The restaurant offers seating for one hundred and thirty people. They also offer a number of flexible areas events like cocktail parties, birthdays, set dinner, etc.
The interiors of the restaurant offer a modern setting which is rather unpretentious. The seating arrangement has been divided into two sections, the first being in the ground floor. A flight of stairs leads to the mezzanine floor which has another seating arrangement.
The fresh Caesar Salad has a lot of elements going. The crunchy texture with a bit of bitter flavor that comes from the romaine lettuce and the sour taste from the acidic dressing are the perfect match. Topped with roasted chicken strips, this dish makes for a perfect starter.
4 pieces of chicken wings are deep fried and served unbreaded and coated with cayenne pepper hot sauce. It must be taken hot when the skin is crispy and is perfect to go with beer.
This is another delicacy that the restaurant offers. The dish is sweet and tangy beef short ribs which are cooked in an oven and then finished over a grill by putting the homemade barbeque sauce over it.
This is a pure American-style burger that is made with extra cheese. To get more juices to the succulent bacon, you can stuff the lettuce and tomato that come with it.
Mac and cheese is made of special macaroni and cheese. It appeals to those who love smooth and creamy texture. .
This is a French recipe and is made of Chicken Ham along with slices of Swiss cheese. The preparation is sautéed and breaded. It is a yummy dish that adds paprika along with wine sauce that is creamy white.
Rack of Lamb is the roasted rib of lamb which tastes absolutely wonderful. This delicious Western recipe has been given with the use of typical native condiments.
This Chocolate Volcano is topped with generous amount of chocolate and vanilla mousse. Scoop from the top to the bottom will you get the mousses, flourless cake and the melted chocolate that make the dessert simply hard to resist.
A good cheese cake should not be just creamy, it should be smooth, less sweetened with a hint of tartness. This one has the standard.

We talked to two ladies who happened to visit Bob’s Kitchen for the first time and asked how they felt about the restaurant. They have nothing to complain about the interior for its nice and cozy ambience. As for the food quality, out of 10, they gave 7.5 as they felt the Chicken Fajita is somewhat tough and not marinated well enough.

I didn’t have a great food experience here. Tacos was nothing close to the illustration in the menu . Infact the only vegetables I had in my tacos was the dry cabbage besides the mushrooms which i opted for and bits of cheese here and there. As for the country fried steak it was greasy and bland. This two dishes was the recommended ones in the menu.Keeping this in mind I dread to think how the others would taste. I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone as the food here is very dear . The total bill charged to us for poor service, poor food and unique environment was RM76.50 inclusive of a cup of peppermint & english breakfast tea each.
We are sorry to hear your bad experience about the food. We were told that the first master chef at Bob’s Kitchen was temporarily transferred from Singapore and during that period, food was good. It seems that the standard has dropped recently. We will feedback to the owner about this and we are sure he’ll take this seriously and resolve the problem.
