What we got:
Urbean isn't a very hard cafe to spot--you can practically see it once you exit the LRT station to Avenue K.
Cappuccino (RM10)
No complains about the cappuccino; we enjoyed it and appreciate the fact that it was strong enough.
Roast chicken, pesto mayo and buffalo mozarella open sandwich (RM17)
Four slices of sourdough bread; two topped with chicken slices, cheese and a light pesto mayonnaise, and two with onions, tomatoes and what we think could be red leaf lettuce (we're not very good with vegetables), and a small side of coleslaw. The open-face sandwiches were light and tasted decent, making for a satisfying meal.
Pesto cream penne (RM17) with an add-on of smoked salmon (RM4.50)
Penne cooked with roasted red peppers, mushrooms and peas in a pesto cream sauce--the first mouthful and we were hooked. Until we took a few more, that is. While sauce was undoubtedly delicious, it was so thick and creamy that it ended up being very cloying. It actually took some effort on our part--the both of us--to finish this plate of pasta. Again, this is not to say that it doesn't taste good, because it does, but perhaps this dish could benefit from a thinner sauce. Richer is not always better? The smoked salmon was also a little saltier than I liked.
Our tastebuds were so satiated we could not stomach anything else, so instead of having dessert at the cafe like we originally planned, we got it to-go.
Hummingbird cake (RM9.50)
So we had our cake in a plastic box instead of a pretty little plate. This is only our second time having hummingbird cake, so we may not be the best judge of this. It was rather dense and pretty heavy on the banana, with decent-sized pineapple chunks. We'd love if it had a tad more cream cheese though. Hummingbird is not our favourite sort of cake, but this version was all right.
Tax: Service charge of 5%
How much we paid: RM36.90
