Chapter 6

Venue: Casa de Cafe 

I decided to post about this cafe first before I post others is because this cafe just open a week ago and some of you might not know about it yet so, I am here to introduce it to you. ^^  So, yesterday my group of friends wanted to have gathering for one of our friend Bryan who just came back from New Zealand for his holiday. At first, we did not have any idea where to go until Yuan who stayed Kota Laksamana told us that there is a newly open shop nearby his housing area. From that point onwards there's no need for any discussion because trying new places are part of our hobby after all. ^^ 

The cabinet that you can put your shoes in and also if you notice those shoes lying around the floor.

Me and Lee reached late, and was told that the cafe has second floor which has nicer environment compare to the ground floor which looks just like normal cafe but I still like the design of the whole building section of the cafe. Once we arrived, we straight head to the second floor of the cafe because our friends were already there waiting for us. The moment you enter through the entrance of the second floor, we were told that we have to take off our shoes before we could enter. I felt that this idea of taking off our shoes at the entrance is a bit of awkward and will also look messy if the number of shoes are a lot. They do provide cabinet to put your shoes in it but the number of cabinet provided are not enough if there are a lot of customers. The reason we have to take off our shoes is because the seating on that floor is like Japanese restaurant style seating where you take off your shoes and then you sit on the wooden floor. This is to ensure that the place that you are sitting will not get dirty but I felt that this beat the purpose because all the waiter and waitress there did not took off their shoes. They had their shoes on when they serve you but they will not step into the place that the customers sit. So, why don't just allow the customers to wear their shoes until their seat and take them off before they take their sit? This will definitely looks less messy and easier for us to find our shoes (one of the customer forgot which cabinet he had put his shoes in and the waiter had to help him find them.).




You do not need to wear your shoes when you want to go to the toilet as they provide slippers for you before you enter. There are also some soft leather cushion provided for you to sit or lean on to make you feel more comfortable.As I took a look at the menu, I realize the menu is just a few pages and not much choices to choose from (This does not matter if the food and drinks are good ^^).





















Me and Lee had to wait for quite sometime before our order were taken because the service seems to be slow and unorganized.  After that, they even gave me the wrong drink and when asked, one of the waitress said  that it is my drink but I insist her to double check with the bar because I ordered chocolate but that drink smell like coffee to me. Turns out I am right. The drink that was wrongly served was Black Coffee ('Just Black' on the menu) and the waitress apologize to me for the mistake. This kind of mistake can be forgiven as the cafe is only open for a week, so, those workers do not know the name and appearances of the food and drinks on the menu yet I guess.

'Just Black'- The black coffee that was wrongly served

Cafe Latte

This was what Lee ordered. HOT CAFE LATTE. I did not taste it but it looks nice on first glance. 

Extreme Chocolate

This was my order. Extreme Chocolate which cost me RM 7.00. I feel that it is overprice as it taste just like normal iced chocolate and I can get the same taste of drink for RM 3++ or lesser. Other than this drink, I also ordered a Scones which cost me RM 2.20. I had never eat Scones before until that day thus, I don't know whether what I ate was a good Scones or not. ^^ It's like a cookies+cake combination. It tasted a little 'dry' though.






Rating: 6/10




Reviews: For the environment and also the design of the cafe, I would say a good job done. Some of the drinks are kind of over priced to me and also I had yet to try their main dishes so, I cannot comment on the food yet. Overall, this cafe is a new style cafe in Malacca and it's a nice cafe but hopefully the service will improve soon and also the 'shoes rule' will change soon.




Location: It is situated at the newly build shop lots at the T-junction of Kota Laksamana. If you come from Ong Kim Wee towards Kota Laksamana, you will not miss it as it will be on your right hand side. you can see it by the road side.
