Shugatori Café Review: Dreamy Mermaid Desserts With Major Unicorn Vibes!

Shugatori Dessert Café is known for their creative innovations, and when it comes to desserts, they never fail to impress. Located at the busy area of Damansara Uptown, Shugatori has been around since October 2016. In fact, the team hosted us during their early days and we were recently back for their mermaid desserts.

Upon entering the café, you’d be greeted by an inspirational quote: Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little dessert – and we here at DiscoverKL, can’t agree more.
With their logo of a hummingbird plastered on the brick walls, it definitely brings no surprise what the team behind this creative establishment can come up with. As hummingbirds always seek the sweetest nectar in all of the land, it teaches us to always find the best in each day. And that is such a good value to put to practice.

The café is extremely insta-worthy, with different styles in each nook and corner of the spot.
Almost guaranteeing the perfect backdrop for your IG pics, this spot is designed and decorated precisely with props of either a tropical vibe, a turquoise wall with a flock of origami birds hanging from the ceiling or some artsy wall design that is over the top.
An aesthetic ambiance alongside dreamy desserts? This is definitely a haven for every sweet tooth out there.

The DiscoverKL team dropped by on a Thursday afternoon just as the baristas and staff were setting up for the day. Within an hour, the space was packed with folks who were out for a lovely weekday afternoon.
What intrigued me the most is that dessert cafés like this usually caters to sweet tooths ranging from high school goers up to young adults. With that being said, Shugatori does step out from that demographic bubble as we witnessed three generations within the store.
At one end, we could see a group of aunties and uncles having a good laugh between themselves, sharing stories. Across from them was a mother with her 2 little kids asking if they could have some ice cream (of course their mom obliged). Then, walking into the store was a group of college boys.
However, with that being said, the volume within the space can get quite loud when it is packed with customers. If you’re looking for a chilled eatery with hardly a soul, this isn’t it. But we did enjoy the occasional laughter and chatter in the background so that worked in our favour.

First up was the refreshing Shooting Star (RM16) that consists of peach, mango, lemonade and rose. At first glance, the drink looks like it came straight out of a galaxy, what with its unique ombre colours.
It was absolutely flavoursome as it was filled with citrusy flavours that certainly complemented the sweet desserts we would soon enjoy.

Moving on, the dessert we were finally waiting for – the St. Mermaid Shibuya Toast (RM27.90).
This buttery charcoal toast is topped with blueberry lemon cream cheese, seashell meringue crisps, marshmallow, a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a mermaid tail made out of white chocolate.
On the side, we had a creamy blueberry sauce that we doused over the dreamy dessert. My personal opinion is that this mountain of hard charcoal bread could be a little softer in the middle. It’s such a pity that the texture was not what we had in mind for a toast, considering how the overall flavours were actually outstanding.
Every element on the plate had a balance between the acidity and sweetness to it which I think was pretty smart. I’d give this dish 8/10!

If you are not digging the toast version of the mermaid dessert, then Atlantis (RM25.90) should be your go-to. This is certainly the dessert-of-the-day for me as the charcoal waffle was absolutely thick and fluffy as you cut through it.
With the blueberry lemon cream cheese, it certainly gave the right punch of acidity for extra flavours on your palate. Although even without it, I am pretty sure it would still be a hit.
Plus, the sweetness wasn’t too overpowering which makes every element on the plate a burst of flavours with each mouthful. An absolute delectable treat for your tastebuds. ?
The ambiance, and the desserts were exceptionally good and I would certainly come back for the Shooting Star and Atlantis, hands down. The minds behind Shugatori always come up with unprecedented ideas and visions, however they have executed it flawlessly. I would like to take my hat off to them, for giving me a pleasant dessert memory to remember.

Shugatori Dessert Café
Hours: Tuesdays-Thursdays: 2pm-11.30pm, Fridays: 2pm-12am, Saturdays: 12pm-12am, Sundays: 12pm-11.30pm, (Closed on Mondays)

4 Tiny Meaningful Details In The Viral 2D Cafe That Adds More Dimensions To It

2D Cafe requires little introduction.
After all, within their first week of launching, they have officially achieved viral status in KL and as of now, is constantly packed with boba tea lovers and those who are fond of interesting cafes in town.
But amidst the hype surrounding the cafe and its comic book-like appearance, the founders have subtly included little hidden gems throughout the cafe that either mean something to them or are just quirky little additions to the unique space.
Here are 4 little hidden gems we spotted during our recent visit.

1. Mona Lisa (and The Scream) with their bubble tea

A Mona Lisa-inspired painting is “hung on the walls” and you’ll find it as soon as you enter the cafe.
We love how there are paintings of timeless characters in history scattered throughout the maze-like space.

And of course, you’ll also find a pretty accurate depiction of the famous painting, The Scream.
2. The unicorn bubble tea bottle

If you noticed the unicorn bubble tea drink in the lineup of bottles at the vending machine, congratulations.
The same founders behind 2D Bubble Tea are also behind the viral unicorn cafe, La Fleur Cafe, Sunway Geo Avenue’s resident coffee place.
We love the subtle hint and considering how La Fleur Cafe is located at the ground floor of the same shopping mall, perhaps it is a gentle reminder that you have the option to head there after you’re done with your 2D shots at the cafe.
3. The books listing all the entities under 2D Cafe’s founders

It’s hard to miss the intricate bookshelf in 2D Cafe.
It’s lined with a series of books and even a globe.

One series of books caught our attention because they listed the other entities founded by Mr. C and the team behind 2D Cafe.
These include Les Braders, a food and beverage catering company and Uniqorn, the dessert cafe under the same location as La Fleur Cafe.
Coincidentally, they are all located within Sunway Geo Avenue as well.
4. The founders of 2D Cafe themselves

It’s only right for the founders to pay themselves a much-deserved homage by subtly including their acronyms by way of the book’s spine.
JJ is an investor at 2D Cafe who assists by contributing ideas and is hands on in the operations of the business as well. Meanwhile, Mr. C is the mastermind behind the cafe itself.
The next time you’re at 2D Cafe, be sure to hunt down all these little hidden gems after you’re done marvelling at the one-of-a-kind space in Sunway Geo Avenue.

Hours: Thursdays-Tuesdays: 11am-10pm

Littlepeople Café Review: Homemade Popiah Ice Creams & Killer Pesto Pastas

When you think of hipster cafés, you’d think of places that are cool and pretentious, industrial almost.
Littlepeople Café is anything but.
Jun of LittlePeople shared with DiscoverKL that they want to humble themselves down and be the “little people” in the situation. As soon as you enter the space, you’ll realise that Littlepeople’s as transparent as it gets.

