Breeks Cafe @ IOI Mall, Puchong

Posted by Taufulou | Labels: , , , , , , | Posted On Thursday, April 22, 2010 at 12:06 AM

One of the day, where we were pretty bored with our canteen food, so we decided to go out hunting for lunch again, that had landed me one of the newly open IOI mall new wing. It has been ages since I last step into this mall, but as it was not far from my company and one of my colleagues mention that the set lunch in Breeks café is quite worth it and landed us here for the food. They do have one branch in Penang at Gurney Plaza but their menu had never temp me try it out.

Their set lunch comes with types of drinks to choose from and we order the whole range of it. 'Ices Strawberry Lemon, Iced Passion Fruit Tea, Iced Lemon Tea'

Breeks (3)

with 'Soup of the Day' tasted so so. .

Breeks (4)

'Mozzie Balls' were pretty good, with mozarella cheeze in it. RM6.90

Breeks (5)

Next was the serving of 'Chicken Patties Melted' with cheeze covers on top and dip with the sauce given, taste not bad but it feels more like ramlee burger syle. RM19.90

Breeks (7)

'Grilled Chicken Chop' at least it taste a bit better that its fried with some marinated herbs taste. RM19.90

'Grilled Chicken Chop' RM19.90

'Lasagna' was not up to my expectation as I find the layer in between the filling is thick and flour taste is there.

Most of the time when I drive around, my eyes seems to be like very kaypo, will scout around what is around the area. One is for me to remember it so in the future if I need to go to that area I know what I can tell people or I can go there easily. Second would be hunting for food to eat and this restaurant had always caught my attention when I always travel back from 1-U area back to KL as its well lit up at night and with its dim classic look, and told myself it’s a place must hunt and try.

Not until recently, I got a called from my friend Ee Lune, invite me to help her photo shoot for that restaurant, hopefully the owner accept it. At first I do not know what restaurant is that not until I got the information about, Google it and get all excited when know its that restaurant.

I love their restaurant setting with a bit old English style setting lit with orangey dim light that is very relaxing. A cup of beer in this restaurant is a must that I did not miss. Besides this area, on the upstairs they have a pool table and a mini bar perfect for those who love to watch soccer.

The first serving of the day is ‘Mixed Grill’ which was serve in a huge plate and its full of ingredients, comes with sausage, lamb, beef, grill chicken and prawns. Its hard to shoot at first by takes me a while to find the right angle and this is the shot.

With its generous serving and comes with the price sure is no complain about it. Well prepared and it the best is the lamb, grill perfectly soft and tender and dip with the thick mint sauce is good.

Castell (10)

RM39

Castell (4)

Next is my choice of the day, ‘Stilton Special’ which is marinated in special sauce and grill it to perfection on medium as I prefer it topped with beef bacon and blue stilton cheese. The meat is so tender and juicy yet once cut it the juice flow out and wet the whole plate. Cut it into small slices spread the cheese on top and with another small cut of bacon eat together is top notch. If I have a glass of red wine, it would make me fly!

Highly recommended!

Castell (7)

One of the signature dish in the restaurant is this huge big bone and meat ‘US Prime Rib’ served with steam potato with mince meat, corn and fresh salad. It is a huge bone with a huge slab of meat. Deeply marinated and grill on well control griller makes the meat juicy and tender, dip with their home made special sauce, I just would not mind to have this whole plate by myself.

Castell (12)

To end the great meal must come with a desert, 'Coffee Hot Fudge' RM12.90

Castell (13)

Castell (14)

'Hazelnut Friands' RM8.90

After the whole shooting, I get to taste on the dish that they have prepared. Certainly the dish here is top-quality and I do not mind to come here again for second round becauseeeeeeee they have:

Happy Hour 3pm-8pm

Tiger BeerRM9 (per glass), RM30 (per Jug)
Guinness draftRM20 (1 pint), RM50 (3 pint)

The restaurant is overshadowing by the overhead bridge in front of it. Therefore not many people do drop by and currently its they have a new owner.

Starter of the night start of with 'Sauteed Sausage with Ikan Bilis (with Cili Padi)' Just love the taste of the solid sausage meat that blend in well with the crispy small little ikan bilis yet it’s a lil bit spicy that bring the taste more outstanding. I just finish this plate by myself.

One of the star of the night is ‘Black Pepper Seafood Udon (spicy)’. Not too strong black pepper sauce taste yet solid springy udon that did not overcook yet with wok hei is something we enjoy eating. This udon went manage to go only half of the table. RM16.90

Societea (22)

In pasta, ‘Creamy Mushroom Pasta (Mushroom Carbonara)’ is always my most preferred choice. Fried till a bit dry yet can still enjoy the stickiness of the sauce on the pasta that is a bit creamy, cheesy and not too strong of milk taste that suits everyone on the table. RM13.90

Another dish that were highly praised by the rest as I did not manage to try it out is ‘Aglio Olio with Prawns’ – flavoured with extra virgin olive oil, herbs and a sprinkle of paprika. Something which is simple yet they can make it tasty. RM13.90

The smell of the lemon sauce on the fish flying around our nose trill already making us want to eat it, the fish meat was cook till very soft which is fresh yet the sauce is just perfect to bring up the taste of it. ‘Pan-grilled Dory fillet slathered with Honey Lemon Mustard Sauce, (which is a blend of wholegrain mustard with honey and lemon juice). No salt or sugar added here so the dish is even good for diabetics.

Societea (25)

In this shop, I just love their ‘Lamb Chop in Black-pepper Sauce’ juicy tender meat of lamb that is well balance part of fats and meat with the black peper sauce just bring the extra umph in the meat. RM18.90

Societea (27)

Well fried on the edge and on the skin of the chicken yet the meat is soft inside that shower with brown sauce is hard to resist. ‘Chicken Chop in Brown Sauce’ .
