New cafe?

I havent been hanging out at night lately until last night... Bonous is out for Brunei's public servants and man, the jam after 5pm to the shopping complexs are sooo terrible. One couldnt go anywhere without feeling frusturation (even in Yayasan it was packed!). Then again, you dont really see this kind of environment (jams, huge number of people in shopping malls) in BRunei often... hehe...
Anyway, a few days ago we past by the Gadong Scouts Hq and we saw to its corner, "yam cha" area and we told ourselves to stop by there and check out the place one of these days and yesterday was the time.
Well, the place is called Traders Cafe (supposedly part of Traders Inn?), but after entering the place, we realize that the place could be owned by the same person who owns Sin You Mei. Traders Cafe is different since it do not serve pork hence muslims can technically, eat there.
Prices of the food are ok... but some like sweet and sour chicken rice can costs $6.00 (add 50 cents for fried rice) where normally you can get it from $4.50 for each plate. If eating in a group of 3 or 4, you can order dishes and prices starts at $8.00 per plate. We ordered the sizziling tofu, the small one which costs $6.00 and the portion is good.
Overall the food is not bad but next time, i prefer to sit outside where the smell of the cooking isnt so unpleasent (oily bah...)
