I was in a mood for tea break, so I walk over Pavilion and want to have a look at this newly open luxury tea cafe, TWG, from Singapore.
I was very excited actually, as I always love tea and I missed out my chance to try it during my previous trip in Singapore.
Then I was quite upset when I met up one of the staff in the tea boutique. I think I am too sensitive but what the staff did really spoiled my mood. However, I still went on with my plan and ask for a single seat in the cafe.As I am going alone, I only ordered one 1837 Tea set, which I think will be sufficient for me as it comes with 2 scones or 1 muffin or 1 pastry and a pot of tea (select from tea menu).
The very friendly waiter was not familiar with their menu yet, he made me confuse about the tea set selection, he told me I can get scones AND muffin AND PASTRY with the set I chose. @.@" But it is ok, it is a new shop, they need more training I guess. He suggested "Silvermoon" tea to me and I took his suggestion. Silvermoon is a korean green tea with strawberry and vanilla flavor (what he told me).The scones come with cream and tea jelly, the tea jelly taste really special and match the scones very well. I finished up one and a half scones on my own. These are the cakes that they display near the entrance of the tea boutique. I was snapping this photo when the waitress is talking to another customer, and she turned around and told me that I am not supposed to take picture of the cakes. I felt embarrassing so I apologized and kept my phone (ya I was taking photo with my iphone) but I saw she showed a kind of face expression that I thought is kinda impolite when she turn back to the person she was talking to. I thought I was thinking too much, too sensitive, but that still made me feel bad. The cakes are beautiful so I snap a photo with my iphone without asking permission (they didn't put any signboard that mentioned we are not allow to snap photo anyway), but she should just remind me about it, not making face behind my back. Maybe she is making face on another topic, not about me, but yea, I misunderstood already, and i was very unhappy.

However, the tea is really good, and I love the scones too, it made up my afternoon. I also bought a pack of tea leaf home so that I can enjoy the tea at home without ppl hurting my little sensitive heart. =p
Just sharing my two cent, I personally think that every staff should assume that anyone who walk in their shop area is a potential customer.

Passby this shop several time but never walk in because I personally dislike fried stuff.
Give it a chance one afternoon because I am quite bored with the normal lunch selection in Pavilion already.
I am glad I gave it a chance, i love it!A set which come with rice (refillable), tofu, miso soup, cabbage (refillable) and the fried pork dish.although the pork is fried to golden crunchy, the inner layer is not dried up, still tender and juicy!!! and it is not oily because they did put a steel stand to let the oil drip down to the plate, not absorb back in the meat. very nice.
I love the cabbage!
One more special thing in this restaurant is you can mix your own sesame sauce for your tonkatsu! the waitress will help you up if you dunno how.

not a very affordable lunch but the portion is big, with the refillable rice and cabbage, you can definitely get a very full lunch.

New Japanese Ramen stall in town! located inside publika, will need some time to find it, i always lost in publika!this is one of the MUST-ORDER dish! they use "kampung chicken" for this this, the fried chicken is SO tender and juicy and not oily at all! I love to deep it in the japanese mayonese, taste really GOOD!gyoza is one of their famous dish. the Mukashi Special Ramen is their top seller as well.
The soup is boiled with pork bone till milky color, taste good!Spicy Tobanjan Ramen is good for those who love spicy, the tobanjan is separated in another plate, you can add it in your bowl according to the spiciness level that you can accept. kimchi ramen, i love kimchi! which is why i order this! the soup is basically the same, only the item on top is different.

Also, my favorite is actually the Miso Ramen! taste really really good I can't stop myself on bottoms-up the soup. LOL

The price is better when compare to other ramen shop which is from Japan too, definitely will visit again soon!

A new dessert store in town, all the way from Turkey!Located just beside Sg Wang.various flavor of turkish ice cream, all made from goat milk! Cay Tea, traditional tea from Turkey. Not bad. best if you are having sweet ice cream, drink this the mild up the sweetness in your mouth.four scoops. we had honey (super sweet), strawberry (a bit sour but still sweet), hazelnut and the original goat milk vanilla flavor. I love the original one the most!ice cream on plate, have to eat it with fork and knife! it won't melt fast so you can slowly enjoy it. the pastry beside are traditional turkish dessert pasrty, love the baklavas (the puff thing) the most! the dolama (green sausage made from Pistachio) is too sweet for me.
the Pistachio ice cream slice are very special, I do not know how to describe the taste but it is definitely something different. However, I must say I love the original flavor the most!

other than those very very sweet ice cream, Mado Cafe also serve some sweet dessert like waffles and parfaits, also some turkish dishes. The price are on high range though.

The Troika, a new luxury residences in KL area, it is located just behind Inter Continental Hotel.
On the ground floor there is a beautiful cafe as well, Acme Bar & Coffee.
I went there on a saturday morning to have my brunch and a little "me" time, doing some reading and enjoying the sunshine.not difficult to find this place. if you are taking public transport like me, stop at Ampang Park LRT station, go to intercontinental hotel/citibank direction, walk in jalan binjai, and you will see it soon, the Troika. The cafe is located at the ground floor of the building.loft design interior. LOVE those huge french window, give natural lighting to the whole cafe. I chose a seat beside the window, enjoy the sunlight!every table get complimentary water in a brown glass bottle. lovely.My tea, very expensive tea I will say. but the packaging is very pretty! It's the first time I have Tea Forte's tea too. my brunch. waited quite long for the dish to be served.
In this cafe you can easily find smoked duck dishes. Kinda salty due to the cheese and smoked duck but the thick tomato slices in it make it better.

The food here is kinda on a high price range (especially the tea!), but the environment is one of the best in KL! and I notice that they have sunday brunch buffet as well. those who love to eat more on holiday can opt for that.