She noted that the concept of the café is to allow people to feel like they’re right at home or like they’re visiting a place that is dear to them. What stood out the most is their coffee counter. Instead of the generic rectangular-shaped coffee counter, theirs is shaped like an open-ended hexagon. It’s meant to make customers feel welcome and that they can always go up to the counter and chat with their barista.
Personally, the rustic nature-inspired ambiance is something I actually dig. It shows authenticity, and the open spacious concept makes the whole place feel warm and homely.

On top of that, the whole open counter concept allows baristas to showcase their skills to the customers as they wait for the arrival of their beverage. On a personal note, I enjoy watching them as they work and it low-key makes me feel inspired. This is not the norm at cafés where huge coffeemaker machines would often times block both the customer’s view of the barista and vice versa.

On top of that, Littlepeople has a giant show window, that allows guests to look into the kitchen. Customers get the chance to watch the crew at work as they make their meals. In return, the kitchen crew could also see the expressions of the customers when they enjoy their meals.

For starters we were served with their Avocado Toast (RM23). If you were never into healthy dishes, or beetroots for the matter of fact, this meal might change your mind. It’s a healthy, savoury breakfast option with a combination of green pea mashed avocado, tomato salsa, poached egg, mixed greens and a lemon dill vinaigrette. The combination of green peas along with the avocado mixes up the flavour, giving it more texture. As much as I really love avocado, it was a tad bit under seasoned for me. Fortunately, the tomato salsa gave the dish the acidity and balance it needed whilst the sweet potato purée was lusciously smooth.

The next dish was the House Salad (RM16) that had couscous, pickled beetroot, caramelized walnut and maple dressing. As it was my first time trying out couscous, I didn’t know what to expect. To me, it was like a cross between brown rice and quinoa. To my knowledge, cous cous is tasteless. However, for this dish, the cous cous absorbed the flavours of the maple dressing nicely. The citrus factor was also there, with the addition of the burnt orange.

What surprised me about the Duck Rotolo (RM26) was the way the pasta was presented – it’s an entire sheet of pasta. It’s quite a technical and time consuming dish to prepare, where its filling is rolled up in pasta sheets like a roulade, and later poached.
The filling is smoked duck with leek, poached egg, button and porcini mushroom sauce. When the dish arrived, it had this strong earthy flavour and aroma coming from the sprouts and mushroom sauce. A good combo, I would say. As the portions they served are quite huge, I would recommend sharing it with your partner. The flavours were all there but the taste of the duck overpowered the pasta. However, it’s worth the price and is a different take on regular pasta.

Pesto. Oh, my favourite. This is a dish I couldn’t find any faults with. The Pesto Tagliatelle (RM22) is basically the café’s vegetarian dish that comes with fresh basil pesto, cherry tomato, a pine nuts topping and some grated parmesan cheese. With a beautifully-balanced sauce and the perfect creamy texture, this dish definitely pays homage to the signature style of the eatery itself: simple yet beautiful.

Next, we tried their signature dessert of a Homemade Popiah Ice Cream (RM22). I think this is the most unique dish as I have never seen something quite like this anywhere else before. What’s even more mind-blowing about this whole dish is the efforts in making it.
Instead of using an ice cream churner, they handmade it. By serving both steamed and fried popiahs for different textures, and pomegranate seeds for additional acidity, I was left satisfied. As for the ice cream, it comes with two flavours – sweet potato and a rose damascena tea-flavoured ice cream. The flavours of the ice cream were absolutely luscious and creamy and makes you want to keep coming back for more. The edible flowers and peanut brittles as garnish elevated it to a restaurant-quality dish.

Last but not least, we tried their house specialty: the Duoo Set (RM25+). The whole point of this concept is to allow customers the chance to enjoy 2 different coffees for a complete filter coffee experience. We tried a coffee which had a hint of mandarin orange, sweet basil with hojicha. Definitely felt like an odd pairing but after taking a sip of the coffee, you’d get a slight taste of the sweet basil in the aftertaste.
On another note, I had high hopes for the 2nd cup of coffee. Unfortunately, it was a bit of letdown. The coffee tasted a little flat, and was like any other regular coffees that I have tasted before. If I had to choose, I suppose I would go for the coffee with the mandarin orange notes.
A little birdy told me that Littlepeople will be upgrading soon to introduce soft serve ice creams served with coffee and this will be introduced by the end of August 2018. So don’t forget to drop by then to check it out!

Warning: You'll Fall Absolutely In Love With These Sri Petaling Pasar Malam Snacks

The one thing that is rather unique to Malaysia is our pasar malam, otherwise known as night market. In Kuala Lumpur itself, there is already an abundance of pasar malams, like Pasar Malam OUG, Alor Street Food Night Market, Pasar Malam Connaught, and Sri Petaling Pasar Malam etc.
Of course, there is more than food that you can get at a pasar malam, like rip-off shoes, rip-off electronic products, and more rip-offs. Still, let’s be honest, the main purpose of anyone going to a pasar malam is to binge on the oiliest and fattest food that can only be found in a pasar malam, and then cry about it the next morning while also planning – and failing – to head to the gym later in the day.
So, if you’re planning to binge and then cry and then plan but then fail, here are the ten snacks you must try in case you find yourself at the Sri Petaling Pasar Malam.
1. Tofu Bakar
Image Credit: http://www.hungrygowhere.my/
Tofu? Ew. Bakar? Yas. Okay, not really, the public consensus about tofu is kind of split – understandable, because if it is a vegetable then why does it not look like one? If you enjoy tofu in general, you might find this fried version life changing. If you are the kind of person who run away at the sight of tofu, belum try, belum tau, sekali try, hari-hari mau, right?
This dish is served in a rojak style, tossed together with Penang special spicy sauce, cucumbers, peanuts, chicken floss, and crisps. What is most surprising is that it still somehow manages to remain crispy even when drenched with sauce. Magic.

