According to Veronica, the place has a jungle ambience, with lots of greenery and flowers, as well as pots and vases that are actually for sale for those who have a green thumb.
But that's not all, theres' also a BIG-ASS white piano that pipes out romantic tunes all night long. Oh, it all sound so romantic, isn't it? I just wish the piano player is more properly attired, you know, with coats and all. That Ah Beng get-up clashed so violently with the piano that it's becoming more distracting than engaging...
Oh, and what's this? A tiered water fountain in a gigantic cage? Lovely...
Awww..the lovely couple, Veron and his BF, Kevin...
And here's the newly-weds....Justin and his wife, Sacher....They are practically glowing with happiness...awwwwww..
OK, on with the foods...
For starter, Mr Married Man Justin enjoyed a bowl of the Chef's Homemade Wild Mushroom Soup (RM 9.90) with a slice of garlic bread. Perfect to kick-start that appetite.
Mrs Married Woman, Sacher, ordered the Thai Green Chicken Curry (RM 12.90) with a tower of white rice. The gravy was tasty with the mix of spices, but it was not at all chilly-hot.
The green curry looks yummy..but what's with the rice tower?
Her hubby had the Spaghetti Marinara (RM 17.90) - a good portion and was tasty enough for the hungry man. The spaghetti in tomato and basil sauce had muscles (i mean, mussels), prawns and clams.
Well, the happy-as-clam look says it all....
Meanwhile, the other hungry man, Kevin, chose to have the Garden Black Pepper Chicken Chop (RM 17.90). There were two cuts of grilled chicken served with black pepper sauce, French beans and some potatoes. The portion was a bit small for him, and he wished he had ordered some white rice or fragrant nasi lemak rice to make it a more wholesome meal.
Yeah, I'll say it's not enough for a man, let alone a hungry man. OOhh..look at those colorful umbrellas in the background...
And as for the hostess of the night, Veron, she originally ordered the Fish & Chips. But was later told that the fish was not fresh enough to be served and was asked to order something else. (I am truly grateful not to be served with stale fish, she said). Hence she chose to have Deep Fried Breaded Chicken Cutlet (RM 17.90). There were two cuts of crispy boneless chicken cutlets filled with cheese served with mushroom sauce, a salad and French fries.
Her verdict? - YUMMY!
But wait..why there's no photo of you enjoying your meal, Veron?
Well, there you have it....Garden Lifestyle Store & Cafe at The Curve. I wonder why it's called the 'lifestyle store"? It sounds like a supermarket.
Anyway, thank you so much Veron for sharing this with us. The foods truly look delicious...If I were with you guys, I would definitely opt for the green chicken curry, my favourite curry dish.
However, she did have one gripe about the place. According to her, "the open concept of the cafe resulted with many shopping mall patrons constantly walking through the dining area. Despite of the manager making an effort to relocate us to another table and trying to make us comfortable, people were still walking through the area from every corner. There was no sense of privacy and comfort for patrons of the cafe. I think the outdoor area of the cafe should be blocked off to non-diners."
Well, I totally understand how that could be annoying. I have one tip for you, Veron...next time, sprinkle some tacks around your table...That would stop people from coming close. :)
