Tee Foodie: January 2017

Pulp by Papa Palheta @ Bangsar

My sister and I decided to have breakfast in a cafe last week because it was her off day. Both of us woke up early and planned to eat breakfast in Bangsar. My sister wanted to go Breakfast Thieves but it was closed so we went to Pulp instead. There was water disruption happening at that area. I tried Breakfast Thieves before and I wanted to try Pulp long time ago. I am excited and I didn't have breakfast like these long time already. We also haven't go cafe together for long time already because she was busy with her work.

Many people had taken pictures with the Instagram worthy background which was the front door and the hanging lamp. They are many hipster and minimal backgrounds all around the cafe that you can take pictures with. I can see two groups of people having photoshoot at that area.

This cafe operates for many years already and it was still very crowded. I heard many good reviews about this cafe so I am not surprised with the crowd. It was full house when we reached this cafe. We had to wait a while for the table. The staff was really friendly and cheerful to us. I can see a few people came here to do work and enjoying a cup of coffee.

The moment when we stepped into the cafe, we can smelled the coffee and it smelled really good! I heard that they provide training for cupping session and organise workshops. I did not know much about coffee so some equipment looked strange to me.

They sell their own merchandise such as t-shirt and tote bags. I really liked how they designed their interior and exterior of the cafe. They had many big windows for the lights to shine into the cafe. Everyone are allowed to take water which is free.

If you don't know much about coffee, you can come here to know more about it! You can buy espresso blends, coffee beans, drinking chocolate and more. You can take a whiff of the coffee beans too. Feel free to ask the staffs for more information.

They have many types of coffee you can choose from such as hand brews, cold brews and more. They only provide regular fresh milk and not low-fat milk. I really liked the environment and ambiance here. It made you feel very comfortable. I don't mind doing work and enjoying a cup of coffee or even chatting with my friends here.

Pulp serves pastries and cakes too! They are a wide range of variety for you to choose from. They have scones, waffles, croissant, carrot cake, brownies, tart and more.

This is their new menu currently. Their food price range is from RM20 onwards. You can add on ingredients for the dishes you ordered too. I wished they have more food choices. Other than coffee and hand brews, they serve teas, chocolate and fruit juice.

Cappuccino (RM12) - This cafe was very professional and serious about coffee. How can coffee get any worse? This cappuccino was really good and rich! The aroma was really nice and it had high acidity. It also had a bright flavor. You guys must try their coffee when you visit this cafe!

Mini Scones (RM7 for two) - There were raisins in these mini scones and the price is reasonable for such delicious scones. A cube of butter and strawberry jam will be given if you ordered these scones. My sister loved the scones very much as she doesn't like buttery scones. However, for me, I felt that the scones were not buttery enough. Different people will have different preferences i guess. Overall, the scones was light, moist and it won't stuck to your teeth.

Croque Monsieur (RM26) - Brioche, turkey ham, bechamel sauce, cheese served with mesclun salad and balsamic vinegar. If you are a cheese lover like me, you will love this dish! Every bites that filled with cheese was the best thing ever. Bechamel sauce also know as white sauce really paired well with other ingredients. This dish was really flavorful and well-seasoned. The portion was just nice for breakfast! I recommend everyone to try this. MUST TRY!

I loved this cafe and everything was great here in every aspects. I will come and visit this cafe again in the future. Great job, Pulp team!

Happ Cafe @ Tropicana Avenue

cake 09:34

Have you been to a flower cafe before? Do you ever want to go to a flower cafe? A new flower cafe opened in Tropicana Avenue three weeks ago! This cafe is the latest hype at the moment. I found out this cafe on Instagram and this cafe is too petty. I told myself I must go to this cafe and I went few days ago. I decided to have tea time on a hot sunny day. I was lucky because the day when I went is the first day of them serving hot food. This cafe located in the same building as Terracotta Cafe.

They have outdoor seating but there were not much seats.There was a menu listed on the chalk board as I said that day is their first day of serving hot foods. I really liked how the natural lighting shone into the cafe. Natural lighting always make pictures become nicer.

I reached this cafe at around 3:30pm and there were only few tables were not occupied. The first thing that I did when I reached the cafe was checked whether they still have the cute honey cake or not hahah. One of the staffs came to me and told me their signature dishes and told me to order at the counter once I was ready to order.

What I liked about this cafe is not just their cute cake but also the flower bar. They sell both real and artificial flowers. You can DIY your own flower bouquet by choosing and wrapping the flowers to your own style. They also provide delivery service in Tropicana area only. Furthermore, they also sell stickers and postcards. This flower bar was truly insta worthy.

I really loved the repeated tiles pattern and their marble counter top! I am a marble pattern lover. Most of the furniture were white in colour and I liked it. They provided free water like how every cafes did.

