Delicious Pork Burger Smile Jan 18, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Western variety | Bar & Pub | Burgers / Sandwiches

Boyfriend & I were craving for burgers to make up for the large amount of calorie burned in the day time, and we wanted to try out something new. A simple google search brought us to this new burger joint located in the foodie-place-saturated, SS15.

 
Cowboy Burger! Cowboy Burger is located at the same row as Home Made Fish Head Noodle Shop (Diagonally Opposite Gastro Cafe). It was easy to be spot thanks to its bright red signage.

 
The restaurant was really dimly lit, giving it a mysterious feel, I didn't know what to expect (other than burgers lol). It was 9pm but the cafe was abuzz with activities. We decided to sit at one of the tall round table as it sort of reminds me of a saloon bar in a cowboy movie =D. The interior was rather simple & minimal, with some Western Cowboy elements incorporated into it.

 
Like the walls- Wanted sign & wooden plank wall wallpaper plastered all over it. Perhaps it's for the shop to paste the faces of people who attempted to skip the bill? =b

 
And their little Maneki Neko, wearing an oversize cowboy hat.

Pork Burgers, Beef Burgers, Chicken Burgers, and even Vegetarian Burgers! The myriad selection of burgers was impressive! Besides that if burgers aren't your "thing" you could order the hot dogs or main dishes such as pasta, fish & chips & so much more!

All their burgers come with a side of French Fries & Salad! =)

 
Mushroom Piggy Burger RM14.80
Char-grilled Pork Patties topped with melted Cheddar, sauteed mushrooms & creamy mushroom sauce.

Just look at the generous toppings of the burger! I was "forced" to use the cutleries as it'd be too messy if I used my hands.

I started off from the mushroom. The mushroom were perfectly sauteed in cream sauce. Creamy & juicy, I thought that the mushroom could be a perfect side dish on its own.
Further dissection leads to the juicy & well-seasoned pork patty. Infused with the melted cheddar & creamy mushroom sauce, the patty was literally bursting with flavour.

 
Their Thick-Cut Fries, were superb. It was perfectly seasoned with herbs & spice. It was really addictive, and I actually finished all the fries, which was something not so common for me, unless the fries are super good OR its burger lab's.

However, the fries were tad salty. We told the boss about it when he asked for our feedback. He apologized sincerely and explained that they tossed their fries for seasoning in the same bowl for the whole night so the saltiness got a little too intense at the end of the night.

Their homemade orange sauce deserves a credit too. It was actually Wasabi Mayo sauce! The taste of wasabi, infused with the tangy mayo, and furthered seasoned with herbs & spice, minus the after effect of "spiciness-rushing-to-nose". The sauce complements the fries perfectly and I finished it till the very last drop =)

 
Signature Piggy Burger RM18.80
Char-grilled Pork Patty, topped with Natural Cheddar Cheese, Fried Eggs, Home-made Black Pepper Bacon, Grilled Tomatoes, Leafy Greens & drenched in their cowboy classic sauce.

One word. AMAZING.

For the price paid, I think this burger was really worth it as the ingredients & topping were really generous. The condiments & fillings just came together so perfectly. One bite and I was mesmerized. The chewy & savoury bacon, the juicy pork patty infused with creamy cheddar & their signature sauce, awesome fried egg, and leafy green to keep the whole burger well-balanced- this burger is the bomb.

Overall Rating: 8/10
Their Pork Patty is certainly one of the best I've ever tried. Service was pleasant & inviting, the waiters & boss always have their smiles on. Cowboy Burger is definitely a place where I'd be returning soon!

Photography. It captures moments, & create an everlasting memory. Photography is certainly one of the most common hobbies nowadays, and various photography shops have been emerging in every nook and cranny in the Klang Valley to quench the thirst of photography enthusiast. Take this shop selling polaroid camera in Sunway Pyramid Asian Avenue for example. Well, the shop has a cafe cum camera workshop at Kota Damansara !

 
Being a food junkie & a photography wannabe, I dragged a friend to try out this cafe on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

 
Situated on the first & second floor of one of the shop lots in Kota Damansara, Photo Craft The Cafe curbs their patrons hunger pangs on the first floor, while the second floor is tailored to cater photography enthusiast.

 
As you walk up the stairs, random lomo snapshots were seen hanging around, ushering you up the stairs. One will certainly be delighted as you step into the shop. The ambient, the decorations, what's there not to love in this cafe?

Cappuccino RM9.90
The cappuccino was decent. Though not really remarkable, it tasted fine for me and definitely no complains.

 
Photography enthusiast will definitely be pleased- Polaroid Cameras, accessories, Camera pouchs & so much more!

 
Overall, Photocrafts is a good place to hang out, especially for those who are in to photography, or one who appreciates lovely decorations. Can't really give a rating as a whole as I'd only tried their coffee.

Ahhhh....espressolab. My first love. (In Coffee). It was love at first sight when my dad brought me to one of their pioneer outlets at e@Curve. I could still remember my feeling when I had my first sip of espressolab's coffee vividly.

 
Fast forward to the present, espressolab has expanded with new outlets spanning across leading shopping malls in Klang Valley. And the nearest lab to my house is located conveniently in Empire Shopping Gallery.

