Last Sun, we went to Zac Cafe.
It was a last minute decision. Not our first choice ya but it was raining and Victory was closed, Zam Zam was closed and Koh Nangkam was super crowded.
We then walked the short distance to Deli Moroccan. Deli Moroccan was crowded TOO!!!
Deli Moroccan prepared food upon order and their small kitchen can only fit 2 chefs. Based on our experience, Deli Moroccan + rainy days + full house = very very very long wait.
As we were both hungry and we don't want to wait for long, off to Zac's we went.
It was our first time to Zac Cafe at this new location. Previously It was located at Jalan Pinang.
We opted for non aircon table near the entrance, but still sheltered from the rain. From where we were seated we can see the indoor dining space. Their new cafe is nicely decorated. Shelves lining a side of the walls and there's a staircase leading to upper floor. It's not exactly busting with eaters but there were steady streams of diners walking in.
Their wait staffs were attentive. I can't recall if they served the same stuffs as their previous location, but quite a number of items on the menu were not available. I think it's been taken out from the menu. Reason I think so is because the serial numbers beside the menu are covered by small stickers. We didn't know, so for appetiser, we ordered Samosas and Onion soup and was told it's not on the menu.
I then ordered Minestrone.... the guy came back and said apologetically they were out of Minestrone too :-( . I must look disappointed cos he then offered us complimentary Harira soup :-) Alhamdulilah.
So, for starter, we had Harira soup and Stuff Filo pastry Greek Style.
Their Harira soup is quite tasty. The vege and meat in bite size chunks. I like their Harira soup better than Nabin's.
Sorry no picture of the soup. We were hungry la.... :-)
Everything u see below cost $72 which is pretty steep but, cheaper than Nabin's
Next is the Stuff Filo pastry... greek style. Stuffed with Spinach and Feta cheese. Its buttery and yummy.. Eat it while still warm.
For main, Hubby ordered Lamb Bamya.. It's ok I guess. Hubby said, nothing special.
Accompanied by rice ..
Rib Eye steak. Portion is huge. I can only finish half of the meat and half of the sides. Hubby helped me to finish the rest.
I didn't pour the sauce as I want to enjoy the actual taste of the meat.
The meat marinate itself was quite flavourful. It was marinated with spices middle east syle??
I asked for medium and the meat came almost well done. I can't hardly see the pinkish meat and took me a bit of effort to cut through. It's still quite tender though but need quite a bit of effort to chew. If this came as Medium done as requested, I think I would enjoy my main more.
Hubby's Dessert. Tiramisu. Personally for Tiramisu, I like stronger coffee taste.. so this is not to my taste but we finish this off. Hungry ey!
My Dessert. Strawberry something la.. Those who enjoy really sweet stuffs may like this. The base is too sweet for me.
Will we be back? For $72, Hubby said nope unless all our regular makan place at Arab Street are closed or full. He is not an easy person to please kekeke. For me, I don't mind another return trip. This time, I'm bringing my team.
ps:
1. I'm not Zac Cafe fan but i'm Zac Meat fan hahaha
2. I realise, there is no posting on Nabin's, Koh Nangkam, Hara's restaurant, the now closed Gourmet Port and etc etc etc. For someone with a smart phone, I sure am taking my own sweet time updating.
