It is by pure coincidence that we discovered Cozy in the Rocket -
a new cafe by the owners of Amelie cafe.
The loft and junk style exterior immediately attracted my attention as I stroll along Beach Street
after visiting Tofu, yet another great cafe.
The familiar hand painted signs reminded me of Amelie, so I looked up online and
only then realise Amelie was closed and this is the owner's latest creation ~
Considering it's a pretty new cafe, we didn't expect to see such crowd
The place was almost full when we arrived around 1pm
The only table available was next to the kitchen,
aroma from the cooking kept tickling our taste bud...
Can't stop ourself from "closely monitoring" the cooking progress via the window gaps~
Crafty chairs
The outdoors.
It was a sunny afternoon, the light casting beautiful shadows all around
Recognise this?
It's the cute goldfish from Amelie.
Took us awhile to realise we need to refer to the boards for menu and order at the counter.
This is what we had:
Pesto & salami spaghetti RM25
Asparagus & bacon spaghetti RM25
The spaghetti is cooked al dente and very flavourful.
We finished them in minutes, literally.
Judging from the speed they were gone, we all preferred asparagus & bacon. :D
Scallops & mussel risotto RM25
This dish is the least to my liking. Still, I haven't had a risotto that I enjoyed yet.
So maybe it's just personal preference..
Mushroom gnocchi in truffel sauce RM25
Being a potato lover, I can't express enough how much I love this dish.
All I can say is it's our favourite of the day!!
Tiramisu RM18
I wanted to try pana cotta, but sis insisted on this.
Oh well, maybe next time~
Bitter taste from the coffee beans, liquor and orange zest is refreshing after the creamy meal.
A great treat.
Passion fruit & lemon juice RM12.
Healthy and refreshing drink
Though slightly pricey, the food and atmosphere is definitely worth it.
They also have some uncommon choices on the menu (like gnocchi, pana cotta) which is a plus
Word of advice though,
do not go on an empty stomach and expect some waiting time
since there's only the couple working away.
Ending the post with a shot from the cafe's beautiful outdoor ~
