Location: Jumbrella Cafe, Sibu’s Gateway.

Tourists and locals often come to Sibu’s Gateway and hang out in the evening. Jumbrella is a bistro located right in the middle of action. But you know that I have serious problem with eating places located at tourist areas. My past experience told me that usually these places made expensive but awful food.

We arrived tonight. A beautiful evening indeed. We didn’t know what to expect.

We ordered a Tiramisu Coffee Blended, Champagne Ice Blended and a Big Beef Jumbo Burger.

I had enough. No flowery reviews.

The food was awful and expensive.

The Tiramisu Coffee Ice Blended looked better than it tasted. It had annoyingly coarse ice cubes, the blended ice wasn’t smooth at all, the coffee was boring and the milk foam placed on top was not milky or creamy. I couldn’t taste the coffee, couldn’t taste the ice cream, couldn’t taste the chocolate, It’s just very very blank. Highly forgettable. And that cost me RM 7.50.

The Champagne Ice Blended was even a bigger joke. Again, I couldn’t taste much of its flavor. I don’t know how to describe. It tasted like some chemicals. Avoid at all cost.

The house specialty, The Beef Jumbo Burger, consisted of soggy buns, fried egg, fried frozen beef, cheese slice, welt lettuce and what else but lots of ketchup and mayonaise. Just poorly made.

Jumbrella perhaps is a good place to hang out with friends and family, to unwind yourself and gazing at the night sky. But in terms of the food, just as I feared, typical tourist food.

We are being nice actually to award Jumbrella with 1 1/2 star.
