C-Jade, what?

There was this restaurant in Mid-Valley which we're longing to go since it opened years ago, but never had the chance. Except tonight because Wife wanted something different instead of the usual MacDonalds, Pizza Hut or the Food Court on the third floor. So, I quickly suggested the place.

There were a lot of people in there and the queue was quite reasonable. After 10 minutes, we got a place. I can say that the service here is quite fast. In fact, lightning fast. While waiting in the queue, we were handed out the menus ala Kim Gary which we were required to tick the dishes of our choice. I know its difficult to do since we were standing and with the two monst....er, beautiful kids of ours running about. But once we settled down and got our orders from the polite waiter, the first meal came within minutes. With so many waiters running about and each and everyone of them alert, it was really a nice surprise. For example, when I was about to pay for the bill, everyone sort of instinctively knows about it, even when I was hiding the bill (heh).

Then, everything went downhill. Really. First, the air-con was quite cold and so, you need to devour the food as soon as it arrived or else you'd be eating something that was brought out of the fridge and left at room temperature hours ago. Which is a bit feat because we had to make sure Kristine and Kaelynn got the food into their mouths and nowhere else. Maybe we had high expectations of the place of maybe its the still undigested glutinous rice I had for lunch but the food served there did not agree with me. For one, the baked rice I ordered was technically it, but I was expected something like those from Kim Gary's. And there is the problem with the set meals which was plastered on the flat screen TVs and somewhat difficult to locate on the menu which really made us just want to order anything that resembled food, swallow it and try to get out of that place as fast as possible.

The only saving grace was the "sauce" section where I guess, everyone helped themselves to it. You have the normal ketchup, chilli sauces. And then, there were the four extra sauces which I liked: chopped chili and (garlic?) in say sauce, the sweet (plum?) sauce, the green ginger/spring onions sauce and the wickedly red hot chili/sambal/oil sauce. The last two sauces were great and if I were to go back again, I would sneak in some fries to go with them.

But the big question is, would I go back there again? I don't think so. Maybe next year.

Kristine and her noodles. Trust me, the meat or whatever
it was that resembled meat (mutton?) tasted like nothing
on this Earth. Even Kristine does not want it.
