These were served, not just with the traditional lemon or Tabasco, but with a delightful homemade vinaigrette, which really accentuated the taste! And they were not the overly huge Pacific Oyster, which is commonly served, but local Rock Oysters which have an altogether better taste and texture.

If you are in the Taman Desa area today, and fancy somewhere quiet, cozy and relaxing for you and a significant other, here is today’s Valentine’s Special menu.
And we have some awesome custom cupcakes, ideal for your loved one!
Fittingly, dessert! Blackberry and apple pie, with custard sauce.
I reckon I need one of these!

After many years of commenting, and “corresponding” via blog posts, I finally met up with Huai Bin, of Sixthseal fame, at my cafe in Taman Danau Desa, ironically just across from the Huygens Asia office from which he used to work when he visited KL on projects.
I’m not going to expand upon our conversation, which could have gone on for hours except for time constraints, as we have quite a few things in common, but it was a pleasure to meet up IRL after “conversing” virtually for such a long time, and great to see him looking fit and well after his (mis)adventures 
– which will be known to any who read his blog, which has always been linked from both my old blog and this new one. Any other commentary I will leave to him in his forthcoming post, but I know it won’t be the last time he visits Cafe Libre!
Well met, my friend, well met!
And he brought a delightful friend, Ginny, who unfortunately barely managed to get a word in edgeways as the two of us gabbled on! Hope we didn’t bore you to tears, Ginny!
Yes, it’s yet another burger from the Daily Grind in Bangsar. Much more of this and I am going to ask for sponsorship, but since the food there really is good, and suits my palate, I’m not stopping until I finish trying the menu, or my arteries scream “enough!” Then I’ll simply fall back to eating the fish dishes, and pretend that I am undoing any damage with regards to my HDL/LDL levels.
So, here is the “Back on the farm” burger. Smoky grilled, with BBQ sauce (not too heavy, which is rare) and piled with extremely light onion rings. A freshly baked corn cake accompanies it, and I was pleasantly surprised to find it not at all heavy, but juicy, with nice pieces of corn mixed into a creamy base. All in all, not nearly as over-the-top as I thought it might be, as if that would deter me. LOL!
The perfect lunchtime accompaniment to a meal. Frozen Margaritas @ RM12 all day.
No cheaping out here – two medium sized soft-shell crabs, with a drizzle of mild Wasabi cream. RM29 @ The Daily Grind.
Absolutely perfectly cooked, and delicious. Possibly my favourite so far. LOL – SO far………
Mmm, blue cheese and walnut, with apple compote. Superb!
