Station 1 Cafe @ Niu Zhe Xui

Last nite, I had dinner at Station 1 Cafe।Is a newly open cafe at Ara Damansara. Serve local & western cuisine. Is a pork free restaurant.

Nice environment/decor. Ample parking space. And I understand that there are band singing every nite from 10pm. Is a 3 pcs band. They are youngsters and stepping their foot in the music industry. They have passion for music. You may do a song request .They have got quite a variety of food & fancy drinks

Anyway, back to the food. I ordered Pan fried Cod fish & my other half ordered a nasi lemak with chicken curry + 1 glass of apple juice. Food came within 20 min.To my surprise the cod is very small portion. The fish pan fried till the outer layer is crisp.(looks like deep fried fish) serves with mashed potato, coleslaw, & small corn. The fish is nothing to shout about, mashed potato taste like some hospital medication, corn ok and coleslaw ok. May be this is not their specialty

Secondly the nasi lemak with curry chicken....ummm the nasi is very good & rich। Can taste the coconut. It taste great even without the sambal. The sambal was a bit disappointing...no ummmph! The chicken curry is so so only. May be Penang people like me who has strong taste bud won't like it cos is neither here or there. The spices used are not enough to get good taste & aroma.The ikan bilis was hard & dunno why must they use that fat & thick ikan bilis (Anchovies). Prefer the thin & crispy ikan bilis. The sunny side up eeg was ....err egg yold was spoilt .And the edge of the egg was burnt or the use the used oil to fry it or the oil is dirty...something like that.They include a muar otak otak which is not necessary, don't taste good at all

Food presentation needs improvement. Service is good. I obeserved some ppl request their ice lemon tea for extra syrup cos is bitter and some table request to change the soup...dunno why.
Apple juice was a bit salty...dunno why.May be to keep them from turning brown??? but a pinch is enough..I believe.

Well, they are fairly new, need to give them sometime for improvement if they take the biz seriously.They have got a good crowd daily but they will loose the crowd if the don't buck up on their food.
I will give them another chance , perhaps few more months down the road, I will give it a try again।
