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.
