Celebrate my bday at Cafe Takahashi @ Juco Kinta City Ipoh with family

Cafe Takahashi @ Juco Kinta City Ipoh

Yesterday my mum and dad celebrate my birthday on there.

A new Japanese-style cafe (kissaten), named Cafe Takahashi has recently opened its door for business in Jusco Kinta City, here in Ipoh. So if you're one of the many whom had grown weary and sick of all the fast food outlets, sushi on kaiten belts, over-priced delicatessen, etc etc, then you may now jump for joy, at the welcoming sight of the sparkly new cafe located next to K-Box Karaoke on the same floor as the food court, on the level below TGV Cinema.

The interior of the cafe reminded one of Pasta de Gohan, or even Kissaten @ Jaya One.

Occupying the lot previously belonging to Moritomo Japanese Restaurant (which has since ventured out on their own, patterning itself to be a full-fledged Japanese restaurant by the name of Kizuna), Cafe Takahashi opened few days ago, and the lunch crowd on a Friday was an encouraging sign of Ipohans willing to try something (anything) new, for a change.

The menu at Cafe Takahashi may take some time to browse through, and decipher accordingly. Given the fusion theme of their menu (pasta, pizza, burger and curry rice - Japanese style, anyone?), one may be forgiven if one's initial impression of the cafe was shattered, thinking that Cafe Takahashi serves sushi, sashimi, bento and the likes.

Covering various 'funky' items on the menu, such as unagi burger, banana & egg pizza, as well as baked rice with cheese and Japanese curry, Cafe Takahashi in fact, follows the trend of hip cafes in Japan, serving various light snacks such as sandwiches and pizza, and several mains NOT commonly found in Japanese restaurants, or sushi joints. (One fine example of a local Japanese cafe is the Haikara Style Cafe @ E-Tiara Apartments, Subang Jaya - here's masak-masak's review of the place, and here's epicurious girl's take)

The cafe occupies two lots, with ample seating area - Perfect for a meal, or even some light snacks at any time of the day

we order a Takahashi Salad , Seafood Eggplant Carry Barked , Katsu Don and Green Tea.

The forms of baked rice with cheese, and salmon with Japanese curry. An odd combination, but had her singing praises nonetheless.