2. Deep Fried Mushrooms
Image Credit: http://www.hungrygowhere.my
Make room in your hearts for these mushrooms, Yes, yes, you are at a pasar malam for deep fried meat, so why would you go for deep fried vegetables instead? Well, pal, because – as much as it hurts to say this – vegetables might actually taste better than meat, and this deep friend mushroom is.
It is sprinkled with tasteful chili powder and served in big chunks of batter – spicy and healthy! (Kinda). When the batter comes off, delight in the idea of getting to eat more when you’re done with the mushrooms. When the mushrooms refuse to separate, rejoice in the juicy and fullness of the food in your mouth. Allow it to explode and blow your mind.
3. Deep Fried Glutinous Rice Cakes
Image Credit: http://www.hungrygowhere.my
Now, you’re probably like: What on earth is a glutinous rice cake? Chinese people, you may know it as nian gao (年糕). It is a lump of sticky sweet rice that when after you’ve swallowed it, the sweetness of it sticks in your mouth so well that you may be able to sweet talk your way out of anything.
At this stall in this particular pasar malam, the treat comes in the form of miniature pieces that can be eaten in a couple of bites. Plus, the crunchy batter coating the treat is a perfect complement to the gooey sweetness of the cake itself. If you don’t want to eat the cake alone, you can always have it fried together with yam and and sweet potato.
4. Pork and Leek Pies
Image Credit: http://www.hungrygowhere.my
For the perfect comfort food that offers you meaty goodness with the crunchiness of vegetables, look no further than the pork and leek pies available. These pies are filled to the brim with pork mince and leek fillings, and grilled to a perfect golden brown right in front of the customers.
5. Salted Egg Fried Chicken
Image Credit: http://openedheartclosedmouth2.blogspot.my
Entirely unhealthy, completely viable for a heart attack and kidney problem, but so delicious. Any salted egg obsessed individual will definitely appreciate the greatness of salted egg fried chicken. Fried chicken is savoury enough as it, but when coated with salted egg batter, you will definitely experience a foodgasm.
6. Black Stinky Tofu
Image Credit: http://openedheartclosedmouth2.blogspot.my
Another tofu? Yes, because while the first one probably smells nice, this one absolutely stinks like a skunk. For any normal person, when it stinks, the first reaction is to walk away because what if it’s a dead body? Well then, do not walk away if you smell an odour in this particular pasar malam; it is not a dead body, but another absolutely tasty treat that you will definitely regret if you miss out on it. The spicier the tofu, the tastier it is.
7. Dimsum
Image Credit: pinchables.net
If you are looking for cheap but still delicious dimsum, the Sri Petaling Pasar Malam has it for you. They have an assortment of Chinese treats that definitely taste as delightful as they look. Their most popular dimsum, though, is their siu mai, which is always the first one among all to be sold out.
8. Char Kuey Teow
Image Credit: pinchables.net
You do not go to a pasar malam and not eat at least a plate of char kuey teow. It’s just not realistic. Luckily for you, down the zigs and the zags of the Sri Petaling Pasar Malam, you will find at least three char kuey teow stalls, all of them unique and tasty in their own ways. Keep your stomachs empty, and prepare to try all five stalls and decide which one is your favorite.
9. Dragon Beard Candy
Image Credit: pinchables.net
Do not miss out on the soft and pillowy sweetness of the Dragon Beard candy that is available at this pasar malam. Given that it used to be a delicacy for the Chinese Emperors back in the day, you get to understand why this sweet was reserved for the royalty in the olden days – perhaps you might even feel like an emperor yourself while you are eating this sweet.
One look at it and you probably think it’s just strings of sugar, but no, because when you take one bite, you will be attacked with the taste of toasted peanuts and sesame seeds. The strands themselves are made from sugar and maltose syrup combined. Eating it fresh is best because it does not bode well in the humidity and may melt off easily.
10. Coconut Ice Cream
Image Credit: http://openedheartclosedmouth2.blogspot.my
And finally, after all the fried and the grilled, perhaps it is time to take it down a notch. The best way to do so is by trying out their coconut ice cream. Or you can also get your dessert in the form of coconut shakes, blended with Oreo, Nestum, or chocolate, or even all four together!

Comments came flooding in soon after:
“Marina on 57 /Suzie Wong /Arena Bar/[email protected]” said one Instagram user.
“Malacca for food, historical, cultural sight seeing,” said another.

Sunny is best known for his roles in dramas like In Time With You, Once Upon A Love and Gatao, his full sleeve of tattoos and his marriage with Taiwanese singer, Dominique Choy.

Now, the Taiwanese heartthrob has a new title to his name and he’s down in KL for that very reason.
As the co-founder of street fashion label, Imperial Taels, Sunny is visiting KL for the brand’s official in-store launch, held at Major Drop Mid Valley.
“I’m really excited to meet my fans in Malaysia. They’ve been extremely supportive of my career from the very beginning and it’s a huge honour to introduce Imperial Taels to them in person,” Sunny shared.

Imperial Taels is a streetwear brand which incorporates traditional Chinese designs and Western flare. First introduced in Taiwan, it then entered the Singapore market and the apparel line will now be exclusively available at all Major Drop outlets in Malaysia.

On February 4, Sunny will be hosting a special meet-and-greet where fans will be able to meet him in person for photo ops and an autograph session, with every purchase of an Imperial Taels item in-store or via pre-order on Major Drop’s online store (available for pick-up during the event).
In line with Imperial Tael’s Fall/Winter Collection ’17, the Silver Jewellery collection is one to look out for, and purchases from this very collection will also grant fans priority access to the meet-and-greet session.

This M'sian Specialty Grocer Validates Its Produce Through Private Dining Sessions

Cooking and food are arguably few of the more gratifying experiences in life and one startup to wisely take advantage of this is Curious Grocer.
Curious Grocer started off as a platform where Malaysians could get their groceries delivered to them. But in a market that is saturated with e-grocers, they have all the more reason to find a means to stand out. They have since changed their business model to offer quality ingredients to individuals and restaurants, as well as host occasional private dining sessions.

Enter Curious Dinners. It is a private dining session open exclusively to the team’s restaurant and business partners as well as private guests. Dining in requires reservation, which is to be made in advance. As the dining session is held right in the cosy space of Curious Grocer’s HQ, each session is open only for 8-14 persons.

On top of a private dining session at the Curious Grocer HQ, Malaysians can also opt to book the team’s services for dining sessions at the comfort of their own home. The team will then prepare the meals as well as host the dining session. As Andrew puts it, “Sometimes we have requests to give the same experience at our customers houses or at locations of their choice”, so there’s definitely a demand for what they’re offering.
In my honest opinion, it’s a genius idea, made more authentic by the fact that the idea came by accident.

“The idea for Curious Dinners came about probably by pure accident. We started off with a lot of experimentation. In the search for the best way to cook the ingredients we have in our test kitchen/ office, a few of our friends wanted to invite more people to come by to try the food. So one thing led to another and we thought “Hey! This is actually a great way to introduce as well as explain the story our ingredients to our customers,” co-founder Andrew shared with DiscoverKL.
From a strategic standpoint for Curious Grocer, they’re giving their potential clients a taste of what to expect when they deal with them. The team also gets to put a face behind the names of their clients and get first hand reviews of their produce.

