Takahashi, kinta city, second flour, in between K-box and. 10% with K-box member card but unluckily I do not have it. It’s like restourant cum cafe, but I felt disppointed for no Japanese coffee is serve, I just can found Ipoh White Coffee. We had choosed Curry rice and pizza from the menu. I forgot the actual names on the menu.
高桥咖啡馆，座于怡保近打城，三楼。隔壁是K-box, 另一遍是欢喜地。K-box 会员有九折。可是我没有。这里是日本咖啡馆，却没有日本咖啡，只有怡保白咖啡，有点失望。从菜单，选了两样，日本咖哩饭和比萨。不记得菜单上的名。

Teriyaki Chicken pizza RM20++ | 磨菇比萨

Pizza served here most is using cream cheese and no tomato paste was used. This is the first time I try cream cheese pizza, taste good. The pizza base is thin crust, taste okay, crust is crispy and nice. Main ingredients are mushroom and chicken but it was hard to find where the chicken is, luckily I able to eat some mushroom, at least. Overall, I prefer Coconut Tree’s pizza at Melaka. Both pizza are similar. There’s Takahashi Pizza on the menu which banana is used. At the moment, I do not have the courage to try it yet.

这里的比萨都用奶油奶酪，没用番茄酱。第一次吃奶油奶酪比萨，不错。比萨低，脆又香，好吃。主要的材料应该是磨菇和鸡肉，奇怪，怎么找不到鸡肉。磨菇倒吃到，鸡肉呢？和椰子树的一样，都用薄皮，相较之下，我选椰子树。它的招牌比萨- Takahashi Pizza 是用香蕉，我还没有心理准备试吃。

P/S If you want to have some Japanese cuisine, not recommended. 如果想要享用日本料理，不建议。

加哩普通，味道不够，只有咸和甜味。还是喜欢新井日本料理及和乐日本料理的加哩。味道比较到味。

Last night K-box incident, I think I should stay in my tiny office corner to have my low cost sandwich as my lunch. Lunch of the day, bacon sandwich. Ingredients were obtained from balance stock in the kitchen.

K-box一夜，泪一把。今日午餐，自备三文治。材料取于厨房的存货。
