Kouign amann is quite possibly my favourite pastry to eat – if I could only pick one. Think of it as a denser version of croissant that’s caramelised with plenty of sugar and salted butter. Hence the name “kouign-amann”, French for butter and cake. One can find a pretty decent…
Coffee
I was told Cheong Foh Cafe serves the best coffee in Klang. It is also said to be one of the oldest and arguably the busiest kopitiam in Klang town. Seeing how the locals rave about this, Jien and I decided to pay them a visit when we ventured into…
It took me two visits and one takeaway meal from Yi Feng Restaurant in OUG before I can write what I opine about this establishment. A Chinese version (read: non-halal) of a Malaysian kopitiam so expect hawker favourites like wantan noodle with char siew and siew yuk, and pastries with…
My first Croisserie experience was when my friend Wendy sent a bag of assorted pastries to my office – it had all my favourite things to eat inside: croissant, kouign amann, curry donut, canelé and pain au chocolate. Jien and I paid the Damansara Heights outlet a visit the following…
Foo Fee in Kepong isn’t the kind of place I would brave the distance from Bangsar for, but I was in the vicinity for a client meeting which made it convenient for me to “drop by for coffee”. My team members told me Foo Fee is popular among the folks…
At Say Cheese Café in Bukit Jalil, one will spot the pork chop with cheese lava at almost every table – a thick and juicy slab of pork chop, flame-grilled tableside and cloaked with melted mozzarella for that wow factor. It is also the main reason why Jien wanted to…
Petaling Street has become a hot spot for coffee and café hops in the last few years, to a point parking is a nightmare and the queues never seem to end. Jien and I found ourselves in the vicinity last month, when we were on a hunt for a Christmas…
BLONDE at Republik in Damansara Heights is the latest addition to the Serai Group, said to serve “fine comfort food” with hints of Asian flavours. It has been quite the rage on social media, to a point Jien insisted we gave it a shot. I was admittedly hesitant. Especially after…
Jien and I spotted The Farm Foodcraft in Bangsar South slightly over a month ago, when we were walking around the vicinity after dinner. Since we’d already eaten, we told ourselves we’d give this place a shot another time. That time came a few weeks later, when we met up…
My second attempt to dine at Sunbather Coffee at The Sphere in Bangsar South required effort. We had a good experience at the café first time around and wanted to return to check out more of what they have to offer. Alas, there was an issue with electricity and they…
