The chic, vibrant industrial decor of Halfwake Cafe honors the decrepit heritage edifice at Lebuh Melayu well. The run-down edifice was unappealing from the exterior but equally you lot traipse upwards the stairs, it leads you lot to a well-transformed, immature in addition to urban dining space, seemingly perfect for generating eye-catchy Instagram posts. The house is unproblematic equally a cafe, equally elegant equally a restaurant, in addition to equally cool equally a bar. It has an elevated modest phase for alive band functioning which adds a feel of theatre to the overall experience. The bill of fare shows no lackluster, though it proffers express offerings; all of them were painstakingly created. Halfwake Cafe is non without a downside, the house opens on the even out of Fridays, Saturdays in addition to Sundays alone (from half-dozen pm). Nevertheless, it is yet a cool house that all cafe hoppers should grade their attendance, for its composite elements of urban-heritage design.
Sushi Fillet amongst Trio Lemon Butter Sauce (Rm 20) was less-substantial, few pieces of carefully seared Dory Fillet were served amongst their proudly created Trio Lemon Butter Sauce (English Parsley, Tomato in addition to Mayonnaise-like Sauce), roasted Potatoes in addition to fresh Greens dressed amongst Dijon Honey Mustard. The Fish possessed a meaty, house texture sans the undesired fishy sense of savor but it did non attain out to excite me. The sauces were great, sure as shooting intriguing but nosotros would prefer another types of Fish over Dory. The Dijon Honey Mustard was lovely, though it tin live on a picayune monotonous towards the end, the slightly acidic sauces counter balanced the tartness in addition to everything worked good together.
We concluded the repast amongst a satisfying sweetness note. White Chocolate Panna Cotta amongst Banana Caramel Topping (Rm 11) was absolutely delicious, though non equally wobbly equally we'd expected, the Panna Cotta was deliberately seasoned to the correct sweetness in addition to jeweled amongst Banana Caramel too equally squiggles of Chocolate sauce. The amalgamation works, the Banana Caramel introduced a fruity flavor in addition to buttery-nutty texture to the dessert.
