My attention was further attracted by the live singing that was coming out of a 'piano cage'.
We made a mental note of the place and returned later to give them a try.
I really liked the ambience of the place. Holding true to their garden concept, there were plants, both flowering and non-flowering, everywhere. Perhaps I have the influence of my parents - I seem to prefer places with greenery.
We wondered if the food would be of the same standard as its set up. As our orders were served, we progressively became impressed with not just the food, but also the service of its staff.
While waiting for our mains to be served, we enjoyed a pot of mixed fruit tea (RM12.90).
It tasted a little like sour plum tea and we found out that the most tasteful bit was the bit at the bottom of the pot.
The spaghetti marinara (RM18.90) arrived first. I was impressed with its presentation, and even more so with the fresh tomato and basil sauce. The clams, prawns and mussels were also fresh.
It made me look forward to the Peking duck pasta (RM23.90). When it arrived, my good friend looked at me and asked, "Why did you order pan mee at an Italian restaurant?"
I nearly choked on my tea. "Excuse me, this 'pan mee' here is called linguine, okay?" What I had was linguine cooked in brown sauce with wild spinach and shredded duck slices. Although the duck could have been more tender, it was still a dish that I would not mind having again.
Both of us chocolate maniacs could not resist the temptation of dessert with some amount of chocolate, which led us to decide on a slice of harmony cake (RM8.90).
The blend of hazelnut with orange was refreshing. We thought it went down well with all the other flavours.
How did we feel with our impromptu decision to dine here? All our positive feedback and encouragement were recorded in their feedback form. We left feeling very satisfied.

Having been here before, the food is not too bad but I did not try any dessert and the ones you have shared looks really good.
