Red Bean (RM5)

We came here after at dining at Goon Wah which turned out to be a mess (expensive meal, terrible service, and we did not want to order more so we left - Goon Wah, not Lean's). Which turned out to be a good choice.

Barley Gingko (RM5.50)

Their tong sui is slightly pricier - you'll notice that you pay only around RM2-3 or so by the street but you're paying a lot more here. It's basically like home cooked tong sui. Barley and gingko came with loads of gingko, so they deliver not just quality, it also fetches the value.

Mak Chuk (RM5)

It's more expensive but I felt it was worth paying for - all tong sui I've tried are all rich and thick. It's not some diluted craap you pay for a cheaper price. I don't normally take Mak Chuk but it was surprisingly good. It was so thick i had to share this bowl, can't finish it by myself.

Chee Cheong Fun (RM6)

After being cheated by Goon Wah, I thought this RM6 noodles was much more worth paying than what we had in Goon Wah.

Likes: A little pricier but it's worth paying for. Plenty of choices
Dislikes: Plenty choices.. but almost every visit they run out of things I want to order, could probably work on that since they provided choices they should have it ready

We opted for the tea place in Atria because all the coffee shops (eg. Starbucks) were too full!!

So you'll get to smell the sample tea leaves - they are nothing like Chinese tea leaves, but there are a probably a few Chinese ones and they are mostly English / flower tea. Some people label it as "athas" tea.

One from our group insisted to have coffee, which was a terrible mistake - they served really bland hot coffee in a long glass without handle. All I can say is, never order coffee when you are in tea house!

Finally the hype for this place has gone down - so it's time to try all of their cakes!


Their pastries starts from approximately RM13 to RM19 each. We had a big party that day so we ordered everything.

They all have very different texture and distinct taste, which I don't really want to discuss about it. Go and try it out yourself!

Monsieur (RM14)

Le Jasmine (RM16)

My personal favourite among all as this is one of the lightest of all.

Jaune Eclair (RM13)

Le Poire (RM14)

Very limited seats as the shop is quite small.

Just the normal food court you'll find in Malaysia where you can get street food all under one roof.

We had BKT at Pao Xiang and popped by Eng Ann for local dessert.

Lin Chi Kang / Cendol seems to be very popular, they say always order something that everyone has on their table and you won't normally go wrong!

So this place became famous after a blog post... 

My first impression before going to the place is they ONLY sell salted egg yolk croissant but no, they have other types too. 

It costs approximately RM7.30 each after GST.

Well we love it - it's a pretty good snack to try! You can also heat it up with your oven if you want to have it at home.

P/S: Service isn't exceptional so no expectations there. To get a gift box you'll have to pay extra (can't remember the price), otherwise you'll get the ugly looking paper bag which you may accidentally squeeze if you didn't realise the bag's existence. Ridiculous that they can't even provide proper boxes when we bought a few to begin with. I could understand one, but hey you're marketing your brand with stickers on the box and you're charging your customers for it. Ok... Hope to see an improvement in their branding / service as the product itself is actually not bad.

A beautiful cafe. Very Instagram worthy place.

About the food, it seems like they love crepes so much they serve everything with crepes. Both sweet and savoury.

Purple Rage (RM9)

Sweet potato crepe with Japanese potatoes, sago and pandan infused gula melaka.

I ordered this because it's purple. Bimbo decision. As for the taste, it was really weird actually. I think sweet potatoes and gula melaka just didn't work very well.

Green Tea Molten Lava Cake (RM13)

So very Molten and they definitely did use good grade Matcha powder. Love it!

Some of the other crepes - my suggestion is do not be too adventurous, stick with the flavours you're familiar with. I'm surprised they don't have my favourite Nutella Banana Crepes though! It reminds me of summer in the UK :)

Some pictures from Sweet Hut. They serve mainly HK style desserts. We had most of their signatures but none of them left a superb impression. It's either too sweet or taste is too artificial. Even my favourite egg tarts, did not ace.

New restaurant along the shops in Damansara Kim.

Wine is currently free of charge if you BYOB.

Menu is extremely limited.

So glad that there is no corkage charge! Well, afterall our "personal" sommelier brought her own glasses too!

Fettuccini Alfredo with Truffle Oil (RM38)

I'm not sure if they named it correctly, aren't these Parpadelle?? Very small portion of pasta with very thinly shaved mushrooms. It's sad to know that with the price they are setting, they did not even add a few more slices of mushroom to it. I believe this is a vegetarian dish, only mushrooms and very strong truffle smell from the oil. The portion needs to be fixed, add more mushrooms and pasta to match the price.

Free Range Chicken (RM30)

This was even more disappointing. A very small cut - definitely the size of your iPhone 6. It was not done particularly special either, just very normal Teppan. Served with garlic flakes and sea salt. The only special thing about the dish is "free range". Still, it's as big as one piece of KFC chicken.

Japanese Wagyu Sirloin 120g (RM118)

Better be good for that price! It melted in the mouth, however I felt the middle part where the redish colour is at, was not room temperature. It was cold. I'm not sure about the pricing that they are charging considering that none of their savoury food is up to par. However, we tried this only after a week of their opening so they may have improved. Also served with garlic and sea salt, which is not creative at all.

Mushrooms with Garlic Butter (RM19)

This was sadly the most disappointing of all. It's another fancy name for pan-fried mushrooms. Anybody can do this at home. For RM18 you slice up to only 2 or 3 mushrooms? On top of that, it was tasteless. No garlic, no salt but just oil. We requested for salt and it tasted slightly better but really, anyone could do better than this. I would never recommend anyone to order this dish. Either improvise it, or reduce the price as it does not justify.

The dessert menu. We practically ordered almost everything! Despite all the misses for their savoury dishes, their desserts won all of our hearts.

Meringue Platter (RM18)

They actually have a prettier plate which looks like a donut ring but because we wanted to surprise our friend this was served on the normal plate instead.

UoVo Meringue (RM18)

Meringue nests with lemon curd and seasonal fruits. Actually not much difference with the previous.

Chamomile Panna Cotta (RM18)

Chamomile panna cotta with caramelised citrus rinds. I swear this is a panna cotta TO DIE FOR!!!!!! 

Chocolate Tart (RM18)

Molten Lava (RM22)

It wasn't too molten - it flowed out extremely slow. Probably a little overdone but still very yummy!

Flourless Chocolate Souffle (RM18)

One of my favourite for the night. Flourless and yet SO GOOD?! It was very fluffy like some egg tart. We stuffed the entire sorbet in and boy it was HEAVEN. This is a MUST order!! Super duper fluffy!

3 Sorbets (RM18)

Most of their desserts come with a scoop of sorbet. If you can't decide, just get their sorbets. It is very, very light and refreshing. It is not the milky version, it is really so light that it melts immediately when it meets the tongue! The Yuzu was one of my personal favourite, I could have that sour thing ALL DAY AND NIGHT.

Their service is slightly slow - perhaps they are still new. Nevertheless, when they attend to us, they try their very best. Their staffs are very nice and helpful people. As for their food, I'm not keen with their savoury food as I find it a little too boring and it's way too expensive. It's a little way too expensive and we were only given IKEA's plates... Nothing wrong with that, just feel that the price of the food does not match with the plates - at least provide better quality plates or set the price lower. I personally find that they need to refine their menu otherwise it will not attract people to return for the second time. Nevertheless, I love their dessert menu and hope they turn into a dessert bar or something. All their desserts are so good it makes you want to have everything!
