We ordered their daily special which was only RM9.90 only!!! The 3 of us had chicken arrabiata pasta! The pasta was really good, the seasoning was just right and the flavours were on point! Not to mention the price, the dish was considered cheap for such a lovely cafe! The portion was just right as well. I would definitely recommend this place for friends to gather and have some good and affordable food.

Best Red Velvet in town!

This cafe is located at SS12, and it is really upstairs. Restaurant Bawang Merah is the downstairs shop. It is self-service and their menu is written on a blackboard. I heard from my friends that they change their menu everyday as they have limited choices per day. So expect for something new daily. =) They have breakfast and lunch/dinner menu. I have yet to try their breakfast menu but I think their dinner menu is awesome. Cake is the best!

Bacon & Mushroom Risotto

Bacon & Mushroom Risotto RM10.90Bacon & Mushroom Risotto, topped with a sunny side up and a side of green.When I skimped through the menu, this dish caught my attention immediately because of its price. I mean, where else could you find a risotto at only RM10.90?! The price of a risotto at a typical Italian Restaurant is normally priced around RM30+!Never judge a book by its cover, never judge a food by its price. The Risotto, was IMPRESSIVE. The texture was smooth and creamy, really well-done.

 Bacon & Mushroom Risotto RM10.90
Bacon & Mushroom Risotto, topped with a sunny side up and a side of green.
When I skimped through the menu, this dish caught my attention immediately because of its price. I mean, where else could you find a risotto at only RM10.90?! The price of a risotto at a typical Italian Restaurant is normally priced around RM30+!
Never judge a book by its cover, never judge a food by its price. The Risotto, was IMPRESSIVE. The texture was smooth and creamy, really well-done. Each bite was really flavourful. The creamy saucy risotto tempted my taste bud for MORE AND MORE! The beef bacon and mushroom taste infused with the rice, further enhanced the taste of the dish. The greens serves as a perfect respite from the creamy risotto. It mellows the jelak-ness of the whole dish, complementing the risotto perfectly.

Upstairs Cafe is just located upstairs of Kafe Bawang Merah, a Malay cafe which is also quite famous among Subang Folks. Heard that the owner of Bawang Merah and Upstairs are actually Father and Son btw!

It was a great dining experience. And a really good place to chill and hang out. =) Will be back soon to try out their full range of breakfast menu!

 Upon entering, we were greeted by the friendly staffs. The environment at upstairs cafe was very homey and welcoming. Upstairs Cafe was buzzing with activities- The sound of the coffee machine coupled with the chitter-chatter of the patrons, with jazz music playing in the background. We couldn't find a table that could fit all nine of us so we were forced to sit at the balcony area, which was actually a smoking zone.

 Upstairs Cafe practices the self service culture where customer would place their order and pay at the counter.

 Upstairs Cafe drinks menu! As you can see, their price is much lower than the conventional coffee shops such as Starbucks, Coffee Bean and so. Where else can you get a frap for RM9? =D

 Their Breakfast Menu! I was elated finally being able to try their breakfast food. All these while I had only been here for their cakes, coffee and pasta. =D
Their menu are all written on the chalk board as there's a different menu for dinner.

 Upstairs Cafe's Forte- CAKES
Believe it or not I actually tried ALL the cakes from Upstairs. And I'd say all of them are pretty darn good.
Especially their red velvet, hummingbird cake and chocolate brownies! So moist, fluffy and heavenly!

Our orders took quite a while to arrive as it was full house.

 Two sunny side up on a slice of toasted French Baguette, Two Chicken Sausages, Ham, Sauteed Mushroom, Roasted Cherry Tomatoes and Baked Beans. Comes with a glass of orange juice.
My friend's order. She wanted to order the Egg & Turkey but they ran out of poached egg. I presume due to the high demand off Egg Atlantic.

The sunny side up was very well done. The yolk was still runny, the flip side of the egg was crispy, like how a perfect sunny side-up should be. It was slightly seasoned with pepper and herb to further enhance its taste. The chicken sausage was really flavourful. The cherry tomatoes were roasted to perfection, bursting with sweetness as I take a bite. The only item I couldn't care less about is the hash brown. The hash brown is your typical MCD hash brown, except this version is slightly thicker with a crustier skin. My friend and I don't really like it as all we could taste is oil, oil, oil.

Chocolate Mint Brownie
2013-07-12 118 views
Chocolate Mint Brownie.....orgasm to mint and chocolate lovers. The mint was so strong that we could smell it when they served us. The whole block of brownie tasted really rich and minty. Its like biting on a Snicker's bar but better. A definite must try for mint and chocolate lovers. However, the portion is rather small, its about a finger's length. RM3.5 p/slice, rating 8/10.

We ordered the Red Velvet, since it was my new year's resolution to try all the available Red Velvets in Malaysia. So yeah.... The cake was quite good. It was moist and firm, not too sweet and not overdone with cream. The portion wasn't that big so I guess its okay for a light dessert. Its comparable to the Red Velvet from The Apartment. The price is RM8 p/slice, rating 7.4/10.

Upstairs cafe is located at SS12, Subang Jaya. If you do not know where is that, it is in the row of shops opposite Sime Darby Medical Centre which used to be called as Subang Jaya Medical Centre (SJMC). It is located above a restaurant selling malay food called Bawang Merah.The place is pretty small, and can't fit much people but the place is really cozy and a really nice place to hang out and have a cup of coffee or tea with a piece of cake.

 The place is pretty small, and can't fit much people but the place is really cozy and a really nice place to hang out and have a cup of coffee or tea with a piece of cake. According to my friend, she said the cafe doesn't open early. It opens around 3ish in the afternoon till night.

 This is their Red Velvet Cupcake, which I am not sure how much does it cost. Don't let the colour of the cake scare you, it really taste very yummy. It is actually a normal cupcake that is red in coloured topped with some cream cheese. The cake was so fluffy and moist and went really well with the cream cheese

 I actually went to Upstairs Cafe to try out this brownie [RM5.50] because my friend who recommended me to go there said their brownie was something to die for. They will heat up the brownie and then topped it with some whip cream and chocolate sauce before serving. Very very sinful but also so yummy. But it gets a little 'jelak' after eating a lot of it. I recommend to share it with a friend!

 This is their Cappuccino [RM7.00]. I am really not a big fan of coffee, I am more of a tea person. Honestly, I can't tell if a cup of coffee is good or not but according to Wei Hua it isn't so good. She has tasted better Cappuccino before like the one at Whisk's, Empire. But it goes quite well with the brownie because the brownie is sweet and the cappuccino without adding sugar is bitter.

Overall, I am really satisfied with their cakes but for their drinks, it can be improve. As for the pricing, it's quite affordable and a little cheaper compared to many cafes out there and I really like the ambience of the cafe
