Just before the start of my 2 weeks holidays extravaganza, I was invited to review this relatively new restaurant + lounge + bar.
The location was The Mix at Holiday Inn Glenmarie Hotel, near Subang and PJ. I've never been there, but it wasn't too hard to find with the GPS.
Here's what is in this tapas:
1. Lamb koftas
2. Prawn yam dumpling
3. Chicken tikka
4. Coconut battered calamari
5. Spinach pancake
6. Vietnamese vegetable wrap
The other pasta, the spaghetti was a lil more traditional (arabiata style with chillies, olives & tomatoes) but still it tasted good. The sauce was just enough not over soaking the noodles.
And just like the fish, the Carribean Chicken was cooked just nice as well. This dish came with roasted vegetables & mashed young potatoes which blended well with the meat.
The final servings were the desserts.. and another round of 'judgement'. Cos a good dessert will end the dinner sweet! (pun intended!).
The verdict: this set of tiramisu, banana toffee pudding, carrot cake & creme brulee is really good.
To me the tiramisu and the creme brulee tops!
Btw we also had a fair share of cocktail drinks that night.
While the food is yummy, but if there's just one thing to come back here for - it has to be the drinks. They are unique, and mixed very well.
It is partly a bar after all - and a good one at it.
Yes, a bar that comes with a live band too! Oh did I mention that they are from the Philippines? Woot!
Okay now this is my overall conclusion:
If you are living in this part of town, I'd say this will be a cool chillout place. The location itself makes it like a lil paradise on its own.. and you can choose to dine or have drinks. Order some unique fusion dish if it's your first time here and a cocktail to go with it. It definitely won't disappoint! :)
