Cafe Seventeen

Tried out this place finally. I've been told about this place by a couple of my friends. Cafe Seventeen... guess maybe the young people are their target clientale. So, on another Thursday night, Siah, TH, Daughter and I decided to give it a try. The place was kinda empty when we arrived at almost 8 p.m.

There's a little karaoke corner with a comfy red sofa set to go with it. And they have wifi ... saw a P1 Wimax modem.

The menu looked rather worn out and the choices are your normal western food. They serve 'calanary'.. ordered that. I think they got the spelling wrong. The cafe is too red for my liking. TH said the place felt stuffy. Service wasn't very good. The waitress kept sending wrong orders our way.

But the food wasn't particulary bad. Daughter had fish and chip. They used dory fish and the batter coating was quite tasty. The fish didn't have any smell. Sometimes the dory fish served has a 'mud' smell.

TH had chicken chop. He said it was quite good. Meat was soft.

Siah had a sort of mixed grill... I forgot what's the name already.. Triple Mix or something like that. It was a bit too peppery for her liking but she said if one likes black pepper sauce, it's actually quite okay. She ordered that cos it was on the set thingy.. you get a soup and drink. Makes it quite worthwhile!

I had lamb chop. Not bad... one of the slightly better ones, if I may say. The big white lump under the meat is the mashed potato. Kinda looks like a swimming turtle with the piece of capsicum doubling up as it's flippers. LOL!

The place started filling up as we were finishing. If you go after 8 p.m. on Thursdays, the ladies will get a free drink. No wonder people started coming in later. Price wise... reasonable. I'd rate this cafe's western as quite nice. Where is this place? Well, it's one of the shops in the new block of shops next to Keat Hwa 1 Secondary School on Jln Kuala Kedah. Can't miss it!

There is another cafe nearby (same place)called G-Give Cafe running by a Christian. He is my friend's son. They have home made cookies too. You can go and try the food and give your comments here.

Random Shots, ai ya....I am one more place behind u. Right now in Kota bahru, will certainly check out the place. Btw, I had the BEST "Gu Bak Koay Teow" in Kota Bahru. The shop is owned by a Christian family and the big bowl is only RM 6.00. It comes with 2 huge meaty balls and pieces of entails big enough to delight your chewing. Read from my blog.
