Brunch at La Casa

We headed to La Casa for the Sunday brunch but decide to order regular food.  CJ had the spaghetti meatballs, the Elder the eggplant and the Frenchman duck pasta.



The food was good but not awesome. CJ did have a question about his meatball and we talked to the owner, Thomas, about that.  He thanked us for the comment and went back to the kitchen.  He returned and told that he scrapped the meatballs and they are making a new batch.  He also comped us three Crème Brulée.

Another issue was that the appetizer, the beef tartare, showed up after the meal were coming out. We returned the main meal and asked them to keep them warm so we could enjoy the appetizer first.

This seems to be an issue in Kuantan.  The definition is as follows:

appetizer
noun
  •  a small dish of food or a drink taken before a meal or the main course of a meal to stimulate one's appetite.


I think there is a disconnect with that definition in Malay.  Here is how to say it in Malay:

pembuka selera

I think we need to learn how to say that
