Faraway Cafe: Neither here nor there
M-Dawg and I had dinner at Faraway Cafe, just south of the Gongti West club zone, after foregoing kangaroo burgers at Jack’s (more on that place in a future issue). He gave a thumb up to the goat cheese and vegetable salad, but found the chicken rolls a bit skimpy on the meat. Also on the runway model end of plumpness was my half-chicken (55 kuai), the meager meat an insufficient match for the rich sauce on the green peppers, zucchinis and onions. Faraway Cafe has a nice outdoor seating area, which will be pleasant come spring, though the interior is a bit Spartan. The big screen showing Chinese soap operas is just plain annoying. Final words to M-Dawg: “The presentation [of the food] is relatively professional, but the decor leaves me cold.”
