I was told to meet at the Garden in 1U for a friend’s birthday dinner one evening and I had no idea where it is… this shows how little time I spent in shopping centers

Anyhow, I picked up Miharu and we soon arrived at this “outdoor cafe” within the 1U shopping mall.  White base with lots of greens is the theme of the place and the whole place looks like a nice big elegant and classy English garden.

My first thought was, hmmm… how can a cafe like this have good food, probably cake and coffee… so we got greeted by extra friendly and helpful staff and were shown the menu. The selection is not as comprehensive as a restaurant with the fact that this is a cafe but quite good for it’s size.

The first thing that caught our eyes were this appetizer which are six shots of vodka with fresh oyster and lychee in it! I could not imagine how it would taste it… but surprisingly it tasted ok and not as bad as I thought. The vodka is light and oyster goes good with the lychee covering its taste. However, this is something I would not want a second helping, don’t mind trying the first one .

We ordered jugs of fruit juice to share, the initial serving was quite watery… so we complained to the friendly staff and after checking with the kitchen, they were kind enough to change for us and the second time, it was much better.

Unexpectedly, the food here is good, first to arrived is the lamb shank serve with some sides of potato and nice tomato gravvy. Meat are soft, tender and very nice. The roast chicken covered with tasty gravvy and greens are very good as well.

We also got other stuff like pineapple fried rice, olio, spagetthi seafood and fish & chips too. Overall I must say food here is pretty good.

Another thing that impressed me is that, we bought a slice of cake for our friend and the kitchen was nice enough to help us decor the cake with topping and birthday greetings, I thought that is really creative and clever of them, bravo .

We had a very satisfying time here, good food, great service, worth trying. Cost about RM30 plus for 7 of us and the birthday kawan eats free .
