Dinner at BED coffee and lounge

We had better deals with food vouchers recently. It is a nice and inexpensive way to try out a new restaurant or cafe. Just look at the menu available and choose your desired food orders. We bought five vouchers to enjoy a dinner at RM7 which worth RM15 per person.

The vouchers work exactly the same way as a membership card but without the membership fee. 

We arrived at BED coffee and lounge, Bellisa Row in the evening with po po on 18.3.2012.

A perfect place to meet and hang out with old friends. 

All Bed outlets are also wifi equipped, making them an ideal place to meet clients or even with colleagues.

Popcorn Chicken Rice.

Po Po ordered the fried bean noodle. It is too salty.

Drinks-Sprite and Coke. An unique and slanted design glass.

Recently, we used to buy food vouchers online. This is a great opportunity for you to find new deals and coupons online. 

Make sure to call the restaurant before purchasing the voucher. There are some restaurants which participating in the program and might not accept a voucher after some time. This can be pretty frustrating. Do not sit on your vouchers for too long. Note that restaurants may not allow you to use the discount vouchers on holidays.

A lot of restaurants will offer you a deal that sounds great at first, but at last you only applies to a very limited range of dishes. It can be disappointing.

To our surprise, the food at BED coffee and lounge is not bad. We left pretty stuffed and satisfied.
