L'esprezzo By The Loaf OK May 24, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Western variety | Café | Bakery / Cake / Kuih

 
L'esprezzo, operated by The Loaf bakery-cafe chain as part of its bid to capitalize on the Klang Valley's spiraling demand for better-tasting coffee.

 
L'esprezzo taps the services of Barista Guild Asia industry trainers & relies on single-origin beans, combined for a signature blend of Brazilian & Colombian that was available for this visit, to keep standards relatively high.

 
Try the tasty 'Cube60c' (RM12), featuring frozen espresso cubes poured over with hot milk in perfect proportions, for satisfying caffeine-dairy synergy.

 
'Artisan sandwiches' are listed on the menu, apparently exclusive to L'esprezzo to keep the brand distinct from branches of The Loaf. Choices include chicken wraps with feta cheese, red onions, lettuce & tzatziki sauce (RM22).

 
Regular pastries are offered too. L'esprezzo is likely to open its next branch at a Cheras mall.

Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant OK May 21, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Chinese | Hotel Dining | Seafood | Dim sum

 
Si Chuan Dou Hua, the Parkroyal hotel's Sichuan-&-Cantonese restaurant, serves lunch & dinner everyday with several crowd-pleasers in store.

 
Customers can order from a roughly 60-dish selection that looks promising on paper, featuring plenty of prawns in kataifi pastry wrap.

 
Roast chicken. Patrons should probably request dark meat, since the breast & wings provided here border dangerously on dryness.

 
More prawns, steamed this time.

 
Fish of the evening, with hot bean sauce. Could have been fresher & less muddy-tasting.

 
Ending with more prawns with cashews & chili. Each ends up being less than memorable though, whipped up with competence but little complexity or flair.

Talent Lounge Smile May 21, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Western variety | Café | Pizza/Pasta | Steaks / Chops | Burgers / Sandwiches | Desserts

 
Talent rises to the top: Launched this past month at Damansara Perdana, Talent Lounge is a place that's difficult to define but easy to recommend, thanks to its cool concept, welcoming setting, friendly people & satisfying food.

 
Food is what we're focused on here; on that note, Talent Lounge's cafe delivers, with Sarawak-born chef Shaik Rhyszard (formerly of Mukha) commanding a kitchen that specializes in nutritious favorites _ like this combo of smoked salmon & quinoa (RM23) _ tackled with skill.

 
Poached eggs with alfalfa sprouts & hollandaise sauce over spinach (RM18), also pure pleasure. Other potential highlights on the all-day-breakfast menu include pancakes & French toast (customers can choose a savory version with beef bacon & mozzarella cheese or a sweet sensation with honey & homemade jam).

 
Many thanks to Talent Lounge's event manager Azlan for inviting us here; these baked eggs (RM18), creamy with ratatouille & coupled with rye bread, proved a very pleasant breakfast, exactly the kind of food that helps to boost our spirits.

 
Snacks include what's simply & deceptively labeled 'chicken wings' (RM12) on the menu. What emerges is more interesting, glazed in stickiness with an unexpected kick (it's mustard!) & with crispy breadcrumbs for extra texture. Sandwiches, pastas, burgers & meat & fish mains are also available; it's a full-on, something-for-everyone menu.

 
Italian coffee is currently served; expect Ethiopian single-origin to be considered in the future.

 
Finally, affogato, with a fun surprise: Pillowy-sweet Turkish Delight on the side.

Jam & Kaya Cafe Smile May 21, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Western variety | Café | Desserts

 
Jam & Kaya brings the Klang Valley's best year yet for independent cafes to a triumphant close; visiting this winsome venue is a potent reminder to value the people who pour their hearts into creating these places. Dismissing these cafes without knowing their stories is blatant disrespect.

 
Brunches are a treat here; the Eggs Royale (RM21) feature irresistibly delicious poached eggs, resting atop thick slices of smoked salmon & crisp leaves in a croissant.

 
Available through 5pm, so late risers like us can mercifully still have breakfast for lunch.

 
The menu remains a work in progress, but it's excellent to see these baked eggs that borrow inspiration from the Tunisian-origin recipe of 'shakshouka' ...

 
... creamy with a thick, tomato-rich base that conceals soft chunks of eggplant. RM18.90. Dinner specials include chicken ballotine, beef stew with potatoes & salmon with couscous.

 
Pancakes are a pleasure here: try the one with salted caramel & macadamia nuts (RM16.50). Other varieties come with caramelized bananas & yes, even jam & kaya.

 
Save space for dessert; these babies are a star attraction in their own right.

 
Praline cheesecake, very rich, sumptuously smooth. Gotta try the tarts next time.

 
Coffee's constructed with Colombian beans; not a bad latte, definitely.

 
Love the hot chocolate here, mixed with tiny, crispy chocolate balls for extra enjoyment.

Lucy In The Sky OK May 21, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Western variety | Café | Burgers / Sandwiches

 
KL's former High Street won't run low on caffeine, thanks to Lucy In The Sky, a newbie on the fringe of Chinatown that's set to soar in the popularity stakes

 
Breakfast is served: Lucy is the latest place where people can customize their brunch platters, choosing three items for RM12.90 & adding RM3 for every extra selection.

 
Lucy In The Sky promises relatively healthy cooking, relying on organic ingredients whenever possible. But that's not necessarily meant to provide customers with carte blanche to overdose on four preparations of eggs in one sitting: poached, scrambled, sunny-side-up & over-easy ...

 
... even if the eggs are partnered with deliciously nutritious lentils & buttered corn. Other possibilities for this plate include chicken sausages, sauteed mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, onions & hash browns.

 
Other options: French toast made with Hailam bread (RM10), pancakes paired with raw honey (RM8.90), plus cream of cauliflower, pumpkin or mushroom soup with muesli bread (RM10.90).

Lucy's coffee, constructed with Arabica beans, should please. Praise outpaces complaints here.
