A day after we came back from our Hong Kong trip, we were invited to attend a new cafe launching somewhere in Subang Jaya. We didn’t know what the event all about is until we arrive, thus I was ill equip to get good photos of the event.
I guess if were to say that I used to watch ”Good Ol’ Happy Days’; many would think that I am an middle age person. Well, not quite yet, but am getting there very soon. ‘Happy Days’ was an American television sitcom that was originally aired from 1974 to 1984 on ABC network which tries to present an ideal American life of the Cunningham family, their friends, and the most recognisable character in the sitcom, Arthur “The Fonz” Fonzarelli, in the mid 1950s to the mid 1960s. Other than the Cunningham house, a drive-in diner call Arnold’s was also one of the back drop for many important conversations and happenings.
In Arnold’s, which got it’s look from a fact of life diner, one would find typical American food, diner style sittings with diners bar top dining, cubicles booths, a Seeburgjukebox and a pinball machine. That is what ‘Good Ol’ Happy Days’ are trying to bring back to the current time. The founder of this newly launch cafe, Fariz Abdullah, came up with this cafe base on ‘Happy Days’ because he felt it would be god sense to share the experience of people from his generation with their children. To share the gyrating music of the Elvis era, to live the Beatles trilogy again, and to show their offspring they were once young and knew how to have fun.
The food offering is of American bistro dining style which shares some similarity with TGIF and Chili’s Tax-Max cuisines. The food or dish names are name after once famous gigs that entertained America, thus it also teaches the younger generation the who’s who of the entertaiment scene in the 60′s & 70′s.
Apart from being the first few to taste their available bistro food, we were also entertained with some dance performance, live band show and eating contest.
In all it was memorable launch event that show case what it had to offer as a eatery outlet and entertainment outlet. As for the food quality, it would only be fair to go back for seconds before we are allowed comment on them.
