The co-owner, Jason told us that they actually designed the entire place themselves. They have done a splendid job indeed because the moment I came in on that very Saturday, I was on a photo-taking frenzy! There was a rusty and old looking blue chest next to the door. Beside it, was a bar table with a guitar on top. 

There was also a bicycle in front of the shop which reminds me of Tous Le Jours' signature item. Naturally, I posed with the bicycle too. For me, no item on display shall be left unturned by my camera's lenses.

They use Coffee Man Roasters beans to make all the coffee here. We had the privilege to see Patrick, the barrista, at work. Patrick was so kind to oblige to my special request of making every single one of our coffee and even matcha come with unique design on the foam.
First up was my Cappucino (RM 9). The design on the foam is also quite special, something like those Indian flowers. The cappuccino is just nice. I could taste the coffee inside and there was not too much milk inside, which was like, thank god, since I hate milk.

My other friend, ordered the Flat White (RM 10) which to me, was like Valentine's Day in a cup. For coffee lovers like me, we love getting loved through our coffee.

Caffe Latte (RM 9) was also served in a yellow cup, this time in another special design, curvy and looks like Balinese design to me. It looks like leaf creating ripples in the water.

When the Hot Chocolate (RM 9) came with the world's cutest teddy bear on the foam, you could imagine the child in me was literally jumping with delight! The bear is so cute and reminds me of some cartoon or animation. 

The Coffee Bomb (RM 16) was the best of them due to the special frozen coffee which looks like a big bomb like a hiroshima bomb, in a glass. There was a small bottle of cold milk that comes with it. The entire bottom of the glass is made into a big dark bomb containing espresso and a chocolatey bottom. This ended up as my favourite coffee here due to the deep taste of coffee inside yet it is not as bitter as solely espresso.

Green Tea Latte (RM 10) finally arrived. At first I wondered what is it and after a while of staring, I realized is was Monster Inc.! Sorry couldn't blame me for being ignorant when it comes to cartoons as I am not real follower of cartoons! I was so happy that Patrick actually did the cartoon design to appease me due to, my longing to see the design on green tea latte, ever since I saw it done on the one at Strangers at 47 which is a few units away.

All the savoury items and food are made by Carol who is also the baker who makes all the cakes here by hand! Well, once you taste the food here, you can tell that she has done an amazing job!

Mushroom Chicken Pot Pie (RM 16) was the first main dish that came. I was delighted as it was my first choice off the menu. It consists of crispy pastry topping filled with warm and creamy sauce, savoury chicken, corn and mushroom.  It was my first time seeing Chicken Pot Pie done in a star design, I mean, how to design pies so creatively anyway?

After that bear delight, we were delighted even further by the Pizza of the Day (probably RM 19). For a person like me who is fussy on pizzas, this one has definitely made me really happy. According to Jason, Carol makes pizza with different toppings. I guess it goes with her feelings so it is kind of interesting this way rather than having a fixed menu all the time. This time round the pizza consists of turkey ham, capsicum, cheese and last but not least, Jason adds with a grin, LOVE. Love is the secret ingredient which makes any dish tasty and shall I say, supernatural? 

Whenever I see that a cafe menu contains Egg Benedict (RM 18), I could not help myself from ordering as it is one of my favourites. It turned out to be the best and comparable to another cafe which serves this too. The egg yolk oozes out like it was supposed to. There were slices of 3 tantalising turkey ham on top. I really like the way the chef has spread the sauce artfully around it. The price of RM 18 is well worth it.

Spicy Crivette Agio Olio (RM 26) is pan-fried spaghetti with fresh seafood, garlic, extra virgin oil and chilli flakes was simply satisfying. It was not too oily like what people normally do to olio spaghetti. The 2 big mussels and also prawns were amazing and so fresh. 

The Big Breakfast (RM 24.90) came after that. It came with a foot-long sausage, herb-mushrooms on top of french baguette, omelette, 2 pieces of turkey ham and also canned beans. The star item is the omelette, which was again, luckily, done the way I like it. It was soft and not overdone and too oily like how most people do it. I also liked the button mushrooms on the bruchetta which was cooked with herbs.
Yippee, it's finally dessert time! THE Tiramisu Cake (RM 16) arrived. For the first time in my life, I can safely say, I am addicted to this. This is due to the caramelized crushed almond and macadaemia which provide the crunch for every bite I took. I also liked the strong coffee taste which came from soaked espresso that formed the ingredients for the cake. 
The Macadaemia Cheese Cake (RM 14) was not bad. I liked the fact that the macadaemia on top was served whole instead of in pieces like how most businessmen like to cut cost. 

