Black Canyon Coffee at Batam Megamall

Remember that I once talked about the Black Canyon Coffee sometime back? Well, if you don't, click on the link to refresh yourself! Hahahahaha!

Black Canyon Coffee was actually started in Thailand and it was one of the more popular coffee place. And this place does not just sell coffee! They also sell THAI FOOD! And also some western cuisines of course. But the thing is, THAI FOOD!!! Hahahaha! I repeat again, THAI FOOD!!! Lol. I was so elated when I saw this at the Batam Center Shopping Center when I went there for a short weekend with my parenets and the man the other time! *BEAMS*

Very refreshing juice.


Loooove their lime juice!
Okay. Mango salad. If you look carefully at the mango salad, you will realize that it looked a little different from the usual green hard mangoes you find in mango salads. The mango they used was really pretty special to me. It's sweet and soft! The entire dish was really very appetizing. What made it perfect was the sauce they used for the salad. YUMS! *A word of caution. The spring onion look alike is actually chili padi!*


I had been giving raving reviews about their phat thai. PHAT THAI PHAT THAI PHAT THAI! This dish is actually a thai styled fried kway tiao. It is sweet and is a little wet. From what I see, most of the phat thai was served with a tray of several different toppings like sugar, dried chili and a seasoning. I tend to add them all into the phat thai and it raised the fragrant of the entire dish. I have to say, they did it pretty well and I love it. It's definitely not up to the standard of what I have had in Thailand, but it's definitely better than any that I had had in Singapore! YUMS!



Fried rice was really fragrant! This was the salted fish fried rice. Pretty nicely done for just frying rice with some simple ingredients which we can find at home really easily. I like eating the rice with the peanuts. Hehs.


Tom yum soup was really good. It was not that spicy (okay, I admit, we ordered the less spicy version and thus we have no chili padi added). But the nice thing about it was that it is not like most of the tom yum soup that is just spicy and spicy and sour. It has the tom yum taste. Like, we can taste the fragrance of the spices that they had added in. Tom yum is not just about being spicy and sour! It has to give us the aroma of the things that they had added in too! This was good!


Lamb chop rice was pretty normal I have to say. But it was really pretty. Haha. Heard that it was one of the best seller. Of course the lamb chop was nicely done. Not smelly and it was tender too. It's just that it dimmed in comparison to the other food that we had ordered. Haha! The soup that came along with the rice was really normal beside the tom yum soup. Lol.



I was really very happy after the lunch at this place. The moment I came home, I started looking for a branch in Singapore. Yesh. There is one in Fushionopolis!! Woooohooo! But. The sad thing is. The dishes are not as fantastic as the ones I had in Phuket and Batam. Even though it was still pretty good, it's not good as I had remembered. Hehs.
