It was raining cats and dogs that Friday night and we were hunting for dinner. Our planning was Miyako Izakaya which was located at Penang Road but the parking is not convenient at all. I'm sure we'll be drench in that heavy rain. So, changed plan again.
Round and round we went, and we came to Ribs. There's a spot for parking just right outside the restaurant, so we delay no more and decided to dine there.
Once we got our car parked, there's a waiter came out with umbrella to guide us into the restaurant without getting wet. OMG! Good impression.
Once we are seated in the non-smoking area, the waiter produced us with menu. He showed his uttermost good manner when he served us all the way through our dinner. Good impression again!
To avoid being stuffed until too full, we decided to order one appetizer, one main course and one drink to share among 2 of us.
Quesadillas - very hard to pronouce. It's a thin crust pastry stuffed with some cheese, tomato, lettuce and ham. It tasted so appetizing and it's packed with all those ingredients. Yummy dish!
We ordered a combo of BBQ ribs and chicken as our main course. It contain 3 pcs of ribs and 1 pcs of drumstick. The ribs is very tender and the BBQ sauce taste just right. I prefer the ribs and then chicken.

9/23/2008 | Baked Dory, BBQ Half Chicken, Qbay, Western Food | 7 comments »It has been 3 yrs since the last time I've visited Breeks Cafe @ Gurney Plaza. I only remember one thing about it which is the serving portion is very big.
This time I visited the branch at Qbay. It was Friday night and not much people were sitting in the cafe.
We ordered 2 main course and one drink which is Goldilock Freeze. It's a mock cocktail which means no alcohol. It tasted like mango yogurt to me with some jelly thingy inside it. I ordered Baked Dory glazed with Lime Chili Sauce. This is available in a set (come with a soup). The price is even cheaper by RM1 compare to the ala carte. So, I've ordered the set instead of ala carte. As for ala carte, a scoop of ice cream will be given as a complimentary.
The serving size is very big consist of a big piece of dory fish and a medium portion of spaghetti with some vegetables. It's less oily which is a very healthy dish. The fish is very tender with no fishy smell. As spelled in the dish name, lime chilli sauce were used. This make the fish very appetising.
As for BBQ Half Chicken with Smoked BBQ Sauce, this is only available in ala carte. The half chicken is served with some butter rice and garden salad. This taste is okay. The breast meat is too dry to me even though I like breast meat.
The soup was served last. Hmm.. weird.. I suppose the soup should be served first? It's just a normal borsch soup. I thought they would serve cream soup. This soup taste normal only. Anyway, it's free. Hehe
Everytime I pass this restaurant when I go shopping at Queensbay Mall, the thing that always popped up in my mind is "pancake as main course"? Wouldn't the taste be so weird. I always feel that pancake should be serve as dessert - sweet sweet pancake. Therefore, I never thought to dine at this restaurant.


Overall, I like the food there. I will definitely go back and try more. Pancakes... !! I'm coming!!!
