5 star for the potato garlic soup alone.

This white creamy, slightly salty, pure piece of paradise is the #1 reason to come here. Really.

You haven't been satisfied until you eat a mouthful of this stuff. This is so good, it must be made by Wayne himself (the owner).

I must also give high scores for the penne. Delightful, and a perfect complement to that creamy soup.

Thank you Wayne!

Easily the best pizza in town, especially if you're very hungry and/or hungover. It comes in a nice white greasy box, the way I like 'em, and is as potent on the way out as it was on its way in.

Tuesday's 2-for-1 is a real bargain. Thick slice the sucker, and you're in for one hell of morning after. Their Chicken Delight is pure gold. Order it without chicken, but extra delight, and it's a classic.

There'd be a 5th star in there if the price came down a bit... other than that, it's all good.

Wow, I was surprised how good this place is.

First, with its prime location and walls drenched in sensual reds, this place is the kind that raises eyebrows.

Then, a quick look at the menu contains further surprises. The choice, for one, but especially the price. On-tap beer, literally cold as ice, for 25k. N-ice!

Of note also is the genuine multi-feel of the place. By day, it's a leisure pub, with magazines to browse. The different exhibition at the back even manage to give this place a bit of surprising high-brow feel. But at night, it transforms in the busiest little bar in town. I was actually surprised how many people this place can pack in at night!

Finally, a word about the surprising high level of the staff. As Cheapie said, they knew most of the many patrons by name, and 2 or 3 visits later, knew mine as it well. They even remembered my drink of choice!

Anyway, 5 stars. Easy.
