Jibby & Co @ Empire Shopping Gallery, Subang – Paige & Baldwin celebrated my birthday dinner. Aww...they are so sweet and thoughtful.
A new makan place – a standalone building; the café from the roof down to its front façade features steel and glass that is immediately classy and reminiscent of the high-end New York restaurants. The furnishing is rustic while maintaining a clean and polished surfaces. Bare concrete is sufficiently mixed with brick for the walls and bar counter, while parquet graces the floor to dispel the industrial chic of many a recent café. Horizontal blinds built into the structure itself reduces the blinding tropical light streaming in from floor to ceiling glass windows – the entire structure is essentially glass panels held up by a steel skeleton. Furnishings include tables of solid wood and marble with heavy black steel chairs. The furnishings include showcases and shelves filled with tea pots and cups. The front door itself is gold coloured brass with “Jibby & Co” tastefully emblazoned upon it with the confidence of a law firm. Suffice to say, this is a top notch establishment that attempts to be worthy of Carrie Bradshaw and her compatriots from Sex and the City.
The pricing of the menu reflects its quality. Let’s just say that this café prices itself at the highest end of restaurant cafes in KL. A truly halal establishment, the menu features an eclectic cuisine with Western, Middle Eastern and Asian dishes. Najib Abdul Rahman, the executive chef of the Serai chain of restaurants, truly shines in delivering a culinary piece de resistance. Service was attentive without being intrusive and sufficient staff was on hand to manage the number of customers. Overall, Jibby & Co will turn out to be a signature locale with its combination of sophisticated cosmopolitan ambience and its impressive gastronomical experience. It's one heck of a classy experience to enjoy your daily dose of goodness here in this standalone premium café.
