The deal: RM8 for RM16 cash voucher for food and drinks at Cross-Legged.
What we got:
Upon stepping into Cross-legged, we were greeted by a very cheery lady. That gave us a pretty good first impression of the place--until we saw the menu, that is. While the prices weren't what you'd call exorbitant, I was taken aback by how much the price of the menu items have increased compared to the menu provided by the deal site--from RM15 to RM20 for a plate of pasta? Talk about a 33% increase!
We had considered giving their broccoli prawn soup a try, but scraped that idea in view of the price increment.
While we've got to give them props for being inventive and choosing to dish up pasta that isn't your typical aglio olio/bolognese/carbonara, we though both pastas were only decent bordering on average. It got slightly cloying towards the end, truth be told.
The French toast, however, was a different story. Topped with sliced sausages and diced tomatoes, and drizzled with a bit of maple syrup, it was both light and fluffy--a delight when eaten warm. Cross-legged's version of this generally simple dish was unlike any other I've tried. Despite it not being a main course, the French toast was hands-down my favourite order.
All in all, Cross-legged is a decent place to visit; a cosy cafe with nice hostesses, but we felt the more than marginal jump in prices may come as a surprise to those who'd visited the cafe only a month before.
Tax: None.
How much we paid: RM29
