DATIN RINA ABDULLAH HOSTED GRAND BIRTHDAY LUNCH AT FAROZ CAFE FOR DATO KEE HUA CHEE WHOSE BIRTHDAY STARTED ON 7 JANUARY AND WILL END ON 7 MARCH 2019 ON ORDERS OF THE GOVERNMENT AND DISUNITED NATIONS. BY A CHARMING COINCIDENCE, FAROZ CAFE OPENED ON 7 JANUARY 2019, EXACTLY ON A MY BIRTHDAY! 'FAROZ' IS NAMED AS AN AMALGAM OF OWNERS PUAN SRI FARIDAH AND BUSINESS TYCOON TAN SRI ROZALI SO 'FAR' AND 'ROZ' BECOMES FAROZ! THE DECOR FROM EXTERIOR TO INTERIOR IS BAROQUE IN THE MAGNIFICENT STYLE OF VERSAILLES AND HIGH RENAISSANCE SO I REALLY FELT LIKE ENTERING A FRENCH CHATEAU AND WAS HALF EXPECTING MARIE ANTOINETTE OR MADAME DU BARRY OR PERCHANCE MADAME POMPADOUR TO RUSTLE DOWN THE GRAND STAIRCASE TO GREET ME. STILL, BEING WELCOMED BY PUAN SRI FARIDAH AND LOVELY DAUGHTER DAYANA ROZALI SUFFICED AND I ENJOYED A FEAST FIT FOR A KING OR QUEEN! IN CASE YOU THINK THIS IS FINE DINING ALA LAFITE WITH RIGHT ROYAL PRICES RUNNING INTO RM 200 PER PERSON, THE ECLECTIC MENU IS SIMILAR TO MADAME KWAN! EVEN MORE AMAZING, APART FROM THE EXPECTED FRENCHY MAT SALLEH CUISINE, FAROZ CAFE ALSO SERVES MALAYSIAN DELIGHTS LIKE NASI LEMAK AND NASI KERABU FROM KELANTAN, MY HOME STATE! AN AVERAGE MEAL WITH DRINKS COSTS AROUND RM 35 TO RM 40 WHILE THE LOBSTER DISH IS RM 80. THE UNIQUE AND LAVISH DECOR ALONE IS WORTH A VISIT SO SEE YOU THERE! LOOK FOR DAYANA A.K.A KAK LONG AND HER HUBBY WHO RUN FAROZ CAFE

WHY THE CHOICE OF FRENCH VERSAILLES DECOR ALA LOIRE VALLEY INSTEAD OF A MALAY KAMPONG INTERIOR?

EXPLAINS PUAN SRI FARIDAH ROZALI, "WHEN WE VISITED VERSAILLES AND ALL THE GRAND PALACES OF EUROPE, WE COULD ONLY FIND WESTERN FOOD IN THEIR VICINITY AND I ALWAYS THOUGHT HOW LOVELY AND UNUSUAL IF WE COULD EAT MALAY OR MALAYSIAN FOOD AMID SUCH SURROUNDINGS! 

"BY CHANCE, MY 2 DAUGHTERS GOT MARRIED AND BOTH DECIDED ON CLASSICAL EUROPEAN THEMES SO WE ENDED UP WITH FURNITURE, FIXTURES AND FURNISHINGS IN THE STYLE OF VERSAILLES! THEY ARE VERY GOOD, QUALITY MODERN REPRODUCTIONS SO WE DECIDED TO REUSE THEM AGAIN WHEN WE OPENED FAROZ CAFE! INSTEAD OF PUTTING THEM INTO STORAGE COLLECTING DUST OR GIVING THEM AWAY, WE PUT THEM HERE!"

AS IT IS, FAROZ IS FAST BECOMING THE HOT SPOT FOR BERSANDING, PARTIES AND CELEBRATIONS.

"BUT OUR POLICY IS STRICTLY NO LIQUOR SO I GUESS CHINESE CANNOT YAMSENG WITH WHISKY BUT THEY ARE MOST WELCOME TO ENJOY OUR DISHES," SAYS PUAN SRI FARIDAH. "FAROZ CAFE IS IDEAL FOR SMALL TO MEDIUM PARTIES AND WE HAVE HELD 3 WEDDINGS ALREADY. WE CAN SEAT 40 DOWNSTAIRS AND 60 UPSTAIRS."

THE BEST DEAL IS THEIR SET LUNCH FOR ONLY RM 20! 

FOR THIS YOU GET LAKSA JOHORE, ASAM PEDAS PARI, CHICKEN CHOP GRILLED CHICKEN, OR NASI LEMAK (CHOOSE ONLY ONE OK!) PLUS DESSERT OF THE DAY AND SYRUP OR ICED LEMON TEA! A LITTLE LUXURY FOR LUNCH! 

PUAN SRI FARIDAH PURPOSELY NAMED IT CAFE RATHER THAN ANY PRETENTIOUS TERM TO DENOTE ITS ACCESSIBILITY AND MEDIUM PRICING. THE FOOD, I MUST SAY, IS EXCELLENT AND DELICIOUS WITH FRESH, QUALITY INGREDIENTS. COUPLED WITH QUICK SERVICE AND STAFF THAT ARE FRIENDLY AND AMIABLE, FAROZ CAFE SCORES ON ALL COUNTS!
