Datenite @ Chic Cafe, Damansara Uptown

Last week my partner and I went to Chic Cafe, Damansara Uptown for dinner.

This is the place that boasts of being "Probably the Best Chicken Karaage in your neighborhood". My last visit to this cafe was in 2024.

For lunch that day I had the Sandwich of the Day at Halla Holla.


Friday is Beef Sandwich at RM21.00 (regular price RM28.00) and with additional RM6.00, I get a coffee and cookie.


RM6.00 for an iced black coffee (regular price RM10.00) and a cookie is very worth it.


That was a good lunch before datenite.


So we were at Chic Cafe around 6.oo pm when it was nice and quiet.


We shared a Honey Lemon Sparkle. It was very sweet with a flowery taste.


It was served with these pearls.


So I added the pearls into the drink. The pearls burst in my mouth with the same sweet honey flowery flavor.


We were served a small portion of these very tiny tasty cookies.


Ah! Our main meal and sides. We both had the Signature Golden Karaage Set with Mustard Fruity Yogurt.


The edamame were not tender and salty enough. Meanwhile the chicken gyoza were just OK. There is nothing like pork gyoza, so.


The chicken karaage was very good - well seasoned with light crispy batter. This fried chicken is my partner's must order (as a side) at Japanese restaurants. 

Underneath the chicken was rice and also in the bowl were edamame, seaweed and an onsen egg.


On the tray were a serving of mashed potatoes, mustard fruity yogurt dip .....


..... a small portion of vegetables, and ....


..... miso soup.


My partner told me that this was a very good meal, so I take it that he was happy to eat his favorite Japanese fried chicken.

  1. 6 p.m. at a restaurant was nice and quiet? That's great! I eat dinner between 5 and 5:30 p.m., because first of all, I am used to eating at this time, it gives me more time to digest my meal before going to bed and it's a habit I have had since I was a child, as my mother always had supper ready at 5 p.m. Here in Montreal it's around 6 p.m. and later when the restaurants get busier and noisier. So I am happy you had some quiet in what looks like a comfortable ambiance for a good meal.
    The eggs look delicious!
    And I love the quote as always, dear friend!
