Dim Sum at Celestial Court, Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur Hotel

We recently visited the newly revamped Celestial Court at Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur for some delectable brunch we’ve been craving for awhile.

Dim Sum Chef Ken, never fails to tantalize the taste buds. Whether it is the simplest of Cantonese cuisine, using a harmony of ingredients and the freshest product, or a gourmet of Cantonese delights with seasonal delicacies where one can look forward to a completely divine meal.

明炉烤特色酿鸡肉干 Grilled Stuffed Honey Glazed Dried Chicken Meat with Seafood Mousse served with “Man Tou” | RM10/piece

This was one of the few most notable dish we’ve had in the restaurant. The bakkwa was definitely worth the devotion from its appearance to taste and paired beautifully with the subtle Seafood Mousse along with the ‘Man Tou’ to balance the umami.

Note: Minimum order of 2 pieces!

咸水角 “Ham Sui Kok “Glutinous Rice Dumplings with Minced Chicken | RM18

These golden beauties has just the right balance of sweetness from the glutinous rice and savory from the minced chicken. No doubt a treat that everyone craves while having dim sum.

黄金咸蛋虾球 Prawn Paste Ball with Bitter Gourd in Salted Egg Yolk and Pumpkin Sauce | RM22

I was truly obsessed with the instant oomph of salted egg yolk and pumpkin sauce along with the fresh crunchy prawn in my mouth. It was just so addictive! Definitely worth the hype.

天宝阁烧卖 Signature Prawn and Chicken Siew Mai | RM22

The MUST HAVE on every diner’s table. As a sucker for Siew Mai, I just want to hog this all to myself. You could taste how fresh the chicken and prawn were. Simply yum!

黑蒜鳗鱼饺 Seafood and Black Garlic Dumpling Topped with Savory Unagi | RM28

As for the unagi lovers out there, you’ll be awed by this! I love how the black garlic wasn’t too pungent. Usually I’m not much of a fan for eel dishes but this was exceptional.

烟熏三文鱼千丝卷 Golden Fried Smoked Salmon Kataifi Roll with Seafood Mousse and Avocado served with Mix Fruit Salad | RM25

Satisfying crunch from the golden kataifi rolls locking the salmon’s moisture and barely overcooked. Its refreshing how its served with some fruit salad resting at the bottom of the salmon kataifi roll, Look at the amount of roes topped on it tho!😍

香煎泡菜锅贴 Pan Fried Dumpling with Chicken, Shrimp and Kimchi | RM18

Versatile juicy, crispy dumplings with meat and veggies pan-fried to golden perfection. Words can’t express my fillings for you.😋

It was nice catching up with the two chefs behind the wonderful Celestial Court’s kitchen. I totally understand why the restaurant gets really packed on weekends because everyone is obsess with their Imperial Dim Sum Brunch for RM138 nett only! You guys should check out their ala carte menu as well! I’ll publish it real soon.

Sen Kee Satay 仙记沙爹 at Desa Aman Puri

Sen Kee Satay has been operating since 1976 (42 years old) now along with Uncle Yap‘s daughter and grandson who’s currently the 3rd generation running the stall. It all started when Uncle Yap used to sell chicken and ducks at a local market.

He was also the poultry supplier for a satay stall opened by an Indonesian named Omar where he then discreetly learned how to make his own satay knowing this could help him during the economic bad phase.

“Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and diligence!” – Abigail Adams

There weren’t many Chinese vendors who sells satay back in those days and oh, one skewer only cost 0.25 cents back then! But as there were getting more and more vendors popping about, Uncle Yap needs to come up with a unique selling point for his stall.

It sparks him when someone asked him “Why have you not thought of selling duck satay?” Though it was a rather hard protein to cope with, Uncle Yap didn’t gave up on trying different types of duck and marination to retain its moisture and getting rid of its gamey flavors.

Cucumbers & Onions Add-on (RM1.50)

Satay Sauce (RM11/500gm, RM22/kg)

Their peanut sauce wasn’t like the ones we often had topped with sambal. The peanuts were still carefully toasted by wok to give a touch of ‘wok hei’.

13-15 kgs of the sauce was prepared daily as he’d often get regulars (especially vegetarians) who’d just come for the sauce while having it with the sliced onions and cucumbers! Unfortunately they don’t offer ketupat rice cakes here.

Duck Satay (RM1.50/skewer)

Uncle Yap wasn’t jesting about how he was able to retain the moisture without even a tang of gameyness in the duck satay. It was absolutely pleasurable just having it by its own as well!

