Softsrve Launches Their 6th Outlet At The Newly Opened MyTown Shopping Centre In KL

Softsrve has officially launched their 6th outlet in Malaysia and it is located at the newly opened MyTown Shopping Centre. There has been much hype as of late, about the new mall which has found its home in Cheras. Alongside Softsrve, other big brands will be opening in the mall, inclusive of Laneige, Pull & Bear and H&M.

This Softsrve store is going to be the brand’s second outlet for Softsrve Mini. Softrve Mini operates by a different concept wherein every month, they will be presenting 4 new rotational flavours. They shared on their Facebook page how this means that customers can get an ice cream cone with a four flavour twist, on top of getting to top the dessert with their favourite toppings. In other words, we can finally create our dream ice cream.

On top of that, for the first time ever, Softsrve will also be collaborating with Chinese herbal jelly brand, Koong Woh Tong. The saying of ‘old meets new’ is accurate for Softsrve as both ice cream and herbal jelly brand will be exchanging ideas, wisdom and new things. Who knows? They might even come up with an idea for a herbal jelly soft serve!

In conjunction with the opening of their new store, Softsrve will be giving away 100 soft serves with one option of a topping. This is applicable to the first 100 customers on March 25th. Be there from 12pm onwards and don’t say we didn’t jio you for this!

Softsrve Mini Free Ice Cream Giveaway

This Printing Store In Taman Connaught Serves Waffle Pizzas & Rose Fruit Desserts

University and college students may often face the conundrum of wondering where to get their notes printed out during their lunch break.
Image Credit: Craft Cafe
At times, the only free slot that a student may have to do so is during their lunch break. Therefore, it’s pretty apt that a new café popped up in Taman Connaught recently and it basically helps students kill two birds with one stone.
Image Credit: Craft Cafe
Craft Café is a café meet printing shop and it is located beside Taman Connaught’s Maybank outlet. This eatery opened their doors on the last day of October 2016.
Image Credit: Craft Cafe
What’s unique about them is the fact that you can get printing done while you dine.
Image Credit: Craft Café
They specialise in local and Western cuisine alike. Craft has a myriad of dishes here including creamy salted egg yolk pasta and big breakfasts.
Image Credit: Craft Café
A unique dish to try at Craft Café is their Beauty and the Beast dish. It is in fact a waffle pizza. Wherein typical pizzas would be made out of dough, Craft’s version features a thick layer of crispy pizza which has been browned nicely. It is further topped off with cheese and chicken pepperoni. The finishing touch is the cheesy mayo sauce.

As for desserts, Craft Café unleashes their creativity with “rose” fruit waffles. These waffles may appear plain on their own but with the addition of these “rose” fruits, it becomes a hearty meal which is both colourful and nutritious at the same time. Not to mention, there is also a good serving of vanilla ice cream served with this dish for a tiny done of sinful goodness.
Image Credit: Craft Cafe
Image Credit: Craft Café
One of Craft’s signature drinks is their classic combination of coffee and milk. It is done in the form of frozen cubes of espresso which is added with some chilled milk. When the frozen ice cubes melt away gradually, they give the drink a slightly bitter taste but the milk complements it well. This gives it the perfect balance of bitter and sweet and it is luxury with every sip.

The Next Time You’re At The Airport, Kill Time The Classy Way At KLIA2’s Atas Bar

Some people get a bit antsy before flying and what better way to get the edge off than to knock back a couple of cocktails? There’s no need to overdo it and get totally smashed, but one or two cocktails can help with pre-flight nerves.
Bar Metropole is a classy, brightly lit bar in KLIA2’s international departure area on the way to gates P and Q. If you’re early enough for your flight, it’s a nice place to chill out at. Wifi is available here, which is great for travellers.

The drinks are pretty decent too. I tried the Grey Goose le Fizz (cocktails are RM31.80 each) one Tuesday morning (don’t judge, I had pre-flight jitters!) before my flight to Singapore. The Grey Goose le Fizz is made with Grey Goose vodka, St Germain elderflower liqueur, lime and soda water. What first drew me in was the elderflower liqueur since I love everything elderflower. I was so glad I went with this drink because it was very light and pleasant.

I also had a Bellini which is made with peach and Martini Prosecco. This drink is a lot fizzier than the le Fizz, to be honest. It is also a lot sweeter, but Bellinis are known to be sweet and popular among women. I can’t really imagine a guy sipping on this, though – no gender discrimination intended. I myself felt that it was a little too girly for me.

Well, now I have a good reason to be early for my international flights at KLIA2…

To Eat Or Not To Eat: A Milo-Crusted Chicken Chop With A Side Of Belacan

Milo, Cheese and Twisties were every ’90s kid’s canteen snack starter pack. And we’re sure you’ve enjoyed your fair share of curry or cheese-flavoured snacks while sipping on some Milo Ais.
At Cheese Banjir, every dish on their menu is curated by their chef and co-founder, Mamu to induce feelings of nostalgia with every bite. Their Cheese Banjir, Milo and Twisties dishes were all created by this engineer-turned-chef.

They truly take pride in their Milo or Twisties-crusted chicken served with a side of chocolate sauce and belacan. Plus, they aim to introduce more items on their menu with a ’90s kid nostalgia twist.
Here’s what we think of it:
1. Chicken Chop Milo Earthquake (Ayamilo)
Chicken Chop Milo Earthquake (RM27)
Served with a side of carbonara pasta, salad, mashed potatoes and fries, this chicken chop is encased in a Milo crust.
It’s essentially a breaded deep fried chicken cutlet tossed in Milo.

On first thought, it might seem like a really odd combination, but it oddly works. Especially when dipped in their savoury belacan and sweet Milo sauce.
Yes you heard us right. We liked it, though there were a few dissenters in the team who thought it was too odd to be true.
2. Chicken Popcorn Milo Platter
Chicken Popcorn Milo Platter (RM19)
Their popcorn platter is a great option for sharing between a few people who are intrigued by the combination of Milo and belacan too!
Deep fried popcorn chicken pieces coated in Milo, it’s like a Milo Nugget except with chicken meat on the inside.
We’d strongly advice you to enjoy these 2 Milo dishes while they’re warm as the Milo tends to harden up quickly once it’s cold.
3. Chicken Chop Twisties
Chicken Chop Twisties (RM27)
Deep fried breaded chicken chop coated with Twisties, this is probably the tamest of the 2 chicken chops we had.
Equally as huge in portion, this dish is served with Twisties, carbonara pasta, a side salad and mashed potatoes.
Y’all who were cringing at the thought of Milo and belacan can sigh in relief as this dish comes with a side of black pepper sauce.
We love how the different flavours of this dish were used to balance each other out—the milkiness of the carbonara tames the spiciness of the Twisties. Plus, it provides a softer, smoother texture to the crispy chicken and chips.
4. Chicken Fire Ball Twisties
Chicken Fire Ball Twisties (RM19)
These balls are not your regular balls. Made in-house, they’re minced chicken tossed with spices and cheese, rolled, breaded and deep fried for a ball of a time.
Served on a bed of Twisties with a generous bowl of cheese sauce, this is one indulgent side (or main if you’re not super hungry) to have with your Milo Chicken.

