El Casa @ Irrawaddy Road

I was toying with the idea of having lunch here,but decided against it after I read this review.
Apparently this blogger had heard,nothing but bad news about the place from her workmates.

Disbelieving, she went headlong into the pit and found out the hard way spitting fire on the way out.
The last part sums it up,when she sarcastically raves about them having the best Home Dessert..... a platter of fresh cut papaya and oranges.
This was in February.
Today their set lunch is even cheaper still and they dare brag on facebook about the many companies they have hosted,that they are fully booked etc etc.

Read the excerpts below but for pictures head to : itsdelicious.info

------------------------------------------------------
El Casa is a brand new restaurant with Santorini concept started operating since last year end
Recently, they were lauching the grand opening promotion of 50% on second set.
It's strictly homemade and No MSG being used.
As i heard how bad was it from my colleagues, but still i decided to give it a try.
The ambiance is really good in and out there!!! Is a nice place for wine and relaxing maybe...
The 3 courses meal consists of Main Course, Drink - Peach Tea/Ice Lemon Tea and Home Dessert RM15.90.

Unfortunately when it comes to drink..The first thing serve to my table none other than the Ice Lemon Tea!!
The worst ice lemon tea which i ever had before!!
It's tasteless, more like a plain water stir with some syrup :( How disappointing!!

Potato Soup Given FREE by the boss.This is hmm okay, pass!

Signature Chicken Chop Deep-fried chicken poured with homemade onion sauce served with coleslaw and french fries.The french fries are pale and flaccid and the coleslaw is not okay. I reminded myself it's strictly homemade!!! I'm not too sure that does it means that the thousand island also has to homemade? The piece of fried chicken is tender.Overally, I would not say that this is worst but it's just very very ordinary !!

Spaghetti Tomato Concasse with Tempura Prawns served with tomato sauce, tempura prawns and parmesan cheese.The tempura is real good as i taste separately with the spaghetti.The spaghetti taste slightly raw and tomatoes sauce was too sweet to my taste.Sorry, I would rather pay 100 bucks to my mum to cook for me. Hers homemade spaghetti is soooooooo much outstanding than this. YES, it's homemade and No MSG.

Am i sound too harsh?I just don't understand that why i can see the phrase of "GREAT!!" appearing in their food comments. Am I had chose the wrong food choices?It's a GREAT place but definately not the great food you looking for.or maybe they are appointing to the home dessert perhaps?

The Home Dessert.BEST BEST BEST!! They are fresh and juicy!!The only best thing i had in this restaurant :(
