Here's Where You Can Get Good Steamboat In KL For RM50 & Below Per Pax

It seems that the weather is getting back up to speed again. The sun is finally in sight, the temperature is above 25 degrees, and perhaps we can cease worrying whether winter is really coming to Malaysia.
Irregardless if it’s winter or summer in Malaysia, it’s always a good time for some piping hot steamboat. We’ve sourced out some good steamboat locations and best part is, it’s only RM50 (and below!) per person.
1. Happy City

Happy City can be found in three places: two in Kepong and one in Kota Damansara. They are particularly commendable for their seafood that is always fresh. No matter which branch you go, you can be sure that it’ll be packed with both steamboat and barbecue fans, because good seafood is always magnetic. The prices for a steamboat dinner buffet are RM48 per adult, RM33.50 per senior citizen, free for children below 100cm, RM22.50 for children between 101cm and 135cm, and RM48 for children above 135cm.

You get to enjoy buffet spreads for both steamboat and BBQ options at just RM41 for an adult, RM21 for a child between 120cm and 140cm, and RM11 for a toddler.

To think that an adult get these at RM48, a senior citizen at RM38, a child between 110cm and 140cm at RM25, and a toddler at RM10, it’s pretty darn worth it.

Check Out The Cool "Happy Family" Wall Décor At This SS15 Tau Fu Fah Café!

It’s a work of art on its own and a truly Malaysian one at that.
Stepping into Dáo is akin to stepping into the nostalgic memories circa 1990s.
Millennials born during that era would be familiar with the distinct touches in the space like the iconic Happy Family card wall and fruit tin cans that hold stalks of blooms.
Carmen of Dáo spoke to DiscoverKL on the inspiration of the café’s overall ambiance.

According to Carmen, “There are tin can telephones, even a few particularly nostalgia-inducing hand towels, a painstakingly put together wall of Happy Family cards (almost 1,800 of them!) and our favourite mural featuring an old bicycle we once used.”

Instead of regular chairs and tables, wooden pallets are used and pillow cases are made using gunny sacks!
Carmen, alongside brother, Joe and sister, Kelly, runs the new tau fu fah café in SS15. They have always wanted it to be a space that ultimately brings comfort and reminds them of the good that a family unit can bring about—hence the unique touches that remind them of home.
The 3 Ipoh-born siblings are of Cantonese descent and they figured that it would be meaningful to have the name of their café be inspired by their mother tongue.
“To put it simply, “dáo” means bean in Cantonese, and it’s a nod to our Cantonese descent,” Carmen shared.
And it makes complete sense considering how the eatery’s main offerings are tau fu fah and soymilk-based products.
Currently, you would find beancurd, soymilk and black bean soymilk among other options at Dáo. Prices range between RM2.80-RM15.

“They are all prepared based on our family recipe. We have been in the industry for over 25 years, thus the recipe we use has been tried, tested, and perfected over a long period of time. I personally believe we have the best version of it available,” Carmen told us.
However, if there’s only one dish you should try at Dáo, it would be their black bean soymilk. Where traditional black bean soymilk is grey in colour, Dáo’s is green!
“We employ a special process in production which allows for the outer skin of the bean to be removed, revealing the bean’s green flesh – lending its colour to the final product,” Carmen noted.

By removing the skin, the purine level of the beans is reduced. Hence, even those who experience high uric acid levels or gout are able to enjoy Dáo’s desserts.
And by removing the outer skin of the soybean, the texture of the soymilk becomes smoother, thicker and more flavourful as compared to ordinary soy milk.
Hungry yet? Give Dáo’s desserts a go here:

[New Eats] Have Some Paninis & Waffles At This Scandinavian Café In Damansara Jaya

If aesthetics matter to you and you’re one to favour minimalistic cafés, you’d be glad to know that a new Scandinavian café has popped up in Damansara Jaya. The Upperfloor Café is bedecked with white furniture and light bulbs across the ceiling, and the eatery has a simple, clean feel to it.
It’s located on the first floor, hence its name, and you’d have to climb a flight of stairs to arrive at this eatery but it’s well worth the effort. While you’re here, feast on an array of paninis which are priced fairly at RM9.90-RM16.90. Each set comes with a side of salad and sweet potato fries.
Image Credit: The Upperfloor Cafe, Instagram user @willkwl
There’re vegetarian panini options like the Tomato & Mozzarella (RM9.90) and Feta Cheese, Mushroom & Caramelised Onion (RM13.90). Other options include the Beef Salami, Caramelised Onion & Mozzarella (RM14.90) and the Smoked Salmon, Cream Cheese & Pea Sprouts (RM16.90). Interestingly, each panini also comes with a unique sandwich dressing of either Cranberry Mayo or Basil Mayo.
Image Credit: The Upperfloor Cafe, Instagram user @paulphor
As for the waffles, there’s Coal Black (RM16.90), which is a charcoal waffle served with banana, crushed peanuts, salted caramel sauce and drizzled with a decadent layer of Hershey’s chocolate syrup. The Traffic Light (RM16.90), on the other hand, is a waffle served with fresh strawberries, kiwis, and banana, with maple syrup on the side. All of The Upperfloor Café’s waffles come with a scoop of ice cream of your choice.
Image Credit: @jackgan_88, @jianshengteh
Coffee lovers can sip on some java (RM6.5 onwards) or something healthy and refreshing like the cold pressed juices (RM12.90). Other desserts that can satisfy your sweet tooth at this eatery are the Pavlova (RM6), Crème Brûlée (RM9.90) and Tiramisu (RM10.90).
Image Credit: The Upperfloor Cafe
If you’re on the lookout for a quiet spot to hangout and chow down on some yummy but still somewhat nutritious meals (sweet potato fries count as a healthier option, right? :P), this new eatery should be on your list. At the very least, the short hike from the ground floor to the upper floor should be enough of a workout, making it the perfect excuse for you to order up some desserts while you’re here!

