Dating with mom at OIC Cafe

I'm staying with mom for a few days while my husband is away for a short business trip. Mom and I decided to have dinner outside on Sunday evening. We drove to Bandar Baru Medan and scouted the area for a restaurant. We decided to have something at the "Festival Walk". Parked our car and took a stroll along the restaurants that filled up the street. Mom wanted to have Japanese food at "Sushi Zento" but it's so full and people were still queuing outside the restaurant. 

So, we ended up at OIC Cafe. I had tried the branch in Greentown and thought it was good, and wanted to bring mom there. But the branch at Festival Walk serves different type of food. Well..sort of more fast food and less varieties. Even the interior is very different. This one is very colourful and feel vibrant & young. Children will love it here. Whereas the branch in Greentown look more classy with the contemporary design.

We chose something which has the 'thumb up' icon in the menu. Mom chose one which has 3 'thumbs up' (OIC dry chicken rice) and I chose one which has 2 'thumbs up'.(OIC fried chicken rice). Thumbs up should be good right? 

The presentation of the food and drink were quite impressive. Heart shape rice and classy glass for ice water. =D 

For the dry chicken rice (bottom right), chicken is a bit too spicy for me but it tasted ok. Jus that it was served a bit cold. My fried chicken (top right) was good with the sambal and it was served hot. Both of us didn't like the type of rice they use. It's just not very appetizing and slightly dry. If they would have use a better quality rice, the dish would be perfect for the price of RM9.00 (fried chicken rice) and 9.50 (dry chicken rice). One other comment, they should really have a thorough cleaning of their fork and spoon!! The type of utensils they use can easily trap food and difficult to clean. (the area pointed with arrow)  

(Didn't take any photos of the fork and spoon. Found one from Alibaba.com that look similar)
