MAYLAFFAYZA

We first came to this place for the last Buka Puasa of 2005. Had always been curious of this restaurant as it always look busy.

The interior is quite nice, very clean (masih baru kali), and the waitstaff was friendly, but not too much. They served free "tajil" then, which I guess was a little bonus, although we definitely didn't wanna judge the place just by that.

The Tomato Cream soup (not listed on menu as "cream" soup) was tasty. The imported Short Ribs were delicious, and all the side dishes was excellent (mashed potatoes, side veggies, etc.) for less than 60 ribu.

However, Yasha was unfortunate to find a FLY in his free cup of Bubur Kacang Ijo...

Earlier for lunch, we went for our 2nd visit. The place was empty, a table of 4 were just leaving as we sat down. We didn't quite like the "Live Music" setup there, consisting of just one keyboard and a couple of mics. We thought the owner was smart enough not to do such a thing, but I guess we were wrong.

For our "quick" lunch, I ordered the Norwegian Salmon Steak with mushroom sauce, which was one of the highest priced dish at the place. Yasha ordered the Grilled/BBQ Chicken Maryland.

The food took a while to arrive. When it came, the thick fillet was sizzling hot, thanks to the WHITE HOT stone plate underneath it. They must have heat the stone up all the way to "Core Meltdown" on the oven setting. Hot oil sprinkles were flying out as far as 40 centimeters away from the plate.

However, all I tasted was Hot Fish and nothing more. It was as bland as Titiek Puspa's "So Good" fish sticks (ngga pernah nyobain juga sich padahal).

Yasha wasn't complaining much about his Chicken Maryland, although it looked like 40% of the chicken breast was all SKIN and FAT. He said it tasted alright, though... The Fries that come with both dishes are crunchy and tasty... Good stuff

We might go back to dine here, but not anytime soon, and definitely not gonna order the "salmon"

And seriously, the owners need to be consistent with their quality, or else...
