Tryst Cafe @ SS15/4C

 It was a nice blue-skied Sunday when i decided to have brunch - cafe style. I was around Subang Jaya area when I stumbled upon Tryst cafe.
Loved the turquoise walls which reminded be of Kaffa cafe in Penang and though why not give it a try. And 'Tryst' (name of cafe) seems befitting for the moment.

I ordered the Tryst breakfast platter for RM13.

 The breakfast platter came with alot of ingredients. There was the main toast & scrambled eggs, grilled chicken breast strips, bacon, mushrooms and salad & tomatoes on the side. Quite yummy... although nothing exceptionally special. I suppose the price of RM13 is expected. Not too expensive. Affordable lar...

Hazelnut Latte with biscotti on the side

Cute leaf pattern on my latte - coffee art

 Check-out the interior of this cool cafe... the wall art and decor reminds me very much of the cafes in Penang. Feels quite cozy here. Although there are not many tables in the cafe, there are tables outside for smoking patrons.

Being a cafe, they too offer a variety of cakes and desserts

See this cool standing lamp in a shape of a mannequin dressed in a yellow blouse and floral motif pants.

You could feel IKEA in their decor. Just look at the colourful display of IKEA cushions. Awesome.

Wall art.

Sat under the open roof area which let in some natural lighting...more wall art.

Had a satisfying brunch that lovely Sunday. And the bill came to a total of RM23. Quite affordable la.. 

Kinda like the lay-out and the decor of this quaint cafe located in SS15. Good place to hang-out and just chillax. 

PS visited this place before GST. So... I'm not too sure of the current prices (after GST implementation)

Local Breakfast - KL salty style?

Prices are undoubtly higher in KL than say Penang or Ipoh..

Had breakfast in Cheras recently and ordered Pan Mee. Cost me RM5 bucks... came with shreds of minced pork with was super super salty. and salted ikan bilis, with salty ikan bilis flavoured soup containing 2 *luckily not over salty* meat balls

I had teh tarik which cost RM1.90 and had very little amount of sugar.... hmphh. 

The Pan Mee .. as in the actual noodle without the ingredients actually tasted nice. *surprisingly*

Let the race begin!

In exactly 30days' time, the race will commence at Bukit Jalil Stadium...

When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That's how a superhero learns to fly
Everyday, every hour, turn the pain into power

Baci @ Citta Mall, PJ

Back to blogging about food!

I went to Citta Mall the other day, for reasons that warrants another blogpost. (me trying to create anticipation.. hehe) After the main agenda, I was hungry and looked around for a nice eatery for a late, late lunch.

This is where i stumbled upon Baci! I remember having a member's card for Italliannis called 'Pinch of Salt' with the logo Baci on the back affiliated with the card. This means I could collect / redeem points at Baci too! Yay!

So Baci for lunch it is.

I was feeling a pasta craving coming along... so I ordered the Spaghetti Beef Carbonara from their Pasta selection.

Here's what came... it looked delightful. Mouth watering... and yummy for my tummy.

The complete look... with drinks and table number... 

At Baci, they also offer coffee and sandwiches....

And free self-service plain water...

This meal cost me RM17.90, no service tax because it's self-service... I like!

Let's see what happens come April 

New beginnings, New place!

Hello all of you!
It's been really long since I last posted - 6 months to be precise! Really sorry about that. A lot of things have been going on lately and I was very very busy in getting things together...


Big news peeps, I've moved to KL!!
These past few months have been super hectic with me moving to my new old apartment and starting work at a new place.


I'm beginning to get settled in my new place and my new working environment as well as my new routine! So, life here is pretty different from back home.


As for blogging, well, I'll be blogging about KL foods... and Penang foods whenever I go back home.


So, to start the ball rolling again, here's a post about my recent pre-birthday brunch and birthday celebration! Yay!

Had a lovely brunch in Bangsar at a bakery cum café called Tous Les Jours. I ordered an iced latte and a peach pastry. Delish! 

                                                    They also have breakfast set meals too!

 

A little something to take home... hehehe

House of Pancakes @ Paradigm Mall KL

I first found this gem of a place in Midvalley Megamall. I had one of their set lunches and I was sold! They offer the best Mexican Taco I have ever tasted and it left me wanting more!

 

This time that I was in KL, I again spotted this outlet at Paradigm Mall. Without hesitation, I ordered the same set for my lunch.

 

 From the menu, you can see they have a selection of food from sandwiches to burgers to pasta and of course, Taco!

Here's what I ordered : Taco!! ANd the set comes with ice-lemon tea and 3 pieces of pancakes.

The Taco with chicken filling and pasta salad on the side - SUPER DELICIOUS!
and the TACO shell was very crispy

Soooooo Good!!!

The most fluffy and light pancakes ever!!!

Orange is their official colour... nice ambience

Vietnam Kitchen @ Cheras Leisure Mall

As I was in KL recently, I managed to try-out Vietnam Kitchen situated in Cheras Leisure mall on 30th October 2012.

Here's what I ordered

menu



Beef noodles - Vietnamese style RM14.90

Spring rolls 3 pieces for RM6.90

 

The beef noodles came with beef balls, and beef slices. Also, the beef soup was very flavourful and rich. It's the style of the vietnamese to serve the beansprouts raw. Well, i prefer mine cooked, so I soaked the raw sprouts in my hot soup to cook it.

As for starters, I ordered spring rolls. This was somewhat like your average 'chun piah', so nothing special there :) Still, it was crispy and nice too!

Citibank is having a promotion for it's cardmembers ~ 10% off but for purchases above RM20

Last day in KL (DAY 7)

Today, I set off to drive back to Penang. A good 4 hours on the road.

My day began in the morning at 8.45am
I woke-up, did some packing and checked-out at 10.30am

I spent some time at the library first before having my lunch at 12noon. I know i did say i'd try out new things in KL when in KL. Pizza hut is not exactly new, but PHD is. Pizza Hut Delivery was the equivalent to Dominos Pizza. It's a take-away eatery, not a restaurant.

Anyway, nothing to crow about this joint. It's just that there're no PHDs in Penang. Don't think it needs one either.

er, the service was not quite what I expected. Most of the workers were too busy attending to call-in orders than the customers who walk-in to eat-in. One mother-son couple came in after me and they had trouble getting the attention of the workers. Oh well, i suppose they had to meet the time limits for delivery of people's orders. In the end, they left because they had wanted to dine-in, not take away.

This is what i had.

My chicken wings were not properly cooked. See blood on bone.
Still, chicken tasted nice!
Love the crunch in the skin & the BBQ sauce.

Lesson learned: Eat at the actual Restaurant than the take-out equivalant

So i proceede along with my journey back to Penang. I exited Jalan Duta Toll at 1pm sharp.

Goodbye KL...

As I was leaving KL via the NOrth-South expressway, the other side had cars all jammed-up on the route entering KL. Boy am I glad the road north-bound is clear & smooth flowing. (yay!)


Jam -  cars entering KL

Soon, I was in Perak

Tapah is the BEST R&R place to take a break!
It's got everything, from food choices to Petrol stations... Excellent!!

I finally reached Penang at 4.45pm

Home sweet home
