I went to Full House Cafe for lunch with one of my colleagues and her younger sister and brother in tow. I have seen this cafe before but it always looks to be anything but what the cafe’s name suggests. It has always come across as cold and empty.
However, little did I know, the interior is actually rather nice, with silk privacy screens between the booths and a decor that exudes warmth. It’s private and conducive to conversation and my coworker told me the spaghetti here is rather good.
The best thing about Full House Cafe is the dirt cheap cocktail prices. They serve alcohol (beer and cocktails) with the latter starting from RM 7.90 (!). At least that’s what I thought at first. I asked them for a stronger version of the cocktails and was told it would cost “RM 1 or RM 2 more” which I happily agreed to.
I had the Margarita (RM 7.90) which came in a tiny cup with a slice of lemon. I wouldn’t call it strong by my standards, and the cafe charged just RM 1 more for the souped up version of the drink. However, the meager liquid volume makes you think you’re getting more value for your money than you actually are. 😉
I had another Long Island Iced Tea (RM 13.90) which came in a much more acceptable receptacle that holds a more reasonable amount of liquid. It still wasn’t strong enough for my tastes but Full House Cafe is not known for it’s cocktails so I shall not judge it based on that alone.
The non-ethanol based drinks are very reasonably priced – Diana (my coworker’s younger sister) had the Red Elf (RM 3.50) which is a mixture of Ribena and Sprite while her younger brother had a Coke (RM 3.50).
The younger brother had the interestingly named Lazy People’s Set (RM 4.50). I can’t read much of the menu since most of it is in Chinese but it consists of two slices of toasted (fried?) bread, a sausage, coleslaw, sweet corn, baked beans and a fried egg.
Amy had the Chicken Chop with Thai Sauce (RM 8.90). It came with the standard trimmings of coleslaw, baked beans and sweet corn. She claimed that it tasted a little on the bland side though. The chicken chop is fried, not grilled which could be where the problem lies.
Diana had the Japanese Style Pork Chop (RM 7.90), The pork chop is served teriyaki style (dipped in batter before being deep fried) with mayonnaise and tomato sauce on top. The pork is tough though, probably due to overenthusiastic deep frying. 😉
I went for the pasta dish that Amy recommended – this is the Prawn Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce (RM 8.90). It came with two fully deshelled and large prawns which is rather generous for the price. It tasted good but I had eaten a late breakfast before this so I didn’t manage to finish the dish.
Full House Cafe has great service and reasonably priced food in a private air conditioned alcove. It’s like a little gem waiting to be discovered. The cocktails are cheap (albeit underpowered and volumetrically challenged) and the ambiance is relaxing, with soothing piped music and a laid back atmosphere that allows you to stay as long as you like. It’s good for hanging out with friends or your partner for a long, lazy lunch.
This is Diana Lau (Amy, your finger is on the lens), who is currently doing her Form Five in my alma mater (and in the same class I used to be in to boot!). I have noticed that I have problems attracting the under 18 demographic to my blog, probably due to its content, so I have taken the liberty of passing Diana a stack of my blogger name cards to be distributed to her classmates when school starts again. 😉
Word of the Day:
Volumetrically challenged
(Adjective)
A politically correct term for a small amount of liquid that is better described as a drop, droplet, or moisture. 😉
Don’t worry; I’m under 18 too. And your posts are fine too
Wah, like seeing double leh, Diana and Amy look so alike!

Certainly doesn’t live up to its name. Full House, but so empty! How ironic! The food looks like pretty lame efforts at western cooking!

O Huaibin.. what happen to you lately lar.. seems sober ley.. the FULL HOUSE seems nice, but thats too far for me. haha. Im still in MIRI.
Hey, I’m 17 and I’ve been catching up with your blog for a few months now. Just that, well, I’ve been a silent reader. But just so you know, I’m reading still. 🙂 🙂
YingYang: Oh, I didn’t know that. Gotta start a poll soon. I’ve always thought my readership was predominantly 20-30 due to the spike in traffic during office hours. 😉
Vince: That’s because they are sisters. Family resemblence. Amy is the older one.
vincent: Really? Hmm…most people I know who reads my blog are working.
Guess I can get the minor target demographic after all. 🙂
suituapui: Yeah, I know what you mean. It always looks so empty eh. However, cheap cocktails and chilled out atmosphere. You can stay as long as you want, there are manga books and magazines for your reading pleasure. I saw people playing PSP there too. There was a couple at the tatami area that chilled out in excess of the 1 1/2 hours we were there.
cofin: Haha! She’s a minor though. Jail 10 years, rotan 10 times. 😉
fish fish: No, I haven’t in this post. It’s probably the way I styled it that day. I zhng my hair on Sunday though. It’s now a bluish green, but not very obvious unless under direct sunlight. 🙂
Thanks fish fish! 🙂
clementwpy: Hmm…like that also can? And if he can’t get the sister? Go after the mom? 😉
Kidding, Amy, kidding. Sorry sorry.
Yeah, I’ve seen the mother (but only in photos). Amy sits beside me at work.
goolooloo: I am dead sober these days. Kinda depressed too. Lots of shit happening. Sigh…
I think more shit is going to happen soon. Wish me luck!
BAPTISM BY FIRE!
mchllchn: Hello there! Thanks for reading! I didn’t realize I had that many readers in that demographic. Cheers!
the price is soooo reasonable! yeah and they both so much a like hehe
Over here at Kch also got this shop named Full House. One at Central Park and one at RH commercial centre. I doubt its the same towkay cos the menu and decor are different. Wilson and I always order “U char kiuh with mayonis” its there flagship menu and the best in Kch ;p
amy reads your blog? ha ha… that’s interesting…
Darren: Yeah, especially for the cocktails. I didn’t see the family resemblance at first, it wasn’t striking to me but apparently it seems obvious to everyone else.
Roland: Hmm…I doubt it’s the same one as well, this isn’t a franchise operation. Char kueh and mayonnaise eh? I should try that sometime, but I prefer fried sotong with mayo.
clementwpy: Yeah, she’s my colleague. She sits beside me at work.
