Verdict: 2/2 of us will return!

1. The scallop appetiser was really something different from the usual in a good way, if you like creamy sauces 🙂 Scallop was well cooked => not too raw that it is too mushy and not too over cooked that it tastes like rubber. 

2. Mains:
Seafood linguine was really flavourful. The sauce was not too saltish and overall had an impactful seafood flavour. Linguine was al dente and seafood was really fresh and plentiful. 
Pork Medallion : the first time that I am eating it medium rare – I always thought pork should be cooked till well done . It was really succulent and didn’t have that raw porky after taste. This cooking style was recommended by the friendly waitress and no turning back for me. 

3. Desserts:
was really just nice to share after the filling mains 🙂 . Crispy on the outside, molten in the inside 🙂 

4. Others: 
For one, service here is very good. We did not have a reservation but the waitresses and waiters attended to us very quickly and keep coming back to check in on our progress throughout the meal.

I have been here for the dessert before and didn’t have the chance to try the mains

I would highly recommend the death by chocolate  cake and caramel brioche 🙂

Apart from it being quite out of the way, the ambience here is pretty different from the usual Cafes. Located near a horse stable, you do get whiffs of horse poo, but other than that, it is very nice to chillax and catch up with friends. Very nice breeze (minus smell – depending where you sit also) at night 🙂
Dessert is really awesome, especially chocolate lovers who are looking for a greedy indulgence ( it is huge! just a heads up)
Mains were also good. We could not finish not because it sucked, but just slightly too much :p
would want to come back and try the brunch!!

Al-Ameen

Friends and I have been into Pool lately. .. so the loser team will buy the winning team supper 🙂

Fortunately for me, I have a good partner, and we got treated to supper 🙂

we trudged to the only open eating places – namely the stretch of restaurants opposite beauty world for our supper treat .. and we went to Al-Ameen.

Teh Chinno, Teh Halia and Ice Teh

 

Roti Prata , eggs and onion, plain, eggs

Tissue Prata

Roti Bomb ❤

 

I think its quite a not bad over all prata place to be, and also because it opens till late 🙂 although I must say my encounter this particular day, there was quite a sneaky old man that kept casting looks at us all .. which was abit disturbing .. But I would return for the Roti bomb 🙂 and the teh chino
