Great American comfort food! Smile Jun 03, 2015   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Western variety | Restaurant | Burgers / Sandwiches

My group of friends and I chanced upon Johnny Rockets and I haven't had it since I left the US, so I decided to give it a try.

1. Chicken Melt Sandwich 15ringgit

 
Okay, I was a bit surprised to learn that it wasn't a sandwich flooded with cheese and pressed on a sandwich press. In fact, it took me awhile to find the small slice of swiss cheese in my sandwich. On the bright side, there was one large onion ring, a load of barbecue sauce sauce and a tender piece of chicken. The whole sandwich itself was too much for me to eat. So I ate half and my friend took care of the other half. These are the typical large portions you would find at any American dinner!

2. Oreo Milkshake 13.90ringgit

 
It was more of a ice cream waiting to be melted into a milkshake, the second metal cup was about 1/4 full with the remaining portion of the milkshake. It wasn't the best milkshake I had, but it was okay. I would still think steak and shake 2-3USD milkshakes would beat this hands down!

 
This was my friend's burger, who told me it was very very good!

 
The dining area, there was ample space for big groups of customers

 
Here is the menu.

The staff were very friendly and polite, happily greeting everyone that walked past the shop, customer or not.

Best tasting beef noodles!! Smile May 18, 2015   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Malaysian variety | Restaurant | Halal

 
Located pretty close to the high way exit is this infamous beef noodles, that I travelled all the way from Singapore to try! It was a saturday morning around 930am and it seemed pretty quiet, not many customers, and though there are quite a number of newspaper clippings, this coffee shop seemed like a normal looking coffee shop. Nothing too fanciful that made it stand out from the neighbouring shops. It has a very old school feel to it, probably because this shop has been here for decades!

 
Straight away, when you walk into the coffee shop, you can smell the sweet scent of beef and the broth. That's because there is a giant pot boiling right at the entrance. You can see the chunks of meat, herbs and even bones. A very welcoming sight indeed!

 
I love kway teow so I ordered my bowl with kway teow, you can choose between bee hoon, yellow mee, mee pok, and kway teow. The first thing you will notice is that they are fried onions on the bowl, which were very crispy. The second thing you will notice are the numerous chunks of beef and innards. I was quite surprised that there was so much "liao" aka ingredients. We definitely don't get so much "liao" in a bowl of beef noodles in Singapore. The shop here is very generous!
Kway teow

The soup was so tasty! And yet I didn't feel thirsty after the meal, the soup is refillable, and I couldn't resist ordering a second bowl. I'm so greedy, but it was definitely the best bowl of beef noodles I have ever eaten!!

 
After the meal, I walked to the back of the shop to use the wash basin and noticed the staff fishing out huge bones from the boiling broth. Wow! Now I know why the soup is so tasty! It's legit bones, herbs and meat that spends hours broiling to give you that unforgettable beef noodle soup!
Supplementary Information:
If you cannot eat beef for religious reasons, you can still ask for a small bowl of noodles and soup without any meat.

Drink a Selfie Coffee!! Smile May 18, 2015   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Western variety | Café | Sweets/Snack

 
So everyone is familiar with using your front facing camera to take a selfie! But what about a selfie coffee? Originating from Penang, Selfie Coffee is the first coffee in Malaysia that allows you to snap photos of yourself and get it printed onto the foam of a drink!

 
This signboard outside the shop says it all! You might find it strange at first, but it's quite a lot of fun!

 
The interior of the shop is pretty simplistic, with fake grass plastered on the walls which has lots of power points. I guess the shop doesn't mind if you use their power points to charge an iphone. They also have free wifi! We had trouble connecting to it and it was rather slow. But it was a full house on a friday night at 11pm. Yes they open till midnight on friday!

 
Here is their cake display, what stood out to me was the mascarpone green tea cake. I only use mascarpone for Tiramisu cakes so I had to try that and of course the infamous rainbow cake. I cannot resist a rainbow cake when I see one!

1. Rainbow Cake 10.90RM+

 
The colours of this rainbow cake is so bright and pretty. The cake tasted moist and the butter cream was very lightly layered in between the sponges, so it did not taste sweet. However the top and side layers of the chocolate rice was abit hard and for kids, they will love it. But to me, it didn't add any benefits to the rainbow cake. Maybe they should've just stuck with the normal butter cream around the cake? Nonetheless, still a great tasting and good looking rainbow cake!

2. Green Tea Mascarpone cake 9.90RM+

 
I loved the red bean layers in this cake, you can also distinctively taste the green tea and also the mascarpone. I am in love with this cake and I'm definitely getting a slice of this everytime I go there!