And they truly do not stinge on their cheese and quality of meat as seen above.
We love how flavourful and juicy the meatballs were together with the extra cheesiness from the cheese sauce.
 5. Cheese Misai Milo Kaw
Cheese Misai Milo Kaw (RM16)
If you need EVEN MORE Cheese and Milo goodness, their Cheese Misai Milo Kaw is sure to satisfy that craving.
The sweetness of the chocolate malt from the Milo topped with their special blend of cream cheese and cheddar swirls in a sweet and savoury tango.
They’ve also got other cheese drink combinations such as mango, watermelon, Bandung and Nescafe if that floats your boat instead.
“Milo-key” love this combination
At the end of the meal, we were really stuffed and full of excitement. It was like the little kid in all of us were truly amused by their unique culinary combinations of Milo and Belacan or deep fried chicken with Twisties crumbs.
Although the flavours would be an acquired taste, it’s kind of like combining the flavours of when you’re eating your Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng while drinking Milo at a mamak.
Nevertheless, Cheese Banjir is definitely worth a visit for the adventurous foodies.

[DKL Gets Personal] Mashad Pino And Mutiara Pino Of Livello Uno

Livello Uno is not just your ordinary eatery with a cool name. Their cuisine falls into the bracket of classic and comforting Italian meals which brings a taste of Italy to KL. In fact, you don’t even have to travel far to satisfy your Italian meal cravings. Just head on over to this restaurant in TTDI to sample it.
The business is conceived by a brother-and-sister team known as Mashad Pino and Mutiara Pino, and Discover KL recently caught up with the founders of Livello Uno as they share about how they got into the business, which are their personal recommendations off the menu, and much more.
Image Credit: Livello Uno
1) What is your backstory before getting into the business?
Mutiara Pino (MP): Mashad has always worked in the food and beverage industry. Before setting up his own business, he has set up a few restaurants such as Feeka Coffee Roasters in KL and Hit & Mrs in Bangsar. Prior to that, he worked overseas in some Michelin restaurants, hotels and resort destinations. When it comes to me, I have always been in corporate. I had just left a job and was not sure what to do when the opportunity for this project came along. I couldn’t say no!
2) Why did you start this business?
MP: We both had the same vision of promoting authentic Italian food where you get almost the same kind of tastes and flavours you would when having a meal in Italy, specially cooked by your grandma. Pure passion was what ignited this project.
Image Credit: Vkeong
Image Credit: Livello Uno
3) What are your best and worst moments throughout the business?
MP: The best moment was when our father brought some Italian friends over, and they happened to be visiting Kuala Lumpur. They gave us a thumbs up and also mentioned that our tiramisu is a world class dish. Meanwhile, the worst thing would be during our first week of business when there was a power failure right in the middle of a dinner service. Unfortunately, we had to close shop and apologise to all our customers.
4) Which meal would you recommend to your customers?
MP: Spaghetti Marinara and Tiramisu.
Image Credit: Livello Uno
Image Credit: Livello Uno
5) If you were to rate your business between 1 to 5, what number would it be?
MP: 6, because of the ingredients we use. There is no substitute for extra virgin olive oil nor is there any compromise on our fresh produce. Everything is carefully checked and selected by the chef. We can bring you to Italy even when you are in Kuala Lumpur.
6) Choose one dish from your restaurant that you wouldn’t mind eating for the rest of your life.
MP: Tiramisu, because of its perfect balance between the light, airy, creamy mascarpone between layers of lady finger biscuits dipped in arabica coffee. It’s the perfect balance!
7) What are you looking forward to for Livello Uno?
MP: The big dream for this business is that by the 3rd year, we could expand the outlet and our range of self-made products like Pino’s Tomato Sauce as well.

Steaks At This Kedai Tepi Jalan In KL Are Actually Prepared Sous Vide!

Steak lovers would have their tummies rumbling as soon as they enter Stiq, a new roadside stall in KL that focuses on presenting steaks and more at affordable prices.
How exactly do they keep prices low?

Zul of Stiq shared with DiscoverKL, “We manage to keep our steaks at affordable prices because there is less labour cost as there are no waiters and everything is self service, hence there’s no need for service charge.”

On top of that, cost is kept low because they are fortunate to rent a place which charges reasonably, doing away with expensive utility bills as well.
With this, although there is less margin for profit, Stiq is able to make up for it in terms of sales volume.

And unlike other steak places in KL, meals here are prepared sous vide-style. Proteins are basically vacuum sealed prior to cooking in a temperature-controlled water bath.
Sous vide is a style of cooking that isn’t quite as common in Malaysian restaurants but by opting to give it a go, Stiq manages to bring forth steaks that are tender and good enough on its own, sans sauce.

These aren’t just our own personal claims, considering how several past guests have raved about Stiq’s sous vide steaks too.
After being cooked in a temperature-controlled water bath, the steaks are then further cooked over the flame.
Seeing how Stiq is your average mamak-style eatery, it’s amazing what they’re offering to guests and the price that accompanies it too. For instance, prices start at RM16 and a lamb shank is only RM40.

And it’s not just servings of protein on its own. It’s also paired with potato and green salad as well as a free drink.
If lamb steaks and wagyu steaks are not up your alley, Stiq offers chicken and beef on the menu too.

Most of Stiq’s meals are prepared with much dedication as they require a long prep time—the lamb shanks are slow cooked for 24 hours and beef bone ribs are slow cooked for 30 hours.

Zul’s personal recommendation is the Grass Fed Striploin Sous Vide and the Beef Stiq if you’re looking for beef dishes. If you’re here for lamb, the Sous Vide Lamb Shank (prepared sous vide for 22 hours) and the Sous Vide Lamb Stiq (prepared sous vide 22 hours) are the ones you should opt for.

Chicken fans, on the other hand, should give Stiq’s version of the Peri Peri Chicken (prepared sous vide for 12 hours) a go.

Hold Up, We Might Have Just Found The Cheesiest Roti John In KL! :O

PJ-ians would likely be familiar with the famed Roti John Cheese Sekilo in Seksyen 19.
The stall has been around for 3 years and achieved virality some time back when netizens featured their cheesy Roti Johns on social media.
Needless to say, it didn’t take long for just about everybody to find out about Roti John Cheese Sekilo.
Folks even come all the way from East Malaysia just to try the famed dish.

Nowadays, the stall sees an average sale of 150 Roti Johns a day. While there might be a queue at peak hours, folks are still willing to wait for the ooey gooey Roti John.
Here, you can opt for 3 different types of sets, all of which are priced at RM15 each.
There’s chicken, beef and a combination of both meats.
For sauces, go crazy with their cheese, mayonnaise and chilli. The best way to enjoy the cheese Roti John is by combining all 3.

For those with a smaller appetite, go for the mini version instead at RM8.50.
Roti John Cheese Sekilo’s prices are pretty steep but past guests have mentioned how the dish is big enough for sharing amongst 3-4 people. Loaded with cheese, it’s also a pretty hearty dish that you likely would not be able to finish on your own in one sitting.
If you’re planning to head here, just key in Roti John Cheese Sekilo on your Waze or Google Maps app.

You Haven't Had Authentic Italian Food Until You Dine In Via Pre Kuala Lumpur

There’s just something about Italian food and people in general, in which they take the dining experience very seriously and hardly give themselves any room for error.
Italian eateries are aplenty in Malaysia, but Via Pre breaks tradition by being situated in the quiet neighbourhood of Lorong Setiabistari, KL.

Even though Via Pre is only 4 months old in KL, they marked their opening in Penang way back in 2012, when brothers Maurizio and Massimiliano Ranauro moved from Biella, Italy to call Malaysia their home.

There were no Italian restaurants on the island at the time and the brothers found it apt to rent a quaint spot to house the Italian classic recipes that they’ve inherited from the women in the Ranauro family.

Maurizio, fondly known as Maury, is the manager of Via Pre and he shared how Via Pre is a street in Genova and it overlooks the harbour. The Penang outlet originally got its name as it overlooks the harbour as well, and it reminded the brothers of a familiar place, close to home.

Fast forward to 2016, Via Pre has opened their second outlet in Kuala Lumpur and where the Penang outlet offers more of a fine dining experience, the KL branch provides a chilled out and casual vibe that we were to keen to check out.