They serve 13 types of cakes. That's really a lot. The average price for cakes was RM16. Their signature cakes were the flower flavoured cakes. They also serve variety of pastries such as croissant, cream chicken puff, mini apple turnover, pain au chocolat and more!

This cafe has two floors. People can have their discussion and use their laptop at the second floor because you can charge your laptop there.

Their food price range is from RM14 onwards. They serve many types of drinks such as coffee, frappucino, cold-pressed juice, smoothie, tea and more. I wanted to try their hot food but I also wanted something light. So I ordered the french toast.

Camomile Honey Cake (RM16) - Can we just take a moment and talk about how cute was this cake? This cake was soft and moist. It was flavorful and not very sweet unless you added a lot of honey. I have to say that they had thick icing on the cake as I don't eat much icing but some people love icing. I will not complain about the icing part but the icing was good though. It was vanilla icing I guess. The cake also have a piece of honeycomb patterned white chocolate. Overall this cake was good!

Brioche french toast with berry compote (RM16) - French toast with strawberries, blueberries, edible flowers, whipped cream and berries sauce. This dish did not give a wow factor to me and tasted normal. I felt like there was something missing but I have to say that the french toast was soft and fluffy. The sauce was not overly sweet but it made me felt like I will not order this again.

Raspberry and Chocolate macaroons (Complimentary) - I did not expect they will give macaroons at all because they did not sell macaroons. It was so nice of them to give out free macaroons because macaroons are not cheap at all. I preferred the chocolate macaroons because it was not overly sweet and I liked the thick ganache filling in the middle. The filling in the raspberry macaroon was too sweet. The texture of the macaroon shells was how it should be like.

Staffs were friendly and this cafe was very relaxing. Environment was really good and definitely a great place to hang out. Btw the Camomile Honey cake was sold out before I left the cafe. That's very fast and I advice you to come before 5pm to avoid disappointment.

P.s This is based on my own preferences and my humble opinions. It may be different compare to other people.

Sis & Co. @ Kg. Kayu Ara Damansara

breakfast 12:21

A hidden restaurant cafe in Petaling Jaya! There was no other cafes around this area except repair workshops. This cafe is a warehouse cafe and it is huge. This cafe opened for around 5 months already and they serve mainly pork. I wanted to visit here when this cafe was still new but I heard many bad reviews about this cafe and it made me didn't wanna go already. However, my parents asked me to bring them to this cafe because they saw many people in this cafe when they passed by. I am kinda shocked when my parents wanted to go this cafe.

They have both indoor and outdoor seating. You are only allowed to smoke at the outdoor area. There were not much seats for outdoor seating but there were many inside.

I went to this cafe with my parents few days before Christmas. This cafe was decorated with Christmas decorations and they were really pretty. It made you feel like Christmas was just around the corner.

I loved their interior design so much. I liked their coffee bar with red bricks wall and hanging lights. I really loved the big windows at the side of the cafe. The natural lighting shined into the cafe was the best for photos. Thumbs up for good interior design!

Their environment and ambiance were good. They have some vintage paintings and unique lights in the toilet too. Plants were placed all over in the cafe.

My parents and I reached here around 4pm and there were not many customers. We were welcomed by the staff there. We asked for water and ordered two dishes as we are here for some light food only. There were flies in this cafe but there had oil lamp on the table to prevent flies to get near our food.

You can sit upstairs too. You can see the whole view of the cafe from upstairs and it was really amazing. Water was also provided upstairs. I FORGOT to take pictures of the menu and show you guys. I am so sorry!! There serve ribs, fish & chips, pasta, salad, bagel, pancake, waffle, cake, coffee, tea, mocktail and more. They also serve ice cream from Kapati.

Below here were the food we ate.

Bacon Bagel (RM16) - Bagel served with slices of bacon, tomatoes, mustard, lettuce and fresh salad with balsamic vinegar. The bagel is not the type that is very hard until you can't cut into it. The bacon is to die for. Look at the generous amount of bacon! Tasty, greasy and smelled really good. It was crisped to perfection and you just want to savor the moment. The salad matched well with the balsamic vinegar as usual. They gave a lot of salad for this dish. This dish was worth the price.

Classic Waffle Breakfast (RM18) - Waffle served with bacon, sunny side up, chicken sausage and salad with balsamic vinegar. Double egg yolks, double happiness! The egg yolks were not very runny but at least there was some egg yolk flowing out when you cut into it. The waffle is the soft type and not crunchy but it smelled good. I preferred crunchy ones but this waffle was not bad. The bacon was good as I said before that. The sausage tasted normal like how it should be tasted. I don't mind having this dish for my breakfast.

The staffs were really friendly to us. They came to our table and asked us how was the food and we can tell them if we wanted anything. Overall everything was good except there were many flies in this cafe.