As for those who are dining in, they get a chance to dive into an alternative dining experience where chefs not only prepare the dishes right in front of them, but also share the story of each produce’s origin and how best to prepare it. It’s almost like a live cooking class, but you don’t have to do any of the work.
“We started the business with the belief that there are people who, like us, appreciate great ingredients. So we try to source for what we think are high quality ingredients and deliver it to our restaurant partners and private customers,” Andrew said.

“Every dish we serve is focused on the ingredient, and the way we think is a great way to prepare it. So expect very authentic ingredients, prepared in the most natural way we think possible that will still accomplish an outstanding dish,” Andrew noted.
For RM220-RM350, you’ll get a 4-course meal, but again, it’s not just about the food. It’s about the novelty of having an intimate dining experience with like-minded people and equal food lovers.

At the end of the day, what keeps Curious Grocer and Curious Dinners up and running is the founders’ mutual love for food—whether it’s eating it, cooking it or simply just talking about it.
With this startup, quality trumps quantity and the Curious Grocer team are constantly encouraging Malaysians to be curious about what they’re eating, how the produce is sourced, as well as learning the best ways to prepare, pair and enjoy their meals.


This ‘Museum’ In KL Has Free Desserts, Unicorns, & Donuts Bigger Than Your Head

Calling all selfie and dessert lovers! There’s a new spot in town, and it’s screaming for your attention.
Located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, you can now get to experience a multi-sensorial journey at Malaysia’s first ever dessert-themed Selfie Museum.
Image Credit: Fahrenheit88
The museum is said to be the first in Malaysia with such concept: integrating 3 main elements that feature rooms with creative installations, interactive technology and also food tasting to satisfy our Malaysian’s deep love of desserts.
If you have the means, why settle with just one room? So the creative minds behind the museums came up with 9 instead. Each room displays different themes, and designs—giving its patrons a desire of taking more Insta-worthy pictures.
Image Credit: Marketing Interactive

Measuring 7,000 square feet in size, this hot spot is sponsored by international and local favourite brands from Pandora, Benefit Cosmetics, Samsung, Baskin Robbins, Hotlink Red, TeaLive, Lingham Chilli Sauce, llaollao, and dUCk Scarves.
Selfie lovers don’t only get to pose with the life-sized desserts, but they get to eat them, as well.
Image Credit: @heyyml & @luna2hans
To fulfill your cravings, you will get a total of 5 Malaysian-inspired desserts: Sirap cupcakes, Baskin Robbins ice cream, Pisang tarts, and TeaLive bubble tea. And did we mention it is all for FREE?!
Apparently, the idea behind the whole concept came from how families love the feeling of interacting and bonding with each other as they come together to take a photo.
And with the Selfie Museum, families can now enjoy themselves even better with the museum features and also capture long-lasting memories in photographs to hold on for a lifetime. Quite inspirational, I must say.
Image Credit: @jojoanneee & @kellysashimi
The first room you’d encounter would be The Giant Cakes designed by Pandora.
It displays a variety of vibrant coloured life-size cake sculptures. Also in this room, patrons can either choose one cupcake between the two flavours of Sirap or Gula Melaka.
Image Credit: @johnlmc & @emmylee02
Next up is the room representing Benefit Cosmetics: Everything’s Sweet.
An eye-catching room with candies, a room you’d want to be in to catch terrific selfies with a pastel coloured background, a bathtub ball pit to a vintage payphone and such. Plus point, you can also enjoy some soft and fluffy corn or lychee marshmallows as you walk through this gorgeous looking room to the next one.
Image Credit: @itsgiaazizah & @eateatbangbang
Fluffy and soft like cotton candy and marshmallow? Count me in!
Just be in the moment at Fluffy Path and take endless pictures to capture the memories, so you can look back. Always wanted to know what is it like to be up in sky? This is your chance, then!
Image Credit: @johnlmc & @emmylee02
Hungry for some ice cream? Well, what about taking pictures with giant ice cream sculptures by Baskin Robbins? Ice-Cream World features the most sinful but the most delicious meal to pose with—and to top it off, you will also receive a free scoop of their Cold Brew Crunch or Cotton Candy flavoured ice cream. So, you’re not only posing, but you can eat too!
Image Credit: @yaronayunu & @meenday
dUCkies Café is the perfect insta-worthy cafe that we all want to be at. With an interesting setting of a large teh ais, ikat tepi—dUCk Scarves has certainly up the game of putting a local twist. And don’t forget to have a swing on their ice cream biscuit for a good time!
Image Credit: @karenkh0 & @jessicashaw
What’s a Rainbow room without a magical giant unicorn that spreads love and joy to everyone?
Unicorns are sure to make people smile and be on top of their day! Don’t forget to take a selfie with the adorable creature at this magical rainbow spread room.

SAMSUNG Galaxy presents 3 zones of different interactive experiences with the latest SAMSUNG Galaxy S9+.
You can go bananas and jump into a ball pit or take an elegant photo with a pretty background projecting behind of you, all at the Super Happiness room!
Image Credit: Marketing Interactive & Fahrenheit88
The Splash Lab—brainchild of TeaLive and llaollao—features a life-size of your favourite bubble tea stuck on the wall with giant pearls that would make you crave for some.
Not to mention, the giant tub of yoghurt that is pretty much screaming your name. A perfect combo where patrons will be rewarded with a complimentary cup of Roasted Milk Tea with Grass Jelly to quench your thirst after passing by the tempting room.
Image Credit: @emmylee02 & Marketing Interactive
Last but not least, Do-Nut-Stop right there—there is still the room by Hotlink that you need to get by. If you have a huge undying love for donuts, then get a sugar rush as you fancy your way among huge donuts that looks too good to be eaten.
With that being said, you can choose a local-flavoured tart (coconut or banana!) for FREE.
If you love taking selfies, and are a sweet tooth then this is the place you’d want to be at!
What are you waiting for? Scoot your way to town and get absolute delicious photos of you that would make all your friends drool as they scroll through your IG feed! ?

We Tried KFC's New Fried Chicken Waffle Burger So You Don't Have To

KFC is known for coming up with quirky creations. In the past, there’s been the Salted Egg Fried Chicken, the Chizza, and now, there’s the Fried Chicken Waffle Burger.

Their new Zinger Waffle burger launched nationwide on October 2 and we had our entire office try out the waffle burgers to get their thoughts on KFC’s latest product.

It is similar to the original Double Down by KFC, but instead of having fried chicken patties as the “bun”, waffles are used instead. The regular buns that we all are familiar with has been swapped with thick Belgian waffles instead.
Sandwiched in between are the spicy KFC Zinger fillet and crispy chicken strips, topped off with a drizzle of maple syrup and a touch of classic KFC mayo sauce.
The Zinger burger has always been my favourite, hence naturally my expectations for this new twist was high.
We had pretty good first impressions as the waffle burger was of a generous portion size. The waffles were unexpectedly thick, and so was the fried chicken patty. We’d give it 4/5 stars based on looks alone.