The Discover KL team recently enjoyed a 6-course dining experience at Via Pre Kul and to kick things off, we were served a bread basket featuring slices of bread which appeared to be freshly out of the oven.
They weren’t dry nor were they hard. In fact, it was the perfect base to dip into the extra virgin olive oil sauce, and the balsamic vinegar it came with also gave it a nice kick.

For our first course starter, we had the bresaola (RM29), which consists of air dried beef loin slices on fresh mozzarella, coupled with mushroom pickles, extra virgin olive oil and fine balsamic sauce.

When the dish was placed on the table, it was immediately ravished and for a pretty valid reason. The thin slices of beef loin was further complimented by the mozzarella and it wasn’t too savoury either. The rockets also gave it a hint of bitterness and crunch.

The vitello tonnatto (RM26) is a classic Piemontese antipasto covered roasted veal in tuna and capers mayo. What we loved about this dish was the fact that it had a chewy texture from the veal but the tuna gives it a velvety melt-in-your-mouth texture. The capers, though tiny in size, gave the dish a nice punch of flavour too.

Next was the cozze della casa (RM56) which is New Zealand fresh mussels in spicy tomato broth, condiment “marinaro” and schiacciata. Sure, this dish might sound like a mouthful, but taking a mouthful of this, we were instantly silenced.
It was fresh seafood at its best and we loved how the tangy tomatoes complimented it so well. Not only so, the dish also comes with roti, which you can dip into the sauce to savour every last drop of the condiment which although is labelled spicy, is only mildly so by Malaysian standards.

After our appetisers, we were treated to our second course of soups which further whet our appetite for the dishes to come. The pumpkin soup (RM21) comprised of carrots, orange and pumpkin soup topped with half dry tomatoes, pecorino and pesto.
It was a rich broth and the carrot and orange taste is not very strong though the pumpkin flavour is certainly the prominent note in this soup. It has to be said though that the pecorino cheese has a strong distinct taste which might be slightly overwhelming to non-cheese lovers.
Fret not though, for the pecorino flakes are merely the topping for this dish and it does not overpower the flavour of the pumpkin. Cheese lovers though would be able to appreciate Via Pre’s inclusion of cheese into this dish because it makes it more wholesome and filling at the same time.
The la zuppa di funghi (RM22) is a light leek and mushroom cream with chunky mushroom and parmesan rosemary crackers. This soup was a clear winner at our table. For those who prefer their soup to be less creamy, so that it doesn’t interfere with the mushroomy taste, then this soup delivers just that.

The attentive waiters cleared our dishes as next came our third course. We welcomed our pasta dishes with grumbling tummies and was instantly smitten with the gamberi and pesto dish (RM36).
It is linguine, Genovese basil pesto, sea-catch prawns and brandy’s flambéed. The smell itself was divine and we were delighted to find that the pasta was nicely al dente too. The prawns were big and juicy. Plus despite how pestos tend to be oily, this dish was surprisingly not so.

The aglio olio with broccoli and sausages (RM32) featured wholewheat pasta, broccoli, duck sausages, garlic and chilli. Being a big fan of aglio olio myself, I enjoyed how the dish was not too oily and tasted strongly of garlic, which to me, is a good thing as I fancied the flavours. The duck was tender and had a peppery taste to it and it complimented the pasta perfectly.

The ragu vitello (RM32) features pappardelle pasta with veal tomato ragu, porcini mushroom and grana padano cheese in extra virgin olive oil. What’s surprising about this dish is how wholesome it is. It reminds one of going home to have a homecooked meal specially prepared by our mother.
Unsurprisingly, Maury shared how most of Via Pre’s recipes are curated from home itself, with his mother and grandmother’s recipes being cleverly sneaked into the menu. Massimiliano, who plays the role of executive chef is also responsible for some of the recipes seen on the Via Pre menu. Hence, it’s safe to say that their meal ideas are all within the family.

The ragu vitello was creamy and the veal tomato tastes almost like minced meat. It has a soft texture layered with flavours of tomato. The ragu vitello on the other hand, was a great choice of pasta for this particular dish as it has a larger surface area and wraps nicely around the veal, much like another Malaysian dish known as pan mee.

As the waiters cleared our soup bowls away, we cleansed our palates with some drinks. We were served some alcoholic spritz (RM27) which is a Prosecco (Italian white wine) with Aperol (Italian soda), soda and an orange slice. This drink had a slightly bitter taste to it, but the citrus flavour compliments it well. As our dishes were slightly on the savoury end, the drink enhanced our taste buds for the meals to come.
We also had a chance to sample the Campari grapefruit which is in fact Via Pre’s own aperitivo with a squeeze of grapefruit and prosecco. Now this drink was an acquired taste. Also contains alcohol, by the way.
While some of us would have preferred the drink to be slightly sweeter, I enjoyed how the taste of the grapefruit stood out. As grapefruits are naturally on the bitter-sour end, it tasted authentic and refreshing to me.

Finally, our fourth course of pizzas arrived fresh and warm from the oven. We first tried the buffalina (RM36) which is buffalo mozzarella, pizza sauce, cecina beef prosciutto, rocket salad, parmigiana and extra virgin olive oil.

The beef was cut into thin slices and it was a rich dish when coupled with the buffalo mozzarella. It certainly reminded us of our earlier starter which was the bresaola. This time though, the beef prosciutto was slightly richer and rightfully so as the pizza has cheese in it and the cheese should not be overpowering the beef, which is the star of the dish.

The salsiccia and funghi (RM36) is a pizza with duck sausages, mushroom, tomato, mozzarella and pizza sauce. The duck sausages was something unique and not many of us has had duck served this way before. It certainly gave the pizza a tender piece of protein that left us wanting for more.

Our third pizza was my personal favourite and I had to restrain myself from going for thirds and fourths. It is the pizza vegetarian which is a pizza with tomato sauce, mozzarella and mix vegetable toppings. What vegetable toppings you might ask? It is an assortment of bell peppers and olives. It added a little crunch to the dish and was a colourful sight indeed.
Despite being a vegetarian pizza which some may deem boring, it was certainly not so as it gained nods of approval from around the table as we devoured it with resounding “Mmmm’s”.
We were nearing the end of our gastronomical adventure and we have yet to even sample our fifth course which consisted of roasted fish (RM56) and Australian lamb rack (RM79).

Maury was kind enough to explain to us that the fish is in fact a King Fish imported from New Zealand, as many other ingredients in Via Pre are too imported from across the globe, be it Australia or Italy.
The fresh fish was pan roasted with broccoli, potatoes, olives and tomatoes. The vegetables had a buttery taste to it and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it even melts in my mouth like cream.
The fish itself was slightly harder than most of the other fish dishes that Malaysians may be used to, but that is not a bad thing. One would find that it has a nice chewy texture to it and best of all, you’d be able to taste just how fresh it is, with each bite.

The Australian lamb rack is one of Maury’s personal favourite and it is on his recommendation list when paying Via Pre a visit. The meat was done medium, and it’s surprisingly tender. It was incredibly juicy and is topped with a layer of cheese and eggplant. It tastes great when coupled with the sauce which was slightly spicy. Maury shared that this specific dish is a notable recipe from his own grandmother, back in Biella, Italy.

We also had a surprise dish which was the Canadian Live lobster with spaghetti pasta in brandy tomato sauce and chilli. The lobster was meaty and it’s nice to finally be able to sample lobsters which are fleshy because not many restaurants serve lobsters which have a proper amount of meat.

It was a treat to be able to eat the Canadian lobsters which has been imported and kept in ice to maintain its freshness until cooking time.

