So, because i absolutely cannot commit myself to baking every week or so, i thought i would post about food places i’ve visited.
Not too long back, i visited this halal-swedish cafe, beautifully decorated, all white and clean and airy called Fika. Thinking it was just-another-bistro in Arab Street with numerous tables available (it was 5pm on a Lazy Sunday), we didnt make a reservation and barged right in. They were fully booked for dinner but were willing to offer us a table in the restaurant for 2 hours (there was outdoor seating by the roadside as well, not my cup of tea), till 7pm to have our dinner. We thought, why not?
We ordered grilled chicken and swedish meatballs for our meal, fruit soda (strawberry), pear cider for drinks and a chocolate cheesecake for dessert.
I found the grilled chicken undercooked, the meatballs overcooked and the drinks so-so. The chocolate cheesecake was an overkill but delish(impossible to finish unless shared) and we were absolutely stuffed at the end of the meal. I personally feel that a nice coffee +cake would have sufficed, but I’m glad we tried the food nonetheless.
Our bill came up to approximately 64 bucks. I will leave it to you to be the judge on whether it was too high/low a price to pay or not. The service was so-so. Was particularly pissed with a waiter who asked if we were serious about wanting to have some chilli sauce on the side. It may not have been proper etiquette if we were eating in a high-end restaurant, but for God’s sake, it’s a Cafe!
Apart from that, everyone else was pleasant. It’s a nice place to go to for a meet-up over coffee or a family dinner.
