Cafe hopping around the world

  • About Us
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!

This happened last Friday (15th July 16). #UberIceCream

Uber Malaysia, in collaboration with Inside Scoop, went around Klang Valley to deliver ice cream. Inside Scoop also covered JB, while Sangkaya covered Penang and Ipoh.

I ordered a portion to myself , guess these are cheap thrills that keep people alive in the office! Apparently, July is the National Ice Cream month. Well, this is new to me!

For RM15, you get two small cups of artisan ice cream. It's not bad - two scoops of ice cream, plenty of free advertising by consumers! :)

I believe these flavours are specially handcrafted for the event.

Flavour #1: Onde-Onde.

I tasted a hint of Gula Melaka too. It's too darn good! Texture is not very creamy, very, very light with great pandan flavours.

Flavour #2: Valrhona Chocolate with White Truffle and Sea Salt.

Boy, the chocolate is thick, truffle smells awkward but when you taste it, it is pretty good! Sea salt makes it less sweet I guess? At least I didn't find this sweet at all. But to compare to Flavour #1, this texture is thicker. If you love chocolate and truffle, you're missing out big time!

Did you get yourself a box? :)
We found this place as we were walking around Jonkers.

A little arcade like place, selling overpriced Made in China stuff located outside the cafe.

A nice place to chill, we totally needed the rest and the cup of coffee.

Coffee seems to be priced similarly to KL prices, RM11.50 for a cup of cappuccino. 

Earl Grey Orange Chocolate Cake (RM13)

So I ordered that because the cake is very cute and shiny. It was the only odd one among the rest. It was really, so strong chocolate flavours that it covered the earl grey bit. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it despite not being a fan of chocolate!

There is a stretch of shops along the road near Taman Supreme. You should see it along the way to Yulek.

We found this place by accident. We went to another cafe around the area and it was closed. We were so prepared to visit Typica in Ampang since it's only open on weekends and it was a Saturday.

This cafe is great to serve neighbourhood crowd, pretty standard prices. Cakes priced about RM11-RM14 per slice. You'll find some interesting flavours like Guinness Choco Cake.  Never knew Guinness could come in a form of cake!

Rose Latte (RM13)

Did not really like their rose latte. The latte itself is very, very sweet and the rose flavour is a little too strong. I felt I was drinking sugar water with a hint of coffee. It was really so difficult to finish.

Green Tea Cheese Cake (RM12)

This slice wasn't too bad, light and fluffy. Not much cheese flavours though. Maybe it's meant to be light.

Cappuccino (RM11) is pretty standard, the ones off coffee machine.

It's really a great place if you live nearby, not worth the hassle to travel all they way if you're no where near. Nothing special. Also, most cafes are run by owners themselves, if not locals. This is one cafe run by foreigners - don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with that. The problem is the reason why owners themselves are in the cafe is because they want to deliver the quality themselves and create a better personal touch. Hiring foreigners to run their cafes is no difference from any of the major restaurants/cafes you see in the shopping malls. So for me, it's really not worth it then. I could have just gone to the mall if I want something so generic.

This area has everything - from high rise to embassies to posh houses. The one thing that stands out is their existence in this area. There are not many cafes around this area and this is one of it. Finally, a cafe to cater to the local neighbourhood!

Seasonal Earl Grey Cake (RM17)

It is most likely the most expensive slice of cake I've pay for in a cafe. Normal cafes are priced about RM14 at most. Maybe it's the area.. There is nothing special about the cake anyway.

I got myself a Babyccino (RM5) because I just wanted something light instead of having coffee. It is definitely suitable for your baby to drink! So milky!

I did not try their brunch plates but some of the plates ordered by tables around us were quite interesting! Now there are more brunch choices in Ampang!

Coffee shop in Melakaraya near where we stayed. We just wanted to have a bowl of cendol.

There's also Durian Cendol but no way I'm having that.

Apart from cendol, there are also local Peranakan food for quite savoury bites.

We had their Mee Siam the day after and we loved it! Cheap savoury food and dessert is what Jeta Groves offer. I rather dine here for simple local food than some random touristy shop at Jonker.