Finally, we were told they also have red and white wine sold here by the bottle. So this is not just a coffee cafe but it can easily be turned into a wine place. After all, wine and cheese cakes pair really well! There are also German beer and also Somerset Apple Cider which happened to be my favourite. 

I am definitely making a comeback for my Egg Benedict, Coffee Bomb, Heavenly Tiramisu and also Pizza of the Day. This is the perfect place to hang out with friends and family or also for organizing reunions and gatherings. Perfect for all occassions including photoshoots. If you like rustic and vintage environment, then you have landed yourself in the correct place. To top if off, spinning from the old records, the 1950s and vintage music are blasting softly. I was so happy to listen to my all-time favourite song, Cuando Cuando while sipping my cappuccino and thinking, what a fantastic way to kick off the day! 

Anyone should head here to chill and unwind after a long day at work. It is very tranquil and peaceful to sit by the glass window and enjoy the view of bamboo shoots opposite and also soaking the sights of passerbys in front of you.

Oh, and if you are too bored, you can chat with any of the affable barristas and who knows, he might make a beautiful design on your coffee specially for you! 

We were looking for Mei at Fatspoon restaurant but waze could not seem to find it. So finally I gave up. But dad said he did not want to eat at Japanese or Korean food whereby the restaurants were everywhere in Desa Sri Hartamas. So finally, we spotted this place called Pizza Brava Italian Restaurant. 

The owner is quite rich as he hires 11 pax of employees to cook and be waiters. 

I like the ambience which is cosy and cooling and relaxing. The pizzas are all cooked using Fire Wood which made it really delicious. I did not expect much ever since I tried the over burnt New York Pizza in Bangsar. So I was pleasantly surprised when the pizza was served. It is very crispy, fragrant even! I ordered the Casanova 10'' pizza (RM 19), with a hidden sly smile. Perhaps I am going to be Casanova, who knows? Haha....I initially though the portion might be too little but the cheese on top is the best I have ever eaten. 

We also ordered the Linguine Alla Brava (RM 22) which contains seafood, garlic, capers, olives, chillies, fresh tomatoes and basil. I do admit that the linguine is overcooked compared to the original Italian one but then again, I cannot complain much since most Malaysians' palate is this way.

The Filletto Di Manzo Funghi (RM 46) - grilled beef tenderloin is incredible. Dad orders it well done. There was not a tinge of oil on top of it or on the funghi. The Beef Tenderloin is so tasty, not too hard or harsh on the mouth, just the way I like it. The texture is so fantastic, and done just the way I like it. There was a rocket salad that came with cheese slices on top of it too. 

Nymph of the Nile tea (RM 7.50) served in a small thin pot is not bad, made of Egyptian and Persian ingredients with black tea. Not that fragrant but at least it still lasts for the second refill. It is good that they allowed me and mum to share the tea. Some places do not allow sharing for tea.

The iced lemon tea costs RM 4.50 but I always think it is healthier to drink tea without sugar. 

I felt that the portions here are a little small. So I couldn't help it to order dessert - Tartufo (RM 8) which was surprisingly reasonable. It is a ball fusion of chocolate and vanilla ice-cream with almonds and chocolate around it. I really like this ice-cream ball, which exceeds my expectation. 

Overall, the prices and service here is fantastic. In fact, I was surprised at such a reasonable for truly Italian pizza. I am definitely coming back again though the bill came up to :
Total:107
Service Charge : (10%) : RM 10.70
GST : 7.06
Total Inclusive GST : RM 124.76 

I never knew there is Kampachi Equatorial branch here at Jaya 33 till today. 

The environment is much better than the Kampachi I have ever known in Penang Equatorial Hotel. There are small pavillions that provide privacy for us. 

There were 2 bottles of red wine of the table. We ordered the one which supposedly has a sweeter taste-The Camelot Merlot. The ambience is very suitable for drinking wine. 

I ordered the Assorted Sashimi (RM 245) supposedly for 4-5 persons but  I finished the entire set alone. There are salmon sashimi, maguro, the freshest white tuna in the world etc. 

