BBQ @ Benji’s

I had heard that a lot of new and hip cafes had sprung up around Happy Mansion in the last few years but have not had the chance to try it since I live so far away. So, being adventurous, I went in blind and surveyed the area by looking at the menus of most of the restaurants there. Finally the hubby and I settled on BBQ at Benjis, a place selling various grilled, barbequed and baked meats. What attracted me was actually the Chinese New Year promotion they advertised outside that offered Hokkien Mee. The hubby is a vegetarian and therefore it was important to have a meat free option.
The interior was rather dark and the deco minimal but the waitress was extremely warm. We were disappointed to find out that the CNY promos had not started yet but the waitress kindly asked her boss if it was possible to spare us some Ju Hu Char that was a part of the CNY promo. Kitchen came back and told us yes, we can have Ju Hu Char. Hubby finally settled on mushroom omelette with a side of mash potatoes and I called for their Honey Cured Ham set. The food was really good, especially the honey cured ham, no fat and grease, just good ol’ solid pork. The same can be said about their other dishes.
However, we felt that they overcharged us since the portions were rather small. For example, Hubby’s mushroom omelette costs almost RM19.00 and my 3 by 5 by 1 inch cut of honey cured ham with mash and coleslaw set us back almost RM28.00. Total damage with drinks was RM95.15. I guess the only reason I may come back here if is I get some extra cash to splurge.