What to expect from The World of DC exhibition officially licensed by Warner Bros in Asia

If you’re a big fan of superheroes from the DC Cinematic Universe like Superman, Batman, and Aquaman, The World of DC exhibition is currently ongoing at Tropicana Gardens Mall until April 1, 2023, where you can check these heroes out in person.
With ticket prices going at RM38 for children, RM55 for adults (RM65 for non-mykad holders), and RM150 for Express tickets, is the exhibition worth your time paying a visit to, and what can you expect from the slightly over 30,000 sq ft exhibition?
Here’s what we found during our visit there.
As soon as we entered the exhibition, we were greeted with a room with a large DC sign and a bunch of posters from movies like Man of Steel, Batman Vs Superman, Wonder Woman, Justice League, Suicide Squad, and Birds of Prey.

Moving deeper into the exhibition, you’ll enter the Superman-themed room filled with items found in various Superman movies and TV series, such as General Zod’s suit, kryptonite stone, and more.
If you look closely at Superman’s costume, you can see the amount of detail in the suit, from the stitching, down to the textures in the fabric.
Further down the room, you’ll find a large kryptonite spear on a shelf next to the ginormous Superman statue that looks to be much taller than 4 meters.

If you’re there with a big group, this is probably a good place to take a large group photo.
Next will be the Batman-themed room. The first thing that will most likely catch your attention is the huge Batmobile directly in the middle of the room, followed by prop weapons hanging on the wall.

Unlike some of the Batmobile props I’ve had the opportunity to see in person, the one in particular at The World of DC exhibition was not driveable nor functional.
There are Batsuits located at the corner of the rooms with a touchpad that illuminates the Batsuit so that you can have a clearer look at them.

Other than the Batmobile, there’s also the Knightwalker, a new vehicle that made its first appearance in the Justice League movie.

The Wonder Woman-themed room comes next, where not only will you find the Sword of Athena but also her iconic shield and eagle-like helmet on the shelf.
Looking closely at the Sword of Athena, you’ll see a bunch of symbols etched onto it. It was quite cool to see this level of detail on a prop.

This is also where you’ll find an interactive game where you roleplay as Wonder Woman, tasked with defeating your enemies using a variety of attacks and weapons.
After that, there’s the Aquaman-themed room. The one thing that stood out here was the interactive screen where many fishes, a stingray, and a shark will gather in front of you if you stand in a specific spot.
Next is the Birds of Prey and Suicide Squad-themed room, where you get to take pictures with Harley Quinn, and Joker. Here’s where you’ll also find the second interactive installation that lets you take a video of yourself conjuring up fire with your bare hands.
You can even save the video produced via a QR code that will appear on the screen on your phone.

There’s another installation deeper in that lets you colour the background of a popular Suicide Squad villain and download it as a form of memorabilia onto your phone.
Last but not least, we reached the final room of the exhibition, which is the Justice League-themed room, where you’ll find The Flash, Cyborg, Aquaman, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.
Moving past the final room is where you’ll find yourself in the merchandise section. Here, you can purchase DC-themed goodies ranging from Funko Pop to model figures, with prices ranging anywhere from around RM20 to over RM12,000.
Overall, we’d say that The World of DC is definitely worth going to if you’re a big fan of the DC Cinematic Universe. The entire experience took slightly more than an hour including picture-taking and video recording.
The regular adult tickets were more than enough compared to getting Express tickets because fortunately there wasn’t a long line leading into the exhibition. We were however there on a Thursday night so weekends might be a different story!
The World of DC Exhibition
Location: 3A, Tropicana Gardens Mall, No. 2A, Persiaran Surian, Tropicana Indah, 47810 Petaling Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan
Exhibition date: December 23, 2022 to April 1, 2023
Time: 10:00 am to 10:00 pm


TTDI Folks Rejoice, FamilyMart Opens Their 4th M'sian Outlet At The TTDI MRT Station

Yup, you’ve guessed it. There’s more FamilyMart love to go around for Malaysians as they unveil their 4th outlet at the TTDI MRT station on January 12th. Earlier in January, FamilyMart posted a major teaser, hinting that they will be opening the outlet within the TTDI and Damansara area. They later revealed that the next FamilyMart outlet will be opened in TTDI itself.
Following the success of their earlier outlets of Wisma Lim Foo Yong, Mid Valley and KLIA2, this new outlet is set to be a hotspot in TTDI as well. In conjunction with the grand opening of their latest outlet, FamilyMart TTDI will also be offering their Sofuto ice cream at 50% off, from 12-18 January.
Do note however that although this outlet will house a plethora of Japanese food and snacks, the oden and vanilla ice cream will not be available here.

【源味本铺】传统古早味海绵蛋糕 正式在Sunway Velocity 开张

之前台湾著名的『古早味蛋糕』引起一阵风潮，现在不必飞台湾也可以在吉隆坡吃到正宗的古早味蛋糕啦！
位于Cheras的Sunway Velocity 最近新开张了一家专门手工制作古早味蛋糕的蛋糕店——源味本铺。才一开张，就引来了众多人潮前来购买，就连多位本地艺人都来捧场呢！
Image Credit：源味本铺
目前，该店只出售两种口味：原味和芝士味。原味蛋糕(RM18) 是使用新鲜的鸡蛋和鲜奶制作的，口感吃起来又软又绵密，每一口都充满了浓郁的蛋香。
而芝士蛋糕 (RM23) 内层则夹着浓浓的黄金Cheese，刚烤出来热腾腾的时候吃真的超美味！

Tealive Teases Us With 18 Possible New Flavours—Here Are 4 You Should Try

This week, Tealive launched their “Breakthrough Moments” festival in Mid Valley Megamall that runs from from the 13th until the 17th of March.