Chicken Satay (RM1/skewer)

Their chicken satay was pretty good and well marinated with just the right amount of char. Plain juicy lean meat without any chicken skin skewered in between.

Other than the Chicken & Duck Satay I’ve ordered, there’s Pork & Lamb Satay as well. Sorry, no beef.

Every night there would be at least 500 skewers sold but on the weekends it could go up to 1000 skewers! You’ve got to be there earlier to avoid the long wait.

Chong Kok Kopitiam at Klang

We dropped by at this old, bustling coffee shop strategically located just across the Klang KTM Station for a quick breakfast before we head over to Pulau Ketam. Chong Kok Kopitiam is apparently one of the oldest operating coffee shop in Klang.

The multiracial community here makes the ambiance so much more effervescent. Do not hesitate to share a table as it is packed almost everyday especially the weekends.

Roti Bakar 2 Keping – Butter dan Kaya (RM3.50)

Generous spread of ‘kaya’ coconut jam and actual butter instead of margarine slapped in between the lightly toasted toast. It’s still a little fluffy on the inside which makes it a lot more palatable. Not to mention their homemade kaya that tasted really authentic.

Roti 1 Keping – Butter dan Kaya

Personally I’ve always preferred my toast toasted over steamed. This time I’ve got to love how cotton-like soft and piping hot it was. There’s definitely something about their kaya that makes it so addictive.

Nasi Lemak

You’ll see these prepacked Nasi Lemak just in front of the cashier. The fluffy perfectly cooked rice plus the sambal makes it simply remarkable with just the right amount of heat in it.

Fried Mee Hoon

Economical fried mee hoon may be the breakfast choice of some as it is simply satisfying and filling though there’s no particular wow-factor about it.

Milo (RM2.70/Kecil)

It was a little too sweet for my liking, way too generous with the spoonful of Milo powder and sugar. Getting a cup of their signature Cham C would be highly recommended though!

Worth a visit especially for visitors who are planning a day trip to Klang.

The Stars of Culinary at Nook shine this August at Aloft Kuala Lumpur Sentral

This August, Nook at Aloft Kuala Lumpur Sentral will give center stage to 5 of its chefs, each with their own specialty dishes to be featured on the buffet line! Proclamations of “Merdeka” are often heard nationwide this August as it is our Independence Day on 31st August but as fellow Malaysians regardless what the occasion is, it is not a celebration without food.

The team of 5 chefs include, 36 years-old Mohd Haffizi Bin Aledul Ginani, known to all as Chef Fizi. He is the man in charge of the appetizers who sets one’s heart on their fellow diners appetite at Nook.

Gado-gado

The peanut sauce simply tantalizes my taste buds. As simple as this salad may look or sound, it was definitely a lip-smacking dish to begin with.

Asian Chicken Noodle Salad

Refreshing, light and healthy dish, I love how the noodles are not thoroughly cooked giving it some nice light crunch to it, Chicken was well-marinated and really garlicky!

Shrimp with Pomelo & Watercress Salad

Shrimp matches perfectly with bittersweet citrus fruit, making it such a lively appetiser to begin with. It reminded me a lot like the Yam Som-O I’ve had during my trip to Thailand.

The second chef to be featured for the month will be Chef Muhammad Hafiz Bin Izham, a 29-years old from Pahang who specializes in Malay cuisine. He will be serving up his specialty dishes as per below!

Fried Crispy Sea Bass with Green Curry Gravy

A simple rich, delicious and creamy green curry with sea bass was bursting with bright, bold flavors. You’ll catch yourself scooping for more green curry topped on a hearty bowl of rice.

Spiced Eel Soup

Warm and filling perfect for rainy weathers, this soup was truly heart yet so flavorful. The eel has a really nice texture to it and wasn’t too chewy.

Gulai Pisang Muda

One of the few dishes that got everyone’s head turning when served. Just the look on the rich and sweet coconut gravy makes one mouth-watered.

The Chinese cuisine on the buffet will be prepared by the hands of Chef Emmanuel Chang Lin Con, a 32-years old who hails from Malacca.

Kam Heong Chicken with Dried Chili

Fragrantly distinctive flavors from the sauce paired perfectly with the lightly crisp chicken. The aroma itself yearning for a bite.

Butter Prawn with Oats

One of the all-time favorite dish at the buffet counter, this dish is no stranger to Nook’s regular diners. The prawns were crunchy, juicy and evenly coated with oats.

