The Pumpkin Cafe

My labmates and I celebrated my birthday in advance at the Pumpkin Cafe situated somewhere near FTMS and Ipoh Town cafe of Jalan Song. The cafe is a corner shoplot, owned by my dance friend Mabel's husband. She had given me some cash vouchers, so we decided to go for a try. Being a scientist, I'll be as objective as possible in reviewing. Hehe. The counter (please bear with me the resolution of these pics as I'm capturing from my 2.0 pixels hp)
Christmas in the air
wen ni's drink (forgot to ask her how it tasted)
my order ~ Italian style spaghetti with herbs and terriyaki chicken @ RM14.90. I personally think it tastes and smells good as they were quite generous with the spice and herbs used. The chicken is tender with nice terriyaki sauce. Well, one thing to comment would be it's a bit oily for me (but maybe because I wasn't feeling well that day so it might have affected my appetite). The portion is proportional to the price, or maybe a little more than expectation because when our orders came, we all exclaimed 'the portion quite big!' (instead of the usual 'huh, so small?') So, I hope they can keep it up.
lamb shoulder ordered by Wen Ni @ RM16.90 (or RM14.90? I forgot). It was served with potato wedges.
Grace's order ~chicken rice chop @ RM6.90 (if I got it right)
Mok ordered chicken chop (she's an internship student from UTAR, we were celebrating her belated birthday too)
On overall, the cafe is worth going for normal ordinary lunch or for a little special dinner. It serves mainly western + local style cuisine at affordable price (targeting middle class workers, college students and families). The portion is quite satisfying for the price that one pays. Ambience inside the cafe is just nice (we went for lunch, not sure when night falls). Clean tables and clean toilets which is a ++ for them. About the taste of food, I can't comment much as I only tried the spaghetti but to be frank, my spaghetti tastes alright and up to my expectation. So, go check it out yourself!