But it only took one bite for us to reconsider our initial 4-star rating.
Sure, it’s big. But the same can’t be said about the flavours.
We found the waffles to be a little too dry. It was arduous trying to finish them and the small drizzle of maple syrup did not help much either.
The waffles were also far too thick and taste more like day-old bread than it did a waffle.
There were those who enjoyed the flavour of the waffles though and even likened it to a softer version of a honey butter biscuit. But the general consensus was how the waffle was just too dry to thoroughly enjoy.
Perhaps, the only thing that stood out would be the Zinger fillet. The breaded chicken was exceptionally crunchy and seasoned to perfection. Some of us even went for seconds.

Clearly, this new burger is not for everyone but if you’re keen to give it a go nonetheless, we’d advice you to top up your burger with some ketchup or chilli sauce.
We’d still stand by the fact that the idea is a pretty good one and though it failed to be executed right, we’re not opposed to giving it another go if KFC reintroduces this dish with waffles which are moist and thinner.
The KFC Zinger Waffle Burger is available in all KFC outlets nationwide, with prices starting from RM13.50 for à la carte options. The burger is a limited time offering and can also be purchased in a combo meal set, which comes with an additional Crispier Fries and Pepsi Black.


【七月半鬼门开】KL 七大恐怖到让你吓破胆的鬼屋！

华人朋友都知道，农历七月十四日是我们的孟兰节，民间俗称鬼节。
在这个月期间，大人都会劝我们晚上不要到处游荡，以免招惹灵体。
而民间一直都相信这些灵异物体是存在的，只不过和我们在不同空间而已。
那你相信世界上有鬼吗？来和小编一起到KL 最恐怖的鬼屋来一趟令人惊心胆跳的冒险吧！
1） 甲洞Jalan 7 凶宅

位于Desa Complex (Fajar) 附近的有一间老旧阴深深的独立式洋房已被弃长时间。
据说每到午夜时分还会听到屋内传来阵阵令人毛骨悚然的抱怨声。屋子长期被果树包围处于黑暗，屋内不时传来阵阵腐蚀臭味和屎尿味。
根据坊间说法，这家凶宅原本是住着和乐融融的一家人，可是不知何故一家人突然为钱起争执而互相残杀，导致冤魂被困在屋内。
长达30年来，很多人想买下这间洋房却不断遭遇灵异事件，加上曾经有外劳在此借宿时却不断发生意外，导致这家豪宅的鬼故事不胫而走。
曾经有记者带着师父去看这家凶宅。师父说此凶宅长期无法令阳光透入，阴气极重。
不仅如此，房子的格局也非常诡异。师父说大门上门的横梁就如一把利刀，每天进屋子的人都会被砍一刀，造成健康受影响与家庭不合。在参观屋子时，师父当时还突然听见一股男子声音传来耳边告诉他自己的车子被偷，还被亲戚杀害…
可见这家凶宅里的冤魂有死得多么的不甘心。
2）维多利亚中学

这所维多利亚中学生是马来西亚历史最悠久的学校之一，已有116年之久。
据说常常有人在夜晚看到有日军操步和厮杀。此学校之前是一个被日军占领的军事基地，甚至还设有地下刑讯室。
也有不少同学亲身经历过看过日军的影像和突然出现诡异反应。
甚至听说有个男同学一日突然失去意识后被发现躺在学校的水槽盖上。
3）Bangsar Bukit Tunku 鬼屋

这鬼屋附近都长满野草，连铁栅也被野草堵住了， 屋顶和窗户都已掀开了，很多居民称晚上经过时还蛮恐怖的。
据说大约20年前，一对洋人夫妇住在那里，为人夫者不知为何把妻子杀了肢解，埋在屋外土地，后来被揭发。
传说在案发后到现在，每晚可隐约听见妇女哭声。 后来有人买下洋房，在装修时却频出意外，
装修外劳曾在晚上惊见凌空的染血人头。事后经高人指点，把屋顶掀开照晒太阳驱邪，
却在短短的时间内长满野草和寄生植物，把屋子重新掩盖起来。
据说还曾有两人打赌入内探险，结果一人疯了一人从此下落不明。

4）Cheras Poliklinik 焦赖诊所

说到猛鬼医院，焦赖一家诊所是传闻已久的出名闹鬼。
根据有关管理员表示，这家废弃长达20年的旧诊所确实存有灵异物体，尤其停尸房内的一只因难产不治的女鬼最不喜欢被人打扰。
曾有记者进去探险诊所内探险，拍到照片可看到模糊小孩身影，诡异的老翁，还有长发女子的身影。
管理员也表示，自己看守了十多年也不知不觉产生通灵能力，女鬼还曾告诫他如果有人想踏进停尸间，就必须留下一个。
而曾有外籍高僧擅自闯入停尸间后突然发出凄惨叫声，随后全身僧袍破烂不堪的跑出来，命令弟子们火速离开。
5）Karak 大道

Karak的高速公路鬼故事是大部分人都听闻过的吧！据说这里频频涉及死亡车祸还有在路旁啃脑的女鬼。
故事是当时一对夫妻在路途中发生汽车故障，丈夫命令妻子呆在车内而自己便下车检查。
不知过了多久，妻子发现丈夫还没回来且车顶上有异状。而疲倦的她也发现所有经过她的车辆都会缓慢靠近她的车再加速驶开。
直到警察来到并用扩音器叫她别回头的离开车内时，她从车镜看到自己的车顶上有只白衣面容狰狞的女鬼在啃一个人头….
6) Pudu 监狱

据说很多人走到转弯角就会无故失踪，甚至隔天在别的地方醒来，有少部分人却永远消失了。
而且曾经有个吉隆坡公司要在监狱里搞舞台剧，当演到一幕是女演员哭的时候，没料到女演员越哭越大声，
越哭越奇怪直到最后歇斯底里的乱叫乱哭，从此没人再敢在pudu监狱里办舞台剧。而该区目前正建立者大厦。
7）高原塔

于1993年在雪州安邦淡江区倒塌的高楼，导致48人死亡而之后的其他单位都一直传说被看到鬼影，继而导致一個山明水秀，风涼水冷的好地方，变成冤魂不息，猛鬼出笼的危险地带。
之后在那里工作的外劳，他們往往在夜深无人之时，听見隱隱约约的哭泣之声，可是无论他们怎么寻找，却怎么也找不到哭声的來源。
此外，也有不少以废坦做阳台的非法劳工情侶，在该处谈情说爱之时，听到小孩的嬉笑和追逐之声，又或是在做不道德行位时，发觉背后有一对对好奇的眼睛，在盯着自己。而眼睛之下，找不到鼻子和嘴巴……
看完这些，如果你还是觉得自己一个人很寂寞的话，你可以关灯在客厅一个人看鬼片。
因为过一阵子你就会发现到你的床底下有人，背后有人，角落也有人，你其实一定都不孤单哦~


