DCOVA cafe.
11:25 PM
It's not a usual thing for my family to go all the way to town for dinner on a weekend but my dad was pretty excited about this new place he heard from his colleagues. So all right, we went all the way to Bishop Street which takes about 30 mins roughly (I live near Teluk Kumbar) XD and then we found the place easily. It was located in between The Cruises Steakhouse and Traffic.
It looked really nice, with the domed-roof and the crawling money plants that just adds to the western feel. Apparently, it's French. I think. Okay I'm not too sure either. Anyhow, we went in and the cafe's pretty small but we managed to get a tiny table for the three of us. We arrived just on time because people started filing in moments later. Prices were reasonable. No dish was above RM 20, which was quite surprising for a cafe. Coffees were priced at about RM 10, per usual.
We were all wondering how we were gonna eat properly because the table was so small and the plates were pretty huge. Turns out we didn't have to worry about that because they served us so slowly that the dishes came out one by one. As in, the first dish came, and we finished it. Then the second, and the third followed. All after we've finished each dish. I've heard that the cheese baked rice was good but they told us it was sold old. The selections on the menu was limited so we just ordered three different pastas. There were only about 5 tables in the cafe but the service was pretty bad. They took about 40 minutes to serve the first dish.
The Carbonara.
Served with a raw egg on top of it. Pretty nice. The cream was just of the right blend so it doesn't taste too sticky. Add in a dash of salt and pepper to taste and it turns out not bad.
Prawn Aglio Olio.
As an Aglio olio fan myself, of course I wanna try this! XD I practically try aglio olio anywhere that serves them. It's spicy, which is good. But the prawns were not seasoned thoroughly enough. It could've used a sprinkle of cheddar on top because that's how I would like it better.
Bacon al Dente.
Didn't enjoy this dish much. Nothing special about it and we were all quite agitated by the way they served one dish at a time only. We didn't even bother trying the desserts because the surroundings were getting too noisy and my mum wanted to leave already. Not my most pleasant cafe dining experience, I would say. I doubt I'll go back. :/
