So, a certain cafe in UUM

It was a hot, sunny day today yet it was very unpleasant. Dust combined with heat destroyed the summer view of my university. Being a bit desperate, I went to a cafe the I never went before in my university. I noticed that the cafe had a western styled cafe setting, something that I don't usually see in my University. But I must say, I left the cafe with mixed feelings.

To give you an idea of its atmosphere, I was baffled by the fact that there was little to none menu being displayed in the cafe. So, I took me some time where I look around like an idiot in a science lab to actually find the menu at the cashier. And to add up my surprise, it is the only menu available in the cafe.

Still, refusing to give up on my newly found cafe, I went to order a plate of Fish N Chips and a glass of ice coffee. When the Fish N Chips arrived, I was even more horrified. The "Fish" looks like the Ready to Cook fish you would buy from Tesco and dump into the frying pan immediately. How hard is cooking a fish that you need to resort to instant food style of cooking. And their is the fries, they look as if they had been fermented ages ago.

Reluctantly, I finished my meal and went to the cashier. Paid Rm9.50 for the meal and suddenly I thought,"Why did I pay so much for something this bad?". I felt that for once local food can be less expensive yet more delicious and filling than this kind of cafes. Cheers