The event celebrates Tealive’s success in opening over 220 outlets in Malaysia and offers visitors a chance to participate in lucky draws, make their own bubble teas, snap group photos in their ball pit, and even get discounted opportunities to join them as franchise partners.
At the festival, Tealive offered up 18 different flavours that were exclusive to the event (and might even be available at local outlets if Malaysians are receptive to the flavours).
Spread across four different counters, the flavours were all grouped into themes such as Travel, Exotic, Fruity, and the more abstract Possibilitea section.
Here are the list of flavours available:

Black Diamond Milk Tea – RM9
Fresh Mixed Berries Milk Tea – RM10
Fresh Mixed Berries Iced Tea – RM9
Lemongrass Green Tea (with Jelly) – RM8
Curry Mousse Green Tea – RM 7
Chilli Mousse Milk Tea – RM7
Salted Egg Bang Bang Fresh Milk – RM9
Salted Egg Pearl Milk Tea – RM9
Avocado Chocolate – RM10
Cempedak Milkshake – RM9
Cempedak Mousse – RM8
Avocado Espresso – RM10
Durian Milkshake – RM9
Durian Mousse – RM8
Aussie Tim Tam Shake – RM10
Viet Coffee Mousse – RM9
Chinese Osmanthus Goji Milk Tea – RM10
India Chai Milk Tea – RM8

We had the opportunity to sample some of the more curious flavours, and this is what we thought of each.
1. Aussie Tim Tam Shake

From the Tasteful Travels counter, the Aussie Tim Tam Shake is pretty much self-explanatory, and also one of the safest flavours you can try here. For this event, Tealive opted to present half of their drink selection in a peculiar plastic bottle-soda can hybrid, and this was one of them.
Combining the distinct chocolatey flavour of a Tim Tam biscuit with a crushed ice milkshake, we found the texture to be comparable to a Java Chip Frappucino from Starbucks (minus the whipped cream) more than anything.
Flavour-wise, there was a distinct resemblance to the actual Tim Tam biscuit that you usually find off the shelves of your local supermarket, and overall, the good ice-to-drink ratio made sure that the shake never felt too thick and sweet, and neither did it water down too fast like some other milkshakes do.
As sort of a bonus, Tealive even throws in a solid Tim Tam slice in the drink for good measure, but the sealed bottle-can thing it was served in prevented us from getting to it until we found access to a pair of scissors when we got back to the office. Minus marks for the odd choice of serving medium.
Price: RM10
Rating: 4/5
2. Curry Mousse Green Tea

This one comes from the Exotic Thrills counter and is one of the weirder selections on the menu. This drink adopts the familiar tea-and-milk-foam formula and then completely smacks it into the realm of unrecognisable.
First, you get the standard base of green tea, and then you get a top of milk foam. All pretty familiar until you notice that the milk foam holds just a hint of a spice mix, and that the red powder sprinkled on top is straight out curry powder. Add two curry leaves onto the top of the drink and you have a really bizarre concoction that probably requires a very specific sort of palate to appreciate.
We honestly felt that this flavour wasn’t really to our liking, and would only recommend those really seeking to try something way out of left field to give this one a shot.
Price: RM7
Rating: 1/5
3. Cempedak Milkshake

You can find this one at the Fruitful Flavours counter along with other flavours such as the Durian Milkshake and Avocado Espresso, and is one to try if you especially love cempedak.
Having a consistency that’s something like a thick lassi, the drink is packed with pure, thick cempedak flavour and contains plenty of cempedak fruit bits to chew on in between gulps, making for a very filling beverage.
Be warned, though. If you’re prone to getting the jelak sensation easily, you might want to skip this one or at least share it with a buddy.
Price: RM9
Rating: 3.5/5
4. Lemongrass Green Tea

If you feel a little sick of the creamy textures above, you might be interested in giving this variant a try.
Found at the Endless Possibilitea section along with other flavours such as Fresh Mixed Berries Iced Tea and the Black Diamond Milk Tea, the Lemongrass Green Tea is a refreshing and more subdued option if you’re looking for something a little lighter.
The green tea base comes with a crushed lemongrass stalk for added flavour, and contains chia seeds and konyaku jelly for a bit of a chewy texture. Flavour-wise, you’ll find that the green tea and lemongrass combine into something mildly sweet, complemented by a slightly sour tang from the konyaku jelly.
Go for this one if you want something easy to drink that will also get you through a hot day.
Price: RM8
Rating: 3.5/5

We Find Out If The New Automated Restaurant In KL Lives Up To Its Hype

The first automated restaurant in KL was introduced in early February and needless to say, hype quickly surrounded it.
And when it comes to highly hyped up eateries, they almost always have a certain level of added pressure to perform beyond expectations.
At the very least, that was the degree of our expectations when we paid GREAT The Healthier Fast Food a visit recently.

Operating by a mobile ordering system, Great promised a pretty straightforward process of placing our orders via the WeChat app. True enough, it was a simple 2-minute process and we did not encounter any glitches or difficulties.
And we received our first round of orders in exactly 6 minutes.
It has to be said though: we visited on a weekday, right after the lunch hour crowd has left. The 6 minute wait time is of course an average waiting period for a moderately quiet day and it would naturally increase during peak hours and weekends.

That being said, considering how the process is automated, we would expect for our meals to be prepared quicker than average—that’s exactly what we got.
A 6 minute wait time is pretty impressive for any restaurant too.

Great is currently equipped with 12 food vaults and we foresee this being a bit of a problem on busier days but the seamless process of retrieving one’s meal as soon as it arrives allows for the 12 vaults to be sufficient as of now.

Great’s WeChat app also allows for customers to hit the Arrive button just before they head to the restaurant so that does away with customers taking up vault space for long periods of time.

As for the meals itself, they are plant-based fast food options.
Unlike traditional fast food options which are typically greasy and generally not quite as “photogenic”, we were pleasantly surprised that Great’s options look as good as it sounds.

The Passion Nestum XXL Burger (RM 26.9), as its name suggests, is one large burger. The burger bun is surprisingly not soggy even with the condiments within and the patty is flavourful without being too floury or oily. A passionfruit dressing is used in the burger and it worked well with the Nestum-coated patty. As for the fries, there was nothing artificial about it, as real potatoes are used.

Though nasi lemak is not fast food per se, it might be deemed one of the less healthier food options in Malaysia. Great’s alternative is the Nasi Lemak Bowl (RM15.9), which is a customisable rice bowl. We opted for millet as our base and honestly did not notice the absence of the coconut milk rice.
As someone who has tried numerous vegetarian nasi lemak options, this one fared pretty high with the addition of heartier ingredients such as the edamame, pumpkin seeds, broccoli and cauliflower. Those who enjoy spicier meals would also like the spicy “sambal” that the nasi lemak comes with.
The Pizzafries (RM11.9) is an onion and dairy-free option and it has a unique lasagna and pizza-like flavour. Personally, I found it a tad bit too savoury but made with real potatoes, it’s still a healthier option which is in line with Great’s healthier fast food motto.
There’re definitely those who would prefer more indulgent fast food options despite dining here, and the Pizzafries are made for these very folks in mind.

