The bf promised to take me to Halia Inc. for a post birthday dinner since we had a wonderful time the first time we went there a few months ago. The food was fantastic and the service was really good. So I was actually expecting a lot from the restaurant the second time round.
I was really excited when the bf said he was bringing me there last Wednesday (even though my birthday was a month a go) after a movie. We watched a movie then shopped a little before heading over to the restaurant.
I like how the restaurant is industrial-themed yet cozy at the same time
A nice place to have coffee.

Time for food pics!
Cheese Cake
The bf said must order a piece of cake because it was a post birthday dinner but this was the last cake they had. However I like that they didn't use a lot of sugar so it was not overly sweet.
What I ordered - Halia Inc Chicken Chop
What the bf ordered - Asam Stingray with rice
We were both very disappointed with this dish. The soup was spicy but had no depths to it and the stingray was overcooked.
The bf's drink - Unlimited flow of ice lemon tea complimentary of the asam and rice set.
I had iced mocha but not pictured.
The food was kinda bland and the waiter and waitress kept forgetting the bf's drink even though we reminded them a few times. And when the food was served, the didn't give us utensils until we asked.
Overall I was kinda disappointed with the food and service
or maybe just that I expected too much but I think I won't be back for the
food but maybe for the coffee and cakes.
After dinner, the bf and I went to order coffee from Starbucks before heading home.
