The Neighbour Hoot, Damansara Jaya

Friday, I was hemming and hawing about what to eat and where to eat.

Ya, dilemma of the week hah...hah...hah... I was feeling it for cheese toasties and I was feeling it for another stone pot dish at Luck Farm. But I need to write something new, right?

Besides, there are so many places I have yet to visit. So I decided that I should visit The Neighbour Hoot which I had earmarked for a few weeks already.

As I made my way to the restaurant, I saw the staff (in orange shirt) pacing up and down waiting for diners.

The menu is displayed outside.

They have a set lunch menu with 6 options - with either pasta or chicken which was not appealing to me although the price range is very attractive.

This is the regular menu.

I looked at the options and settled on the BBQ Pork Coppa Steak served with mashed potatoes and veggies.

The interior of the restaurant is dimly lit.

I was there slightly past 12:00pm and I had the whole place to myself. After I placed my order, I had this feeling of dread and regret. Maybe I have been eating too many carbs and my state of mind is affected. Who knows?

My choice of Ice Lemon Tea was good because this beverage was not sweet, it was very tart, which suited me perfectly.

Then my meal was served.

What is it with big ass plates and small food? Do I sound crabby?

And the attempt at sophistication manifested via the swoosh of bright red sauce across the plate?

Two thin slices of pork which were on the dry side served with sauteed veggies and mushrooms and a mini dollop of mashed potatoes. There was also small serving of peppery sauce.

The veggies were rather pleasant and the best thing on my plate was the (hardly visible) mashed potatoes. I wished there were more. The bright red swoosh, I cannot make out what it was.

I suspect I may not have made the best choice of dish from the menu. But having said that, it was a low carb meal, no?

And due to the modest serving size, I was left wanting. Very.

So.

I adjourned some place else to placate my unsatisfied tummy. Yes, my favorite toastie haven, Toastiful!

I had a Tuna and Red Onion Toastie and Iced Black Coffee with request for my drink to be packed in my trustee container.

After a little bit of wait, my warm toasties were ready.

I can say that these toasties were better than my first lunch.

Good luck to The Neighbour Hoot. I hope that the other dishes on their menu are loads better than what I selected and that they enjoy the support of the Damansara Jaya neighborhood.

Oh, this was advertised outside the restaurant.

O'Connor Angus Ribeye Steak MB2+ 270gm at RM188.00 only. Only. This made me shudder. Enough said.
