This my recent friendship bonding, on a Saturday afternoon,
at the suggestion of my going back to down our memory lane, years and years ago
bestie, obviously, as you have noted took place in The Social Empire Subang.
The Social Bangsar of course I have already solo-food-dined, but believe me, I
have never ever stepped into The Social Empire Subang, though Empire Shopping
Mall by itself is familiarity to me. Into the stylish, classy, spacious, two
floors and rustic atmosphere of The Social, we conclusively agreed to rest our butts at
the outside dining areas instead of inside.
Menu and service a
smile coming by soonest, honestly, we
were sort of unsure what to order due to spilling over choices. Eventually,
we can't be staring at the menu forever right? We ordered our food items and for
our drinking pleasure, I included Safe Sex Mocktail, whereas the game changer
for my bestie was a bottle of wine. Safe Sex Mocktail, a concoction of fruit
juices types sincerely, mind you was the safest bet for me instead of wine
rushing my palpitation and anxiety attack, bestie on the other hand took her
moment in time in sipping the supposedly exclusive wine as we caught up on our
lost time and whilst in the mids of dishes being served. Not too long a wait by
the way. Let’s say within the next 5 to
10 minutes?
Chicken Tortilla
Thin, round, made from finely ground maze flat bread, teamed
alongside chicken stir fried with veggies and sauces, hot plate serving, and yogurt, tomato salsa, mint chutney, cheese and thinly sliced salad leaves.
Fried Mee Hoon
Seafood, veggies and soy sauce fried thin rice noodles,
accompanied by sambal belacan.
Hainanese Chicken Chop
Crispy on the outside and soft bite inside chicken atop a
dark and thick sauce and some frozen veggies scattered.
Salted Caramel Ice-Cream
Creamy, a tiny bit of saltiness, non-overwhelmingly sweet, luscious and melting in the mouth sweet delight.
Pavlova
Egg white and sugar whipped, crisp crust, soft and light
inside meringue queen, whipped cream and fresh fruits exclusively seated atop.
Cappuccino
Coffee love hot beverage, double espresso based and steamed milk foam.
My food verdict? Honestly, Chicken Tortilla was a delight
for starting us off. Subtle interesting role play of tastes. Fried Mee Hoon, despite
being said as the major food seller in The Social, I personally didn’t find it to be a
winner. Maybe because I rather prefer street and coffee shop, a couple of
dollars Fried Mee Hoon? Sambal Belacan of course, a revelation of my kind spiciness and acidity tinge making me power happier. Hainanese Chicken Chop,
oh-no, what a waste to ordering. An ultimate beautiful presentation, but sadly, unimpressive on our palates. Flat, bland
and seriously, didn’t compute because crispy chicken didn’t jive with
the sauce. Salted Caramel
Ice-Cream and Pavlova on the contrary were the I have longed for some time sugar rush. What about
Cappuccino, are you asking me? Another Cappuccino. Another those usual coffee fix you
are no short changed in other such restaurant cum, when night falls, the early
birds and night birds drinking hole.
All in all, overall, The Social must be credited for their string
of ample choices, ambiance is the other I must mention as the pride and all those staff who attended to us, they are a pride as well.
