No, not Lian Bee, its THE BEE

Though food should be its main avenue, I have to regard The Bee for its one of a kind décor. Stark amongst the pine themed contemporary furnitures stood an antique sofa chair on the main plateau, while somewhere on the countertop sat an antique dialer (which we can’t help but to point it to our friends and squeak a little delight)!
The place screams purrrrrr-fect for chilling out- the temperature is just so right! Open concept with a subtle hint of air conditioning exudes airiness that bathes you happy while you are enjoying your meal or simply yacking the afternoon away.
Upon revealing its menu, we find ourselves deciding between western, Italian, Mexican, Japanese, well basically fusions of all fusions. For the calorie calculators, you can always count on the healthy salads, wraps and sandwiches; for the glutton clan, good news: never-out-of-date, juicy, succulent burgers are just a call away!
Feeling ultra responsible for my waistline, I decided on the Roasted Pumpkin Couscous Salad. My salada looked so pretty when it arrived, but it tasted even more gorgeous than it looked. The golden pumpkin was not only roasted to perfection, it was also marinated with some sweet tangy sauce that just, just melts in your mouth, complete with that blissful frown on the face! Baked well, the pumpkin is just at the right hardness, strands of vegetable fibre adding even more interesting texture to it. The greens was nothing less than fresh and crisp, sprinkled with cider that tickles my taste bud pink. Thanks to the generous but tactful amount of olive oil, it was neither too soggy nor too dry, just the way I like it! Handful of golden couscous rice peeked behind and between the leaves, camouflaging peanut chunks that adds great munch to the salad. The salad in whole is refreshing and filling at the same time; crunchy, soft, crisp, tender, everything! Priced at RM12, I would say it is well worth the money.
Not to mention that the service they provide was efficient and polite, plus the presence of wi-fi and sufficient plug points certainly attract us folks to stay. On the other hand, The Bee as an individually owned restaurant is highly supportive of local art and music scene, as tickets to most art and music festivals are available for sale here. i.e: Klue Urbanscapes tickets! They also have live performance on selected nights, which I think certainly will pump up their guest rate.
p.s: If you happen to spot a girl at The Bee munching salad in the most unladylike manner, you can be assured that it’s me.













I would rate them 4/5! 
And before you visit Uncle Google, The Bee is located at Jaya One, PJ.