Finally, our sixth and final course was served and what else would it be but desserts? Certainly the group of us saved a little space in our already full tummies for the 4 desserts we were about to have.

First was the il tiramisu (RM22) which is a classic espresso and marsala creamy mascarpone. The dish was rich and the coffee taste was not overpowering. The sponge layer added some texture to the dish and it was soft and tasted like clouds, which was apt as it took us to cloud 9 for sure.

The frutti di bosco and mascarpone (RM25) was my personal favourite for a very valid reason. I do not like my desserts to be extremely sweet, and most Malaysian desserts are as such, but this Italian one was more on the sour, tangy end. The berries are the ingredients that helped to add the tanginess to the dessert and when coupled with the creamy mascarpone and the bittersweet grappa infused savoiardi, was a delight.

Our crème brulee (RM19) was made with sour lime and the vanilla was covered with caramelised brown sugar. We could also choose to have it alcohol flambéed or otherwise. We chose to have it without the alcohol flambée and the best part was the fact that it was not too sweet at all due to the tinge of sourness from the lime. It definitely is not your conventional crème brulee, that’s for sure!

Last, but definitely not least was the panna cotta frutta (RM21) which comes with balsamic berries and a low sugar and cream panna cota with real Madagascar vanilla. It has such a smooth texture that melts in the mouth and the berries cut through the sweetness of the panna cotta nicely, giving it a tangy, soft jelly texture.
Completing our six-course meal, we were left feeling full but satisfied and perhaps it was due to the fact that Via Pre prides itself on serving only the best of ingredients. In fact, their principal ingredients are imported straight from Italy.
Interestingly, a principle that Via Pre goes by is to maintain their standard of quality at all cost. Maury noted, “When I notice that some ingredients are finished, I would prefer to tell the customers that the particular dish which utilises that ingredient is not available. Perhaps the customer has travelled all the way just to sample the dish and I would rather say that it is not available than to switch the ingredients out with something of lesser quality.”

He continued: “When I go to a place, I expect the dish to be exactly the same every single time. In Kuala Lumpur, there are so many Italian restaurants, so we have to make sure that the way we cook our dishes, and the way we serve our customers is of top notch. It’s very easy to lose customers due to a small mistake so we try out best to not make the mistake.”
Where there are plenty of Italian restaurants in the area, there aren’t many that places as much emphasis on meals like how the Ranauro brothers do.
It’s clear to see that whether they are back home in Biella or right here in KL, they know that Malaysians, like their Italian counterparts, take their food very seriously and they really aren’t messing around with Via Pre’s offerings.
Via Pre’s set lunch deal is from Tuesday-Friday, 12pm-3pm, except public holidays. For RM28 nett, you can choose 1 main, 1 side dish and 1 drink. As for their happy hour deals from Tuesday-Sunday, 5.30pm-7.30pm, you can get one 2+1 deal on Carlsberg draft and house pouring Italian red and white wine by glass. Via Pre’s Christmas deal includes the antipasto (RM88+ for 2 pax, RM128+ for 4 pax), entrees (RM42-RM48+), main courses (RM98 and above) and desserts (RM16-RM22+).

[DKL REVIEWS] We Sip On Affordable Mocktails Served By This M'sian-Born Franchise

Both drinkers and non drinkers alike would identify cocktails as an alcoholic drink. And every frequent barfly would know what a mocktail is; however, sometimes those who are unfamiliar with bar drinks would mistakenly group mocktails as an alcoholic drink as well.
So for the uninitiated, mocktails are actually non-alcoholic drinks that consist of a mixture of fruit juices or flavoured sodas.

The Mocktail Bar franchise is a locally grown brand that capitalises on the halal and inclusive nature of the drinks. Currently, they serve over 25 different flavours across several categories in each outlet across the Klang Valley.

Mocktail Bar was founded by a group of local mocktail enthusiasts. The “bartenders” at each outlet who prepare the mocktails are called mixologists.
There are 8 categories to choose from—Frappé, Chocolate, Juice-Based, Tea Inspired, Fizzy, Lifestyle Coffee, Blended and Freshly Brewed. Each drink is priced anywhere between RM5.90-RM8.90.
Matcha Chocolate Cookies (left), Berries Chocolate Truffles (right)
The first drink we sampled was the Matcha Chocolate Cookies. If you’re expecting it to have a fragrant green tea taste, you will be slightly disappointed. This drink isn’t made with brewed green tea, rather matcha powder is used instead. It isn’t as rich as you might think it’d be (as most chocolate-y drinks go), but that also means that the chocolate matcha blend isn’t overly sweet—which is a good thing.
The Berries Chocolate Truffles is made from a mixed berries-puree, cocoa, Hershey’s chocolate syrup, vanilla syrup and fresh milk. The idea of a chocolate cake garnished with berries is a common one, but I’d never thought the chocolate-berry combo could be used in a drink as well. The thought of having a sourish berry taste in a chocolate drink sounds a little odd; however, fortunately it was very mild and didn’t overpower the cocoa at all.
Blue Lagoon (left), Sparkling Rosemary Limeade (right)
If you prefer drinks that are not too carbonated, you can opt to try their classic Blue Lagoon which consists of some apple and orange cubes as well as blue curacao syrup. Recall those pictures you see online of the Maldives? The myriad of blue colours is a pretty apt depiction of that. I guess the cheaper alternative of flying there would be…drinking it?
We’ve had drinks infused with mint leaves, but who would’ve thought that rosemary herbs would do well in a drink? Mocktail Bar certainly thinks so. The Sparkling Rosemary Limeade has a mix of fresh rosemary leaves, and the asam taste adds a sourish and salty twist. The verdict for this unusual concoction was very polarising, but if you don’t mind the strong rosemary hit, you may just love this.
Cuddle On The Beach (left), Green Seduction (right)
The Cuddle On The Beach drink is juice-based with cranberry juice, peaches and cherries. If you’re used to having fresh juices, this one may take some getting used to because it would easily come across as very artificial. But if you’re well acquainted with cordial drinks, you may find this a refreshing combo.
The Green Seduction drink has a Malaysian twist to it with the ever close-to-home asam boi mixed with green apple fruit juice. This was easily the crowd’s favourite in the Discover KL team despite it having simple ingredients that we could identify instantly. If it’s a hot day and you’re looking to have a thirst quencher, you can’t go wrong with this crowd pleaser.
Ice Blended Mango Lassi (left), Peanut Butter Cappuccino (right)
The Ice Blended Mango Lassi has ingredients like mango puree, mango juice, yoghurt, lime wedge and lime juice. To be honest, it was one of the more forgettable drinks, there was nothing quite special or even extravagant about it. It’s rich and flavourful (lots of mango taste and texture), but it’s just not that memorable.
Most of Mocktail Bar’s drinks are cold but fret not, there are hot beverages too and the must-try would be their Peanut Butter Cappuccino. You’d think that this will bring you back to the times of dipping your finger in the peanut butter jar (Skippy’s, anyone?), but this isn’t the case at all. There wasn’t actually any buttery taste to it, perhaps due to the cappuccino, but the roasted peanut after taste makes up for any shortcomings.

To keep their menu consistently exciting, the Mocktail Bar team comes up with new combinations of drinks every couple of months. Also, they make it a point to create awareness in the market that they strictly serve only non-alcoholic drinks so that more people can overlook the alcoholic reference that is typically associated with the word “bar”.

Here's what’s included in Maria's SteakCafe Christmas Home Delivery that's for 5 pax

With Christmas just around the corner, what better way to spend it than having a nice warm meal with your family?
However, as with any festive occasion, the biggest issue many of you would face is that most of the “atas” food places are usually packed, leaving you with little choice of where to dine at.
That said, Maria’s SteakCafe may have the answer to make planning festive meals with your family members a little less stressful with their Christmas Home Delivery Set menu for five pax that’s available until January 2, 2023.
What dishes are included in the set, and are they enough for a family of five? Fortunately, we were invited by Maria’s SteakCafe for a little taste test. Here’s our verdict.

