went for dinner at na/bins at bali lane the other day. was disappointed for a number of reasons:

1) was misled into believing from their FB site that there’d be bellydancing. ok, nevermind, maaaybe we read or processed the information wrongly. fine.
2) the music was blasting from the moment we sat down, and continued to blast despite our repeated requests to turn it down. fine.
3) the air-con was also blasting, and continued to blast despite our repeated requests to turn it up. by now, we’re like, helloooo, mr foreign-waiter-with-no-expression-and-didn’t-seem-to-understand-us!
4) the food looked good when served (plus we were starrrving by the time it reached us), but discovered that it lacked… oomph after a few spoonfuls. only this appetiser platter wasn’t too bad. we would’ve been sufficiently filled up by sharing this between us and forgetting about the main dishes.

even the birthday girl who treated us left with a “takde dua kali lah tempat ni”. BUT! it was a cosy enough place since we were practically sprawled out in a corner, it wasn’t crowded despite a friday night, and the neighbouring tables pretty much weren’t bothered by our mak-budak-tak-sedar-diri antics and the two children spotted scampering around the place making themselves at home. and yes, we even appointed these two children to be our unofficial photographers. (bagus jugak ada anak.)

    the one at old sultan gate is the one with belly dancing (not pretty dancers tho). but food wise. yeah they served us cold food once. -_-

    HaLo kak Hana! :)
    No belly dancing? I think not all days ada belly dancing. But the other time, I went to Na/bin’s Cafe at Sultan Gate, they have the belly dancing performance on a Friday night. hehe.
    Variety of foods, but scared to order cause takut tak sedap. So ended up eating fish and chips. Haha.
    The one at Bali Lane, isit 1 or 2 storey?
