It’s like a festival of madness

Café Chulo – in Spanish, chulo is slang for cool. And the place is indeed very cool :) It is our final outing together as a SofLine Team; before we break-up into Team Baz & Team Tex. Sort of like a farewell dinner together cum appreciation for Snow Petrol who have guided us for the past 10 months. We have been through some pretty rough times as a team…but thank GOD, we managed to close 2010. Actually, there will be a new Director for Team Baz & Team Tex. Snow Petrol…will be leading the Private Label Team. To be honest, after seeing Snow Petrol putting in so much of effort into the SoftLine Team, laying the foundation for the future...it’s a bit sad to see Snow Petrol go :( Snow Petrol will not be able to enjoy the fruits of the labor.

Bathed in blue and decked out in glass, Café Chulo evokes a very resort feel. We, of course; chose to be seated on the highest level of their open-air roof garden where the action is…and the whole place was ours the whole night :) The bar inside offers plenty of room to lounge but why bother when you can do that on their rooftop? :) Dining is done alfresco-style, overlooking the crowd in Jaya One.

Café Chulo is located at Jaya One. The concept of Jaya One is pretty nice; situated in the middle island surrounded by the shops lie four small blocks of double story restaurant buildings. While a few restaurants take up both levels, some only occupies a single floor. The upper level of the four blocks are connected via a series of (slightly confusing) walkways with plenty of alfresco-style dining area. Pretty unique and very comfortable. Cafe Chulo is one of the modern Spanish restaurants/pubs on level one with about half of its tables located outdoor. We certainly enjoyed ourselves at Cafe Chulo; the food was good, with great drinks under a very nice ambiance, a very positive dining experience of foreign cuisine without breaking the bank. Their ice-blended mojito (RM16), is their specialty :)
