Finally I got the time to
pin down my thoughts about this cafe. Last visited this place was like two
weeks ago when we went JB. Since JB has been quite popular with the cafe-hopping
scenario, I asked my boyfriend to drive us to The Brew Orchestra.
We were quite expectant to taste the food and coffee as there were quite a number of reviews saying this place is really good (looking from their Facebook page). We were quite famished too cause we had our breakfast around 8am at the resort and did not have anything else after. It took us around 1 hour to reach this place after checking out from the resort (read about it here).
The place looks cozy and comfortable. When we visited it
was around 2pm, and only a few table was taken so it’s quite quiet =) We were
greeted by friendly staff and decided to sit at the long table which is right
in front of the coffee bar area ~

Looking at the menu, they had quite a various items that
are interesting. When I took the menu picture, the staffs keep on glancing to
me as if I’m weirdo LOL
Because I work in printing industry, looking at their menu makes me a bit sad as I felt they can do much better for their menu presentation =(

As for the food, I decided to go with Egg Benedict (most recommended in
the review) and my boyfriend ordered Sakura Ebi & Tobiko Pasta. We ordered
Balsamic Grilled Mushroom for sharing as well (effect of being too hungry; ordered every single thing that I feel like eating) We almost ordered more but I managed to stop cause we experienced quite few times ordering too much food and end up we are always forcing our self to finish it 😆
FINALLY THE FOOD COME !!
They served the mushroom in a small bowl and next moment I knew, this is slightly over-priced. We can cook this our self too !!! Button mushroom sliced to small slices with balsamic oil and chopped condiment such as basil or rosemary to enhance the fragrance.
Presentation wise - normal
Taste wise - normal
Portion vs Price - not worth it =( slightly overpriced?

| Balsamic Grilled Mushroom - RM10.00 |
To be very frank, the egg benedict is just so so, not as great as many has written down on the review of the Facebook. I’m sorry to say but it really just tastes nothing special and no wow-factor 😞 My expectation was crushed but at least it makes me full (yeah just full not satisfied 😔) IMHO, the hollandaise sauce should be the wow factor, but nah I don't get it from here.
Presentation wise - okay
Taste wise - normal
Portion vs Price - reasonable
 |
| Egg Benedict Deluxe - RM22.00 |
Meanwhile for the pasta, it's not bad, but it's too salty for me. My other half likes it so much though cause of the overflowing tobiko (probably this is the reason why it's salty. Hahaha !!)
Presentation wise - okay
Taste wise - too salty for me 😔
Portion vs Price - worth the price ~

| Sakura Ebi & Tobiko - RM 21.00 |
Overall experience? Was okay (thanks to the atmosphere of the cafe)
Will I come back? Probably meh as I prefer to try out different place
Worth to spend your money here? Maybe once in a while when you're feeling rich LOL
