Ancient History

After getting sick of all the cheap eating establishments in the vicinity of Plaza Vads (the artiste formerly known as Prince, oh wait, the building formerly known as Plaza IBM), I decided to try a slightly more upmarket alternative-- 18th-20th Century Restaurant. Weird name. Don't worry, you won't see this on the menu: Mee Goreng, circa 1910. The shop's interior is very Old Town and woody. Marble-topped tables, rattan stools, wooden goldfish chairs (you know what I mean, right?), birdcages, the works. It was even graced by Maria Tengku Sabri of Jalan-Jalan Cari Makan. It certainly looks nice, but the food is not very satisfactory. I ordered the set lunch (RM13++). It came with an appetizer of fried springroll, fried wanton or chu cheong fun. The main dish was "Sweet & Sour Fish with Chinese Fried Rice". As you can see from the picture, the plates are over-sized, and the food portion is like hors d' ouvres. I was definitely hungry after the meal, but after 4 free refills of Sirap Cincau, I couldn't complain. Next!

PS: The shop is located just beside Mama's Kitchen that's famous for it's claypot loh se fun. Better luck there.

The setting is quaint, but i don't think i'll fork out that much for a small plate of stuff that doesn't look that appetitizing either! =)

How to explain... The row of shops behind 7-11 at TTDI (the Bangunan AHP area).

@Ban:
Bunnies need to eat too, you know. :P

@IkanB:
You're a growing boy, sure not enough.

@ExecL:
Hi. You're right. But sometimes we fork out more for much less. :D
