Hot Point Cafe & Restaurant

After a bit of cloth-hunting with my gal pal to find prospective colours for the bridesmaid clothes, we decided to shop around in The Mall until we were a tad hungry and decided to give this new place a shot: Hot Point Cafe & Restaurant

This be the signboard of the restaurant. It's situated within The Mall in Gadong, and if I'm not mistaken, it's situated on the first floor at the corner side of the area. This would be my first time being in this restaurant since it opened a few months ago.

This be the flashy menu board outside the entrance. Lucky for me, I managed to capture it when it was still bright for that split second

This be the interior of the restaurant, equipped with outdoor dining at the balcony area that overlooks the district of Gadong. It does have that cafe kind of feel, a bit retro and not too high-class that would give off that sort of illusion. The waiters and waitresses noticed that I was taking photos and seemed to have whipped out their own cameras to take random pictures. Tsk, talk about kiasu~! The seats at the main dining area seemed to be arranged in a way that they have booked it for a function or something, which later on, we were right as someone is celebrating their birthday

This be my gal pal's drink, which is iced lemon tea. Interestingly that it was actually served in some sort of mug that looks almost like it is a cross-over between a jug and a jam jar. Or maybe it was a jam jar or some kind of jar recycled to be made as a drinking mug

Technically this was supposed to be my drink but it turned out to be a cooler dessert instead. I ordered cendol, and from where I come from, cendol is usually served in a cup like a smoothie, but here, they served it like an ABC, so yeah, I had to drink through a bowl instead of a cup. Meh~!

My gal pal ordered butter chicken with rice, and it looked really nice and creamy. She claimed that she had something Western during the day, so she was going for something Asian, while I was the other way round. LOL! She let me have the veggies that she didn't like and I can really taste the creamy butteriness of the sauce. Mmm~!

I ordered fish and chips, just as I always do when I sample Western cuisines in new areas. one thing was for sure: their fish was not one of those frozen in a packet kind, but the fresh one because I can tell from eating the fish alone. Fish from frozen packets would taste a little dry, while this is juicy and succulent. And their coleslaw was pretty fresh too, so fresh that I can still taste and smell the lingering onions on me!

There you have it. Hot Point. It's a good place to enjoy affordable cuisines in a cafe environment. Just nice. Worth a shot.
