Korean culture has invaded our daily life and hence we can notice the booming of Korean restaurant in our country. Story café, located at Taman Connaught Cheras, a restaurant that owned by Koreans, I’m sure they will serve you pretty authentic Korean cuisines and get your craving fix.

The café has nice and warm ambience, with Korean pop songs playing on the background. You can choose to sit down enjoy watching kpop mv, squeeze into a coach to relax, or opt for outdoor seat to enjoy the beaming of sunlight.

Talking about their food, they serve you huge selection of wallet-friendly Korean cuisine, including bingsu, fried chicken, bibimbap, kimbap and many more.Kimbap, which is seaweed rice roll. Steamed white rice stuffed with pickled radish, egg, vegetables and cheese, wrapped with dried seaweed and served in bite-size slices. I’ve eaten tasteless kimbap from other restaurant but the kimbap here didn’t fail on me.

I love the combination of chewy rice with seaweed, the pickled vegetables add extra crunchiness and the cheese makes the kimbap really flavorful.
Just gulp down the whole piece into your mouth and continue to crave for more!Their kimchi fried rice tastes piquant as well. Topped with a sunny side up, the kimchi fried rice has the simplest ingredients but awesome taste. The texture of the rice is just right, not too moist but not too dry, the kimchi adds some spiciness into the rice and it spices up your meal.For drinks, I tried their Korean Plum Tea, which was pretty good. Ice cold tea with a hint of sourness, super refreshing, exactly what we need on a hot afternoon to quench our thirst.

If you are a fan of Korean culture or you have some time to spare, this is the place that you wouldn’t want to miss. You can find scrumptious Korean cuisine here at the same time enjoying the top hit kpop songs.

Secret Loc, a brightly-lit and yet spacious restaurant located at Kuchai Lama, serves you western dishes such as pasta and breakfast set, as well as Hong Kong style cuisines such as dim sum and stir-fried hor fun.Hokkien style fried Udon. It’s served with fresh prawns, squid, fish paste, vegetables and a generous amount of pork lard sprinkle on top. Udon is stir-fried with black soy sauce, the saltiness is just right.

Initially, there’s nothing to shout about the udon, however if you eat them together with pork lards, it will give you an “oomph”, the dish becomes super flavorful and it will get you hooked. In another words, crispy and oily pork lard is the highlight of the dish. It might sounds unhealthy but once in awhile should be alright isn’t?Their prawn mee failed to meet our expectation though. The mee is kinda tasteless and we have no choice but to ask for a small plate of sambal to go with the mee. However, the portion is huge as it comes with fish pastes, hard-boiled egg, kangkung and prawns. The prawns are really fresh but fail to absorb the soup of the mee.Mushroom soup is really creamy and rich in flavor. You will be able to find a lot of mushrooms inside the soup. Their garlic bread tastes good as well. Even if you dip the bread into the soup, you can still taste the fragrance of the garlic. Every bite is really crispy and satisfying.

There are singers performing on the stage while people enjoying their food. If you want to have a nice catch up with friends, I would suggest you to sit outdoor so that your conversation wouldn’t be interrupted by the singing performance.

Even though the café is not located at the main road, Plat Kitchen still draws many café-hoppers to drop by and have a sip of coffee.

Upon entering, you will be attracted by their unique interiors. Navy blue is their main decoration color and almost every spot over there is photo-worthy.They serve a wide range of food in their menu, ranging from pasta,desserts,breakfast set, sandwiches and many more! Besides typical coffee, they offer an array of milkshake, chocolate drinks and tea as well.As an ultimate fan of matcha, I went for their sizzling matcha brownie. A piece of matcha brownie is served on a sizzling hot plate, topped with a scoop of ice cream and biscuit. The staff then poured one small cup of matcha sauce over the dessert, and you can enjoy the “sizzling” sound while letting your brownie to slowly absorb the sauce.

