Mushroom soup + refillable ice lemon tea for RM9.90 (Add on to a main dish) Mushroom soup is a refreshing change from usual whitish mushroom soup although taste is just ok.
Garlic Mussel, love dipping the bread into the garlicky sauce. yum yum, RM16.90
Bake Dory Fish in Herbs, taste a bit odd, and the herb made the fish look a bit unappetisingly greenish, RM21.90
I still prefer Fish & Co over Manhattan Fish Market

Just this past month, there open a new cafe in Cyberjaya, next to Kafe OldTown Kopitiam called Kafe Wherelse Delights, serving cheaper food options. You can’t see any signage of “Where Else” outside, just look out for a sign Kitchen Village/Old Town Kopitiam.

Yau Char Kway(chinese crullers), RM0.90. Dried Oyster & Peanut Porridge, RM2.90(small bowl but very tasty)

Service Tax in Restaurants

Some restaurants charge service tax of 5%, whereas others 10%. Ever wonder how service tax works. According to The Star newspaper dated July 11, 2008, only restaurants earning more the 3 million per year(previously RM500,000 annum) can charge service tax, and this took effect July 1 last year.

However, seems like not all restaurants observe this, i doubt some small restaurants which i visited make more than 3 million a year 😛 but they do charge service tax. You could lodge complain at
1. cd [at] customs.gov.my or
2. kastam [at] customs.gov.my
According to article in Malaysia Royal Custom website, restaurants in hotel, nightclubs, dance halls, cabarets, health centre, massage palours, public houses and beer houses can charge service tax with no pre-requisite of annual earning 3 millions.
For full list of restaurant authorised to charge service tax, refer to Lowyat.net or Promotions and Sales in Malaysia.
One things which confuses things for me is this Service Tax Act specify 5% service tax is at stake, but at times restaurant charge 10% service tax.