Wok-fried Mussels with Black Bean Gravy

Beautifully wok-fried with dried chilies giving some nice heat to it. Mussels were really fresh and complemented the rich, fragrant black bean gravy really well.

Nook’s buffet will be also feature a spread of Western and Fusion dishes by their Sous Chef, Ahmed Zaki bin Harun, the maestro of fusion cooking will be plating up a variety of dishes.

Braised Chicken Rendang Pasta

This ultimate fusion dish, full of ri1ch and warming flavors will definitely have you grabbing for more. Chef Zaki does not jokes around when it comes to his fusion dishes.

Daging Masak Hitam

This rather famous ambrosial Malay dish was one of a kind. The beef was braised till soft and tender complementing the flavorsome dark sweet sauce perfectly. What’s missing right here is a bowl of rice!

Quattro Formaggi Pizza

Inspired from his days when Chef Zaki was based at Southern Italy, this classic four cheese pizza has to be one of the most wonderful combinations of bread and cheese imaginable.

No buffet is ever complete without a dessert spread. On the dessert bar, you’ll find delectable creations of Chef Zahrin Mohamad bin Madzlan.

Bubur Som Som

This local dessert was inspired by Chef Zahrin’s mother. A little drizzle of Gula Melaka to complement the coconut rice flour porridge with some freshly diced jackfruit. Perfect to have after a heavy feast!

Brownie Tower

And what’s a feast without brownie tower!

Pandan Tiramisu in a Coffee Cup

Decadent little tiramisu with a twist of local ingredient bursting with a shot of espresso.

Nook’s buffet dinner is priced at RM108 nett per adult and RM54 nett per child for kids aged between 6 to 12-years old on Sundays to Thursdays.

Melipoly at TasteFully Food & Beverage Expo 2018

Melipoly booth at TasteFully Food & Beverage Expo 2018

One of Malaysia’s largest Food & Beverage Expo are back last weekend with much more to proffer! Melipoly is a vertically integrated beekeeping enterprise based in the pristine rainforests of Malaysia that produce natural honey of the highest quality. They take extra measures and employ nature-friendly methods to ensure that their honey is 99.99% pure and organic so that consumers can enjoy the true health benefits of real honey.

They’ve also got a strict “no additives” policy that has been practiced throughout their entire production. Other than that, by establishing themselves as a vertically integrated enterprise, they can ensure the purity of their honey and the quality of every single aspect of their products, simply because they’re in full control of the entire honey production and supply chain, from the bee farms to the collection, the processing, and even the packaging.

Not only honey is one of the oldest sweeteners on Earth, these thick gooey goodness work wonders and plays a huge role in our health and lifestyle. It’s great for the skin, heart, absolute energy booster and also an effective cough suppressant!

Did you know in ancient India, it was even believed that could ward off evil spirits and ensure a happy romantic life? Time to stock up some honeys, mate!

Here are some of their products and they’re proud to say the honey produced are 100% raw honey made in a natural environment and there’s no sugar, additives, coloring, artificial flavors or preservatives are added to the honey, maintaining its original form. It is also unheated, unpasteurized and unprocessed honey so it contains a broad range of nutrients and essential trace elements for various health benefits.

Apis Cerana – 280gm (RM51)

The rainforests in Malaysia are rich in natural forage sources for bees where wild honeys taste often richer and full-bodied with some smoky hints of caramel flavors in it. Colors can be ranged from dark golden color to russet too as dark honey contains high amount of natural antioxidants.

Stingless Bee – 280gm (RM111)

Stingless bee honey are produced by the Meliponine Stingless Bees from the tropical rainforest where they gather nectar from a tremendous variety of plants to produce a tangy honey that is rich in trace elements and organic acids. Though the texture is a lot more runny and lighter in color than regular honey, it’s totally natural and no water was added! I’ve got to love that nice hints of zest and plum in it.

Multifloral – 280gm (RM51)

Produced by our fellow Malaysian Honey Bees in our local rainforest, these bees forage from a wide variety of forest trees and plants to produce a dark golden-hued honey with a amazing fresh, floral fragrance. One of my personal favorite! The diverse nectar sources results in a honey that is rich with a wide range of minerals and micro-nutrients.

Melipoly Stingless Bee Honey 500gm would be the perfect gift for your loved ones. Highly recommended for senior citizens who are diabetic, has high blood pressure and high cholesterol. One tablespoon a day only!