The matcha brownie was a bit overrated. The brownie turned out to be a bit dry, it would be better if it has moisture-er texture. Sweetness was just right, the sauce can be more matcha-ish to create a heavier taste of matcha.

Besides, I ordered their matcha latte as well. The latte was super rich and have strong flavour of matcha, it tasted really silky. The price is reasonable for a rich latte like this.You will be able to enjoy serenity here during weekdays, where a few tables are occupied by the patrons, chatting over their daily lifes and random thoughts. Indeed an ideal place for you to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Melaka raya, a town center where tons of eateries are located here, ranging from high-rave café, restaurant and local mamak which will cause you facing dilemma to choose. How about sparing a morning and enjoy an authentic piece of roti canai?This shop is indeed a hidden gem in the town and yes, you might doubt that do they really sell roti canai here, given that “otak otak” is written on the sign board of the store front.
Though it looks like a Chinese kopitiam, but this place draws lots of local patrons early in the morning to get their roti canai cravings fix.Their specialty would be their roti telur cheese. Fluffy dough with egg and generous amount of cheese stuffed inside, simple ingredients and it would be the best local breakfast to kick starts your day.

It’s super cheesy for every bite. Not the crispy type of roti canai but fluffy and chewy. I would recommend you to request for their curry sauce and dip the roti canai into the milky curry sauce to complete your meal.Look at how much cheese is being stuffed inside! Expect to leave here with a bloated tummy!

If cheese is not your thing, you can go for their other options including roti telur, roti bawang or even the simplest roti kosong. While flipping over the newspaper, enjoying your favorite piece of roti canai with a cup of teh tarik, here go the perfect combination for a morning breakfast.

Li restaurant, hidden among the shops besides Atria Mall at Damansara Jaya, a newly opened café owned by a group of passionate youngsters that serve quality dishes.

You can hardly notice this restaurant as they only have a small sigh board on their storefront. Upon entering, you will be greeted by their minimalistic decorations, mainly black and white in color. Everything is simple but nice.This brightly-lit restaurant has huge windows that allow you to enjoy natural lighting while dining, which is suitable for working purpose as well.I love how simple their menu is. Nothing fancy but clearly describe every dishes. They serve special lunch set from 12pm to 230 pm, you can get their daily specials, a dessert and a house drink at RM16.90. The price is pretty affordable!Their daily specials, the hakka-inspired pasta with slow cooked pork. Drizzle with sesame oil, comes with scallion, cured egg yolk and homemade pickled chilies. Though it’s pasta but it’s more like a fusion of western dish and eastern dish. You can rarely find pasta serves with scallion and pickled chilies but they mix them together creatively.

The pasta is good, pickled chilies make it taste extra flavorful. The shredded pock meats are very tender and juicy as well.This pork toast is definitely their highlight. It’s serves with sesame seed, chili mayo and cilantro. They made their own toast and the brownish color toast is super crispy. The pork is slightly moist and it matches perfectly with the crunchy toast. With chili mayo as the dressing, this pork toast hit us with a bang after the first bite. The fragrance of the pork meat will linger in your mouth and makes you crave for more.This is their off-menu dish; gemelli (spiral pasta) serves with mushroom vegetable ragout, sourdough crumbs and onsen egg. The texture of the gemelli is good and chewy; it has stronger flavor compares to the previous pasta. Remember to ask for their hidden menu and be awed by their secret dishes.Lychee dessert that comes together with their lunch set. Coconut milk drizzles on the shave ice, comes with meringue and lime granita. The combination is unique but the taste of lime granita has overpowered the lychee. Refreshing but it’s a bit too sour for my liking.They serve good coffee as well. Pretty coffee art and the aromatic coffee give you the optimum pleasure while drinking.

The choices of their dishes are limited as the restaurant is opened not long ago. However, they will be slowing expanding their menu in future to bring you more surprise. Enjoy your afternoon here with their unique dishes, with soft music playing on the background; it’s indeed a pure indulgence.