Before we get into it, here’s what each set entails. There are four sets to choose from, which includes the Roast Lamb Set (RM860), Tomahawk Grilled Wagyu Rib Steak set (RM1,580), as well as the Beef Wellington with (RM1,090), and without Foie Gras (RM860).
The sets come with a serving of caesar salad, which consists of fresh lettuce, beef bacon, croutons, walnuts, and shaved cheddar cheese, which helps get the salivary glands prepped ready for the next dish, the roasted potatoes.

The potatoes were quite fragrant because it was coated with just the right balance of herbs and seasoning.
Next, and arguably my favourite among all the dishes, was the Creamed Spinach with a hint of parmesan cheese. I liked how I could feel its creamy texture with a hint of cheese, and each bite I took warmed me up inside.

There’s also the Spaghetti Chicken Bolognese. I like how Maria’s SteakCafe was not stingy with their sauces, and I could see that every single spaghetti strand was coated with Bolognese sauce.
As for the main course, we got a chance to try each of the meat and found that among the four, we liked the Beef Wellington and the Tomahawk the most.

The lamb was not bad too, but we felt that the taste did not leave an impression on us compared to the other two.
To finish things off, we had a lovely serving of the zesty Lemon Loaf, which was both tasty, refreshing, and we felt that it was the right dish to end our meal with.

Overall, we felt that portion was quite big and definitely more than enough to feed up to five people. To put things into perspective, our table, which had four diners, including ourselves, could not finish any of the dishes that were served to us.
In fact, if you keep the leftovers in the refrigerator, they’ll probably be enough to feed you the next day.
If you’re looking only to get their meat to complement the dishes you’ve already cooked up at home, you can also order their Christmas Gift menu, where you can get the Beef Wellington (from RM340), Roast Lamb (RM660), and Tomahawk (RM1,390).

The Maria’s SteakCafe Christmas Home Delivery set and Christmas Gift menu are available for pre-order by calling the outlet you want to order from. (Pre-order of one week in advance is required.)
If you’re keen on dining in instead, Maria’s SteakCafe also has a dine-in Christmas menu which will be available at all their outlets until January 2, 2023.
On top of their existing menu, they’ll also be serving dish sets exclusive to this Christmas season, which includes a plethora of Wagyu steaks, Beef Wellington with Foie Gras, Atlantic White Cod, and New Zealand Lamb Cutlet from RM155.

They’re served alongside dishes like Fried Camembert with Cranberry Sauce, Truffle Mushroom Soup, and Lemon Loaf, which we did not manage to try, unfortunately.
On top of that, you could fancy yourself with a glass of wine or an alcoholic beverage.
Note: On Christmas Eve (December 24) and Christmas Day (December 25), Maria’s SteakCafe will exclusively serve their Dine-in Christmas menu during those days.

This Cheras Café & Ukulele Studio Is Based In A Heritage-Filled Family Home

Ah Gong House is a family home—with a twist.
Image Credit: Ah Gong House Facebook
It’s situated among a row of commonplace landed houses, so nondescript that you might even miss it if you pass it. However, Ah Gong House is anything but common or nondescript.
Former kindergarten teacher, Doreen, turned her family home into a ukulele studio on the weekdays and a coffee bar on the weekends, while also allowing some space to become Wonderkitten’s illustration showroom.

Making use of the cosy interior of a home that has been passed down from her grandfather—after which the establishment was named—Doreen, along with her illustrator partner, produced an ambient and homely environment for visitors who decide to hide in this hideout. Workshops are held here occasionally too, including natural dye workshops, painting workshops, sewing workshops and more.
Image Credit: Ah Gong House Facebook
During the weekdays, there’ll be ukulele enthusiasts gathering in the open space to share their thoughts and creative processes. There’s even a couple of classes in between.
It is during the weekends when the coffee bar is in full operation, garnering the enthusiasm and interests of local coffee lovers. All their caffeinated drinks are brewed personally by the trained hands of the folks at Ah Gong House.
Image Credit: Ah Gong House Facebook
The menu consists of both generic and self-conceptualised coffee, such as pour-over coffee, importing pure, roasted beans from mostly local bean producers.

Of course, when you’re drinking coffee, it is always nice to have some pastries to go along with it, and Ah Gong House has gone into making their own desserts for customers.

ZEN by MEL’s 3-course lunch that's RM188/pax gives you a taste of what they can really do

ZEN by MEL, the Japanese fine dining fusion restaurant and sister brand of CC by Mel, has released a new Niisho lunch menu that we were invited to try.
While the DiscoverKL team has reviewed ZEN by MEL twice before, both were for their dinner service, so this was a welcome change.
Joined by Sade (who has dined with them before), I visited the Bukit Jalil restaurant on a fine Sunday afternoon to learn that it was just the two of us that day. Lunchtime isn’t as busy for them as of now, the team shared. Luckily for us, that made for a nice, intimate midday meal.
Sitting across from the chefs, we were able to witness the final preparations of our three-course lunch.

As always, the dishes were created by Chef Jordan, who trained in Singapore and has worked in a Michelin Guide restaurant, and Chef Mohd Shafik, the Chef de Cuisine with 27 years of culinary experience.
Here are our thoughts on the meal.
Some off-the-menu items
To appetise us before the actual appetiser, we were served an off-the-menu item, introduced as a Japanese version of the mushroom soup.

Its dark base featured smoked shiitake and roasted kombu, with bits of applewood-smoked king oyster mushroom. Salty and umami, I’d say it did its job as a palate opener well.
As ZEN by MEL’s lunch menu also comes with a complimentary beverage, we were served cerulean-coloured mocktails called Blue Lagoon to go with our meals. Another seemingly off-the-menu item, this drink was refreshing with an acidic tang.

1. Appetisers: King Hamachi Nigri & Temari
With the appetiser course named The Tale of Amaterasu, who is the sun goddess in Japanese mythology, cold smoke is used in the presentation of the dishes.

A plate of three nigiris, the King Hamachi Nigri featured hamachi (Japanese amberjack or yellowtail) from Kyoto. For the spring season, the hamachi is said to contain a higher fat percentage, which contributes to a melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. Flavour-wise, the fish was mildly sweet and buttery.

What truly shone in the dish was the paired toppings. Each nigiri had a different topping—Ikura (salmon roe), Iranian caviar, and miso—that brought forth a distinct burst of flavours. The roe was creamy while the caviar was earthy.
For the miso nigiri, curry leaves and shallots were used, allowing for some familiar Asian flavours to come through.
Meanwhile, the Temari features three spheres of sushi resembling handballs, which is a toy and folk art from Japan.

Two of the temari featured tuna, which was cured with some seaweed and topped with sweet ginger glaze and sesame seeds. The third was blanketed by thin avocado slices, seasoned with Ivory island salt.
The rice used in both dishes was roasted, adding a sweet smokiness.

2. Entrees:  Maguro Tataki & Unagitaka
Moving on, we were introduced to the main course, named The Tale of Susanoo, the storm god.
The Maguro Tataki featured a generous portion of rice and maguro (tuna). Seared on the outside and coated with mixed sesame, the raw fish was fresh and firm, but admittedly not much to write home about.

Adding a spicy kick, the East Coast Dressing was what elevated the meal beyond a simple rice bowl. Inspired by Kelantanese and Thai flavours, the dressing (or sauce, really) is served on the side and tastes fishy and a little nutty.
More impressive, however, was the Unagitaka.

