Limketkai Mall - Part 2

Coffee Anyone ?

One of the foremost goat addictions has to be the coffee curse especially among senior citizens ( politically correct ) or " old goats " ( goat lingo ) . Remember heading to work in the am back state side and stopping at the local McDoo drive thru for a take out . The joint inside was always packed with the senior goat variety kicking the can . 

Fortunately KL has some first class java stopovers starting with the international brand above . Now , you may find some minor flaws in a Starbucks flavour here compared to one in Seattle but rule of thumb is they are consistent with their quality no matter the location . And it ain't just the coffee as you can see below .

Sinful

Another well known coffee haunt located along the Rosario Arcade walk and in front of  Jerry's Grill is the one above . Said to be a home grown establishment it's a real favourite for the obvious reasons as well as the Wi - Fi .

While on the subject of coffee i will state that this here " old goat " has not seen , nor does he wish to sample ,  the famous/infamous brand of bean known as the civet . Said to be the beans of coffee berries once they have been eaten and excreted by theAsian Palm Civet it's more formal name is Kopi luwak .  

Part of my decided prejudice against consuming this brand of bean is some rather distasteful practices said to be occurring to the creature that formulates this stuff while being caged and force fed coffee beans , not to mention outrageous prices . Said to be the most expensive coffee in the world at $700 per kilogram in the US though in the Philippines it goes for " only " $20 a kilogram or so .   :-)

Enough about coffee but do need to mention this relatively new stopover as i had an expat goat tell me he eats there every trip to Manilla and that's good enough for me . Very popular with the Philippine domestic goat variety as it is well suited for the large clan .

 Just a looking at some of this sumptuous i definitely gotta get by there next trip .

Yeah , them too...

Ok ,a mention of an eating place reached by the stairwell , back side of the mall or from within the mall itself known as Countryside Steak  House .

A bit of old  wild west flavour is present but me having tripped that part of the US a lot i felt right at home here . Only caveat is that sometimes they will not have a particular cut of beef you might want as theirs comes from Australia but they will tell you up front .

Now , if the feller above happens to be one of your favourites this stopover is the place to rest up and have a glass or two . Can personally recommend the sirloin and the NY strip . If they are out of stock , grin and bear it and next time take Tonto with you .   :-)

Can't  leave the Rosario Arcade walk around without a mention of a fine dining establishment that offers a bit of an upscale dining experience complete with a deli . Owned and operated by a European chef and his wife of local roots it offers something a tad unique for goats in need of same .
