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.

Ice blended cappuccino - Taste good. Coffee taste is thick enough.

After the main course, my mouth is icthy for dessert. Hehe... At first I planned to order a moist chocolate cake, but the waiter recommend Medley of Desserts to us. According to him, there are 3 types of desserts in this Medley thing.
When the dessert was served, I was shocked to see the size of it. It was like the food served in Alice in Wonderland. So tiny.

Forgot the name for this. But taste bad. The egg is so hard.A mini version of the moist chocolate cake. It's just one mouthful big. Another surprise for me when I put the cake into my mouth. It tasted warm... I think they must have preheat the cake in a oven before it was served. The cake is hard. Taste bad again.
Lastly, it's a sago gula melaka dessert. But I can't recall the exact name of it. There are 3 layers in this dessert, vanilla ice-cream, gula melaka and sago (from top to bottom). The opening of the 'tube' is so small that you can't even dig the small spoon into it. End up we need to pour the sago out. Taste wise- *thumbs down*
The desserts was disaster!

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.


But, after I read the food blog regarding the food in Paddington house in Lingzie Tummy Treats (http://lingzie.com/paddington-house-of-pancakes-queensbay-mall/), I decided to give it a try. As usual, we go to Qbay Mall for shopping. And always end up with the same problem which is we can't figure out what to eat. Suddenly thought of Paddington House of Pancakes, so we decided to give it a try.

First glance at the menu, the price for the food is quite expensive. There are so many choices which I can't make up my mind which one to choose. End up, we decided to choose one main course and one dessert pancake. We order the one with gourment sausage as recommended by Lingzie and another is ... pancake with banana and ice-cream. I forgot the name of the dish.

First came the sausage. Smell so tasty :-) It's served with hash potato & chicken ham.
I dig my knife into the sausage. Wow! Melting cheese was oozing from the sausage. It was so tasty. The pancake taste like bread fried with eggs. The pancake alone taste normal to me but the sausage taste very good!

Then came our dessert. Pancake + banana + ice-cream. It's served with some honey. The pancake texture is so soft and the aroma of the pancake is so fragrant. I love this pancake. It's nice even I eat it on it's own. The ice-cream has peanut butter flavour. Awesome! When you eat the pancake with the ice-cream, it's heavenly. The feeling is like the peanut butter is inside the pancake.

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