The Gate Cafe • Taiping — Restaurant in Perak

Fast forward to 2024, August 17th : We come again because new look, new management I guess. Yet still disappointed, food was presentable but taste is so 👎. Nasi Goreng Chicken Chop had weird smell bad taste like card board, cannot finish it. Potato salad is bland, don't know wether it's salad or mashed potato. Only mushroom soup with garlic bread is OK. Need to improve more.

I used to come here since 5 to 6 years ago. Everytime it was either awesome or just OK. But today I ordered fish n chip and I got frustrated. 1st because it came late (2 table after me already ate the same menu but I didn't get mine). After ask for few times n my food came. The vegetables is not fresh n coleslaw got some smell, i can tell its really smelly. And wonder why this time my fish n chip only got 1piece. I look at my next table (the 2table came after that order the same menu as me) they got 2pieces fish in their plate. Is it count by piece or gram I don't know but this is the 1st time I got just 1piece in my plate. I'm sorry if I say this, but The Gate Cafe is not that awesome cafe I'm used to visit past years. Please improve as Gate Cafe is already...

Slow service. Unfriendly service except for the chubby male staff. The waiters need to learn how to put a smile while serving customer. We ordered 1 aglio olio with remarks " Extra portions & extra spicy " and 1 carbonara with remarks " extra portions & extra creamy ". The male staff in orange/red shirt (maybe supervisor and the server name is Pali) came and ask " portion apa eh yg lebih? kuah lebih?" then we replied, spaghetti lebih and kuah lebih. Then he leave and kick in the order in their pos system. When they pass the bill to us, we were shocked that he put "kuah lebih" at the aglio olio. How come a supervisor have a very low knowledge about their menu? Aglio Olio takde kuah la dey. Carbonara ada la. Simple common sense. The kuah is like a pool of blood. Turn off. Would never recommend this place to anyone since the lack of superior staff knowledge. We will just leave this review as a couple who works more than three years as...

Overall their food is just so so. Price wise is kind of over price if you may ask.

Carbonara no taste, just watery cream. Their chicken chop that comes with it is just covered with flour and the meat is just 3mm I would say. Don’t let their pictures trick you 😉.

Lamb shank is good, nice marination. But they serve with a whole lot of mash potatoes underneath I don’t know for what.

The curry kapitan they have is good. The only food that is strong with traditional flavour and portion wise is just good for 1 person.

Drinks i don’t recommend, we ordered manggo jug which cost about RM11.50 but no mango taste.

In the end we need to order one more drink just to feel the satisfaction so we ordered crazy chocolate milkshake. This drink is nice but bit too sweet as their toppings are crazy.

I can only say order at your own risk. In the end we paid about RM100++. So you...