Looking almost like a rice burger, this layered dish featured rice at the bottom, then sweet glazed unagi (eel) atop it. The final layer was a spinach salad drizzled with a wasabi dressing.
Tucked in between the layers of unagi and rice, you’ll find a buttery, crispy paratha that makes for a surprisingly delicious addition. They also used an aubergine jam created with honey and cumin to hone in on the South Asian flair.
Between the two, the Unagitaka was a much stronger contender and better showcased the culinary prowess and creativity of the fusion restaurant.
Both dishes were generous and rice-forward, which made them very filling meals. But finished with shallot oil and mixed with furikake, the rice—which is Akita Komachi rice, to be specific—was beautifully seasoned.
3. Dessert: Moon Rosette & Mitarashi Dango
After the filling entrees, the dessert course—named The Tale of Tsukiyomi, the moon god—was served.

Both desserts were on the underwhelming side. The Moon Rosette was essentially just a kuih rose (AKA kuih loyang). It was finished with a passion fruit tuile and pineapple cream.
The result was a fruity, crunchy delight, but it was a little too simplistic and—dare I say—amateur for my liking.

Meanwhile, the Mitarashi Dango came with five mochi balls. The mochis didn’t have any filling but were instead covered in a Mitarashi sauce, which is a sweet soy sauce glaze.
The chocolate gelato, which was featured in both dishes, was the highlight for me. Creamy and rich, the dark chocolatey goodness is further elevated by the sprinkling of sea salt.
On the Moon Rosette, there was also some bits of chocolate crumble layered underneath the ice cream for added crunch.
Referencing our past reviews here, it seems that desserts still aren’t exactly ZEN by MEL’s strong suit.
Overall thoughts
With this marking my first time at ZEN by MEL, I found the lunch affair to be thoroughly enjoyable. My choices (the nigiri, followed by the Maguro Tataki, then finished with the Moon Rosette) seemed to be delicious, albeit simpler than I anticipated.
Sade, who has enjoyed the Niisho dinner menu before, felt that it wasn’t exactly the team’s best or most polished work. The dishes were filling thanks to their rice bases, but she didn’t find them satisfying per se, at times even commenting that there was a bit too much rice.

While the RM188 per pax price was reasonable for this three-course lunch, I did wish there was more creativity and nuance to my meal.
Compared to their dinner courses, the Niisho Lunch menu appears to be a friendlier option for the less adventurous eater. Of course, that comes at the cost of not pushing the envelope as much as the restaurant’s other menus.
For those who have been looking to try ZEN by MEL but haven’t been able to commit to the pricier and also busier dinner service, perhaps this lunch menu is a good one to test the waters, but don’t let it define or limit what you think ZEN by MEL is capable of.

Here's How To Travel To Iceland For Less Than RM 6,000!

Iceland! The Nordic island of dramatic volcanic landscape of geysers, hot springs, glaciers, black sand beaches and of course the aurora. Yeah, that sure sounds like an amazing place to visit but wouldn’t it cost a bomb to get to Iceland?
While the country is expensive, Iceland is the kind of beautiful and that makes it worth the cost of visiting. But did you know that you can actually make your Iceland dream come true by keeping your major expenses below RM 6,000? If that sounds to good to be true, Jennifer Lee has done it and so can you!
Breakdown Of Major Expenses

Kuala Lumpur – London return ticket via Singapore Airlines: RM3,000.00
London – Reykjavik via EasyJet: RM 180.00
Reykjavik – London via Iceland Air: RM600.00
5 nights accommodation via Airbnb : RM 900.00
Car rental and petrol (Cars Iceland, 4WD 7 seater w/ roof box): RM 500.00
Meals (eat out and home cook): about RM 800.00

Add ’em up and it comes to a total of RM 5980.00! The prices are of per person, based on real expenditure in Iceland with a group of 11 adults and 1 toddler. The group main ate out for lunch but prepared their own dinner. If you intend to cook, make sure you book for a place that has a proper kitchen that allows the tenants to cook.
Travel tip: You can even go lower than that price by picking a more budgeted accommodation on Airbnb  and play around with your car selection when booking for your vehicle. As for the air ticket, you can use skyscanner to compare prices across airlines for the best flight deals.
Suggested Itinerary
Day 1: Majestic Waterfalls
‘Seljalandsfoss‘ Image source: Wikimedia
From the Keflavik airport, pick up your rental cars and drive down to Seljalandsfoss – the most iconic waterfall in Iceland. The ride will take slightly more than 2 hours without traffic but the view there is A.MAI.ZING! It will be worth the trip. After that, take on a 20+minutes ride to Skogafoss, a waterfall at the cliffs of the former coastline. While you’re around Skogagoss, you might want to check out the United States Navy DC plane that was abandoned on the black beach at Sólheimasandur (or more commonly known as the Sólheimasandur Plane Wreck)

Day 2: Glaciers Hopping
‘Vatnajökull’ Image source: Flickr (Slipshod Photog)
Start the day with a visit to Vatnajökull (Vatna Glacier), the largest and most voluminous ice cap in Iceland. It is located in the south-east of the island, covering more than 8% of the country! Next, hop on to Fjallsárlón, a glacier lake at the south end of the Vatna Glacier. Another glacier lake to check out is Jökulsárlón, the deepest lake in Iceland, at over 248 metres. The size of the lake has expanded so much naturally that it is famed as one of the natural wonders of Iceland.

Day 3: Golden Circle Road Trip
‘Golden Circle’ Image source: Wikimedia
Driving the Golden Circle (Gulfoss, Geysir, Thingvellier) is a MUST DO day trip for visitors to Iceland. It’s a whopping 300km route covering many majestic landmarks of geysers, waterfalls and national parks. You can join an organised tour to explore the Golden Circle but self-driving allows you to explore side roads and spend an hour petting Icelandic horses if you want. Also if you’re in for some fun, head to Langjökull Glacier for some snowmobiling (RM 900/person).

Day 4: The Viking Life
‘Whale watching‘ Image source: Wildlife Iceland
After 3 days of travelling from places to places, its time to unwind and do something a little more relaxing. Iceland is among Europe’s best whale watching destinations. During the summer months (April through September), the shores become a feeding ground for as many as 20 species of whales! After whale watching, head over to The Sun Voyager, a massive steel sculpture that sort of resembles a Viking ship but actually its a dream boat celebrating the sun. When you’re done with your Instagram moment, take a dip at a public geothermal pool and unkink your muscles like a true blue Viking.

Day 5: Take It Easy No Pressure Day

‘Reykjavik’ Image source: Wikipedia
Last day at Iceland and let’s just take it really easy. Reykjavik may be a small city but they have a vibrant music and theatre scene that literally bring life to the town. If you can’t get enough of the geothermal pool, head to Blue Lagoon for a Nordic spa experience (RM200 onwards) or for family with children, check out the Reykjavik Family Park and Zoo.  For those travelling in winter, Reykjavik is great for seeing the Northern lights. The lights are most likely to be seen in September- Octber and February – March.
‘Blue Lagoon’ Image source: Wikipedia
Now who said that you need big bucks to make it to Iceland? By keeping your major expenses to the minimum and with proper planning of a comprehensive itinerary, a short vacation to Iceland is definitely doable and is not as far as it seems.  What activity would you like to do the most at Iceland? Drop a comment and let us know!

This KL Restaurant's #SpicyNoodleChallenge Might Help M'sians Earn Their Free Meal

Buncit Bao Bar recently challenged Malaysians to their very own #BuncitSpicyChallenge. Following the whole Spicy Noodle Challenge hype, Buncit Bao Bar decided to host a challenge called the 3+3 Spicy Noodle Challenge.
Competitors of this challenge have to finish a bowl of cold and spicy chicken noodles in 3 minutes, hold the spiciness for an additional 3 minutes (without drinking) and the bowl of noodles is completely free. The Buncit Spicy Challenge is ongoing up till September 30th and it will be held during the lunch and dinner period.

