After walking around Parkway Parade, my friends and I have came to conclude that this looked like a pretty decent dining place for us and there we went.

We waited at the entrance for quite a while before a waiter came over to bring us to our seats. I thought that it is a standard practice for restaurants to inform their customers of their soup of the day. This place just failed to do so. Not so much that it is important, it took us quite a while again to get the attention of the staff so that we can check out what's the soup of the day. Mind you, this is a not a big restaurant, just a small cafe size eating place with 4-5 staffs around and the place was not even fully packed with customers! Like what my friend had commented, all the staff here put on a long face, hardly any smile on their face with the exception of one waiter.

Oh yes, having said so much, I've not even talked about their food. Besides the ala carte menu, they provide all-day set meals which have been grouped into 3 categories - Executive set ($13.80), Gourmet set ($19.80) and for the last one, I can't recall the name but it costs $20.80. Each set comes with free-flow of bread, soup of the day main course and a coffee or tea.

We ordered 2 seafood pasta, one with tomato sauce while the other aglio olio and a caesar salad.

The bread was available at their bread counter and all for you to cut. There's even a toaster for you to toast your bread. The bread tasted ok, not too dry to eat on its own. In fact, I would say that the bread tasted so much better than their main course. Soup of the day was cream of seafood. I didn't find much seafood in the soup, just alot of potato & carrot. Hmm...

After a long wait, finally came our main course! Too bad, it was a real disappointment! Spaghetti was very salty for both the aglio olio & tomato based pasta. Clams were salty too, prawns & crayfish were overcooked.

During our hour-long stay in the cafe, we met the one & only friendly staff who was concerned with our dining experience there. I guess that's the only saving grace for the cafe which is seriously worthy of that one star from me.