We Went On A Culinary Journey To 5 Global Locations With A 58mm-Tall Chef

Have you heard of the
world’s smallest chef? He’s French, and only 5.8cm tall.
Yes, we’re talking about
Le Petit Chef, who you may have heard of from all the global social media attention
he’s gotten since his first appearance in 2015.
He’s the star of a dining
experience that’s a 3D-mapping project by Skullmapping, an artist collective
based in Belgium.
Over the years, the
thumb-sized chef has travelled the world to show off his culinary skills, and my
colleagues and I had the opportunity to be his guests for a night at ELEMENTS
in TREC.

Upon arriving for our
7 PM session, we were escorted into a dark room that had black curtains
covering up all its windows.
On the tables were glasses
of water and books labelled ‘Dinner Time Stories’ for each person, illuminated by
a circle of bright light coming from the projectors that were all across the
ceiling.
The books were simply the main ‘stage’ on which Le Petit Chef would be appearing later.

Inside the book was
the actual menu sheet, and the theme for our particular dining experience was Marco
Polo’s journey across the Silk Road, which Le Petit chef would be emulating.
It was a 6-course
dinner that included starters, Middle Eastern, Indian, Himalayan, Chinese, and French
cuisine.
For Starters…
I’ll come right out
and say it: I don’t like oysters.
So, of course, I wasn’t
too keen on the starters upon reading its first two ingredients: pacific
oyster, and oyster cream.
As Le Petit Chef
embarked on his journey across the sea, he eventually got stranded and disappeared
out of sight. The starters were then brought in, and I tackled the brioche
first, still eyeing the oyster warily.

The brioche topped
with fourme d’ambert (a mild blue cheese) and honeycomb was sweet and tinged
with the typical stinky savouriness of blue cheese. Nothing special, but it served
its role as a little something to awaken the palate before the main courses
rolled in.
When I tackled the
oyster, I was fully expecting to bite into a fleshy body, but surprisingly only
got a mouthful of oyster cream. Its flavour was light and subtle, with the caviar
spheres adding pops of saltiness as I chewed.
Making It To The
Middle East
After Le Petit reappeared
and washed up on shore, he trekked across the desert before entering a bustling
Middle Eastern square.
He got into his usual
shenanigans, and then the second course was brought in. This time, it was a
course to be shared between two people.

There were marinated lamb
kebabs, smoked duck crisps, feta cheese, hummus, yoghurt dip, pita bread and
beetroot.
You might think that
the lamb kebabs would steal the show, but my favourite thing was the pita bread
dipped in all the condiments. The lamb ended up tasting rather bland in
comparison to the stronger flavours of the dips.
I’m no food connoisseur,
but overall, I found the meal nicely balanced in terms of proportion and flavour.

Into India We Head
We watched Le Petit
Chef and his bird friend play in the colourful dyes for Holi before getting
served our food.

This time we had rasam,
salmon, green peas masala, rice idli, and tikka
chutney. Biting into the salmon that was cooked to perfection was love at first
taste.

For this dish, I definitely recommend
taking bites of everything at once as the combined flavours were phenomenal and
cemented it as my favourite course of the night (yes, even before I had tasted
the last three).
I skipped the rasam, however, as its
tangy flavour is not something I’ve acquired the taste for yet.
Hiking Up The Himalayan Range
Well, Le Petit Chef didn’t actually hike up
the mountains. He had his feathery friend conveniently fly him to the snowy peak.
To simulate the cloudy frost you’d find in
the Himalayans, the dessert of raspberry sorbet, kaffir lime soda and mint
jelly comes with dry ice on the side (not inside).

As I poured hot, rose-scented water on the
dry ice, white clouds began brewing. Looking across the room at the other
tables and seeing a blanket of clouds covering the entire place was a sight to
behold.
The dessert itself was a nice
palate-cleanser, tart and cold enough to refresh the senses. A little on the
sweeter side, but I’m not complaining.
Chased Like A Chicken In China
After landing in China, Le Petit Chef got into some trouble when he ate food left out for spirits. A dragon statue came alive and began to chase him down, but his bird friend came to the rescue.
For the last main course for the night, we had flat rice noodles, mushrooms, chicken and baby leek.

The noodles were soft and springy, the mushrooms were flavourful, there was a bit too much chicken (as delicious as it was), and I’m pretty sure the baby leek had somehow been replaced by asparagus (which I still enjoyed)!
One of my colleagues commented that the chicken
was a little salty, but we both agreed that we would rather it be salty than
bland.
The French Finale
Le Petit Chef returned to his place of origin,
spoke to us for a bit then promptly disappeared. We received a plate each and
had it arranged to sit perfectly within the circle of light from above.
He soon popped back up and began ‘preparing’
our dessert, crème brulee. Once it was done and he scorched its surface, we had
the real thing delivered to us.

It was a two-part dessert: a plate of crème
brulee on top of a bowl of chocolate mousse. I enjoyed the creamy, sweet
custard of the crème brulee more, but after trying both desserts together, that
was how I cleaned off the plate and bowl.
Reflecting On The Journey
The proportions of the 6 courses were
sufficient for me as I usually don’t eat much, and prefer to have variety over
quantity.
Even if you’re a large eater, I have a
feeling that you might be full at the end because of how the overall dining
experience is spread out over an hour long.
While Le Petit Chef was entertaining, it was the food cooked by Chef Steve Ariffin (the real chef behind it all) that I really enjoyed.
There was also a host who interacted with
guests throughout the experience, dressing up in the traditional garb of each cuisine’s
location appropriately and teaching us how to say various phrases like ‘cheers’
or ‘let’s eat’ in different languages. He injected some liveliness into the
dining experience in a way that a projected animation can’t quite do, as hard
as it may try.
I can say with confidence that it was an enjoyable
dinner, though I do wish I was able to eat a little slower and savour the food
more. Alas, the other diners were fast eaters, and I couldn’t have the entire
room waiting for me.
If you’re interested
in experiencing Le Petit Chef’s journey for yourself, do make sure you arrive
on time. Several patrons arrived late due to the weather and traffic, and they
missed the starters, but the show had to go on as there was no rewinding of the
animation.
Hours: Two sessions daily (excluding Mondays) at 7 PM
and 9 PM, with an additional 5 PM session only on Fridays and Saturdays.