These chocolates are produced by Melipoly as well! 64% Belgian Chocolate with Multifloral Honey, Kurma & Almond. Chocolates with additional health benefits? Not guilty at all!

One word to describe Melipoly? Genuine, truly what something is said to be. From its taste and texture, you’ll know how genuine it is from how soothing it is down your throat.😏 The honey is totally different from the sickly sweet ones you often find in your local supermarket or ones drizzled on your pancakes and waffles.

Almond Siah, Director of Melipoly at TasteFully Food & Beverage Expo 2018

Do not hesitate to ask ‘King Bee’ Almond Siah regarding on anything to do with honey! He could even give you tips on differentiating natural and adulterated products.

Rasa Utara at Berjaya Times Square

The Northern fare Rasa Utara is celebrating its 34th year of business, and currently the outlet operating in Berjaya Times Square aims to serve the best of Northern inspired cuisines.

Ironic enough, throughout my studies in this building I’ve never thought of walking into this restaurant before as it was a little beyond the ‘student budget’ and most of my course mates would often prefer Western cuisines.

Spicy Chicken Chicken – RM18.80

The fried chicken was deep-fried to golden perfection and unbelievably juicy hot with crisp cracklingly flavorful skin though it wasn’t thickly coated with batter. This would go so well with a plate of Nasi Jagung.

Legendary Chicken Fried Chicken – RM18.80

If you love your food with some good amount of heat in it, this signature chicken dish with their homemade stir-fried chili paste will blow your mind. Though fried chicken was a little dry but you’ll find yourself reaching for spoons after spoons of their chili paste.

Spicy Acid Fish – RM18.80

Mouth-watering deliciousness, this spicy and tangy Malaysian fish dish that is sure to whet your appetite. I love the right amount of tang in the curry, making it so appetizing.

Dancing Fish – RM38.80

Rasa Utara’s signature dish, the fish was well marinated with herbs and spices then deep-fried to crisp perfection. Having the fish by itself without needing any condiments to enhance its flavors although it is to paired with their signature blend of caramilised sweet soy sauce and sambal ‘nuclear’ (hot sambal) for a full and flavourful taste.

Captain Squid Squid – RM25.80

Squid stuffed with minced chicken and potato, deep fried and served with their special Kapitan sauce. The squid texture was surprisingly wasn’t rubbery and the stuffings were simply delightful. Just having the batter on its own was addicting. Kapitan sauce was creamy in texture with a rich coconut milk aftertaste.

Shrimp Sambal Petai – RM35.80

I’ve got to admit that sambal, prawn and petai are meant to be together! Every bite of this dish was bursting with flavors. You’d get that nice nutty crunch of petai, really fresh  prawns and sambal with just the right amount of heat. I’d highly recommended having this dish!

Eggplant Fried Egg – RM12.80

Be sure to standby plenty of rice when you’re having these eggplants generously smothered with sambal! This was so addicting I could almost have this all by myself.

Fatty Flesh – RM12.80

Let’s be frank, almost anything ‘masak lemak’ will taste good.😂 The fern shoots were cooked till nice and soft while the gravy wasn’t too heavy and has wonderful aromas of the coconut milk.

North Tail Soup – RM28.80

The soup was simply earthy, meaty, warm and comforting with the amazing bursting flavors from varietal of local spices. This is a definite MUST-ORDER soup when you’re dining here.

Corn Rice – RM3.80

Instead of having plain rice, you’d get a wonderful touch of sweetness and juicy crunch as you enjoy it with some dishes.

Mi Kari Udang – RM15.80

The curry was so compelling! You’d catching yourself devouring into this humble bowl of noodles in no time. Look at the size of that prawn!

My Soto – RM13.80

Mee soto ayam is one my favourite dishes. Clear flavorsome chicken broth with rice cakes served with unselfish amount of shredded chicken. Perfect dish to have on a cold rainy day.

Sago Gula Melaka – RM6.80

This chilled dessert is so refreshing and comforting at the same time after a spicy meal. It was just at the right soft but chewy texture and perfect balance of sweetness from the gula melaka.

Cendol Taste North – RM7.80

The cendol was a missed, we had to request for more gula melaka to get back its consistency. I’d personally prefer having the Sago Gula Melaka though.😅

Rasa Utara positions itself as a place for families and friends to get together, whilst also being an avenue for the professional crowd, it hopes that its contemporary setting, complemented with authentic, heart-warming food, will prove to be a draw for those seeking a genuine experience of the North.

