Mr. & Ms Cafe, Ara Damansara

Pretty unique name for a cafe I must say. How did I come to know about this cafe? Well, I patronised it because my son worked there for a short stint while he was waiting for a permanent job.

He told me it was packed daily. My guess, food had to be good or price reasonable or both. So, Rocker57 and I made a trip there.

Service was excellent despite the crowd. All the waiters and waitresses were young, alert and quite knowledgeable about the cafe's food selection. We weren't served by our son as he was waiting at another table by the time we've decided what to eat.

Meantime, while waiting for our food, I looked around. Most of the crowd were below age 40 except for us. The cafe is family friendly as they have several baby chairs ready on standby despite a few tables already having baby chairs for their toddlers. As it was crowded, I didn't dare take too many pictures of the interior for fear of the patrons staring at this elderly lady trying to be 'in' with photo-taking.

This bottle and the cafe's signature logos were placed on each table. Simple yet meaningful. Sums up the whole Mr. & Ms. thingy.

For starters, we had bruschetta pronounced as Bru'sketta. An Italian antipasto or stater dish. Basically, it is grilled bread rubbed with garlic, topped with tomato, salt and pepper. However, Bruschetta does come in many variants eg with cheese, cured meat, beans, etc.


We ordered the creamy mushroom and smoked salmon combination.

Both were really truly delectable. It was finished in a jiffy. Though it is kinda pricey for two small servings but they were generous with the toppings. The crunchy bread blended well with the well-mixed combination. 

They have other variants as well. So, why not go check it out for yourself?

Next, we shared this: Aglio Olio with bacon. 

Everyone who has read my blogs would know that I love and laud the best Aglio Olio I've ever eaten is in Pizza Uno, Taipan.

Well, well, well....what would you know? This comes second!!! Yes, it was really THAT good. Again, generous portion. The pasta was cooked al dante, the right spiciness and not an overdosed of olive oil as served by some other restaurants. 4 Olives and lots of garlic to tantalise the tongue and the mixture sends your fork to dig in for more.

A simple dish but it takes a lot to bring out the full flavour of Aglio Olio. If not enough garlic, the pasta is bland. If too spicy, then the spiciness kills the dish. This pasta was just right.

Finally, we had salad. Can't recall the name. It was another hit for me. The small slices of oranges added the 'oomph' to the salad while the salad dressing gives you a reason to want to want to tug in more mouthfuls. 

All in all, I must say Mr. & Ms. food is something I will return for more. Don't just read about it, go test your tastebuds and then leave a comment or two to see if you concur or disagree with me.
