I went to
Reggae Mansion KL again with my friends this time for their set lunch which includes free flow soft drinks - there is a choice of coca-cola, sprite or ice lemon tea; soup of the day, dessert of the day, and a main dish - seafood marinara for MYR15.90 nett or grilled chicken on a hot plate for MYR19.90 nett so I chose the pasta dish. As I do not take soft drinks, I told the waiter, no drinks for me but still he brought me a glass of water which I did not touch at all because the source of the water is not known to me. On hindsight I should have requested him to take back the glass of water.
Soup of the day - mushroom soup with doughy bits in it
Seafood marinara - I like the marinara sauce because of the tomatoes in it but my friend dislikes it and I did not ask her why. The spaghetti is too al dente for me because I like it to be softer and the spaghetti just did not taste like durum wheat pasta to me. I felt it is more like Chinese noodle but then the generous amount of ingredients - 4 prawns, 3 squids, and 3 crab meat balls kind of made up for the taste of the pasta noodle.

Marinara looks good. I always drink water with my meals, big gulp!
ReplyDeletePlain water or other drinks?
DeleteI would go for chicken chop but actually I dont like sizzling plate, makes my hair & clothes smelly, hehe.. I would choose ice lemon tea most of the time..
ReplyDeleteThis is just hot plate, not sizzling. I also don't like those food places that makes the whole person smelling of oil.
Deletenot much choice that comes with free flow soft drink, only pasta or grill chicken to choose from?
ReplyDeletebut well, i'd say for that price is consider a good deal.
For this set lunch, there are always two choices for the main dish and it changes each day. Yes, good deal.
DeleteI can't handle no drinks with my meal, need something to wash down the flavors after each meal. The water is probably fine, they used the same water to cook your dishes anyway, if your dishes is edible, then why not the water, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteYes, most likely same water but those water used to cook the dishes are fully cooked to boiling point. This water in the glass may be straight from the tap (from the water tank), who knows?
DeleteAt a low price of RM15.90 for a drink, soup, main and dessert...we can't really expect much, I guess. When the mushroom soup have doughy bits in it, it's definitely from a can coz that's what happened to me when I make it at home (from a can as some bits just don't dissolve no matter how long I stir).
ReplyDeleteI seldom drink soup from a can so I am not aware of this but most likely you are right.
DeleteI'd be like you and say no thanks to the free flow soft drinks - sugar and water - yuck.
ReplyDeleteI know you prefer wine with your meals, right? :)
DeleteThe pasta looks good but the soup looks so watery. Not creamy
ReplyDeleteThe soup is a bit oily too.
DeleteThe seafood marinara looks pretty good.
ReplyDeleteEspecially the seafood, quite tasty.
Deleteoh that is great and for less than RM20 you have got a soup, a main dish, a dessert and also free-flow of soft drinks!! i will definitely go for it, the dishes actually looks good to me..
ReplyDeletehmmm, too bad you don't drink outside and you also rejected the glass of water given to you because he source of the water is not known?? probably the same water they use to cook the soup and food?? :)
Same water but the water in the food and soup is cooked to boiling point but the water in the glass may be straight from the tap.
DeleteI like the ingredients on the seafood marinara. Delicious seafood in tomato sauce.
ReplyDeleteYou like seafood too?
