This was my 3rd time at the Hash Cafe and it was pleasant. The atmosphere in the cafe is not the best that I've experienced, but it wasn't the worst. It was well-lit, but comparing this cafe to the previous one located at GalaCity - the space there was a lot more cramped but cozy, this new (quite new, I've never actually sat down to dine-in here, only take-outs) cafe was exponentially larger and a lot more spacious. I do not usually relax in cafes in daylight, so I cannot speak for the environment earlier in the day, but at night, it's pretty calming and quiet, save for some customers that bustle from some tables.
My mother and I ordered a cup of hot Cappuccino and iced Strawberry Milk respectively, and altogether, it was relatively cheaper than some cafes that I've been to. The Strawberry Milk isn't the same as it used to be, the milk froth was much thicker back then and the presentation was much prettier with strawberry syrup drizzle on top. My mother had noted that there was less foam on her Cappuccino unlike other cafes that we've been to, but due to personal preference, she actually enjoyed less foam. But again, if you'd like more foam, it's better to request it at the counter than expect it.
For bites, we ordered the Strawberry King Waffle, Beef on Cheese Pizza, and a slice of Strawberry Shortcake. The Strawberry King Waffle was tasty, the waffles themselves were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the thin crispiness is a great texture in contrast to the gooey soft insides, so when you bite down, it's a pleasant experience. My mother had mentioned that it was too sweet for her taste, but in my opinion, it was just right. The vanilla ice cream was a great combination to the waffle and the way I ate it was to slather some ice cream into a square dip of the waffle and top it off with a cut strawberry, cut out the square and eat it in one bite. The Strawberry jam that was drizzled on the waffle was delicious in its sweetness in comparison with the strawberries that had a sour kick to it. I'm not into sour fruits, by any means, but it's quite refreshing to have the strawberry there to deter the overwhelming heaviness of the waffle and ice cream combo.
The Beef On Cheese Pizza was fantastic, the crispiness was done well and the toppings were nicely spread out for equal slices. The taste of the pizza was not too salty. I cannot say too much about the pizza since I am not too big of a fan of it, but it was pretty good. The Strawberry Shortcake was relatively nice and not too sweet. The sponge layer of the cake was soft and light, and the strawberry cream was not too heavy on the taste buds. It's a very light cake that many would love.
In terms of customer service, the staff were very attentive and respectful. I didn't spend too much overall since my total was about 70-ish ringgit, and the experience wasn't too bad. I would recommend it to people who are looking for a new cafe to explore. 8/10.
