Fullhouse NZX

.

A lazy Sunday afternoon. Feeling rather bored and relunctant to think of what lunch to prepare, I suddenly have this urge to explore the much raved about Fullhouse Cafe at NZX (Niu Ze Xui) 牛车水. I don't mean taking a trip all the way down to Singapore but I am referring to the commercial centre in Ara Damansara by the same name. Heck, are you sure this is the correct pinyin for 牛车水? I certainly have great doubts. With a multi-million ringgit mega development, why hasn't the developer bothered/had the decency to actually find out the correct pinyin. Atrocious!

And so we embarked on our little outing. Prior to this, I heard that the Kelaya Jaya way has been closed. No choice, and went via the old Subang Airport way instead. This place is a wee bit obscure, a real hassle to get there. Plus the fact that there aren't any proper directional signboard leading to the place. Again, this makes one wondering what's the developer doing? I suppose this is the pathetic Malaysian way of marketing. The place was deserted, occupancy rate soooo low, thanks to the wonderful marketing skill and therefore I would not bother to elaborate further. The only thing I can say is that this covered commercial boulevard is a plagiarism of the Singapore Chinatown.


Fullhouse, the lifestyle store and cafe, is the only spot in NZX where you find "customers". I was told that the restaurant was based on the Korean drama "Fullhouse" starred Rain and Song Hye Kyo. The moment we stepped in, we were greeted by Korean welcoming lines and Korean songs.

The skeletal Mini Cooper placed at the entrance of the cafe does make an impact on attracting patrons.

The creative, story telling sort of menu.

Exceptionally cute, with comic strips in chinese.




Josh enjoyed the comic. We took the set lunches and ordered a side dish.

Ice Lemon Tea.

Forest Mushroom Cappuccino soup.

Pan seared Dory fish resting on a bed of mashed potatoes.

The Ham and Mushroom Spaghetti

Petit cakes

This is a 3-storey bungalow-like restaurant, complete with a garden. Each section is decorated to resemble the different spaces like the bedroom, bathroom, courtyard etc. White is the theme, very romantic. This is the view from the garden.

The living and dining area.

Lots of cute decor items scattered everywhere and they all have a price tag on it.

The four poster bed and closet full of clothes. Those ladies who have a penchant for Korean/Japanese inspired cute accessories will definitely fall for this dreamhouse.

The food was mediocre, nothing to shout about. The service was not to be desired. However, the atmosphere was relaxed and convival. I certainly would not mind going back again.
