One day after a business meet-up with a client, I decided to take a moment out of my workday to have lunch on my own at Ben's. It had been a long while since my last visit to the restaurant so I thought why not indulge in a nice plate of pasta for the day. 

As always I was greeted with the restaurant manager that led me to my table almost instantly. I asked for a nice quiet corner where I can enjoy my latest read while I dined and thankfully the man was accomodating. Something I really like about Ben's is that the staff (based on my visits) have been polite and friendly which puts me in a good mood to enjoy the food.

Once I sat down, I took a glance through the simple menu and placed my order within a minute. Before I entered the restaurant, I already knew what I wanted which was my favourite order of Pesto with Spaghetti.

A simple plate of pasta was priced at Rm20.90. An option of grilled chicken breast is available but I decided to just have this without the protein. 

From the previous time I had this dish, I remember it being very nicely creamy without being too cloying and incredibly flavoursome. The in-house made pesto was very fragrant. However I was slightly disappointed by my current trial as the entire dish lacked the punch that came with a strong pesto and it was not creamy. In fact, watery would be the correct way to describe my plate of spaghetti. 

I assume that this time around, a pre-made pesto was used which explained the lack of oomph and also blandness.

Although I had my fix of carbs like I initially wanted, I was left disappointed as it was no longer the same plate of Pesto spaghetti that I was craving for. Though the price is reasonable, I feel like the taste left little to be desired of my meal so I did not finish it. Which is a surprise for a pasta lover like myself.

The beef patty was chunky, and barely tender - a little too dry for my liking. The fries were thoroughly and completely unexciting. Salad was a nice touch, though hard to navigate and consume.Service was terrible - almost impossible to get attention or even a fill of water, and took my food away before I am done without asking.

So there I was at Ben's Publika after an event. It was part of their lunch buffet spread. The first picture shows the roasted chicken, with pasta and potatoes. Served hot, and with Lingham's chilli sauce, it had a sweet tangy taste. I did like the way Ben's prepared their pasta without being too oily. My second dish, includes the "pai tee" from Ben's. Served in these cute top hats, it was crispy and had a nice taste when popped into the mouth. Pretty good and recommended.

With such variety of choices on the menu, ben's is considered quite a potential choice when it comes to selections with both asian and western menu. So far, the asian menu is what I really like and this other dish that I love is the Curry Laksa which is not cheap for a dish you can easily get by the street or in any hawker centers. Selling at RM 24.90, the noodles are presented very nicely in a huge bowl making eating very easy and delightful. I thought it could use a little bit more of those cu

Selling at RM 24.90, the noodles are presented very nicely in a huge bowl making eating very easy and delightful. I thought it could use a little bit more of those cucumbers. It wasn’t too spicy and the sambal is served separately so for those who don’t fancy curry laksa to be over spicy then this one is creamily gentle.

While the Fisherman’s catch(RM 25.90) is serve at the right portion the coleslaw made a great add on to the otherwise dull combination of fish burger. The fillet is great, amazingly breaded to have the stunning texture on the outside whilst keeping the fish juicy on the inside.

The Fish and Chips(RM 25.90) also stunningly showed off the juicy fish fillet, this tempura coated fish fillet is also as great and tasted quite similar to the Fisherman’s Catch, minus the extra carbs from the fluffy bun.

The food are fair and palatable, they offer an array of variety from western to Asian, from steaks to light snacks and bites, and from individual meals to something strictly for sharing only. I was really intrigue by their Asian menu at first, so I tried their Nasi Ulam and some starter Chicken Vegetable soup which I thought was a little pricey. Selling at RM 14.90, the bowl of soup was rather bland to me despite the scores of assorted vegetables in it. Served with grated parmesan crust and a slice of toast garlic bread, the parmesan clearly spoiled everything. It was probably prepared and stocked till there is a order in the kitchen. I am guessing because the crust wasn’t fresh at all and the lousy oil used prominently allows a bad flavour roaming for as long as it lasted in your mouth.

Good thing the Nasi Ulam make it up to the disappointment from the chicken vegetable soup.However, this RM 25.90’s big plate of rice with a huge chicken thigh rendang, and several other dishes is a definite and strictly for sharing only. Served with half of my favourite salted egg and lekor, the entire combination of everything on the plate is explicitly ambrosial.

If Asian menu doesn’t excite you, then do take a look at the rest of what’s offered in Ben’s. They offer a simple yet delightful diversity of dishes.I also tried the Pesto Chicken Sandwich which also sells at RM 25.90 for some really thick slice of sandwich. The bread was toasted and a whole slice of chicken breast was the main ingredient of this sandwich. I’m not too sure about the selection of method used to prep this dish, of which I thought the sandwich was really dry and bland. The grilled chicken was dry and hard, and the bread is not any better as well. The pesto sauce must either be really expensive, or the probably already ran low on that day. I didn’t enjoy the sandwich at all, but I do enjoy the sides.

This tiny salad leaves that’s served with the sandwich was appetizingly delicious. The slightly sourish plum sauce from the dressing compliments the mix nuts tossed on the salad.

Their desserts are quite extensively charming and the variety is so wide I decided to publish one entry just for their deserts so look out for that on my Facebook page. For now, we went with the amazing Sundae macadamia cheese cake, selling at RM 11.90. It was really good and what makes it perfect is the vanilla sundae.With the crunch from the richly coated with caramel macademia nuts and the pieces of cheesecakes chunks in it, the sweetness of the dessert is toned with the cool vanilla sundae. Ice freezes the taste bud hence balancing the sweetness of this dessert. (This explains why melted ice creams are sweeter)

Approaching night time, this place becomes really happening when the bar opens. And this is the time when the place would be almost full and the dining or hanging out under those stars is a great offer for leisure. When seated under the starry night, dining experience instantly transform to another mood which is a lot steadier and more settled. Almost like you just want to savour and slowly enjoy your food.

Chocolate Truffle Torte, served with a glass of icy cold milk. It's nice to be shared among five people or above, but having it alone or less than five people might disgust you due to its texture. It was more like a piece of chocolate mousse, served when it was still more solid, but became so much softer by the time we finished our meal.

Berrific Sundae. One of my girl friends who came along ordered this because she wanted to have something cold and sweet. It was filled with a few types of berries, vanilla ice-cream, and dripped with chocolate sauce. Even though our stomachs were all bloated, we didn't hesitate to finish it without taking a break. So satisfyingly good!

Macadamia Cheesecake Sundae @ RM11.90I always thought it will be a piece of cheese cake with macadamia nuts, but until one day my cousin order this which makes me delighted to try it. It's actually a glass of sundae of vanilla ice cream and stuff with cubes of cheese cake at the bottom and top. Finished by generous of macadamia nuts and caramel liquid on top. Each spoonful you got a taste of crunchy nuts, salty cheese and cooling ice cream in the mouth. This is really fantastic.

Belgian Fries @ RM9.90Belgian fries is one of my favourite side order at Ben's. The shape is unique and i usually will bite it according to the lines for fun. The fries are well fried with the flavourful powder. Some of the potato skin is still visible, so fresh and crispy. Once started one piece is really hard to stop. Dip it with the special tartar sauce brings it up to another level of taste. Yummy !