So what exactly makes this noodle challenge so epic?
The chilli used in Buncit Bao Bar are in fact some of the spiciest in the world (the Carolina Reaper) and on the scoville scale, it is 2.2 million. In comparison, a cili padi is about 150k units on the scoville scale, the Trinidad Scorpion (1.4 mil) and the Naga Jolokia (1 mil).
The team at Buncit Bao Bar shared that they are imposing a one bowl per person per day limit for their customers’ safety. If you can stand the heat, why not head on over to the restaurant and take on this challenge for yourself? Alternatively, the restaurant is also best known for their baos, so definitely leave room to enjoy some of that too!
Buncit Bao Bar
Hours: Daily: 11am-2.30pm, 6pm-10.30pm (4pm on Sat & Sun). Closed on Tuesdays.
Address: 9, Jalan SS21/37, Damansara Utama, PJ

[DKL Gets Personal] Lucas Tho Of Steaks & Lobsters

Steaks & Lobsters is an eatery which serves as its name suggest: steaks and lobsters. Besides their signature dishes, the eatery also serves a wide range of appetizers, pastas, burgers and milkshakes. The business is conceived by 2 Malaysian brothers, Shean Tho and Lucas Tho, alongside their partner in crime, Nicholas Thang.
Discover KL recently caught up with Lucas Tho, the co-founder of Steaks & Lobsters, as they share about how they got into the business, which are their personal recommendations off the menu, and much more.
1) What is your backstory before getting into the business?
Lucas Tho (LT): The three of us have our fair share of experience within the F&B Industry. We also have other F&B ventures up and running before founding Steaks & Lobsters.
Image Credit: Steaks & Lobsters
2) Why did you start Steaks & Lobsters?
LT: We all have a passion and stomach for Western-style dishes especially red meat and seafood so our cravings inspired us to start an American-themed steakhouse which is now known as Steaks & Lobsters.
Image Credit: Steaks & Lobsters
Image Credit: Steaks & Lobsters
3) What are your best and worst moments throughout the business?
LT: The best moments that we had here was during the month of August 2016, while we were celebrating our 1st year anniversary. Most of our regular customers celebrated with us and showed their support, which really made us happy after all the time and effort our team invested into growing this business.
The worst moment for us will probably be when we first started the restaurant; when the majority of our team were inexperienced and we still had a lot of improvements to make to the quality of our food and services. That was a very challenging moment for us as we were going through plenty of trials and errors.
4) Which meal would you recommend to your customer?
LT: We specialise in cooking Live Maine Lobsters, as well as Wet-Aged Beef Steaks. The few dishes that I would recommend to my customers are our (1) Grass-Fed Ribeye Steak (300gm), (2) Wagyu Round Sirloin (300gm), and (3) Grilled Maine Lobster (800gm), if it’s their first time dining at Steaks & Lobsters. If they’re not here for the steaks and lobsters, we still have a variety of gourmet burgers, pastas, salads, and seafood dishes on the menu.

5) If you were to rate your business between 1 to 5, what number would it be?
LT: We agree that we would rate our business 3.5/5 at the moment, as we still have plenty of room for improvement. There will be more new and interesting things to come at Steaks & Lobsters, and we’re always striving to improve the business wherever we can.
6) Choose one dish from your restaurant that you wouldn’t mind eating for the rest of your life.
LT: Personally for me, if I could only choose one dish from my restaurant for the rest of my life, it would be our latest USDA Prime-Grade Black Angus Beef. So far, it’s the best type of beef that’s on our menu and I really love its flavour, tenderness, and juiciness.
Image Credit: Steaks & Lobsters
7) What are you looking forward to for Steaks & Lobsters?
LT: Our dreams for this business is to grow the Steaks & Lobsters brand into an international level while maintaining a good level of consistency in the quality of the food and services. The dream isn’t impossible. We just have to continue working hard on it.

This Luxurious Blend Of Premium European Tea Leaves Is From A 100% M'sian Store

While I am not a tea lover, I have been confronted by a lot of tea lovers about the difference between real European tea and less-than-real European tea.
They bemoan the hardship of locating good European tea leaves in Malaysia, while at the same time disliking the bland taste of local tea which claims to be genuinely from Europe.
That’s where a local brand steps in to bridge the gap.
Pick A Pekoe, an online tea retailer in Malaysia, has released an European tea leaf series, the ROBOCH Loose Leaf Tea, which is a blend of unique flavours with equally as unique monikers.
Image Credit: Pick A Pekoe Facebook
So now that you’ve found good European tea leaves, you must be wondering about the price and figure that it has to be outrageous (because European stuff is always expensive).
Well, you are wrong, because ROBOCH Loose Leaf Tea may be the most affordable of good European tea leaves here in Malaysia.
Image Credit: Pick A Pekoe Facebook
ROBOCH Loose Leaf Tea currently has a slew of classic European tea leaf flavours, complete with really cute names. For example, there’s the Lemon and Ginger Sword, Babe in the Forest, Pina the Queen, Chai meets Latte, Preach the Peach, Mango Tango, and Santa’s Servant.
Image Credit: Pick A Pekoe Facebook
To discover what their entire tea menu entails, you only have to visit the ROBOCH Loose Leaf Tea website.
Whether you are just a tea lover or buying for a fellow tea lover as a gift, ROBOCH Loose Leaf Tea is worth a try.

Puzzle Your Friends With This Dessert That They'll Have To Solve—Or Not

There’s a new dessert delivery service in town and it’s perfect for personal indulgences or as a gift for friends.
Made with premium ingredients imported from France, Belgium and New Zealand, Little Black Pastry Box’s pastries are also free of artificial flavorings or preservatives.
The A Puzzling Hookup series pretty much qualifies as the most adorable and thoughtful gift that’s both quirky and fun.

As the team puts it, “It is not a legit puzzle until you can piece all your problems together and then eat it all away.”
It’s basically a large pan-sized cookie decorated with birthday, congratulatory, safe travel or encouraging wishes which has then been carefully sliced into large puzzle pieces.

Priced at RM59, you can opt to piece the puzzle back together before consuming them or go ahead and have the slices from the box any which way that you desire.
What’s more, you can even contact the team and send in your desired design for a minimal customisation fee of roughly RM10.

Besides cookie puzzle pieces, you could also get curated pastry box sets such as A Vanity Affair (RM89)

Choose to indulge in a box of petite pastel pink treats with flavours such as Macaron with Dark Chocolate Ganache, Chocolate Praline with White Chocolate Ganache and more.
If you’re looking for something a bit more tropical and fruity, there’s A Summer Fling (RM109).

Escape to tropical paradise with Little Black Pastry Box’s fruity desserts which are perfect for a summertime picnic. Flavours include Orange and Grapefruit with Passionfruit Tartlet, Green Tea and Strawberry Balsamic Cake and more.
Step into the world of chocolates with A Bittersweet Affair (RM99)

It’s a box of bittersweet, rich creamy chocolates with a touch of fresh citrus for good measure. Flavours include Mousse Petit Gateaux, Hazelnut with Orange Zest Eclair and more.
Last but not least, why not get A Choux Box?

Choux, pronounced “shoe,” means cabbage in French and it also signifies the dough that is used in most French pastries. Little Black Pastry Box’s version of a choux box is their 3 signature flavours: Strawberry Cream Cheese, Chocolate Hazelnut and Pistachio.