 
I also liked that they decorated the plates with chocolate sauce smile At the same time, they also use it to write the table number so that the food gets delivered to the right tables.

3. Original Belgian Waffle 4.90RM+

 
It strangely tasted very salty and though I've tasted salty waffles, that's usually because the waffle is served with ice cream or something that helps offset the saltiness. However, since this was a plain waffle with chocolate sauce drizzle and some whipped cream topping, the waffle just tasted overly salty. The corners of the waffle were crispy but the rest of the waffle was so "cake-like", I wouldn't call it fluffy. I could almost close my eyes and think that I was eating a dense butter sponge cake. This is definitely my first time tasting such a waffle. Maybe they should consider having an ice cream topping for their waffles instead.

The waffle options they had were :
1. Original
2. Chocolate
3. Banana
4. Strawberry
5. Mango
6. Honeydew
7. Green tea 

4. Hot Salted Caramel 13.00RM+

 
Even though we ordered it hot, it came pretty cold. Like room temperature, it wasn't even a little bit warm. So we asked for another cup and the owner apologised and politely feedbacked to the kitchen staff. Our second cup was warmer, but still nowhere as warm as the word "warm" means to anyone. I would still deem it as cold. It tasted ok, I couldn't taste the salt. Reminds me of a Skinny Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks.

5. Selfie Coffee 13.00RM+

 
We waited about 20 minutes, during which we ate our cakes, waffle and salted caramel drink, before we were ushered into the photo booth. You can take a few photos and choose your favourite photo. Then after which, you wait another 5-10 minutes for your drink. I must say, the printer foam dpi is pretty damn good, cause it's pretty sharp!

 
So it looks good! Does it taste good? Yes! It tastes exactly how an iced matcha latte should taste like!! I enjoyed my drink, if only their hot drinks were somewhat close to being hot, I would definitely vote this as the best cafe in JB!50RM for 2 cakes, 2 drinks and a waffle, pretty pricey I think for a JB cafe, but reasonable for the the fact that it would cost twice as much in Singapore!

Service was very good throughout the whole time there, when we needed more white board markers because our marker ran out of ink, there were staff to help us grab more markers. The tables are glass and so they're pretty much a white board, which you can doodle on. A great idea, considering there would be a bottleneck of customers waiting to go into the photo booth.

The owner himself, a young chap was open to feedback and was very polite and friendly. I do hope they continue to expand their menu and possibly do a selfie rainbow cake! That would be awesome!

Supplementary Information:
Free wifi, free electricity for laptops/phone charges and there is a 6% GST charge on all items.

Located just across the Petronas Towers is this mamak that is opened 24 hours. We visited on a Sunday at 1030am and there were a lot of customers, including a street bike gang!
Parkin is readily available along the streets, adjacent to the mamak.

 

I got a mango lassi 6RM to cool myself down on a super hot day! It was slightly sour but I was okay with that! I would rather have a slightly sour one than one that was overdosed with sugar syrup! At least I know that this was authentic mango! 

 

The Prata here is awesome! Super cridpy and the kaya was thinly spread in the roti prata. It was quite sweet and my sensitive teeth wasn't too happy with it! The dhal curry wasn't that fantastic.

 

Kway Teow goreng is damn Shiok! A lot of wok Hei! This was supposedly the drier version, which they will ask you which kind you want. Even though this is the drier version, it was still drenched in oil. I did enjoy this calorie laden dish! Definitely getting this again the next time I visit KL!

 

The nasi Ayam goreng was also great, the rice was slightly charred too! For 22.80RM for 2 pax, it was reasonably priced to me! smile and you can also enjoy a great view of the KL iconic landmark at the same time!

Great brunch place! Smile Mar 28, 2015

Categories : Western variety | Café | Sweets/Snack

 

Facing the main road, near Neo damanura is the metal box!

 

The interior is quite spacious, and it wasn't crowded on a Saturday at 1130am. There are glass bottles of water on the table for yourself to help yourself to the water.

 

Here is their menu. They have a decent variety of food to choose from.

 

There are also c ales at the cashier, all looked so good! And they were said to be made from scratch, in house!

 

I got the speciality French toast and for 15.90rm I felt that it was reasonably priced. It was very filling as it was made of nest in. I could only eat two slices. The gula Melaka was an interesting addition To the French toast.

 

Usually most hipster cafes will serve this with honey but not the metal box! 

 

Here is our breakfast spread.

 

The flat white was decent but nothing to rave about. They also have free wifi.. The password is the metalrocket.

 

And this was the bill for the brunch smile
