It is our first time to dine in this restaurant - not our first Fish & Co experience but for this particular outlet it is our very first experience with them, we went in hungry thinking to satisfy our seafood crave chopstickbowl

When we enter the outlet is partially full, with 1 section of the restaurant closed. We are greeted and seated down upon request, ordered our food within minutes and we start chit chatting there and waited for our food bowlbowl

I ordered a Swedish Fish & Chips with Ice tea and Soup - the ice tea and soup is served like within minutes, but to our great disappointment, the soup is cold and not hot at all sadsadthe flavour of the soup is actually quite okay but its temperature is really the turn off point, also note that some of the soup paste is still there, looks like not cook or stir properly

Then we waited for 30 minutes for the other food to serve to us, also notice that the other customer also waited for long time and many angry faces start appearing everywhere huffyhuffy

The Swedish fish & chips, the chips is cold and taste like rubber, pretty much like chips that is cooked but not yet served for long time sicksick the fish is okay but only serve with 1 portion instead of the usual 2 portion - the Tar tar sauce is ice cold, pretty much like the crew just took the sauce out from refrigerator

 


My partner ordered the Seafood platter, the praw is overburn - with the prawn head taste bitter, like the taste of overburned food yukyukthe fish and squid is still okay, considered fresh and finally the chips, is also ice cold and taste like rubber.

Overall disaster experience sicksickyuksad

Taste Good But Inflated Price Smile Mar 08, 2016

Ordered philippine egg plant, nyonya fried rice and crab meat tofu for the dinner, the taste as usual is awesome especially for the egg plant, crunchy...spicy and sour.

Nyonya fried rice portion is okay, well cooked and had great eroma smell of the spices. Crab meat tofu is quite normal, not a great dish that i will recommend.

Tissue paper is hard and rough, does not feel good using it. Prices has increase dramatically, prices of menu has changed though, at least by 30%

10th Year Anniversary Meal OK Sep 10, 2015   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Malaysian variety | Café | Noodles | Halal | Nasi Lemak

Every 10th of the month from May until December 2015, Old town give away promotion where with RM10 you get to purchase a set meal (with choice of Minced chicken rice, BBQ chicken rice, Soup Pan Mee and Asam Laksa) with one drink (choice of Coke, Sprite and Grape Fanta) 

Come the day of the month, their outlet is Pavilion is crowded with office folks trying to grab this good deal, as perceived by many while myself I think it is just normal (You could buy chicken rice with drink outside for lesser price) but I guess because the name is Old town, so everyone think the deal is good.shocked

Staff will usually be under staffed to handle the sudden big crowd, so usually we have to wait for a while before being served with food, and they don't even have time to prepare fork and spoon for me. huffy

Food wise, I ordered the minced chicken rice. Portion is not very big but the rice did have the traditional chicken rice aroma. The minced chicken is quite salty and a bit spicy, while the soft boiled egg is broken so I can't really taste the egg there, the vegetable is okay not very hard, and the grape Fanta is good lol

Super Bad Service Cry Apr 17, 2015

Categories : Malaysian variety | Café | Noodles | Nasi Lemak

This cafe located at Wisma UOA 2, is a convenient place to dine for breakfast for office workers, where myself and my colleague patronage for breakfast before going to work but if you planning to dine here please prepare at least 1 hour in advance, because your food is going to be late. huffy

We had waited for more than 30 minutes and the respond we get is "wait a while" we ordered breakfast set, peanut butter toast with soft boil egg. sad

The toast is quite crunchy, egg is very cold already, drinks is okay though but when everything arrive late then it is very bad. Food is not that bad and not that perfect, what's annoying is the staff working attitude. huffy

Irish restaurant had been a stranger to me for years as we rarely had a real chance of indulging in Irish cuisine, and now we no longer need to take hours of long flight just to grab a taste of Irish cuisine, it is now made available in Malones Irish restaurant and bar. Not known to me before being invited by my friend to have Friday night hangout, i was told by friends that it is a place you rather call bar than a restaurant as most patron here drink beer, so i guess having a few pint of beer is inescapable.

Decorated using open bar and vintage concept, it is quite a comfortable restaurant bar you like to visit especially during your Friday night session with your love one or colleague. Staff here are quite busy with their work, as we enter we almost ignored by the staff and we have to personally ask for help from the staff to be seated, i guess the part of coordination was not done perfectly.
Beer

Beer

 
Served in a stylish beer glass, the Guinness served with this glass make looking at the beer itself is so enjoyable and tempting to drink it. Couple with the good environment given by the restaurant atmosphere and the patron who chat and have fun as they enjoying their beer, it is no wonder such a place is full with office worker during Friday night.
Hotdog

Hotdog

 
Drinking beer without any snack is kinda boring, so the four of us decided to order some hot dog and mini burger to feed ourselves while chit chatting and slowly sipping on the beer. Thus hot dog, which i forgotten the name , is served with chili and hot dog slices, fit in with our beer as it add some spices to our taste bud on the ice cold beer. Texture of the hot dog meat was good and juicy, definitely a good side dish to couple with beer chopstick
Mini Burger

Mini Burger

 
Well, this one isn't that great, a stack of mini meat with some vegetables and very small bun. It is quite hard to eat these burger without getting your hand dirty as its small size make the handling process fairly hard. As you chew the burger, you find that it is actually very hard to bite and the texture of the bun is not great either. I will not recommend this dish, it sound nice but it does not taste nice at all.

On this special Friday occasion, we are lucky to witness an Irish band to perform with a Japanese drummer, though it can be quite noisy but i see most of the customer here enjoying the loud music and even dance together, this scenery you won't normally find it in restaurant, but in Malones it is still possible. Enjoy the music yourself here:

Malone Irish Live Band

 


In a nutshell, pricing wise is quite expensive and not really value for money especially for food. However it is disputably a place to hang out for your Friday beer, prices for beer seems more reasonable than the price for food. Credit card and cash are both accepted, service crew is quite attentive and sometimes come over to ask you if you want to buy more beer, can be quite annoying for some customer.
