Most PJ folks must have noticed this place, a huge three storey themed restaurant that offers “24 hours couple dining and drinking”. The outside of The Cave looked so forbidding, so rocky and brassy, that I could never allow myself to walk past it without having a peep inside. Yes, despite all the negative reviews that we have heard about the food here, with an adventurous heart, we dropped by one night.
With rock-like formations covering the ceiling and walls, the exotic restaurant is pretty enticing. Upon entrance, we walked through a tunnel and were greeted by the sight of huge dingy cave room with bar and lounges that offer places for chilling out. The stairs will lead us up to more individual cave rooms for couples and small groups while third floor is an open cave area that can accommodates 70 pax. We were then led into our own cave room. The seating is pretty tight where couples have to sit side by side. Dim lights resembling flame torches adorn the cave walls in our little private room so you can hardly read the menu. The menu is pretty extensive, from lamb shank, pasta, steak to soba, smooth egg noodles and sweet sour chicken rice. You name it, they have it. KampungBoy thinks that it’s weird to have “Dai Chou” stuff at such a nice place, so we settled for the set dinner at RM 39++.
Tea
Roma Tomato and Orange Soup with Parmiagiano Stock. The tomato orange soup has an artificial tang to it. It’s more like slurping on extremely sour thinned-out ketchup. To make thing worst, I had mouth ulcer and the sour soup actually aggravate it further. Even KampungBoy is not willing to have another spoonful of it because the sourness is just repellant.
For main we had the Baked Dory Fillet with Tangy Lemon Juice. A tiny slab of dory fillet is served on a bed of greens and mashed. The fish fillet was OK but the gravy was bland.
The saving grace, mix berries crumble with vanilla ice cream comes last. Guess you can’t go wrong with crumbles and vanilla ice cream?
Paid so much. Die die must cam-whore! All in all, I love the cave-theme interior but the menu has failed in keeping with the theme. Imagine having CKT at such a nice place. The food was rather disappointing too; I can’t be so mean because they are still fairly new and probably need some time to ‘settle down’. It would be a great place for chilling out and drinks, but if you ask what about a proper meal? All I can say is let’s just see how thing goes then.

the interior is veri unique n special!but the drinks.. better order normal n safety drinks..i ordered honey dew! not bad..better than fruit punch..haha..but its nice environment..
i’ve went there with my friends.
Awesome place isn’t it? (;
I went there yesterday in a group of 7. We had Chinese dishes with rice, I have opposite opinions, foods are considered not bad (at least for those we have tried), Kangkong belacan (good), Empress Chicken (good), SzeChuan venison (so so), Lamb rib curry (this is good!), Lala Soup (good), Fried taufu (good).
However, the serving is small and it is considered pricey.
i will give it a try at this cafe ^^ thanks for blogging !
may i have the cave pj ss2 contact no
03-78739888/9698. enjoy urself!
is there expensive for the food n drinks??wat is the price there??
The food tasted average only. The menu is quite extensive , but they are quite costly dishes with small portion. Oh, service is pretty slow, even when the customers weren’t many. I finished my drink and ordered a second one before the starter arrived on my table.
we’re going this valentine. hope it has a goooood chef.
Hey hyde, did you make a booking already?
I’m also consider to go there for the coming valentine.
hope u have a pleasant experience there..mind you, the food is OK only but the place is awesome!
Hey …its crazy trying to book for a birthday party….no one pick up the phone. i wonder whether they have wind up the business.
I wonder whether they have wind up the business..trying to book for a birthday party calling more than 100 times no one pick up the phone….crazy..bad service
Hey there, i just got back from the place. The outside changed so much since months ago when i drove past…it looked like a nightclub back then. now it looks much better. the inside is gorgeous and unique, but rather crampy. it’s a 3 floor restaurant, but they don’t have a lift, only staircase. they don’t serve chinese food no more. now only western and japanese. i had the japanese dinner set at rm46. the set included sashimi, unagi, sushi, miso soup, fruits and green tea. the food is okay only, great ambience though. there is wi-fi available too. btw they don’t open on mondays. oh ya, the aircond there really blasts, so be sure to not wear sleeveless, as the aircond is centralised so they are unable to tune it but they offer scarves on request :))
Tonight is me and my bf togehter 2 years anniversary and i wish to go the cave have our candle dinner haha but what i worring is , i scare too expensive leh. 2 person eat rm 50 enough mah???
hello, i wanna ask is The Cave dinner cost expensive? =] how much per person and izzit all set dinner?
