Little Cottage

Well I guess we had quite enough of Malay cuisines these days. How about some western twist? Welcome down to Little Cottage, where the Cottage is located along Burmah Road, very near to New World Park. They serve lunches and dinners. Lunch sets are really affordable, no kidding. Dinners here are romantic. Just watch your steps if you decide to sit upstairs, the flight of stairs seems to be tailored for the dainty-footed.

With the name Little Cottage, there must be some edge to make it look like one at least. The red and white chequered tablecloth and the cream coloured cushions are one of those little details that makes this place feel so homey.

The owner even took the trouble to put in some personal touch to the place. There is a little corner beside every table which has a different decor. It exudes a sense of cosiness, personality, and creativity. There use to be more little items as such in this place, mostly dainty wood carvings or clay miniatures. I guess some petty thieves reduced the owner's generosity to display his cute collectable items. I do recognize many of these items being bought from different countries because it is a rarity to be found here in Malaysia unless it is a souvenir given or self-made.
Its lunch time, so the both of us picked up a set lunch rather than going ala-carte. Its a 3 course meal for less than RM20, totally superb. First on is the soup of the day. Today, we're having sweet onion soup. Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside after that...

Bread and butter to go with the soup

And her choice of the day would be fish and chips. The usual dory fish fillet, with tartar sauce consisting of pickled carrots and cucumbers (if my tastebuds weren't wrong). Unique tartar sauce, compared to those usually consisting of garlics and onions.

My choice of the day - Turkey ham! It used to be a whole chunk of grilled lean treated turkey meat. They changed the way the dish is done many moons ago by grounding the turkey ham into fine bits and compressing it into the size and shape of a french toast. The grilled pineapple topping finishes the dish nicely. Mashed potato and boiled vegetables as a side dish with tartar sauce for dippings.

Dessert of the day is Coconut pudding. A tinge too sweet for me, but the coconut fragrance is undeniably appetizing.

We washed our pallette with a cup of tea/coffee, rubbed our bellies and ended our meal with a satisfying grin. XD How is that for narration? A perfect place for quick, economical yet classy lunches indeed. Mm... I remember seeing a hot hunk waiter somewhere... Shall keep all the single ladies out there updated. *winks*