Despite having a strong mushroom flavour, we found the Tempura Mushroom (RM10.9) to be extremely chewy and a little too rubbery for our liking. With the earlier options that we had, this was disappointing as it is too tough to enjoy.
We ended our meal on a sweeter note with Great’s range of “nice creams”. Made with only natural fruits and an assortment of nuts and seeds, they are no doubt healthy but at the same time, do not exactly resemble ice cream other than its texture.

The Very Beary Nice Cream (RM16.9) is made from frozen bananas and berries and the tangy aftertaste is perfect for those who aren’t into sweet desserts. The Great Cocoa Nice Cream (RM15.9) is perhaps the one “nice cream” that tastes like actual ice cream, or rather, gelato. It is chocolate-y with a strong banana flavour to it.
Meanwhile, the Golden Fruity Nice Cream (RM14.9) which comprises of frozen bananas and mangoes taste pretty much like frozen bananas and did not stand out as much as the other “nice creams” we tried.

Like any other restaurant, Great has its hits and misses but its concept isn’t glorified for it did live up to our expectations. It’s a pretty good option for those who are looking for healthier alternatives without sacrificing on flavour. However, with that being said, the concept is still fairly new and foreign to Malaysians and time will tell if it’s something that Malaysians would enjoy in the long run or if it’s a temporary novelty.

Judging from the few curious folks we saw, the concept intrigues both young and older folks. Those who didn’t have the app on their phone were even willing to download it.
That alone sounds promising and is a good sign for Great.

You Can Now Hire This KL Team For A Private Murder Mystery-Themed Night!

Having helped organised some monthly team building activities for the office, I’ve got to say that sometimes, our idea bank does run dry and we find ourselves thinking about what we could do for that month’s TABAR (stands for Take A Break And Relax: our company’s monthly hangout session).
Recently, I stumbled upon Mystery Crew and it’s definitely something that smaller companies (like ours!) can opt for.
Mystery Crew is a murder mystery-themed party organised by an external team.
“In a typical murder mystery, players will be given a story in which they will role-play as one of the characters. It is a game of detective work and deception, in which everyone can be the detective, or the scheming murderer, all in the comfort of your own home (or office),” the team shared on their website.

The Mystery Crew will prepare scripts and props and each guest will be given their own docket of information with a guide on their character so they can role-play effectively.
“Everyone will play as a character in the story,  maybe as an England Duke in the 15th century, a street gangster during the great depression, or even a princess from a fairy tale to this dinner. Some background information will be provided, but every guest has the freedom to use their own interpretation or spin to the character. In fact, we always encourage our guest to channel their inner creativity to make the role-play a fun experience,” the team noted.

The event is meant to spice up gatherings because guests are looking to solve the case at the end of the day and characters are given backstories and their own set of secrets. Guests are meant to interact with each other and be observant enough to find out who the murderer is.
There will be one killer (unless stated otherwise) which will be revealed at the end of the night and the game’s objective is to find out who the “murderer” is.

While it might sound graphic, Mystery Crew has mentioned on their website that there will be no graphic or explicit content involved. That being said, if you’re planning this for kids, it’s highly encouraged to go for the Never Ever After-themed mystery party.
These parties are suited for anywhere between 8-12 guests and runs for approximately 4-6 hours, so yes, this is a more elaborate team building activity that’ll likely be suited for when you’re planning “get-off-work-early” days.
There are several themes to choose from, such as Murder At Cambridge and Summoning at the Miskatonic University. Each story line varies and guests are encouraged to dress up for the themed events because it’ll not only get them into the mood of a murder mystery night, but also allows them to stand a chance at winning the best dressed award, with prizes offered by Mystery Crew.

Prices for these themed nights range between RM24-RM60 per pax and the themes include crime, mystery and fantasy, among others.

This Inflatable Obstacle Course Race In Cyberjaya Looks Just Like The Set Of Wipeout!

Let’s be real. For some of us couch potatoes, the idea of a 5K run sounds like pure torture.
Perhaps, even some seasoned runners would agree. ?

Runs are meant to be fun and for those who are just starting out on their fitness journey, they’d prefer something that inspires them to leave the couch in the first place.

There’s an upcoming race in Cyberjaya and it might just lure you away from your home. as it’s after all set to be the funnest race in town.

Called the Ridiculous Obstacle Challenge (ROC), this 5k challenge is inspired by obstacle challenge game shows like Wipeout. There are 12 epic obstacles in total, including ones you’ve probably seen on Wipeout itself. Obstacles include Leap Of Faith, The Hippo, Barrel Bounce, The Sweeper, Jump Balls and Wrecking Balls.
The untimed race event is suited for those aged 10 and above. All participants are divided into specific start waves (there are 8 start waves in total). The start wave you select will indicate the start time you’re assigned (the runs are 30-minute intervals from 7am-10am). All participants will receive their actual assigned start time a week prior to ROC.

Participating racers are encouraged to bring a towel and change of clothes and shoes (you’ll get really wet), a photo ID and extra cash.
The race itself is priced at RM79 but there are several different race categories too. If you’d like to join a KL city tour, the ticket is priced at RM143. There’s also a race ticket + tour of Taman Negara package which is priced at RM928.

We Put 6 Sausages To The (Blind Taste) Test—Can We Guess Which Has Additives?

Cocktail sausages, golden brown heart-shaped nuggets on a stick, deep fried currypuffs with semi-squashed potato chunks within—these remind me of the good ol’ childhood days where they were the occasional waktu rehat indulgences.
Growing up in a predominantly healthy household, such snacks were a treat and I didn’t have them too often but what I do know is that I thoroughly enjoyed them when I did—likely because it was highly processed.
Though my only memory of sausages were of the “artificial, processed party snack” sort, preservative-free options are offered at selected eateries and there are healthier homemade versions available in the market too.
Lily’s Homemade is a local sausage brand launched because co-founders, Vicky and her husband, were looking for healthier sausage alternatives for their daughter, Lily (of which the brand is named after).

