Boss: We are going to experience the worst economic recession since Great Depression. So you all know what to do lah.
*Over the phone*
Mum: Wei, the economic is going downturn. Rice already increased price, Gardenia also getting more and more expensive. You got save money or not?
*Looking at my shopping bags*
Me: Of course got lah.
*At The Yogitree*
I was abit stunned when my Flaky Salmon and Crab Cakes were served. Guess recession impacts on the portion of the food served as well. Piled on top of another, the Salmon and Crab Cakes were only of the size of Chinese Chess pieces. By the way, this dish costs a whooping RM 15. Bar none, the presentation and the texture were lovely. Wish they could serve more tomato relish though. Oh yah, recession.
The signature Duck Pear Salad (RM 22) came highly recommended by the restaurant crew. The salad reminds me of the Roast Duck Breast Salad that I had in Jarrod & Rawlins. The portion is comparably smaller. Somehow I still prefer JR’s light sourish salad dressing over Yogitree’s sesame oil dressing.
The Pasta Carbonara came with beef bacon, mushroom and egg (RM21). Beef bacon can be substituted with Salmon at the price of RM 25. By the way, did I mention that no cream is used in cooking the rich and creamy carbonara sauce?
Feeling unsatisfied, I ordered a serving of bread pieces with Mediterranean dip. The
hummus came with a strong burnt smell or is it supposed to taste like that? The highlight
of the meal has got to be the multigrain focaccia.

*When footing the bill*
He: Better start saving money now. You know how bad the economic is now.
Me: Oh yah, then why are we still eating here?
*Counting…*
He: Oklor, RM80 divide by 2.3 = $ 35 divide by 2 = $ 17.50 per pax. Not that bad lah.
*Nodding in agreement*
Recession doesn’t count when it comes to food.
