I was out the other day at Aeon Jusco in Bukit Tinggi (not too far from my home) and was looking for lunch. Me & my darling dearest had no clue at all of what to eat. Then we stumbled upon the opening of a new restaurant, Papa John's Pizza. It was their first day in operations.
We were greeted by a nice gentleman (I am guessing he was the manager because he wasn't wearing a name tag like everyone else). He spoke well and did not even attempt to force us to have a meal there. Instead, he just told us about the difference between their pizzas and other restaurants pizzas. It didn't take much too convince us actually (for I was pretty hungry =p). So in we went and was guided to our seats, a nice cozy spot at the back. I took a moment to look around and sort of observe the place and its surroundings. It was pretty nice actually. A cozy ambiance, peaceful setting (nothing too fancy) and they even had their tables made to match their ceiling =D (that I found pretty unique).
Shortly after being seated, a waitress came up to us and the first impression that I got was, "Wow, that's a good introduction." She gave us her name (Chear), and told us that if we needed anything to just give her a call. So after, we were looking through the menu and a small petite Malay girl came to take our order. We weren't too sure what to eat so, we decided to take a set A (a 9' pizza, a set of breadsticks, and 2 drinks). We also decided to try some of their other dishes and ordered a bowl of baked rice (with mushroom, chicken and cheese) and their famous cheese sticks (it was really good).
Our meal came in about 20 minutes, and with every dish, they included a small bowl of their special tomato based dip, garlic butter dip and also a pair of zesty, spicy peppers. Interesting stuff. =) Then it was time to dig in =D In the end, we felt we ordered maybe a little bit too much =p and ended up packing home some of the food. But everything tasted really good.
A funny incident happened as well while dining there. We requested for salt but there was none available =S pretty shocking and weird... But then again, it was their first day. Later, a floor manager by the name of Cherian came up to us and we told him about the salt that never came to us. He apologized and told us that they didn't have any prepared and he actually ran out to buy some back. =D excellent service!
So, in total we paid Rm 48.70 for our whole meal. That was really worth it because of the amount of food we got. =) I would recommend this place to all pizza, pasta, Italian food lovers. A really nice place, with good food, and friendly staff. =)
Here are some pictures of the food we had (sorry, we ate the cheese stick up =p I was hungry ok?!?! =p) Enjoy!!! =)
Our pizza (Papa's Chicken Super) & the zesty pepper thingy.
Bread stick (that look like cigars) =D
The baked rice with our pizza.
Definitely one of the best. I tried it once and it was unforgettable.