Thailicious Pork Sausages
It’s no surprise that their main clientele are mothers, those on specific diets such as keto and low-carb, and even diabetic patients.
Vicky shared that Lily’s Homemade’s products are made predominantly from the pork shoulder loin and belly, which according to her, are the best cuts for pork sausages.
Pepper & Garlic Sausages
There are 50+ flavours available and they are priced between RM30-RM39 for a 400g-500g pack consisting of 4-6 large sausages per pack.
Pork Apple Sausages
Lily’s Homemade’s emphasis is in using good quality cuts of meat and adding zero MSG, sugar, artificial flavourings, colourings, nitrate or preservatives to the mix.
Classic Italian Sausages
“All our pork is locally-produced, you know exactly what’s in them. Our meat content is 95% (the rest being herbs & spices), we only use high quality meat that’s antibiotics and beta agonist-free,” Vicky shared.
Curious to see if my colleagues could tell a preservative-laden sausage apart from a homemade one, I roped in 3 of them for a blind taste test. They were blindfolded in order to allow them to rely purely on their sense of taste alone.
Bacon Cheese Sausages
We tried 5 different flavours from Lily’s Homemade:
ThailiciousBacon & Cheese Pork & ApplePepper & GarlicThe Classic Italian
For our processed sausage option, we went with store-bought pork ones from Jaya Grocer’s non-halal section. Johnsonville sausages were chosen to match Lily’s Homemade’s price point and size.
Johnsonville sausages
Here’s how the experiment went, including what my colleagues thought of each flavour:
 1. Joyce, the one who purchases premium preservative-laden sausages

Thailicious: “I can taste strong spices like turmeric but it’s not too spicy. I can taste the lemongrass in this one.”
Bacon & Cheese: “This has a juicy texture and it has a very familiar taste to it. Tastes like what a sausage should taste like to me.”
Pork & Apple: “It’s a bit bland for me and the texture feels like a liver. The aftertaste reminds me of a fruit cake.”
Pepper & Garlic: “This one’s quite juicy and it has a Char Kuey Teow-like (wok hei) aroma. Very tender meat.”
The Classic Italian: “The aroma in this one is like walking through a spice market, I can taste the star anise. It’s my least favourite. I’m guessing this has preservatives in it.”
Johnsonville sausages: “This one’s definitely homemade.”
When I revealed to Joyce that her guesses were wrong, she was suitably shocked but added that she would still go for the Johnsonville sausages simply because of the familiarity in flavours.
2. Bing Han, the one who grew up eating store-bought, preservative-laden sausages

Thailicious: “Tastes like KL laksa, it’s a bit spicy but you can taste the herbs in this one.”
Bacon & Cheese: “No spices in this one, it tastes like a normal store-bought sausage.”
Pork & Apple: “This one’s slightly sweeter than the rest, there’s a fruity aftertaste.”
Pepper & Garlic: “There’s a bit of ginger and garlic in this one. The texture is very chunky, it’s definitely homemade.”
The Classic Italian: “It has a peppery taste.”
Johnsonville: “This one’s my favourite. It tastes processed because the texture is a lot finer than the rest. When you chew on this, there is no texture unlike the rest which has actual meaty chunks.”
Bing Han managed to guess which was the preservative-laden sausage from the lot simply because of the texture of the sausage. This just goes to show that the chunky meaty texture of homemade sausages is very much appreciated because it does not taste processed.
When I revealed to Bing Han that the Johnsonville sausages and Lily’s Homemade’s sausages are within the same price tier, he said that he would go for the homemade ones because they are a healthier option.
While some might find Lily’s Homemade pricey at RM30-RM39 per packet, a walk down the non-halal aisle of a grocery store would reveal that there are plenty of sausage options from different price tiers, some even going up to RM30+ (and they may or may not contain preservatives depending on the brand).
At the end of the day, it all boils down to your budget.
So, if you’re conscious about your health, it’s nice to know that you have the option of getting healthier sausages for the same price you’d likely pay at the grocery store.
3. Evelyn, the one who grew up eating healthy, homemade meatballs

Thailicious: “I can taste the bunga kantan herb in this one, it’s a bit spicy.”
Bacon & Cheese: “I can taste the chunky meat texture in this one. There’s BBQ and cheese in this one.”
Pork & Apple: “Tastes like my mom’s homemade meatballs. It has a sweet meat taste to it.”
Pepper & Garlic: “Tastes like a real pork sausage. This one tastes more mellow than the rest, it can be eaten with a sweet condiment and you won’t feel jelak.”
The Classic Italian: “It has herbs in it. It’s either mint, rosemary or cinnamon. I can taste the star anise and it tastes like spices and herbs used in Indian cooking.”
Johnsonville: “The meat is chewier, the casing is crunchier and it’s much saltier. I’m fairly certain this has preservatives in them.”
Evelyn was all for the homemade sausages and she mentioned how if she was trying to eat healthier, she would go for the Pork & Apple or Bacon & Cheese sausages.
However, The Classic Italian would be her choice if she were craving a good steak.
Having said that, she isn’t against the preservative-laden sausage completely. “If I’m craving a good classic “familiar-tasting” sausage, I’d go for the Johnsonville sausages”.
After observing their responses, I decided to try the experiment myself. Here’s what I thought of the meats:
4. Anna, the one who grew up eating healthy foods

Thailicious: “This one has a wok hei aroma to it but tastes a little bland. If I had this at a Thai restaurant, I’d be disappointed.”
Bacon & Cheese: “I can taste the cheese in this one as well as rosemary and thyme-like herbs.”
Pork & Apple: “The taste reminds me of luncheon meat. The texture falls apart easily and the meat melts in the mouth.”
Pepper & Garlic: “This one’s not very memorable, tastes bland but I do like the texture of this. Doesn’t taste artificial.”
The Classic Italian: “It has very Chinese flavours to it. Reminds me of a peppery Szechuan-style dish.”
Johnsonville: “The casing is so tough that it’s actually very hard to chew through. It’s also a lot saltier than the rest.”
From this experiment, what I could gather is that our tastebuds are very much accustomed to artificial flavours and most of us can pick it up instantly, blindfolded or not. The taste is also familiar and enjoyable to most—Joyce mentioned how she would stick to processed sausages.
That being said, some of my colleagues did mention that they are not only open to trying homemade sausages, but actually enjoy the flavours at the same time.
As Evelyn puts it, “I grew up eating homemade food so I can tell when it’s factory-made or with preservatives. I would rather get the homemade ones because store-bought ones would stick to regular flavour combinations like cheese, whereas I feel homemade sausage brands might experiment with more spices and herbs”.
If you’re curious to try Lily’s Homemade out, they have 50+ sausage flavours available for purchase here.

