🍜 Lunch Reflections at Face to Face Café

#summervacay #myitinerary #panmee Amid the hum of casual chatter and the sizzle from the open kitchen, I sat down with anticipation. Face to Face Café beckoned with its inviting menu—Sarawak-style noodles and a curated variety of pan mee creations that felt like a tapestry of local comfort food reimagined. 🥢 The Experience: • I opted for their loh mee pan mee—thick, dark gravy enveloping silky noodles, topped with minced meat and an alluring dash of fried shallots. Each bite was hearty, but perhaps a little too intense for a light lunch. • To offset the warmth and weight of the noodles, I ordered a cendol ice—cool, creamy, and full of familiar sweetness. The shaved ice, green jelly strands, and gula melaka danced together like a nostalgic melody. It was refreshing, but arrived slightly melted, losing some of that crisp texture I’d hoped for. 😔 Regrets: • I wished I had explored a more unique or lighter version of pan mee—perhaps one of their dry-style options or spicy tomato twists. The loh mee, while comforting, leaned heavy and dulled my taste curiosity midway through. • The cendol, though tasty, didn’t meet its icy expectations. A quicker service or more generous ice portion could’ve saved the day.
