Well, they call themselves the Coffee Club, but as deceiving as the name may be, it is not exactly a coffee shop that you would expect, serving coffee and pastries like the rest of the commercial coffee chain stores.

Well, they call themselves the Coffee Club, but as deceiving as the name may be, it is not exactly a coffee shop that you would expect, serving coffee and pastries like the rest of the commercial coffee chain stores. Instead, this franchise is more like a restaurant, with a menu with a variety of main dishes so I will be reviewing some food that I have tried here.
First of all, I tried the coffee ribs, which was disappointing. I thought it was a rather intuitive thing to try since it is a rather unique dish, and given its self proclaimed coffee-related name, I would expect something more from it. The meat itself is ok, rather tender, and the portion and sides are fine. But the biggest problem I felt was that the taste of the coffee did not blend in with the taste of the meat, and to make it worse, it didn't match the taste as well. In other words, on the outer layer, you can taste some weird combination of pork and coffee, while on the inner layer, you can have some tender but tasteless pork. Two words for you, not recommended.
The grilled fish with salmon mousse though, was a rather surprising dish. It is actually a fillet of fish grilled, but placed on salmon mousse, so it is wet and not dry like most grilled fish you will find elsewhere. The gravy is slightly sour, with lots of tomatoes in it.
Finally, the honey glazed chicken is not very sweet as the name suggest, but because of the presence of lime, it has a sweet and sour twist in your mouth. Unfortunately, the portion is too small and I cant seem to derive enough utility from that one small portion of it. So as good as it is, I would not order it again as it is not filling enough for me.
