What do you say you wanna eat? Cafe! Where are we now? Rara! Smiley face emoji asks us to try rara in Bandau. She suddenly felt the need to try a cafe. As expected, this cafe price is going to hurt my wallet. 75 ringgit, 2 drinks, 2 dish. She always order ice chocolate in cafe and it always turns out super underwhelming. It tastes like Dutch lady with half a packet of instant chocolate that you get from supermarket. For 14 ringgit, it's a 3. Iced cappuccino, why is it like water with roasted beans dumping? I expected it to be foamy, slightly thick and silky. I'm definitely not ordering this again. This is literally called the plain waffle, but it has more taste than the 2 drinks before. That statement is still not as heartbreaking as the freshness of this waffle. The eggy flavour that I love from waffles had an off-taste on this one. Much better options for 2 to 3 times less, 4.5. At this point, I thought this 32 ringgit sandwich was the final nail in the coffin to never try overpriced cafes again. That is until my girlfriend showed her what the hell did I just eat face. And after taking a bite of my own, my face says it all. That silent wow translates to how melt in your mouth that beef is and the cheese cheesier than my girlfriend's pickup lines. The toast was fluffy, crispy. You can taste everything and everything tastes good. Easily an 8.7. And BB how dare you say I dress like this? I would never. I am my own person. I have a unique style.
