti
Desserts Moment...
Before the dessert being served, Mary came to me and said I've reserved a "dessert" should it be serve?
I said yes...
My dear was wondering is it cake?
I said no...
Suddenly, the music was off...
We looked at each other and wonders...
THEY ARE NOT PLAYING HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONG ARE THEY!?!?!?!
Suddenly...
The waiter came out with the Tiramisu and the Happy Birthday Song was aired...
Laughed my heart out...
However...
Good enough, the song not that yesteryear tune...
It's smooth and classic....
Really nice effect....
My dear made her wish, and the candle blown.
After that the dessert for set arrived as well...
Woahh.. chocolate...
I don't take chocolate, so I told my dear to dig it up!
However, I tried on the Tiramisu...
Ahhh, rum!
So rich with RUM!
My dear said the real Tiramisu it's with Rum...
Oh well... the Tiramisu I had before... "HALAL"...
It's good, just that the deeper we spoon it, the rum flavour get stronger...
Then I tried on the chocolate pudding or brownies?... Not sure...
It's warm and nice....
Yet we both are full!
So in the end, ate the chocolate brownies to the end!
(For a not chocolate fan, I ate it~)
The Birthday Cake (Tiramisu... got a hole due to candle removed...)
Dessert from the set (Chocolate Pudding,I think...it's delicious!)
Had a few minutes there before we called for the bill...
RM 97.25...
Worth it.
Honestly, I enjoyed my meal, my night at Maria's more than in Boathouse which the price are double...
Why?
It's so quiet and cozy..
Yet...
The food quality eventually the same...
That's why I talked to myself during dinner that night...
It's worth and it's nice....
I've enjoyed myself there, even though through out the dinner we didn't talk much.
I'm falling in luv...again.
With the music...
It ends the night well.
Thanks Mary for the arrangement. Will visit again someday.
Keep up the good meal and work!!!
Happy Birthday to you and hope you did enjoyed yourself for the night. ^_^
