CheezBox Cafe & Restaurant

We finished watching Iron Man 2 on that day and we have yet to have dinner so we decided to eat at the closest place, which is CheezBox.

This be the signboard and outward look of the restaurant. It's situated just right beside The Mall. Just set foot outside at the main entrance and pass the drink shop Chill and you are totally there. It's fairly new, roughly about 1 or 2 years old, I suppose. The rave about this place is that it sells all sorts of food, mostly western, at a cheap and very affordable price.


This be the outdoor dining of the place, although no one seem to want to sit there and enjoy free TV and stuff, and the workers there didn't even bother to turn on the lights. Typical Bruneians, unable to take the heat and always wanting to have air-conditioning...

This is the stairways upstairs to the indoor dining





This be the interior of the restaurant. Nice, retro style and slightly reminds me of being in Coffee Bean or something, or maybe one of those fancy retro dining club in the '70s or something. There's free internet access, though they're still using the frickin' old Internet Explorer version rather than the new one, and the internet line is really, really, REALLY slow, so I don't even bother anyways.

Here's our drinks. Both of us asked for milk tea, though I totally forgot what flavour my hubby ordered. All I know is that it is a cold drink, while I ordered a hot one, which is chocolate milk tea, just without the jelly pearls

This is what I ordered: Lamb shanks with mash potatoes and boiled vegetables. They were generous on the potatoes but not the veggie, though the meat was actually pretty huge, though it's technically mostly bones, I suppose. The meat is nice and tender, and at least I'm not having trouble trying to eat it since it slides off the bone pretty smoothly, though some get caught in the edges


This is my hubby's order: medium rare steak with mushroom (or was it black pepper?) along with potato-in-a-jacket and boiled veggie. To be honest, his steak really bloody small, and in fact my hubby got a little jealous seeing my lamb shanks compared to his little itty-bitty one. The potato itself is bigger than the steak. LOL! I tried a bit and it tasted pretty good, though I think I enjoyed my lamb shanks more.

So, got a craving for western food but a little tight in the pocket? Go to this place to try it out. Nice and affordable. Worth the money.
