Brussels Beer Cafe Jaya One Review

Finally decided to try the set lunch at Brussels Beer cafe at Jaya One.
The set lunches come with a drink and access to the buffet salad bar.

Perfect view of the salad bar

The set lunch is well worth with the salad bar included. I loved the potato salad and the herb flavored croutons.

The mashed potato was hard and chewy, could have been old or overmashed. The bratwurst was nice though when combined with the mash and gravy.

This bacon & egg panini set came with hand cut fries. I rarely see that nowadays especially at this price.

Bacon & Egg Panini RM12.80

Overall great value for a sunday lunch, great service and would definitely pay another visit. Will need to keep track of their menu as it rotates 4 set lunch menus every week.

Coconut House Jaya One Review

Dropped by Jaya one to have my glasses adjusted. After settling that, went to look for a place for lunch. Almost settled for set lunch at Brussels Beer Cafe, but instead found a new outlet (to me anyway) called Coconut House.

Surprisingly, regardless of their name, they serve western and mainly italian food. Their specialty, I was told are the wood fired pizza's. I did see lots of blocks of wood by an oven at the back.

Looks like they serve set lunches here on weekends. Set lunches are basically a selection of mains plus a drink.

Set Lunch

 We ordered the Honey lemon drink with our set lunches. They seemed to have left out the lemon in the drink. It was way more lemon than honey (if any).

 My dish was the first to come. The roasted italian sausage which is a chef's recommendation (I think 70% of the menu are chef recommended). I was probably expecting something at german restaurants where they serve sausage and a side of mash hehe.. Well over here they serve it with a piece of focaccia.  The sausages were topped with a tomato based sauce and what do i see? bacon? Yuuumm....
Well here goes, tear of a bit of bread top it with a little sausage, bacon and sauce.. wow! I loved the flavors that were reacting in my mouth, herbs and spice from the sausage, slight sweet and sour from the sauce and the silky smooth bacon melting in my mouth.. drool.. :p
Safe to say, I loved this dish.

 This next dish was the focaccia dish (not chef recommended). Its basically some focaccia bread with couple slices of bacon and salad consisting of lettuce, onions, mango and rocket leaves (seems they top most of their dishes with this). It was a nice dish, only complaint would be the portion. But then again, you get what you pay for. The bacon just tastes so good that a couple of slices just isn't enough hehe..

Focaccia sandwich set RM9.90

The set lunches are great if your not looking to gorge yourself in food. Its a nice light meal and big eaters would definitely need to order a couple of sides or maybe try their specialty, the wood fired pizza's. I'd probably give them another visit put their specialties to the test.

Jaya Noodle House Review

Decided to pop into Jaya Noodle House today as wife had craving for noodles.

The place wasn't that crowded when we went in, so we weren't sure whether the food was good. Then again, Jaya One food outlets are rarely crowded during the afternoons. We decided to pop in.

We sat down and looked at the menu, there are quite a number of choices to choose from, but judging by the name of the store, we decided to stick to the noodles section of the menu. Wife ordered the two roasted meat combo noodles and I ordered the Soy Bean Noodles Minced Pork Noodles set. The set includes a choice of dessert between Red Bean Soup or Barley Ginko. I chose the Barley Ginko. Since tummy was hungry, we also ordered the Crispy Fried Wantan as a side dish.

After ordering, they will come and serve your utensils and wet tissue as well as a plate of pappadums.

What? pappadums? I thought we were in a chinese restaurant hehe.. I wasn't complaining since I loved pappadums, I just wished that indian restaurants served complimentary pappadums everytime I ordered my roti canai hehe.

After a couple minutes munching away on the pappadums, The food starts getting served.

The roast meat noodles was the first to arrive. First look, the noodles looked a little bland, but after mixing the sauce together and Wow.. its delicious.. man I wished I had ordered this instead of my wife. The roasted meats however was on the normal side. The next time I come I have to order this.

The barley ginko was normal.

Oooh yumm the wantan tasted so good.. They were fresh out of the fryer.

Soy-bean paste noodle was a disappointment, noodles were too soggy and taste was a tad too mild for my taste.

Overall had a good experience and definitely would return to try their other dishes.