While Little Black Pastry Box does not have a retail store at the moment, they offer delivery services to all areas in Klang Valley and Selangor.
Delivery charge ranges from RM10 to RM40 but there’s free delivery for purchases above RM150.
So, which little black pastry box are you looking to surprise your loved one with next? Heck, why not buy one for yourself too while you’re at it? 😉

It's Not Just About The Theme Park—Here're 6 More Fun Things To Do In Genting

Beyond theme park rides and glamping staycations, Genting Highlands has a wealth of other fun activities.
We recently checked into the Grand Ion Delemen Hotel, Genting Highlands for a night and got to experience 6 activities which are unique to the hotel.
Here are some things you can try the next time you’re in Grand Ion Delemen Hotel, Genting Highlands:
1. Enjoy a high tea experience @ Fairy Tales cafe

As soon as we entered this quaint little space, we were greeted with whimsical Disney instrumental music. It’s clear that they are ensuring that all aspects are covered, from the visuals and music, to the mood and food.
Faux roses fill up the entire wall and it serves as a photo-taking backdrop. Upon closer inspection, there must be at least hundreds, if not a thousand faux flowers stuck closely together on the grass-patterned wall.

Besides this signature floral wall, there is a separate corner decked with photo props and a swing (which is wrapped up during non-operating hours to prevent passersby from poking and prodding).
The space was smaller than we had expected but that makes it all the more cosy.

As for the meals itself, they are served on a chequered cloth-covered table to set the mood for a picnic (minus the ants and mozzies). We went with 2 high tea sets—one sweet and one savoury—and the set even comes complete with a premium pot of Pickwick tea each.
After having tried both, I personally prefer the sweet set as the scones with the accompanying clotted cream and jam are incredibly indulgent. Other must-tries include the mushroom bruschetta and the smoked salmon quiche.
Both sets are priced at RM98 each or you can opt for a mix of both sweet and savoury as it’s priced the same.
2. Tackle the cold with the spicy chicken wing challenge

Who’s up for some spicy chicken wings?
Hugo’s In The Sky is one of Grand Ion Delemen Hotel, Genting Highlands’ restaurants and upon entering the space, one wouldn’t automatically think that it’s the perfect setting for a spicy chicken wing challenge.
The space has a fine dining air to it and with expensive liquor bottles on display, you’ll be able to wine and dine to your heart’s content. It’s also the home to a newly-introduced spicy chicken wing challenge which idea came about during the World Cup season.
“I first introduced this dish during the recent World Cup season,” their chef shared with us. He was the one who was responsible for the recipe of this dish. “Malaysian and Singaporean guests took one bite and they left the remainder of the chickens aside because it was too spicy,” he joked.
The chef then took the dish and turned it into a full-fledged challenge where contestants are made to finish 30 spicy chicken wings within 15 minutes in order to earn 1,000 AirAsia Big points.
And what’s more, the contestants are only allowed to drink water 5 minutes after the challenge, for an extended burn period.
The chef has personally tried the challenge himself and only managed to finish 15 pieces in 5 minutes, to which he could not continue any further.
When our team took part in the competition, only 3 contestants had tried it prior to us and none had succeeded.

Our tribute was Evelyn, whom after taking on what she deems the spiciest meal she’s ever tasted in KL, was still brave enough to take this on.
Her tactic was removing the bones and proceeding to eat the chickens clean. The heat was bearable for her and she powered through the entire 15-minute period. However, as the wings are huge and meaty pieces, she only managed to chow down on 13 pieces, which was a not bad feat already!
Made with cili padi and chilli powder, among other ingredients, be sure to give this a go and try your luck in being the first well-deserved champion. And be extra thankful that the chef did not include the iconic ghost pepper in this. “I couldn’t get my hands on the ghost pepper, if not I will definitely include it in these spicy chicken wings,” the chef laughed as he explained to us.
This challenge is available throughout July-September 2019, from 5pm-11pm at Hugo’s In The Sky in Grand Ion Delemen Hotel, Genting Highlands.
3. Enjoy the spectacular views through the flying fox course

We’re infinitely grateful that the Grand Ion Delemen Hotel, Genting Highlands team offered to chaffeur us back to the hotel in a buggy after completing this course because by then, our legs felt like jello.
The challenge course consisted of flying fox, several rope courses and a rock climbing zone and it took us about an hour to complete everything.
We were assisted by Grand Ion Delemen Hotel, Genting Highlands’ Recreation Manager, Prakash. He has been with the hotel for 3 years now and he mentioned that it is their utmost priority to perform regular safety checks to double check on all the ropes and harnesses prior to usage.
This remark came about when I felt a little queasy prior to going on the flying fox course. His words reassured us as we went about the activities.
In actual fact, the flying fox course is not too high up and even for someone who is afraid of heights, I found it to be manageable.
It also felt incredibly fulfilling to complete the course and I would highly recommend those with a mild fear of heights to give this a go. Who knows, you might just kick that fear in the butt once and for all. And if you don’t, this part of the course only lasts about 10-15 minutes.
4. Go rock climbing and feel on top of the world

The rock climbing course proved to be more difficult than we had initially thought.
As first-timers on the course, the small footholds made this quite the challenge even when the pillar is not very high. Having done the course (unsuccessfully), I would recommend heading here with the right shoes which are made specifically for rock climbing.
The entire course (inclusive of the flying fox and ropes course) is priced at RM60 and it’s also open to non-hotel guests but this depends on the availability of spots as priority will be given to hotel guests.
5. Warm up in the indoor heated pool

Here’s a tip: head here during the later parts of the evening.
“Most guests would head up to Sky Avenue after dinner, through our complimentary hourly shuttle service,” the team shared with us. That leaves the pool area relatively empty for guests who are looking for a leisurely swim around the pool before bedtime.
As the pool area is open until 10pm daily, you can have an early dinner at one of the restaurants prior to going for your swim.
What makes this pool area unique is the fact that it is heated up to 30 degrees and considering how the outdoor temperatures dipped to about 13 degrees when we were there, it felt comforting to dip in the pool which is set to one’s body temperature.

Floats are available for rent too if you’re looking to get your pool shot for the ‘gram. However, do note that there are no guards on duty at this pool.
After towelling off, you can opt to get some bites at the nearby Oasis Pool Bar. You’ve probably earned it now that you’ve done a couple of laps around the pool. 😉
6. Chow down on nasi lemak-themed fare at the Nasi Lemak Buffet

Exclusively available for 4 days only at the Kembali Kitchen, the Nasi Lemak Buffet features hybrid nasi lemak dishes as well as an incorporating of special state recipes.
For instance, there’s the Rendang Ayam Kuala Kangsar paired with nasi lemak.
“To evoke the nostalgic flavours of Malay cooking, the chicken is marinated overnight with exotic spices and mixed herbs before being slowly stewed for two hours to retain its juicy moisture,” Chef Sam shared.

If you prefer chowing down on nasi lemak hybrid dishes, there’s the Nasi Lemak Burger and Nasi Lemak Pizza. There’s even a Nasi Lemak Ice Cream which is made from lemongrass and coconut milk. Nasi lemak condiments are available to be sprinkled on top, including sambal, peanuts, eggs, anchovies and cucumbers, depending on how adventurous you’re planning to be.
Before calling it a day though, definitely head to the Pulut Kuning Berlapis Sambal Billis and Hati Ayam with Kacang Buncis stations as these dishes aren’t commonly found at buffets.
This Nasi Lemak Buffet will be available on August 31, September 1 and September 14-15. It’s priced at RM62 nett for adults, RM31 nett for children aged 11 and below and senior citizens aged 60 and above, as well as RM45 nett for group bookings (minimum 30 pax). Any RM300 spent in a single receipt for the buffet will earn guests an instant redemption of 888 AirAsia BIG points.
