Backofen

I was having a short lunch break during my interview in Hartamas, when I decided to wander into this restaurant serving pastries, cakes, and a small selection of mains. I decided to order the carbonara. It was okay, nothing fancy, just standard pasta with standard carbonara sauce. Not the best I've had so far. However, the plus point is that you will not get charged for government tax and service charge. And prices are fairly reasonable. (27/09/2010)

I went back there today, for lunch with my colleagues, and decided to give the place another try. This time I tried their set lunch (RM13 nett) which was grilled chicken with cream sauce (it comes with tomato soup and coffee or tea of your choice), and my colleagues ordered a meatloaf with sunny side up egg and a potato salad, and another ordered a meatloaf without the egg with roasted potatoes. The last colleague ordered the set lunch as well, which was lamb. It was ... GOOD!! I really liked my dish, my chicken was perfect, and very tasty. I loved my tomato soup as well as my coffee. My colleague's meatloaf was REALLY yummy too, and the colleague who had his lamb... usually does not take lunch. So the fact that he ate lunch today, just for the lamb, was an indication that the meal was going to be good. And so it was. I've changed my mind fully about the restaurant. Just avoid the carbonara at all cost. There are loads more delicious dishes on the menu. Best part was again, no tax charged.