This cafe is a family and kids-friendly community cafe that offers scrumptious local delicacies bridging greatness from the East and West, comes with affordable pricing, genuine and consistent quality.

Today we’re lucky to give you guys a quick sneak peak on what’s on their menu before their opening tomorrow!😁

As Warm As Toast (v) – (RM16)

As we wanted something lighter to begin with, the sautéed mushrooms were flavorful and beautifully brown on the outside, moist and juicy on the inside. Amazing deep flavors that wasn’t too overpowering with some thinly spread of cream cheese on the sliced baguette was simply refreshing.

Golder After-Eggs – (RM22)

I personally would strongly recommend this dish as they’ve put generous amount of aromatic curry leaves to complement their handmade salted egg yolk sauce they’ve made from scratch. You get nice grainy bits of salted egg yolk as you chomp on the juicy piece of chicken chop. One bite is enough to make you crave for more!

Big Kahuna [Mokka’s Homemade Nasi Lemak] – (RM18)

There’s an option of choosing Spiced Chicken Rendang or Crispy Fried Chicken to go with your nasi lemak. Sorry there’s no Crispy Chicken Rendang here, Chef Gregg Wallace!🤷 Though I find the rendang paste a little brackish, its really tasty and paired beautifully with the rice with lovely hints of pandan. I got to love the deep-fried hard boiled egg and ‘acar’ too.😄

You can’t go wrong with these! [Mokka’s Homemade Chicken Wings] – (RM 12)

Definitely can’t go wrong with chicken wings! Light and crisp texture, barely greasy with juicy interior. There’s need not of any dips because its already mouth-watering just having it by its own. Ain’t no thang like a chicken wing.

Local Sweet Potato Balls -(RM6/3 pieces)

I’ve got the admit the chefs did an excellent job in deep-frying their food without leaving a greasy-aftertastes. These simple yet humble snacks are loved by many for its crispy exterior with soft and fluffy interior.

Mokka’s Signature – (RM14)

You’ve got to order this while you’re there! It wasn’t too sweet as there was a perfect balance of cocoa, espresso and milk topped with thick milk foam and carefully drizzled with honey then brûlée.

Three Brothers Restaurant at Subang 2, Shah Alam

Back at it again with some ‘super atas’ dishes here at Three Brothers Restaurant. Just so you know, this isn’t your ordinary family restaurant. The simplest dish in their menu could be a little extra than usual.

Egg Floss served with Crab Meat – RM 76

To start with, their egg floss was crisp to perfection and paired well with some bits of crab meat along with some generous amount of ebiko. It was a really refreshing appetizer as it wasn’t too heavy to begin with.

Wrap them in fresh cabbage leaves with some of the chili sauce that came along with this dish. 💯👌

Cheesy Scallop Mantou topped with Ebiko – RM 12/piece

Now here’s what you don’t get from other restaurants. This delightfully simple yet  luxurious Mantou filled with creamy scallop chunks and scrummy pork bacon bits interior baked with cheese. Yasss! 

Not going to lie but this is pretty darn addictive.

Steamed Clam topped with Minced Garlic & Chili – RM 12/piece

The texture is pretty superb with a combination of bouncy, slightly rubbery but easy to chew. You could still taste the natural flesh sweetness that complement the minced garlic & chili so well.

Braised Fish Maw & Stuffed Cabbage Rolls – RM 98

The fish maws were pack with flavors as it soaked up the enriched gravy while their cabbage rolls were simply delectable! Could I get more broccolis to dip the sauce though? 🤤

Garlic Roasted Iberico Ribs Platter – RM 176

The winner takes it all as Three Brothers Restaurant specializes in Iberico dishes. All-time favorite and loved by many will have to be this platter. The ribs were really juicy and ridiculously rich in flavors. It complements with the mint sauce very well as it gives a refreshing bite to it.

PS: Don’t fret about getting your hands dirty, gloves will be provided.

Slow Cooked Iberico Collar served with Steamed Mantou – RM 88

Heart eyes for this because I’m a sucker for mantous, and eating this with a slice of Iberico Collar? Delicioso.💖 The collar texture is a little more tougher and less juicier than the ribs but his would be a great alternative.

Who would’ve thought of adding some orange marmalade and barbecue sauce would bring this a whole different level.

Sous Vide Iberico Loin served with Pickled Cherry Tomatoes – RM 168

Though this may not tingle most taste buds, it is safe to eat this medium-rare pork loin. The texture is quite squishy but its really flavorful. Have it with some tomatoes to make the experience a lot more pleasurable.