Calia Hype Aside, Here’s Our Real Raw Review Of Their Casual Food With A Premium Touch

Now that we’re in RMCO, we would think that most new businesses would remain in a ‘just-wait-and-see’ approach when it comes to operations.
Some FNBs are struggling to just keep their doors open and some are thriving in the situation—especially fast-food joints.
But one unexpected restaurant, Calia, which hails from Melbourne, Australia, had opened up its very first international outlet in Malaysia just last month.
A Heavily Japanese Inspired Menu

The Calia menu is designed by Francisco Javier Araya, a Michelin star chef who was inspired by Spanish, Chilean, Japanese and Chinese cuisine.
Most notable on the menu, however, are the Japanese inspired dishes. As one of the new hottest places in KL, everyone is unsurprisingly raving plenty about their dishes on social media.

But you are after all going to be paying premium prices for high-end dishes, so we’re gonna keep our review here true and honest.
Sake Butter Clams (RM28) with Umami Fries (RM15)
The Umami Fries were cooked to a perfect crisp. As with their namesake, umami is present in seaweed, so essentially this is just salted seaweed fries.

The Sake Butter Clams had a great broth that was buttery smooth and the sake taste was mellow. On a cold and rainy day, this would absolutely be the comforting dish that you’d want to be slurping on.
Baked Scallops (RM33)
The Baked Scallop looked like a decently sized dish, even though there were only a pair. One of my colleagues, however, lamented that the scallop meat itself did taste a little overcooked to her.
The Miso sauce was a little divisive too. Was it savoury, creamy, and tasty on its own? Yes. Did we wish we could have the natural flavours of the beautiful scallop shine through without having to battle with the sauce? Also yes.
Very
Satisfying Main Entrees
One dish stood out compared to the rest in the menu, and it was the Nasi Lemak Donburi.
Nasi Lemak Donburi (RM28)
This dish is unique to Calia Malaysia, and it’s clear it’s meant to cater to our local tastebuds. The menu describes it as a dish with coconut flavoured Japanese rice topped with Chicken Karaage, Japanese anchovy sambal, a 63° egg and other toppings found commonly on Japanese dishes.
Our immediate thought was to pop the egg and Boomerang the runny yolk for Instagram, but the egg wasn’t what we assumed it to be.
In the egg’s defence, a 63° egg can be interpreted differently in different establishments, and the Calia version runs more on the creamy side instead of flowy.
This was my favourite dish of the day but another colleague felt that the Malaysian elements of sambal did not mesh well with the Japanese gingers and seaweed. For the rest of us, it actually ranked very high on the “we would order this again” list, mainly because it felt like a full, proper meal with good value for money and taste.

We were quite excited when the Aburi Salmon arrived on our table despite it being a rather familiar dish. It’s a bit of a cliché to call a piece of meat “melt-in-your-mouth”, but we’re going to do that here for the salmon because that’s what it did.
It was very well cooked, nowhere reaching the dry, demotivating flakiness that overcooked salmon unfortunately has. Calia’s Japanese inclinations also shone here, with the rice being well-flavoured with vinegar and a perfect complement to the salmon.
Don’t let the unassuming looks of the Truffle Chicken fool you. It may not look as extravagant as the earlier dishes, but after the first taste, I was hooked.
Truffle Chicken (RM33)
You might not care that the truffle is more of an aftertaste rather than a party in your mouth because the chicken itself is tender, moist and very well seasoned.
I also highly recommend adding on the tartness of the Yuzu Kosho (Calia’s housemade wasabi) served on the side with your mouthfuls of chicken for the best flavour experience.
The Ones That Fell Short Of Our Expectations
One dish that could be polarising was the Calia Wagyu Bowl with 63° egg.
Calia Wagyu Bowl with 63° egg, (RM78 with Australian Full Blood Wagyu, RM128 with Premium Air Flown A5 Japanese Wagyu)
Now proper carnivores and meat lovers would know that a really good cut of well seasoned marbled steak would taste really good on its own, without the heavy addition of any sweet sauce or gravy.
When it comes to wagyu meat, the meat itself is more than capable of delivering in terms of texture and flavour. Calia’s version, however, is rather heavy-handed with their signature sauce, and due to its sweetness, the natural taste of the wagyu was easily lost.
Perhaps what would have worked better is if the sauce had been drizzled a little more off to the side and not directly over the meat. Alternatively, it could be served in a separate side plate for each diner to dip in, to their own liking.
Saikyo New Zealand Lamb Rack (RM68)
Another dish that we found would be better without its sauce is the Saikyo New Zealand Lamb Rack.
The lamb itself was juicy and tender. No complaints there. The pumpkin puree and balsamic vinegar sauce were also tasty, but somehow their combination with the meat just wasn’t hitting the right notes for us.
Like the wagyu, we felt the lamb was good enough to stand on its own, without needing to rely on heavy sauces to be enjoyed. Or maybe it required a different pairing.
Drinks That Are Cuter Than Me
For drinks, we tried the Rose Latte, Matcha Latte, and Mörk Iced Chocolate.
Mörk Iced Chocolate (RM16) and the Rose Latte (RM18)
Served in their own cat-paw cup, actual organic rose petals were used in the creation of the Rose Latte for the aroma, but they used rose syrup too for a little more flavour and sweetness.
I enjoyed it a lot, but those with more discerning taste buds might find that it tastes a bit more artificial due to the rose syrup. One of us said that it reminded her of a Bandung drink.
Matcha Latte (RM15)
The Matcha Latte stole the show when it comes to drinks. The matcha was quite kaw, so if you’re one to like strong matcha flavours, this will be right up your alley.
Speaking of kaw, the Mörk Iced Chocolate falls on the lighter side of that spectrum, so it’s more like chocolate milk. If you like your chocolate drinks thick and made with actual melted down chocolate, this wouldn’t be recommended.
Saving
The Best For Last
Of course, we saved some space for dessert, so we ordered their Brown Sugar Boba Cake and Matcha Lava Lava.
Brown Sugar Boba Cake (RM18)
The Brown Sugar Boba Cake came with a helping of boba pearls which were rather soft and not very chewy. If you’re a true boba fan, you might want to skip the pearls.
The sponge cake itself was very bouncy and airy, and the cream on top was mild. It’s a classic combo for boba cakes, and it works very well here for Calia’s rendition of it too.
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
As for the Matcha Lava Lava, we realised the lava mentioned twice in its name is completely justified. A generous thick helping of warm matcha ganache flowed out once the cake was cut.
We can only think of one reason why you wouldn’t love the Matcha Lava Lava: if you don’t enjoy the bitterness of matcha.
Other than that, it’s a definite crowd-pleaser and another dish that most of us would return just to eat again. One of us even confidently claimed that this is the best matcha lava cake that she’s ever eaten.
Final Thoughts
It’s safe to say that we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Calia.
While some dishes did fall short when it came to personal tastes, the 4 of us had at least one dish that we’d order (and pay for) if we stopped by Calia again.
For me, it was the Nasi Lemak Donburi and the same went for one of my colleagues, while another chose the Aburi Salmon.
Our fourth colleague found hers to be a tie between the Matcha Lava Lava and Sake Butter Clams.
An adorable cup that’ll make any regular drink seem better
The Calia experience isn’t just about sitting and dining there. Walking into the restaurant, you’re greeted with a selection of goodies ranging from Calia’s very own cup designs, kitchenware and a selection of spices and sauces.
Gold pepper, anyone?
So if you’d like to replicate that touch of Calia luxury at home, you can bring home some souvenirs to grace your own kitchen or to cook with.

