Gripps Cafe

Sorry for the long non-update. As you can read from my personal blog, I'm officially pregnant and had been bedridden for the past few months due to morning sickness. And as morning sickness goes, obviously I can't really eat that well, but it doesn't mean I don't try.

My gal pal asked me out for a lunch date, and since it's always hard to go out with her due to her busy schedule, I agreed, despite the fact that I'm prolly gonna hurl my guts out after that. So we went down to Gripps Cafe

Location: In the Kiulap area, just right next to the Lemongrass Thai Restaurant

Setting: Typical local cafe kinda feel, with a bit of Asia and Western mesh into it
Atmosphere: 6.5/10 (nice with the usual hustle-bustle of customers during lunch hour)
Design: 5.5/10 (just the right size and space for people to be in, though despite saying that it has a Asian/Western mesh feel to it, it's leaning more towards Asian, or maybe even slightly Filipino)

Drinks: Carrot juice (mine) and 7Up (my gal pal)
Presentation: 5.5/10 respectively
Taste: 6.5/10 for my carrot juice (tastes pretty fresh, but kinda weird me out to think that they charge more if you request for your drink to be ice-less)

Food: Apple butter chicken (my gal pal) and wa tan ho (mine)
Presentation: 7/10 respectively (big portion and delicious-looking, though I wouldn't eat those green apples even if my life depends on it)
Taste: 7.5/10 (mine, rich thick sauce and nice big portion, just the way I like it) and 6/10 (my gal pal, coz I tasted the sauce) respectively

It's a pretty good place mostly to chill. This cafe has been around for quite some time now, even since before I was even here in Brunei, and the first time I came here it gave me the impression of a place where mostly youngsters hang about. A pretty good place to relax and grab a bite, so recommendable.
