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.
