Above average fare @ Lemongrass Cafe, Bkt Jalil

An Everyday deal offered a 3-course meal plus drink for RM19.90 per person.   Service and staff were average but the restaurant manager was very helpful and keen to please.  The meal consisted of:

Starter: Fried Veggie Fish Cake  (tasty and non-spicy, it was served with Thai sweet chili sauce)

Mains: Barbeque Quarter Chicken with BBQ Sauce (the BBQ sauce was very tasty but the chicken was mildly flavoured and bony)

 

 

Dessert: Double Scoop Ice Cream (no biggie here – just the run of the mill chocolate and strawberry ice-cream)

Drink: Lemongrass Signature (ahhhh…a most welcomed refreshment on a warm day.  The blend in this signature mix hit the right spot!  Not too mild and not too strong – a must try).

 

Verdict:  At RM19.90, the deal was slightly cheaper than individual items on the menu.  However, there were ongoing meal sets which were similar to this Everyday promotion and which did not require reservations nor prepayment.  The outlet is worth a visit if one is willing to fork out RM20-30 for a basic meal with a thirst quencher. 

 

While at the Lemongrass, we also sampled:

Chicken chop rice with sambal (tasty but ordinary).

Nissin noodle with egg. vegetable, seaweed and sausage (this was interesting.  The soup was tastier than our regular homemade version. I’m guessing it’s due to the amount of MSG added)

 

Tuna sandwich (a simple fuss-free snack)