The other appetiser (about RM 45) we ordered was a fried lotus salad with salmon bits and also a lot of fresh lettuce, salad and cherry tomatoes. I really love the salad that I finished every morsel of it while my friend just looked on and didn't even eat much. She likes to order a lot and eat very little. The sashimi came with a choice of 2 words. It me also came with a selection of 3 sauces, be it, sweet or salty. I am checking halfway now. 

I felt funny that the waitress did not bring the tenderloin after so long. I later discovered that it was because they were waiting for us to finish those big appetizers. 

The wasabi here is also fresh, soft and etc.

The Beef Tenderloin (RM 123) was so tender. It also came in small bite-sizes so that it is easier for us to chew. It is the easiest beef to chew in the whole wide world. I totally love it so much. 

By the time I finished the last bite of beef, my tummy can no longer sustain any more dessert. 

If I had the money, I would come here once again. It was a fantastic evening altogether. 

We had a girls' night out this Saturday. After watching Cinderella at GSC, we went for lunch whereby another friend joined us. I chose this over another Taiwanese restaurant because the price seems more affordable and there are more items like lots of sidedishes.

2 of my friends ordered Kimchi Jjigae (pork) with rice. There is also korean glass noodles inside. I kind of like this soup the best compared to the rest of the kimchi soup. 

As for me, I ordered the Sam Gye Tang (half bird) for the cheapest price, RM 17.80, I have ever known.The Sam Gye Tang was not bad, almost like the one I had in Korea itself. The Korean ginseng does not have much ginseng taste like the Chinese version. The chicken is quite tender but not overly soft. There was also rice stuffed in the chicken. The overall dish was quite tasty.

One of my best friends' favourite dish is Doenjang Jjigae (RM 20.80). To me, it was too diluted I still preferred the Kimchi Jjigae. It has seafood like fake crabmeat and flower mushroom. 

The Toasted Rice Balls (RM 20.80) were the most unique. We needed to actually make our own rice balls before toasting them in the middle. It also probably had kimchi inside together with seaweed and some meat as my friend saw the meat inside when rolling it with her hands. 

My other best friend ordered the Bibim Naengmyeon (Beef)  (RM 19.80) which was not bad. It was rolled into a ball of noodles. The noodles looks like thin mee sua but of the harder version. 

As for my review of their side dishes, I would say that this is the first time that I would say that all the side dishes are fantastic. I like the lotus, eggplant (which was non-oily), kimchi (I am rarely crazy over kimchi this way). The green leafy vegetables were also so tasty and fresh. The bean sprouts was quite delicious and non-oily. The most special side dish is the kerang as korean restaurants never serve this as a side dish. 

The Korean Barley Tea (RM 3.80) was served in steel mugs which are also light. Quite ok but not that fragrant which I expected. 

The total overall price of RM 157.10 was quite reasonable for 5 pax. 

I have always had a bad impression of Food Talk ever since my friend told me the food there is not delicious. Anyway, since House of Tea was closed by the time I reached, I finally decided on Food Talk after a drive around. I did not want to drive my friend crazy with my food hunting attitude, yet. 

I ordered the Barcelona Chicken Chop (RM 18.90) which was fantastic, and way better than the  oily chicken chop at Secret Loc or any of the ones at Old Town. There were sausages and also cheese on top of the chicken chop which was quite unique. The only downside is that the white sauce on top of the chicken is too watery. Probably cannot expect much in an Asian-influenced restaurant selling Western food. Anyway, I even finished the criss-cut wedges which was a welcome change compared to other western dishes where they serve french fries of the normal KFC-type potato wedges. 

The Tester Drink (RM 8.90) which contains 6 test tubes of green, red and yellow drinks with tadpole eggs inside and a cube of red dragonfruit on top of each tube, were awesome and unique. Not only does it look extraordinary but the taste of the drinks were fantastic too. 

My friend ordered normal Honey Brown Rice Tea (RM 5.90) as he was afraid of getting food poisoining from drinking the Testers. I forced him to try Tester and he was so sceptical about it. 

They have an smoking zone so when one goes to the washroom, you would smell an awful lot of smoke. The place was so full that you have to wait a while for a table inside the air-conditioned area. There were also board games like Jenga etc for you to play with your friends. 

The prices of food here is also very affordable which explains for the big crowd here and there weren't many available seats and tables.
