Food Foundry @ Section 17, Petaling Jaya
Posted by Buu on September 28, 2006
Food Foundry is a nice little cafe situated in a corner Happy Mansion, Section 17 Petaling Jaya. It is an establishment wholly owned by a local lady that came home from the United States that serves western, italian and local delicacies. The place boasts of its Mille Crepe and has been mentioned before in other another blog called Friedchillies and even mention in the News Straits Times.
I only came to know this place as my colleagues and myself went out for a farewell lunch to one of us who is leaving my company. To my surprise it is only a less than 10 minute drive away from my office in Phileo Damansara. The place sports a cozy cafe with an open air concept. The walls are decorated with pictures of its past patrons. The only thing that did not go well with the environment was the music. A cafe like this in my opinion should have a jazzy or easy listening music but instead it relied on local radio stations.
A quick browse of the menu and I had decided on my dish. I had the Aglio Beef with Mushrooms pasta which out from the choices of spaghetti, angel hair and fettucini, I choose spaghetti. Angel hair apparently is a bombastic name for the same noodles you can find used for cooking Kon Lo Mee. The price of each appetizer never goes beyond RM 15.00.
A few minutes later, the food came.
I found this dish very tasty and the portion was just right. The ingredients of this pasta dish are mushrooms, beef, fresh red chillies, capsicum, dried chillies and onions all fried together in olive oil.
One of my colleagues had the carbonara with turkey ham.
Although I did not taste it, it looks pretty plain from the outlook but my colleague said it tastes great.
During the whole lunch outing I sneaked off to take a snap shot of their cakes.
What caught my attention was the cake at the top left corner cake. That is called Brownie Cheese Cake which goes for RM 7.90 per slice which I find pretty expensive compared to the Caramel Cheese Cake I had at Secret Recipe.
I did not get to try anything else on the menu but it has plenty of choices which includes tapas, nasi lemak, sandwiches and grilled western food. This place deserves a second visit from me