Crystal Lollies Exist And They Are Just As Pretty As We'd Imagine Them To Be!

Surprising someone with a gift doesn’t have to be an over the top idea. Sometimes, it’s the thought that counts.
Since bouquets and chocolates are quite common these days, surprising your loved ones with a nostalgic candy would, rest assured, be an interesting gift.
Like most, Aki, founder of Poplicious Candy Factory, adores cute little things. Hence came the idea of creating an adorable gift that’s simple yet close to heart.

These beautifully crafted lollipops come in an array of designs (Wonderland, Sweet, Mystery Black, Colourful, Royalty Series etc). You can bet that regardless of what occasion it is, these would make for a perfect gift!

Aki was a flight attendant prior to diving into the F&B scene with her gorgeous lollipops. It all started from her love of sweet things and her desire to share her joy with everyone.
Creating an exquisite crystal lollipop might sound simple. However Aki does everything from scratch by her own – from the production to packaging and even coming up with unique designs that stands out.

By having a variety of intricate designs, we probably wouldn’t know where to start and which to choose from.

Poplicious’ lollipop collection comes in 3 different sets.
You can opt for 3 lollipops in a set and this will cost RM47.70. A set of 5 is priced at RM79.50 and you can select any flavour that you want.
If you’re looking to treat yourself, you can opt to purchase an individual lollipop for only RM15.90. Frankly, for such a pretty exquisite design, I’m all for it.

Poplicious Candy Factory has only been around for a year but is beginning to build their following on social media. They’ve developed 40 different lollipop styles in total, including customised orders from customers.
Aki shared with DiscoverKL that the flavour of the lollipop is much like a sugarcane candy, but less sweet. As for the ingredients, it includes isomalt, edible icing paper, edible colouring, edible flavouring and sugar. They are only 20 calories a pop!
While the ingredients itself may not be particularly nutritious, candies hardly are and the key is to enjoy these lollipops sparingly.

If you are intrigued, you can share over your desired pattern, text or even pictures to Aki and she will be able to customise a lollipop for you and your loved ones.

This Cendol Dessert Is Double The Indulgence With Added Durian Flesh In It!

Try naming some indulgent Malaysian foods and we bet that durian and cendol would be on your list.
These quintessentially Malaysian treats are awesome on their own but pairing them together is pure indulgence.
That’s what Cendol Durian Cowkit KL serves at their humble gerai.
Priced at RM13, each bowl comes with a row of sweet, ripe durian flesh, some sweetened corn and cendol. Be sure to have a little of each element on your spoon when taking a bite.

Popular amongst KL-ites, it’s also particularly well-known amongst Indonesians and Bruneians who have traveled the distance to try the famous cendol durian dessert.
Parking is a hassle here though and it’s best to come during the weekdays as huge crowds are to be anticipated during the weekends.
With that comes long queues as well but it’s said to be well worth the wait—especially for the ripe durian flesh.
Perfect to enjoy in the sunny weather, perhaps one bowl isn’t enough. 😛

The Westin’s 2023 Ramadhan buffet humbly celebrates its chefs’ fave childhood dishes

Last year’s The Westin Kuala Lumpur’s Ramadhan buffet, called The Westin Bazaar, was a hard one to beat in terms of variety and value.
For 2023 however, the hotel seems to have taken a more modest approach with its spread. While last year’s was more of a bazaar, this year’s Citarasa Anak Kampung focuses more on quality over quantity.
Before we dined, a few of The Westin’s chefs proudly took the stage to share the heartwarming stories behind their star dishes that were displayed.

For example, Chef Hamid Buyong presented his Kambing Golek Nasi Biryani, with the biryani inspired by his Indian and Arabic chef friends. Meanwhile, the lamb marinade recipe is inspired by his late grandmother.
Chef Hafizi, who hails from Tangga Batu, Melaka, had brought his kampung’s popular Portuguese Baked Salmon to the table, spiced up with a 20-year-old recipe from his late grandfather.

Some other chefs highlighted that night included Chef Iqbal, Chef Firdaus Atan, Chef Emy Fairuz, Chef Syeriff Hafizal, and Chef Sheikh Muzaffar, all offering their rendition of their favourite childhood dishes.

It was a great starter to the night, as we were able to immediately better appreciate the dishes before us, knowing that they weren’t just any other ayam rendang or daging masak lemak dish.
We started off with a bang, tackling Chef Hamid’s Kambing Golek Nasi Biryani. The meat was absolutely delicious and tender. The results of the slow 24-hour cooking process really came through.

It was also very well-seasoned, something that a few other buffets we’ve been to didn’t quite manage to execute. Chef’s grandmother’s recipe of marinating the meat in 12 types of herbs and spices truly brought on the flavour.
Tying everything together is the biryani, which is slow-cooked in a cauldron over an open fire, infusing every grain with a fragrant umami taste.

On the same plate, we had the Sambal Prawn and Daging Dendeng Berlado.
The Sambal Prawn was delectable, the flesh was still quite juicy while the sambal was on the sweeter side with a hint of spiciness.

A lot of the other similar dishes we’ve had at other buffets tended to have their prawns either really tough or cooked to mush with not much flavour imparted on the flesh.
The Daging Dendeng Berlado was a less familiar dish to us, but a nice one nonetheless. The meat was jerky-like and cooked in a light, tangy sauce.

Before we moved onto the next plate, we tried the Sup Kambing Merah Berempah. It’s a dish that hails from Chef Syeriff’s kampung of Tebrau, Johor.
The lamb is slow-braised for at least six to 10 hours before being served, and the meat was succulent, easily peeled away from the bone.

