Dome Cafe Sutos - Interior

Akhir-akhir ini tampaknya mulai semakin jarang bisa ditemui, setahu saya cabangnya di TP4 sudah digantikan dengan kafe baru.Satu lagi yang cukup memprihatinkan adalah cabangnya di Sutos.
Biasanya kafe ini identik dengan makanan yang lumayan enak, dengan promo yang menarik.
Sekarang promonya masih menarik, saat itu ada discount 30% dengan salah satu credit card, agak lupa banknya, kalau tidak salah Standard Chartered.


Lately they've been closing one branch in TP4, and this particular cafe in Sutos is quite deserted. Usually this cafe is renown for the food instead of their beverage. Nowadays the food have tkaen quite a hit on quality, leaving us wondering what's left to savor.
They usually have a promotion / discount for credit card holders, this time we get a 30% off using Standard Chartered.

Dome Cafe Sutos - Pasta

Sayangnya di balik discount menarik tersebut, kualitas makanannya tidak sesuai harapan, baik dibandingkan dengan kafe sekelas atau dengan Dome cabang lain. Kualitasnya kurang ok, baik dari segi rasa maupun kesegaran bahan. Ikan ini sebelum dihidangkan sudah tercium dulu baunya, salah satu tanda kalau kurang segar. Setelah dicicipi, ternyata benar, agak kurang fresh.


Despite the decent promotion, the food is far from what I'd expect, in comparison with other cafe their caliber or their previous standards. I've been in their branch in TP (now closed) and Galaxy Mall, and their food was quite delicious.
We can smell the fish before it's served, which is a tell-tale of a fish lacking in freshness. Which was further confirmed after taking a few bites.
