| - Yes, I used to work here too. I know, I probably have had more jobs than anyone has ever used the bathroom to pee. But, I came here with my cousin a few weeks ago and have been meaning to write about it. That day we went, I was craving for something hot and soupy so that's where we landed.
When I walked in for the first time in a year, I felt a sense of deja-vu. It felt like I was walking in with my black mini skirt, bustier, FM boots, and heavy make up ready to serve cocktails and shots to customers. But, I quickly erased that from my mind after seeing my old manager and greeting her hello with a warm hug. The look of the place is still the same, nothing had changed. The lighting above the bar is still luminescent with orange and red, and the restaurant laid out with tables and dim lights hanging just above it. The only thing that was different was the lounge, there used to be a lounge and coffee table by the front door but that had been replaced with a large table for a large party. What was an addition was a lounge room. I'm not sure what that is used for. I remember they said they wanted to make that room in to a pole room with Go-go dancers. This place used to be very packed on Fridays and Saturdays with B-boys and little school kids who would sneak a beer here and there. I actually hated how they would let 18 year olds party here. But, I guess what ever any one can do in order to gain profit. If kids can get away with it, why not?
After a small conversation with my ex-boss, I found my cousin and was ready to order. The appetizers are the best here. Chicken Satay is normally cooked to perfection but this time it was a little over cooked. They also have a Roty Canay normally super great but a little too doughy that night. For a Main Course, I ordered Laksa. I'm usually skeptical about hot and spicy food because it can't be too spicy. But after putting a small amount in my mouth, I found it wasn't too spicy and it wasn't too hot in temperature. That was prepared just perfectly. The fish balls, chicken, vegetables all combined with the coconut and curry taste soup was just what I needed to warm up after a cold breezy day. One of my cousins ordered Pad Thai and I wouldn't recommend that. They don't make great Pad Thai's here. It had a farty after taste and didn't smell very good. But then again, I've never had a Pad Thai that didn't smell weird. I am definitely going back for more Laksa just coz it's the best food for a cold season.