The soup was unlike anything we’ve had before from local cuisine. It was bright red with a heavy tomato flavour, sweet and tangy on the tongue.
The Portuguese Baked Salmon from Chef Hafizi was firm and consistent in texture, the essence of the sauce baked into the flesh that broke away easily with a gentle nudge.
On the other plate, we dug into some Rendang Ayam Kampung Pedas and Rendang Daging Tok to eat with lemang and ketupat.

The Rendang Ayam Kampung Pedas delivered on its spicy promise, but didn’t really stand out in terms of flavour, and the same went for the Rendang Daging Tok. Both meats had a good texture though.
Though mediocre in looks, the satay was flavourful, tender, and not too fatty. We preferred the chicken ones.

Moving on to other cuisines, we tried the Smoked Beef Brisket, and we were luckily fast enough to get good cuts of it.

It was smokey and very tender, with the best cuts having just the right distribution of fat. This meant it was flavourful enough on its own that accompanying sauces weren’t even needed.
Unfortunately, the Garlic Mashed Potato, while smooth, was very mild and did not provide a strong enough garlic flavour to justify its name.
Faring much better, the Beef Lasagna had a beautifully baked crust and distinct pasta layers, creating a delightful mouthfeel. The sauce had the right amount of tang and was generous with its meat.
For more carbs in the Western section, there was Pasta Aglio Olio with Vegetables, but it was rather cold and gummy after being left out.
It definitely would have been better if cooked fresh, but unfortunately, the live pasta cooking station from the previous year’s Ramadhan buffet was nowhere to be seen.

Something else that would’ve also been much better cooked on the spot were the Murtabak and Roti Canai. Since they weren’t served on hot plates either, they were cold and gummy too, their flavours muted.
The Rolling Fire Shawarma wraps were on the dry side and not as flavourful as they looked. The meat inside was also more like chicken tikka, and not the juicy shawarma we’re used to.

If you’re someone who must have plain rice at a buffet, there are quite a few nice dishes to enjoy it with.
They included the Potato Masala, Stir-fried Eggplant with Minced Chicken, and Japanese Bean Curd with Egg White Sauce.

The Potato Masala was soft and spiced well, and made for a warm, comforting side dish. The Stir-fried Eggplant with Minced Chicken was salted just right, and the eggplants weren’t too mushy. Meanwhile, the Japanese Bean Curd with Egg White Sauce was simple and homey.
The Wok Fried Mussel Chinese Style had a Kam Heong-like sauce, and the meat was decently-sized and juicy.
On the other hand, the Penang Char Kueh Teow was bland and missing “wok hei”, which was surprising because the noodles looked to be the right colour.

The different types of Dim Sum served were enticing, but weren’t stand-outs.
Other smaller bites that we didn’t try included an ulam-ulaman section and salad bar set up with the help of local agritech company, Cultiveat.

As usual, we finished off our buffet dinner with lots of desserts. The desserts presented a bit of a fun guessing game because many of the jellies, kuih, and cakes were unlabeled.

We kicked off our sweet ending with some macarons that were light green, yellow, and white with a dark middle.

The macarons were light with a crisp top and soft, airy centre, and their fillings weren’t too dense. In terms of texture and bite, they were one of the best macaroons we’ve tried at a buffet.
What was surprising was actually their flavours. They weren’t too sweet, but their main flavours were all so subtle that it was tricky trying to guess them.
Trying the green one, our popular guesses were either pistachio or matcha, while the yellow one tricked our brains into thinking it was either peanut butter or a fruit like mango or pineapple. The white one mainly tasted like chocolate, so we were completely stumped for that.
Turns out, the green one was actually green tea, and the yellow one was custard! And the final mysterious white one was… *drumroll* ganache!
We were shook, as the Gen Zs would say. The Westin sure keeps us on our toes, but we weren’t complaining.
The Westin also offers DIY ais kacang and a variety of hot and cold sweet soupy desserts.

But other than the macarons, there weren’t really any other desserts that captured our hearts.
Sarah might beg to differ though. She completely fell in love with the coffee-flavoured Raya biscuits. Perhaps more of a kuih than a dessert, they were melt-in-your-mouth, buttery-softness good.
She couldn’t stop eating them—which is odd seeing as one doesn’t usually come for a buffet just to snack on biscuits.

To quench your thirst, The Westin had the largest menu of drinks out of the Raya buffets we’ve tried this year.
There were hot drinks like soy milk and teh tarik, and cold ones like dragonfruit juice, honeydew juice, air tebu, and more classics.

Always keeping families in mind, The Westin also set up its signature Kids’ Corner, where there were all kinds of sweet and salty snacks that your young ones can indulge in for the night.

All in all, while many of the dishes at The Westin’s Citarasa Anak Kampung Ramadhan buffet were satisfying, there weren’t many that actually made us go, “Woah!”.
That’s in comparison to last year’s buffet, where even though there were also some hits and misses, the hits, well, seemed to hit harder.
Still, if you’re simply looking to buka puasa with a good variety of Malay dishes inspired by kampung favourites all across the states, Citarasa Anak Kampung is where you’ll find them.

Catch the buffet from March 24, 2023 to April 19, 2023.
From now until March 23, 2023, early bird prices for this buffet are RM158 nett per adult.

Everyone's Raving About This New Apple Cider Drink—AND It's Only RM10

There’s a new apple cider drink in town and it has a cheeky, mischievous and fun persona. #whatthefox am I talking about?
Everyone’s been talking about the cider drink and chances are, you might have spotted these witty foxes stocked up at convenience and grocery stores, restaurants, bars and pubs.
This New Zealand-inspired apple cider is made with real apples and it’s a new brand in the cider category.
The fox den area at the recent media launch of Apple Fox Cider in Malaysia.
The story behind the Apple Fox Cider is how foxes would sneak into orchards to hunt for the juiciest, freshest apples and that’s the inspiration behind these great-tasting apple ciders.

On the nose, the Apple Fox cider has a sharp, distinct fruity aroma. Sipping it, the drink has a smooth blend with a full-bodied flavour. The Granny Smith apple flavour would come to mind.

