Dinner @ Tappers Café

As usual, every two weeks, I will go back to my hometown in Melaka. The same goes for this week. As my best friend is on her semester break, we decided to spend some time together on the weekend. At first, we planned to go for a window shopping at Dataran Pahlawan Melaka Megamall. Dataran Pahlawan is a one-stop megamall which is also a famous tourist spot. As we arrived there quite late at night, most of the shops were starting to close down. Our plan to go for a window shopping was cancelled. We decided to go and eat our dinner since our stomach was growling with hunger.

We chose Tappers Café as a place for us to dine as it was one of the new cafés opened in Dataran Pahlawan. Moreover, the beautiful decoration of that café had attracted us to go there. The decoration was inspired by elegant colonial designs and most of the furniture there were white in colour. The cafe is opened everyday. On weekdays, the operation hours is from 8 am to 10 pm while on weekends, it is opened from 9.30 am until 10 pm.

As soon as we were seated, a waiter came a greeted us with her big smile. She then gave us the menu. There were quite a number of dishes and beverages with different cuisines served here. I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana (RM13.90) which is breaded chicken in spaghetti tomato and it is covered by melted mozzarella and parmesan cheese. It is served with a small bowl of coleslaw and some chips.

Meanwhile, my friend ordered the Chicken Schnitzel (RM14.90). It is a deep fried chicken coated with bread crumbs and served with a small bowl of coleslaw,  some chips and a special brown sauce from the café itself. We both ordered Iced Chocolate (RM5.30) and Chocolate Milkshake (RM 7.50) as our drinks. After a short period of time, our dishes arrived. It was great as we did not have too wait for a long time. Although it was at night and the closing time was getting near, the efficiency of the workers had still not decreased. 

The dishes were well prepared and the portion were quite big. My favourite part of the dish was the coleslaw. The vegetables were fresh and the taste was scrumptious. I like how the coleslaw was being put in a ramekin. By doing that, the chicken and chips will not get soggy. As for the star for both dishes which was the chicken, the batter was nice and the chicken was not greasy. But what disappointed me was the taste of the chicken for both dishes. Although my friend and I ordered different dishes, the taste was the same. I was hoping that there will be some differences but there was not.

Overall, it was nice to have dinner there. For a café that looked like an expensive five star hotel with beautiful decoration, the prices were reasonable. Moreover, the dining experience that we had there was satisfying. I cannot wait to come here again as taste another dish as they have a wide selection of dishes. I am looking forward to taste their newest dish which is the Garlic Shrimp Scampi Spaghetti.
