It was the last day that I get to see a friend of mine. After this, it will be a year before she returns so what I've decided was to go to the airport to send her off. Along with me, I brought along another friend of mine since she missed our gathering the night before and this was her last chance to see the other friend off before her only returning after a year. So I picked her up and off we went to the airport. But unfortunately, when I arrived, there was a long line of cars awaiting to enter the parking area and my friend's parents were anxiously calling her to depart to the departure gate. So I forsake my need to see my friend off for 1 last time before it will be a year till her return and straight went to the departure area and let the friend who was with me to see her off instead. When she returned to my car, she said it wasn't a good feeling sending people off. Ya, not a good feeling isn't it? That's why I cried when I was being sent off by my host family in Japan when I was there. We grew so fondly attached to each other. But then again, I'm a guy who has trouble interacting with humankind in general and that's why I can safely say that I lost most if not all of my friends when I committed social suicide by not being an events blogger anymore. Now that's why I dine alone most of the time because nobody has the time nor the interest to do so with me. Oh well. I guess I brought that onto me. Can't wait to say goodbye to this godforsaken place about 5 years from now.
Anyway, so I duped the friend who was with me to have dinner with me since just sending our friend off would be a waste of an opportunity coming out all the way. Haha. So she suggested that she wanted to try Take Eat Easy which is at Bandar Sri Menjalara. So I just drive according to how Google Maps take me. I was quite down and a little antisocial that day so I mumbled when I replied my friend that night and she had to strain most of the time to understand what I'm saying. LOL. I apologize. I instinctively did it and it wasn't my intention to make it hard to converse with me but I was feeling down. But she kept on talking to me and so I made an effort to reply and talk to her more and more to keep the conversation going. LOL.
We arrived at the place after a long drive and that place looked awfully familiar. It was then I realized that it was Wisma Fiamma with the familiar looking Tesco opposite. I remember coming here a long time back to review Overtime outlet here a long time ago way back. I see that it has now turned into Take Eat Easy. LOL. A big sign indicating Take Eat Easy greets right at the front of the building and since it was Sunday with the many shoppers and people coming out to eat here, I went over at Tesco and parked at the side where it's not a designated parking spot but I made sure that I didn't block anybody's way. So we proceeded indoors to Take Eat Easy.
The place is huge with three entrance doors that upon entering with come to it's bakery section for people to just buy bread and pastry stuff at that area. But since we were there for dinner, we went to beside it where the dining area is with loads of chairs and tables and we were seated by one of the staff. Unlike the Bakery section where it's brightly lit, the dining area has pocket areas of light above each of their tables creating a quite romantic atmosphere because other than your table area, there's darkness on those areas that aren't on a table. We decided on what to order and awaited for our meal. Their juice are contained in a bulb shape container so it's as if you're drinking out of a lightbulb. LOL. And because the shape of a lightbulb can't stand on it's own, it's put in a tub of ice. That is the quickest of them all to arrive. A moderate waiting time later, my Hazelnut Cafe Latte arrived. It gives out quite an overtly weird taste to me and the mixture of the hazelnut syrup taste together with the coffee taste didn't seem to play well with each other. It's as if they were at war. The coffee taste was very, very mild while the hazelnut taste was the most prominent. It however, gives out a smidgen of a sweet taste coming out to play occasionally and that's what weirds me out and bugs me. It's not the kind of coffee that I like.
The food came at a slow snail's pace and it slowly trickled in. The Pasta were the first to arrive but I decided to wait for all of the food to take a nice food shot of everything before I proceeded to dig in. That contributed to a deterioration in taste since a lot of it went cold as we await for everything to arrive. With the last item (or should I say mains since my ice cream is served as a dessert) which was the Pizza arriving at our table, it's time to dig in.
The Pasta which is the Aglio Olio with smoked duck and mushrooms on it was okay and didn't really gave much of an excitement. The smoked duck wasn't the taste I was expecting, It had an oriental taste to it and resembles much of duck that's served more at those Chinese dining locations (think roasted ducks) rather than the smoked duck western version counterpart. The mushroom gave off a very strong taste and it overwhelms the pasta. The pasta in itself were a little spicy but it's just right for me. Their coating with the oil wasn't too much and just right. That's the part that they did right the most. It also comes with 2 breadsticks on it which tasted fine.
The Fried Calamari wasn't much of a squid because I can barely taste the squid. All I tasted was a quite doughy sensation and that envelops the whole taste of this item. Though the condiment that was supposed to be to accompany the Fried Calamari was wasabi mayo dip, I got nothing that tasted like wasabi at all. All I got was mayo and I ate the rest on it's own without the condiment. This wasn't one that I would recommend to order.
Perhaps the best thing of them all that we ordered was the Quadro Pizza. Though it's supposed to contain 4 types of cheese in em and it's supposed to be a "cheesy" pizza (LOL), the cheese taste wasn't that strong at all. But it balances well with the thin crust that's resting upon the hot place. I guess what of the reason why it was best was probably because it's the last item to arrive and therefore the warmest of the food since we started off eating only when everything arrived. LOL. But of course, it is the best among all. Much more worth than the pasta since it's the same price.
Finally, they brought me my dessert which was the ice cream Disco-late which has assorted Mini Gelato Balls with strawberries, peaches, whipped cream and an Oreo cookie on top. Well, it's normal ice cream lah. :)
Ambiance-wise, I would say it's a nice place for a date since it looks so romantic and the lighting above tables beautifies the food's appearance. Other than that, service wasn't all that fantastic but I guess it's cause they had to cover such a wide area and it was dark at certain places so it may be harder to spot a person calling for service when night comes. The armchair seat was really comfortable and to have a pillow for back support as well. You could really fall asleep after a meal if you were to slouch and let yourself slump on the armchair. LOL.
Total Wallet Damage:
Well, altogether including the Juice and Mushroom Soup which I did not try amounts to RM133.75. RM23 for the pasta, RM23 for the pizza, RM16 for the lightbulb looking juice (LOL), RM17 for calamari, RM14.80 for the ice cream, RM12 for the coffee and RM15.80 for the mushroom soup. 10% service charge and 6% GST imposed.
Final Verdict:
6/10. Though it's not a place I'm likely to return since it's at an area where there's loads of different eateries around, I'd still give it a 6 out of 10. It is average and may considered pricey for that kind of taste, but it does have a very nice looking ambiance and with some great company, this is a nice place to have a chatter and get to know someone better. :D
