Step into Café Café and you are immediately transported to the classic parisian mode with exquisite, splendid chandeliers and crystal beads hanging around. The setting is dreamy and quixotic, thanks to the dim lighting and candlelights, definitely a great place for romantic getaway.
The pricing in the menu immediately caught my attention. They are above average, similar to that of fine dining in five star hotels but he kept assuring me that we only have this celebration once a year so just put the price tag behind and enjoy.So he went for the 119 set (essentially means RM119) that came with a chef soup, an appetizer, a main course and a dessert. That sounds like whole lot of food but bear in mind that it is fine dining, the portion of the food came small and actually we can still go for hokkien noodles at the kopitiam next to Café Café. Aiks, dun spoil the romantic mood...carry on with my luvly parisian nite...
Complimentary bread with garlicky butter.
We had Truffle King Prawn as appetizer (ala carte:RM39) that came with three gigantic prawns. The outer layer seemed to be deep fried and glazed with sweetish honey-like sauce. The verdict? Fantastic! We luv this appetizer very much, one exotic and bud tantalising dish to start off your meal.
He chose to have duck confit from the selection of main course (ala carte: RM45++).
The birthday gal went for the Norwegian Salmon Fillet (RM42). The fish fillet was very nicely pan fried while retaining its juicy texture. A good try.
His meal is never complete without coffe. As usual for him, a glass of cafe mocha (RM13).
You just can't leave Café Café without having their dessert. The dainty tiramisu came highly recommended (RM20). For me, the strong French brandy taste was unbearable as I nearly choked on it. Maybe I'm just not used to liquor.
And the most anticipating birthday hot chocolate cake (RM28).
I luv the molten centre so much, the warm chocolate sauce just kept oozing out and melted my heart. One piece of heavenly good dessert on earth that I have ever tried, with my fave haagen dazs vanilla ice cream. No worries with the fattening thingy, the slimming belt will do its job.
I had a really wonderful birthday celebration at Café Café. The ambiance is simply breathtaking and the dessert was mamma mia. I'm craving for more now... my warm choc cake...

xiu long bao:
We were there a few times before being an active flogger. I like their food, crestive, gorgeous and something outstanding for a malaysian standard. But got to say the owners are really s**ks and had a bad experience recently at their sister cafe, Banquet, bangsar new village, with impression that they don't really like floggers. They are so snobbish!!!
Faster ask CSB to celebrate your Chinese birthday as well! ;) Kakakaka....
you have really been well dined for this one. Since it was more of fine slurping pleasures on one part we will look forward to your exposes ( little bit also can lah ) on the drooling romantic part which you have intentionally ( for good reason suppose) not hinted...at all hehehe ( that type of dangerous laugh)
sc:
TQ!I know! I was more attracted to the dessert menu, i think the other 2 are crepe and choc tart...but the molten choc cake was gud enoh...so sinful!
jian:
no worries, all the best in ur studies. If u like drunken tiramisu, u shud try italiannies' one. Very nice coffee liquor taste, and the portion is big enoh to feed 3 ppl at RM15.90 only!
BBO:
Oh, we snapped alot of pix @ banquet but were not banned for doin dat though they did give us some strange looks. The lighting of the place is perfect for snapping food pix. Wat they did to you? so bad har?
tankiasu:
Sure will...hahaha...but lose the effect oledi lar.
the team:
ahem, wat exposures r u expecting from me???
xiu long bao,
Fine dining with such a price. Expensive meh? hehe. True enough, I don't think the portion is big enough for you and csb. haha! Hmmm...I also don't know who's spoilt now. ;)
Awww....so sweet and memorable. Seems like a lot of birthday celebration were held there...hmmm....my birthday coming soon too..must inform Hubby of the place now. Hahaha.
kok:
yalor, if portion big big then not classy n fine already mar. but my mum dropped her jaw when i told her bout the grand total...haha
precious pea:
