Our lunch at Cafe Rosita was a complete disappointment. We'd chosen 4 different items from the a la carte menu (one of them was recommended by the waiter as a house specialty). 1. The garlic bread (RM 2.50 for 2 slices) lacked crispiness and was too oily. 2. The grilled teriyaki chicken with pumpkin cubes (RM 23) was a let down. The over-cooked chicken thigh was tough and chewy whereas the texture of each pumpkin cube differed significantly, with some being served raw. 3. The fritto miso (RM 22) - battered, deep fried sea food with chips (5% seafood + 95% flour)- was equally bad. Apart from the tiny pieces of prawn, the only other ingredient in the mix was small strips of fish which had a mushy texture. The batter coating was too thick and at RM 22 / serving, the dish is a real rip off.4. The worst offender is definitely the grilled red snapper with chicken ham and pasta (RM 19); unsuitably doused with a generous amount of melted cheese. The 'grilled' fish was tough and had an unpleasant smell which was off-putting. I highly doubt the freshness and the quality of the ingredient used. All in all, the Western-style food served at Cafe Rosita is overpriced (RM 13.50 for a pot of tea!) and lacked quality. It's obvious that Western-style cuisine is NOT their forte. In addition, the waitress who attended to our table was disengaged throughout our meal and came across as a little rude. If the 10% service charge were optional, we wouldn't have paid. If you're visiting this restaurant, be warned that Western isn't the way to go!
