Yume Cuisine, Tropicana City Mall

I’ve always referred to this restaurant as the Sponge Bob restaurant as you can easily spot it due to the Sponge Bob T-shirt hanging next door. I was told that the owner actually started off with a business in fashion and accessories but then decided to give food a try.

Our drinks  -coconut (RM6) , grape juice (RM6.90)  & herbal tea (RM3):-

Special rice noodle (RM18) – well, with a name like this I expected the noodles to have some oomph..and yes, it certainly did have something special. The noodles were firm and the soup was tasty. Love it!

Special sweet and sour pork (RM18) – what makes this dish so unique is the fact that it is served in ice. I have often wondered what ice & a piping hot dish like this would turn out to be – and…well, it turned out to be truly delicious and I would highly recommend it.

Broccoli (RM12) – one can never go wrong with this dish…hence I’ve no complaints about it.

Stir fried escargot with celery (RM20) – I’ve always loved escargots (read : cooked Western style)  but this version, which was spicy was a first for me and I would say it was surprisingly yummy.

Prawns in dragon fruit (RM30) – prawns cooked with dragon fruit and served in just the skin of the fruit – frankly, I’ve never come across this dish before and the first bite already told me that this would be a dish I can eat anytime, anywhere.

Steamed bean curd with minced pork and prawns (RM12) – despite its rather simple presentation, this dish was very appetising.

All in all I would sum up the food here as excellent!

Papa’s Café, Tropicana City Mall

What drew me in to Papa’s Café was the spanking white walls which instantaneously gave me the impression of an impeccably  clean eatery.

Cincau ice (RM3.50) and barley. The barley drink came in a set together with the sang mee set priced at RM9.90.

Vanilla milk shake (RM7.90) and strawberry milk shake (RM7.90) – I would say Papa’s Café serves one of the better milk shakes. I can vouch for this as I am a HUGE fan of milkshakes!

This is the sang mee which I mentioned earlier. It comes with a generous amount of cabbage and fish cake. The springy noodles were yummy.

Nasi lemak ayam (RM9.90) – with the usual compliments of peanuts, cucumber slices, anchovies, sambal, hard boiled eggs and a chicken thigh, this nasi lemak was just alright.

Salmon steak (RM25.90) – I would call this a salmon steak with a difference. Served with fries, cucumber slices and some mushrooms and sweet peas, I found this rather interesting. The salmon was fully coated in sauce..and that would be my only complaint of this dish –would prefer if the gravy/sauce is served separately.

This is called papa’s kiddo (RM9.90) – a platter meant for kids. With the usual kiddie stuff such as sausage, fried eggs, sliced cucumber, hash brown and some fries, this dish made a good breakfast.
