Bougainvillea City Cafe, Ipoh

I never thought that someone will use "Bougainvillea" as a cafe name. This name reminds me of during secondary school, is our class name. The chef told me that he named it after Ipoh. I think that certain things is represent something. I guess Bougainvillea is just represent Ipoh. I will ask in details when i back again.

This cafe is just located at Ipoh town and just opposite of Bricks & Barrels. If you are not from Ipoh, refer the address below. 

This cafe is set-up by a chef named Mac and few partners in Ipoh. Mac went to U.S for almost 13 years and he learn his cooking skills at there. Now, he back to his mother lands and open up his favourite cafe. Is so amazing that all decorations, painting, food and furniture are done by the chefs and partners themselves. Simple decorations just turned out to be a nostalgic charm. 

Caffe Latte (RM6.90)

Cappucino (RM7.90)

The old traditional coffee cup that no where to be found, you can found  it in this cafe. The speciality of the coffee is that using Ipoh Famous White Coffee to brew out. Sugar for coffee is using cane brown sugar. Is healthy and not too sweet. 

Old Style Sarsaparilla (RM 9.90)

This is highly recommend soda by me. This soda taste exactly like "SARSI" by F&N. The different between Old Style and F&N, Old Style taste not too sweet and less gas but still can taste my favourite Sarsi. 

Bacon & Scramble Eggs Wrap (RM15.90)

Fill with lettuce, bacon, scramble eggs, cheddar cheese, cube potato and little sauce is totally fill your stomach. 

Ravioli Pasta

This is not mushroom soup but Ravioli Pasta with cream sauce. Last week i went and they recommend this pasta as this is handmade by the chef's. So far I've never try any cafe served this kind of pasta. Ravioli are a traditional type of Italian filled pasta. They are composed of a filling (meat) sealed between two layers of thin egg pasta dough and are served either in cream or with a red sauce. All pasta or spaghetti (noodles) handmade by the chef's. 

Strawberry Chocolate Chip Crepe.

Strawberry Chocolate Chip Crepe is fresh made that day and is recommended by the chef's. So, we order decide to order and try it. I like the cake so much as not too sweet. We've been told that all the food & cakes are based with neutral taste. Not too sweet, not too salty and most important is no MSG!!!. 

Is definitely healthy food and i like this cafe. I like the effort & passion of the chef's trying to recommend us every of the food in details and every of his waiter are well trained in serving foods. As i told before, the main reason i will visits again is service. Service is very important in every industry (not only food) in order to come back again.