Biscoff Cookies from bttrbakes (September 2020)

We were a little bit more cautious approaching this version of Biscoff cookie (RM35 for 5, RM65 for 12), because we already figured in our heads that a Biscoff stuffed cookie is mostly cookie filling inside another cookie. That concept in itself is probably not to our liking already.
BUT we decided to give this cookie type another try, thus ordering from @btterbakes. And guess what, we were pleasantly surprised!
We were given caution beforehand that these cookies aren’t meant to be “gooey” or “oozy” on the insides so that helped to set expectations. But in the end it didn’t matter, because the taste of the speculoos were just right, and there were small melty chunks in between the choc chips too!
After breaking one of the biscoff cookies into half. Look at the generous choc chip to cookie ratio too!
We tried them heated up as well, upon the baker’s recommendation, and we found that the end result was just a bit dry so maybe that isn’t absolutely necessary.
The cookie itself was also very much to our personal tastes in terms of sweetness and also texture. It was the right mix of chewy and crispy, without heading into cakey/brownie territory. There’s a nice crust on the bottom too, which gives it a further textural thumbs up.
Biscoff cookies from btterbakes
According to the baker, each cookie is 80g, we don’t know how that compares in weight with other cookies but in terms of choc chip quantity and cookie size, they do seem to be good for value.
Overall, this cookie did help to redeem the “biscoff cookie” concept for us. Which is as well, seeing as the month if September is almost ending, and with it soon, our biscoff hunt.

Ever wonder what it is like to stay near an orchard (And no, a hotel in Orchard Road, Singapore doesn’t count)? Now you don’t have to wonder anymore.
Located on the edge of a tropical forest, The Dusun is an orchard resort that honours sustainable development in farming and building. The business only hires from nearby kampungs, small entrepreneurs and responsible businesses. It’s only an hour away from KL but it sure feels worlds apart.

Built mostly from recycled Shorea timber (that’s how they got the name), the villas are set on natural terrains with path leading to a jungle stream and a waterfall within the Berembun Forest Reserve.

Forget Ikea's Meatballs, This KL Restaurant Serves Legit SATAY Meatballs! :O

Ever heard of satay meatballs?
Neither have we!
The concept seems pretty well-thought out though. Considering how meatballs can mimic the formation of satay meat on a stick, it makes complete sense to have satay meatballs on a stick (plus, they’re a whole lot larger in size too)!
Image Credit: Grain
And they aren’t your typical meatballs either. Served at Grain restaurant in Damansara Perdana, the meatballs have a crispy exterior and a juicy inside, coupled with a flavourful sauce that’ll leave you craving for more.
Is this the whole crispy rendang issue again? You can be the judge. 😛

Priced at RM11.30, the dish consists of skewered minced chicken, chives, onions, chilli tomato and worschestershire sauce.
Craving for some Asian classics instead?
There’s the White Fish Egg Noodle which comes with a fish of the day, egg noodles, kai lan, basil, leeks and chilies in an 8-hour slowcooked duck broth. This dish is priced at RM17.5.
Just for the fact that it has been slowcooked for 8 hours (intense flavour alert!), it’s worth a try.
Image Credit: Grain
One of Grain’s most popular dishes is the Chili Bean Paste Chicken, which is priced at RM13.70. If you’re a fan of spicy meals, this one’s for you. The dish is made of a chicken thigh, spring onions, onions and red capsicum with chili bean paste.
Arguably one of the more quirky, out-there dishes is the pairing of savoury protein with fruits.
Enter Grain’s very own Salt and Pepper Prawn with Blueberries dish. It is battered prawn, salt, pepper, spring onions, chilies and blueberries. This dish is priced at RM27.40.
Image Credit: Grain
For non-meat eaters, there are vegetarian options available on the menu as well, such as Modernised Fruit Rojak and Omelette.
Sharing a space with Grain is Fest, which specialises in good coffee and desserts. One of its most well-known introductions is the fluffy and crazy indulgent tau fu fah cheesecake.
Image Credit: Fest
Pair it with your coffee of choice and you’re good to go!
It’s great that Grain and Fest are situated right next to each other. That way, you can opt to indulge in your dessert of choice, right after you’ve had your main meal.

Fulfill Your Buritto Cravings At This Mexican-Style Burrito Bar In Subang

Hidden along a row of shoplots in the quieter Taipan Business area of Subang Jaya, one might not realise that there’s even a burrito bar around the corner.

Where most of the popular restaurants and eateries are situated in the main Taipan block just a stone’s throw away, the Taipan Business area is filled with more office buildings.
Hence, it was a pleasant surprise to stumble upon the brightly lit Mezcla Burrito Bar.

This hidden gem serves none other than burritos but that’s not its only offering. You will find quesadillas, tacos, burrito bowls, nachos, hot chicken wings, and for desserts: fudgy Oreo and strawberry brownies.

For those who are searching for a decent Mexican joint to hit up, Mezcla is worth checking out.

A twist that they’ve added to the menu includes the avocado fries, which is basically avocado coated in a thick batter and dipped into hot oil.

You can order Mezcla’s offerings for takeaway on FoodPanda or get them freshly made at Mezcla, much like how it works at a restaurant like Subway.

In its short few months of opening, Mezcla has earned rave reviews from Mexican food lovers, sharing that the burritos and tacos are must-tries. One customer has even returned to Mezcla on many different occasions to try almost every dish on the menu.

Best part is, you can stand a chance to win an epic McNugget Party! The top 10 GrabFood users with the most McDonald’s orders during the time period will win a McNugget Party consisting of 336 pieces of Chicken McNuggets!

Talk about ending CNY with a bang!
