Tabletalk is a huge disappointment. I was expecting much from this wonderfully designed restaurant and I was so badly disappointed with the level of food I had. But the ultimate deal breaker was the coffee. Tabletalk is located as the same row as Devi's in TTDI, however, it is the first shop in the end of the lane.
It has interior setting of a wonderful hotel restaurant - wooden floor, foldable glass door, patio and plants everywhere. If it wasn't for the bustling traffic opposite, it would feel really wonderful to just seat down for a cup of coffee and enjoy the morning peacfulness.
We were attended to by a wonderful waiter from Bangladesh. He has been working in the hospitality line for the past few years and it ain't small hotels, he was working for hotels like Shangrila! One of his customer recommended him to be promoted in this restaurant, so here he is.
I just had to take a picture of the interior because it was just so classicly designed!

This was horrible. It was dilute to begin with. The ratio of coffee to milk was all off. I didn't bother finishing my drink anyways.

This was worst. Similarly, it was so dilute that it tasted pretty much like water. We made the waiter checked what was wrong with their machine, they were using the machine, so such problem shouldn't be present. The waiter found out that the worker handling the machine did not caliberate the machine apprioprately and it had apparently caused the beans to turn too thin, hence the water sipped through easily which caused the dilution.
On a side note, their baristas are NOT qualified barista, the waiter told us himself. So, do not expect 5 star coffee because clearly I didn't get my dose of perfection. And yes they still charged us for the coffee even though we didn't even touch much of it.

At least their breakfast set was decent. It was served with potato roastie, sausages, turkey ham, baked beans, scrambled eggs, toasted wheat bread and sauteed vegetables. I felt the baked beans were weird in taste, it wasn't your usual red baked beans but rather it was slightly purplish and the beans were larger than usual. The sauteed vegetables were completely unnecessary and it wasn't even delicious to begin with.
The whole meal caused us about RM 30 and I wasn't even satisfied with any of the food. I wouldn't go back any time sooner. First impression counts and the first impression they left on me was horrible. Perhaps their breakfast set was horrible, I've read blogs praising their main courses, perhaps that is something to look out for when I gain back my confidence for this new restaurant.
