RE:LEX

It has been a very hectic week for me, and for some of you guys im sure! So now its time to RE:LEX during the weekend!

What am i talking about??? There’s a new shopping mall opened in Subang Jaya, just behind the Subang Parade mall, which is called the Empire Shopping Gallery. Its a more high class mall compared to IOI mall or Subang Parade. Lots of upmarket shops there and also a good place to lepak!

In this mall, there is a brand new IT centre called LEX ( Lifestyle Electronics eXperiencial centre). Can you really find good food amongst a bunch of plastic and metal objects? Well you can!

The cafe in the store is called RE:LEX. Suitable name right?

The cafe just takes up a small portion of the area. It serves western and local food as well. There is plenty of room to kick back and relax in this gadget jungle. The owner of a cafe is a friend of mine who has went to Europe to study culinary arts so I expect the western food to be the BOMB.

Just a foot note, I will not be biased in the review and will be 100% objective in reviewing this place. Ill also be abit long winded in this review today cause there is just so much to say :D.

Firstly, lets take a look around, the ambience. There is a huge huge amount of room to roam about and mess around. There are 3 little rooms where you can just place console games for free! Also there is an empty space above that is suitable for group discussions and cell group meetings! Surround you is a beautiful scenery through the huge glass windows, and also a Mac, HP , Nokia and computer store!

Moment of truth , the food!

1. Lamb Chops with Fries for RM16.90.

Honestly, its abit pricey but the portion you get is huge! Worth your while. 3 pieces of lamb :D

The lamb is cooked well, not tough, falls off the bone well, and it is served with mint sauce!

Fries today was abit salty but I think it might just be the chef’s mood today? Anyhow the fries are really really good, sorta like TGI Fridays kinda fries.

2. Roast Chicken @  RM13.90

You get half a chicken for RM13.90 , reasonable .

The chicken is cooked with rosemary and other herbs, the meat is tender, the herb taste is well done.

Served with a side of mash potato dressed in a mushroom type of sauce

3. Mushroom soup @ RM4.90

 

I <3 MUSHROOM SOUP. PERIOD.

This soup is totally awesome! It ain’t like the pizza hut or campbells soup where it is powdered form and they just add water. It is boiled from scratch and it taste totally better. It has a rich and creamy texture. Not too dilute or too thick, just nice. If you have tasted TGI Friday’s mushroom soup, this is better!

Kudos!

4. Hainanese Chicken Rice Balls @ RM8.90

This is what everyone goes to Melaka for. Why go so far when you can get it right here at LEX. The chicken is good and tender. The rice is oily rice rolled into a ball just the way Melaka people like it :D

Time for the desserts. Now I was told that the desserts are made by mothers of his teens from church. So its 100% home cooked cakes!

1. Durian cake @ RM10.90

Durian lovers will love this! As i write this now, the durian taste is still on my tongue. Very strong durian taste. Abit pricey, but i guess its the durian.

2. Choc Cheese Brownie @RM6.90

Hmmmmmmm, its quite ordinary. Couldn’t really taste the cheese. The brownie taste is still there though.

3. Chocolate cake @ RM4.50

This also was quite ordinary. Not very chocolaty but brownieee. lol

Just to prove i’m not biased, i tried finding fault with what i could find, so the only thing that was wrong was the Herbal tea, quite tasteless and also the service was abit slow cause of new staff.

Overall, this is a MUST VISIT place. Perfect place to RE:LEX and hang out if you are a teen!

They are also gonna have a concert on the 28th of August, good time to check the place out and at the same time have some fun!