PS: After a few bites you’ll actually enjoy this.😉

Caramel Roll with Red Bean Fillings – RM 18/6 pieces

Soft and chewy texture, the caramel roll actually tasted a lot like gula melaka with the sweetened red bean fillings weren’t as sweet as they looked.  Such a palatable dessert to end our meals with.

Mochi with Durian Fillings – RM 30/6 pieces

As the durian hype is still ongoing, you’ve got to order this as your dessert! It has that soft yet slightly springy or most would say ‘Q’ texture with durian fillings making it so much more enjoyable. Plus the ‘atas’ touch of gold leaves on each mochi.

ViolaflowerCafe at Bukit Jalil

Food ○ Coffee ○ Tea ○ Dessert

As thrilled as I am to have Pavilion Bukit Jalil to be up, barely a month old Violaflower Cafe, serving Yōshoku (Western-styled Japanese cuisine) marks its spot just across the building site. You’ll be greeted with the flowery and cozy ambiance upon stepping out from the elevator.

The floor-to-ceiling window brings in great amount of natural lighting into the cafe making it the next insta-worthy spot in this area. Settings are simply engaging, perfect date spot for the ladies and couples.

Gyu Kimchi Salada – (RM 22.80)

The sirloin strip makes it an ideal for a quick and healthy lunch, such as this warm salad. Got to love the decent amount of heat from the kimchi as well, so flavorful and simply delicious.

Note: Sirloin strip could be replaced with chicken if it does not meet your dietary restrictions!

Okonomiyaki Omelette – (RM 23.80)

I’d highly recommend this for brunch. The okonomiyaki-styled egg beautifully topped with bonito flakes were fluffy and delish. Pumpkin korokke was something refreshing instead of using potatoes and the chicken skewers were pretty flavorful.

Tori Mentai Pizza – (RM 20.80)

This has to be one of my favorite dish! You got to have this piping hot when its served right away before the crust turns soggy from all the sweet amount of toppings. 
Trust me, you’ll be hooked.👅

Salmon Mentai Miso Pasta – (RM 22.80)

Salmon was cooked to perfection, the pasta was good and cream sauce was rather interesting as there was a slight twist to it by adding some mentaiko sauce and miso paste in it.

Tilapia Teriyaki Pasta – (RM 22.80)

I’ve got the admit the chef knows how to work its way with both salmon and tilapia. Lol,  it looked like chicken at first sight though! Not a huge fan of tilapia because it often has that earthy (‘muddy taste’) flavors that turns me off but this tilapia fillet barely has a hint of earthiness making it so enjoyable. I’d recommend this pasta dish in their menu.  

Kichitori Rice Bowl – (RM 18.80)

Who wouldn’t love rice bowls? Because I flippin’ do! It was really hearty and chicken was amazingly cooked. 100% a mouthful of comfort.😊😊

Tokusei Curry Rice topped with Omu Egg – (RM 18.80)

Grab your knife and slice through the top of the omelette from one end to the other, one of the trending food porn dishes are available right here! This will definitely satisfy your cravings. I’m obsessed with their curry.🍛 

Teba Karaage (RM 15.80 / 3 pieces)

Crispy, succulent golden brown chicken wings! There’s two flavors to choose from: Niniku Garlic or Korean Spicy. You’ve got to go for both flavors for just an additional RM 1.  

NOTE: If you’re not sure what to order from their menu, SURPRISE YOURSELF! You know how us girls can never give a specific answer when it comes to “What to eat?”🙄, get a dice from their service crew and let it roll to the number. Please don’t tell them you don’t like that number and choose to roll again, just let the professionals do their job.🤦

Poppukon Latte – (RM 14.80)

Instead of having your regular latte, why not dazzle it with some caramel-drizzled popcorn? Don’t leave your popcorn hanging for too long to avoid eating them soggy.

Americano – (RM 9.80)

Got to give props to the owner of this cafe for putting details into it. Would to return a smile to that adorable hedgehog?

Miss Pink – (RM 17.80)

If you’re not a caffeine person, you should totally go for this drink!

My first thought on it, it’s going to be ridiculously sweet from the amount of strawberry syrup at the bottom of the bottle but after shaking it all evenly, it tasted really refreshing.

You get that nice tanginess from the yogurt and sweetness from the strawberry.

Would totally recommend ordering this to go for.

While I was there, I’ve got to take an insta-worthy shot as well. Loving the garden-like backdrop!
