A cosy place to eat

There is something seriously wrong with BSC of late. I suspect the refurbishment of the place has made it more popular. You would be very fortunate indeed if you found a place to park at the level that you enter. And anyone who's been there recently will agree with me ( surely ) that the annex parking looks narrow and unpleasant. Granted the walls are freshly painted and they place a couple of guards there. For safety I suppose. And so yesterday evening, I resisted the temptation to go around in circles waiting for a decent spot and chose instead to go down and down. 

Earlier in the evening, we( a group of folks and I ) had scoffed some popiahs for tea. I must have eaten at least 5-6 of them popiahs. Wasn't looking forward to dinner with a full stomach but that problem was solved by the rather long wait at Alexis for dinner. Alls well that ends well. Picture is of a scene to my right as I ate dinner. Perfect lightning and I especially like the privacy of the pseudo walls. 

A selection of food from Alexis

Fried Mee Hoon. ( the taste is forgettable.)

Stuffed squid. It has a posh name. It took a whole 3 minutes to adjust to the rubbery texture. In fact I've just decided I don't like this very much. Probably won't order it again. Ever!

Mushrooms with balsamic vinegar. I guess this was ok.Can't think of anything else to write about it.Except maybe that I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would. Disappointing. I couldn't tell you what I expected so it wasn't that it didn't live up to expectations. More that it failed to leave a nice warm feeling as I chomped my way through this. It left no feeling at all. 

Now THIS you must try. None of the soggy half crunch crap you're served in most restaurants. This is crunchy, piping hot and the stuffing is yummy.The sauce they served it with could be better. I have a personal preference for the Maggi Chilli Garlic sauce. YUM!

Burger...Alexis style. It has blue cheese in it so what's there not to like. I would have it again. In fact I nearly did last night, but I chose the steak sandwich instead. Don't ask me why. 

This is the steak sandwich. Comes with nice hefty sized wedges in a bowl. If you plan to have this, don't ask for the steak to be well done. My jaws ached when I got home and I wondered why..until now.

Very nice. I remember now, when I was eating it, I thought it was nicer than Madame Kwan's version. All pictures are taken at Alexis at Bangsar Shopping Centre. Which has since been  refurbished. Parking was next to impossible yesterday evening. I took 25 minutes ( possibly less in actual fact but oh boy it felt THAT long). to get a spot. The refurbishment includes an annexed off carpark which is where I parked.
