Assalamualaikum and hello everyone!
I was craving for some great food, to be exact- lamb chop. I honestly don't eat lamb before, but my friends persuaded me to try and sorta have a taste of what they eat- nasi arab kambing, satay kambing, kambing panggang, and everything kambing lah! And yeah, I love kambing, thanks to them!
And sometimes terbawa-bawa sampai malas mandi macam kambing HAHAHA.
meet my fav lamb chop!
Back to the story- I was craving for some lamb chop and I wanna go out and take pictures of the surrounding. You know, amik feel as if I am a tourist (Amik feel tu penting okehhhhh!). So I thought of Jalan Dhoby, JB. There are some beautiful street arts, and lots of nice cafes too! So lamb chop eh, let me think.... IT ROO CAFE!
Someone should make a Harry Potter wall art here at Jalan Dhoby. Because, Dobby sounds like Dhoby. You know what I mean? #POTTERHEAD
|| THE CAFE
I have been here for several times in the past few years. But the best thing about this cafe, is the taste of the food. It remains the same- always delicious! This cafe is known for the chicken chop, best chicken chop in town they say. The first time I came here, I was clueless. "This cafe looks like some place from the past though", was the only thing I thought of. I didn't even know this "the best chicken chop in town" thing. Then I ordered Beehoon tomyam. Well, it was just the normal beehoon tomyam. But my friend ordered Chicken chop, and it was awesome. Damn awesome beb!
Another time, was with my chinese friend. She knows that I love to try out new cafes so she said that I will surely be happy if she bring me to this place, I just know that it was It Roo when I arrived. My friend was quite disappointed because she wanted to surprise me but I've been there hahah. And like I said, the food never disappoint me.
This cafe is so popular among locals and Singaporeans too! The parking lot is limited but there are parking spaces behind Masjid India nearby. So, it's really no problem. Also, the bazar karat is just around the corner, but it only opens at night.
This cafe existed for years, and is still packed with customers. I went after the lunchtime on Saturday. there are a few empty tables, but it was packed again not long after I arrived!
welcome to the past!
|| THE FOOD
As usual, it was so delicious. The potato wedges are the real potato, not the frozen one you buy in supermarkets. The coleslaw is so fresh and juicy, the black pepper sauce is perfect and the lamb is super tender. Super tender I tell you.
You will be served with some peanuts once seated . I was like "Uuuuu service diaaaaa!", then I changed my mind when I saw the bill. Peanuts tu bukan service laaaaa, worth RM 2.00 lagi kau. HAHAHAHA. I never paid before, always my friend pay, my boss pay. Now only I know 😂😂😂
licinnnnn! but I find it weird to eat with cucumber, macam makan satay pulak keke
Overall, I rate this cafe :
5 stars for the service, there are so many people but the service is so fast!
4.9 stars for the food- it was tasty, fresh and great!
Will I come again?
DEFINITELY YES! for the lamb chop and chicken chop.
Will I recommend this place?
Yes, for the chicken chop & lamb chop. You can try other food, but these 2 are the ones I recommend. The food is great. Even though the cafe is not insta-friendly (no pretty walls like other hipster cafe), but the food definitely is. Worth every penny.
Oh, remember the "SMILE" wall art i posted on the previous post? It was just beside this cafe!
