\"backstage
\nInitial negative reviews of Backstage Cafe have prevented me from visiting the cafe, decorated in an industrial, spacious way with tall ceiling<\/strong>, in an industrial park. But the cafe has given thought\u00a0to feedback, and improved over the past year: mainly, dinner hours are extended till 9pm<\/strong>, and there is a new chef<\/strong> who insists on quality ingredients. He changes the set lunch<\/strong> (11am-2pm) menu regularly, at about $15 for 3 courses.<\/p>\n

\"backstage
\nHis insistence on good ingredients pays off. The roasted spring chicken<\/strong> ($15) came as stunning\u00a0as the handsome, curly-haired waiter in the cafe–a breath of fresh air. On first bite, the fresh, not frozen, chicken presented no resistance to teeth. It had a natural sweetness that matured into the tangy Cajun marinate. This was a winner.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"backstage
\nEqually tasty was the addictive prawn aglio olio<\/strong> ($15), which came with a generous number of bouncy prawns. For garlic lovers, this is a must order. Abundant\u00a0in garlic, sweetened by white wine, the dish left a mild tingly spiciness.<\/p>\n

\"backstage
\nAlthough we did like the taste of BBQ pork ribs<\/b> ($20), it was tough. The other dishes we sampled,\u00a0smoked salmon benedict\u00a0<\/strong>($15), and\u00a0waffles\u00a0<\/strong>($8, additional $2.50 for ice cream), were acceptable. The\u00a0coffee<\/strong>\u00a0($4.50-$8) wasn’t bad too, robust with hints of smoky nuttiness and chocolate, not bitter at all.<\/p>\n

\"backstage
\nThese days, newfangled cafes\u00a0pay attention only to concepts, not food. But at Backstage Cafe,\u00a0it is an all-rounder: delicious and affordable food; great ambience; and a handsome waiter like a movie star. Bonus: ask for complimentary parking when you spend above $20.<\/em><\/p>\n