For someone who does not particularly enjoy alcoholic beverages, I found that the apple cider was refreshing. It had a touch of tanginess, but mostly sweet. I can imagine having this at an open barbeque on a night out with friends. It’s even better when served with ice.
And I guess that’s exactly what the Apple Fox Cider aspires to be—a drink you can have in hand whilst you embark on a night of fun, whatever that may be for you.
The Apple Fox Cider is available in sizes of 325ml (bottle) and 320ml (can) at convenience stores and grocery stores as well as at bars, pubs and restaurants. Grab one now at a promotional price from RM 5.80 per can. The offer is valid for a limited time period only.
Stay tuned to DiscoverKL for more updates of Apple Fox at their Facebook page , Instagram and the Official Apple Fox Site.

This Space Below The Bangsar LRT Lets You Punch Off Steam And Reload On Caffeine

If you’ve driven by the Bangsar LRT station in the evenings lately, you might have noticed a neon pink glow beneath it. Walking closer to it, you might even notice a pink room with a punching bag through their big windows, accompanied by fragrant whiffs of coffee.
Alternatively, maybe you’ve seen posts on puns and innuendos or came across their Instagram feed that follows a neon-coloured palette of pink, blue and yellow.

Honestly, that was what caught my attention. Their bold, bright and eye-catching colours made it really hard to ignore their social media presence.

But, this is not just every other hipster cafe with a pop of colour or one with an aesthetic Instagram page. It’s the tech startup and F&B business of a 25-year-old who’s felt the brunt of societal expectations and decided to overcome it by “raging” forward—hence its moniker.
Rage Social Club (better known as RAGE) is one of the newest coffee chains in KL. It was started out of a personal vendetta to stand against unfair stigmas in a conforming society.

“A lot of us are expected to go to university, obtain a degree and work a high-paying corporate job in order to be deemed successful. But a lot of successful entrepreneurs don’t do that. Yet we still bow to the societal and cultural belief that we need a degree in order for us to succeed,” said Jevin Singh, CEO and co-founder of RAGE.
Jevin shared that he started his career as an Uber driver. It wasn’t out of choice but merely due to the realisation that he couldn’t afford a degree due to the lack of funding and certain circumstances.

Rather than sitting on his hands, he decided to fight against it and see what could happen in the end. He refused to bow to the stereotype of having to work in a multinational company or the Big Four to be considered successful. These issues made him rage to never settle.

Within 5 years, he went from being an Uber driver to their Regional Operations Manager, the Head of Marketing for SOCAR and now, the CEO of this passionate tech startup that serves caffeine for go-getters.
I had my first Bulletproof Coffee and Espresso Cado Shake at RAGE and they were both beautiful, full-bodied and aromatic.
Bulletproof (RM8)
The fruity and nutty flavours of the espresso were nicely balanced out by the melted butter to create a strong cup of coffee without being sickeningly sweet and pungent.
Ice blended drinks are typically sweet, gets diluted after a while and tastes more like sugar or chocolate rather than coffee. However, the Espresso Cado Shake begged to differ.
Espresso Cado Shake (RM10)
It’s an ice blend of avocado, double shots of espresso, creamy milk and hazelnut syrup. The beverage had a smooth consistency with a mild earthy and milky taste from the avocado. Despite leaving it for a while, it maintained its taste without any dilution.
The quality of the products here combined with its competitively low prices speaks of the brand’s promise to “deliver inspiration on demand”.

To make things more convenient, the brand has an app called DrinkRage, of which users can order drinks from.
Tested and trialed, a drink order is only 6 taps away.
Choose location Choose drink Choose milk typeAdd to cartChoose delivery or pickupCheckout
Being able to customise the number of shots and milk type makes them by far one of the most flexible coffee apps.
As for delivery options, their cafe staff will send it to any location located within a 400m radius. Alternatively, you can pre-order and pick it up once you arrive to save you 15-20 minutes of waiting for a drink first thing in the morning. You’ll get to keep raging on with a perfect cup of iced or hot coffee.
At the moment, they’re targeting high density office areas such as KL Sentral and Bangsar LRT station. But in 9 months, they aim to have at least 50 outlets around the Klang Valley.
Raging With The Society

Besides helping us get caffeinated, they’re also active participants of the circular economy. Jevin shared that they source Primavera coffee from VCR and matcha from Niko Neko Matcha to keep the base price of their products low.
Plus, all these coffee grounds are turned into face, lip and body scrubs by The Mineraw.

Makissa Smeeton, Chief Community Officer (CCO) of RAGE shared that they regard themselves as a community space. Since opening their Bangsar space early this year, they’ve hosted a few workshops and community events over food and conversations for self improvement.

“Most of what we do at RAGE revolves around our goal of promoting the urge to #NeverSettle. It is our belief that every individual stands to beneﬁt from interacting with other interesting individuals. That is when differing perspectives are gained; ideas propagate and sometimes turn into action,” said Makissa.
Hence, they’ll be potentially hosting after-work activities such as movie nights, board game nights and food pairing evenings for people to destress and feel refreshed together. These events will also be integrated and announced on the DrinkRage app.

In the Bangsar space, there is also a RAGE room dedicated to the needs of punching off some steam. The vibrant pink also makes for some lit ‘grams.

Long communal tables are employed to encourage mingling and foster a close-knit communal spirit.
“The interior is built with a focus on relationships first,” said Jevin.

However, if stress eating is more of your go-to remedy, they’ve got vegan-friendly and plant-based Western-Asian fusion dishes. Expect Chilli Pan Mee, Sambal Aglio E Oglio, Chicken Avocado Sandwiches and more.
Being one of the more affordable caffeine options in town, here are their prices:
Black or white: RM8-10 per cupMatcha series: RM10 per cupRAGE specialty beverages: RM10-13 per cup
You’ll even get to customise your type of milk from dairy to oat, coconut and soy; take that, lactose intolerance!
The Final Rager

At the moment, they’re in 5 locations around town, namely Bangsar, F45 Wisma UOA II, Menara KLK, Common Ground UEM and Nu Sentral, with an upcoming stall in Mid Valley.
Within the next 9 months, they’re aiming to expand with more outlets around Klang Valley. However, not all of them would be a flagship store like the one in Bangsar.
“For now, we’ve got four outlet formats—a full-fledged cafe, coffee cart, kiosk and a co-working space,” shared Jevin.
Honestly, we couldn’t help but get a little excited with them on their expansion plans as it means it’ll be easier for us to get our hands on their delicious handcrafted beverages.