 
Their little makeshift store is located on the second floor, in between Madam Kwan & Sasa. It is almost impossible to miss it as you'll be greeted with an aromatic whiff of coffee smell as you go up the escalator from the first to the second floor.

 
Espressolab simple & minimalist sitting area- you get to choose to sit on the comfy sofas or the wooden chairs. Like other coffee place, espressolab practices the self-service culture.

 
Mocha RM14 (after discount RM11.20)
It's quite a rare case for me to go for a cup of Mocha, as I am more of a Americano/Cappuccino person. Mocha is my emergency calm-me-down drink whenever I'm in a bad mood.

 
The chocolate was rich & intense, sweetness just right, not too sweet nor not too bland. Foam was frothy & smooth. Coffee was perfect.
I'm sold.

Gelato<3 Smile Dec 15, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Italian | Stall / Warung | Ice Cream / Froyo / Gelato

 
Stickhouse, hailed all the way from Italy, carries a new innovative healthy gelato concept which suits my agenda of trying to eat clean =b Why so? Because Stickhouse Gelato are produced using only natural & genuine ingredients without the addition of artificial flavouring, colouring or preservative.

Stickhouse serves up to 20 flavours in Malaysia, with seasonal flavour popping out time to time.

Apart from the usage of healthy ingredients, the technique Stickhouse uses in the production of their gelato also makes a huge difference too. Most ice-cream manufacture adds air to increase the volume of their frozen dessert. In fact, the air added into ice-cream can go up to a whopping 120%! The quality and natural flavours of the frozen desserts are deteriorate, as a result.

Stickhouse Gelato are produced using a slower churning method. The gelatos only have an average of 25% air resulting in a creamier & denser texture of ice-cream. The churning method also ensures that the natural flavours of the gelato are retained ;)

 
Seems so tempting right? We were given the privilege to try out any flavours we wanted! lol

After you've picked your gelato flavour, pick your desired chocolate dip and toppings!

Chocolate dip :
- Dark chocolate
- Milk chocolate
- White chocolate

Nut toppings :
- Almond
- Pistachio
- Chocrice
- Hazelnut

The pricing for the toppings is RM3 for full dip/coat, and RM1.50 for half dip/coat.

 
Weight watchers & health-conscious ones, don't fret! As Stickhouse only uses high quality chocolate which are deemed a "heart friend" due to its ability to keep your cardiovascular system healthy!

 
Yogurt, coated with a layer of Milk Chocolate & Hazelnuts
The yogurt was smooth & velvety. Really creamy and goes so well with the chocolate & nuts! Feels like I'm taking a bite of heaven yumm!

 
Strawberry Yogurt with Milk Chocolate coating & tossed with Almond Nuts
As zero air is added into the Stickhouse's gelato during the manufacturing process, the gelato produced is much denser & creamier than regular ice-cream! You can see how dense the Strawberry yogurt is from the pic! (: Each bite delivers a full punch of strawberry goodness.

 
Grape Sorbet
I got a little jelak of the chocolate so I decided to try out a gelato without any toppings/dippings.
The grape flavour tasted really grape-ish & real. It felt like as if I am eating frozen grapes, on a stick. You can see the grapes fiber inside the gelato too!

 
Vanilla & Macadamia, drizzled in a little dark chocolate (seasonal)
Creamy with an aromatic vanilla essence, this flavour won my heart on the first bite. The crunchy macadamia was a contrast to the smooth velvety texture of the gelato.

 
Of course, it is not compulsory to completely dip your gelato in chocolate! You can choose to just dip half of your gelato in, or drizzle a little chocolate onto your gelato. The professional staffs at Stickhouse would be glad to comply to your wishes!

Had a really great time trying out the gelatos (: Too bad I only managed to try out 5 flavours. It was too much for my stomach to handle haha (:

Jacket potatoes! Smile Dec 06, 2013

I wonder if anyone here is imaginating a milk carton, wearing his underwear outside, clad in a cape when they heard about "Wondermilk"...

Hey, according to 9gag, you're not alone.

LOL, okay back to topic. So boyfriend decided to drive to Citta Mall to watch THOR 2! We were deciding between Baci and Wondermilk to have lunch at. We picked Wondermilk simply because my Pinch of Salt card (Discount card for Chaswood Restaurants) was out of privileges lol!

 
Once you set foot into Wondermilk you'll feel like you've been transported to some cute little sweet shop that you always read in Enid Blyton's book. With the exposed red brick wall, all the colourful banners hanging around and also the quirky posters plastered all over the wall.
I really love the interior of Wondermilk. It felt really homey, thanks to the artistic & creative interior design. I felt like it was really PINTREST inspired ;)

 
Their food menu!
Wondermilk mostly serves deli-style food, specializing in sandwiches and snacks such as fries lol
Wondermilk is a self-service restaurant. Once you made your order, you'll be given a tin with your order number. Your number will be called out once your drinks are ready. =)

 
As we were waiting for our food, I whipped out my camera and start snapping away! After all, the interior designs there just simply irresistible

 
I bet every girl who comes into this shop will go ga-ga over the designs haha.

 
Not really sure if the food arrived fast cause I was so busy with my camera I didn't realize our order has arrived lol.

 
Baked Potato with Tuna & Cheese RM8.90
Jacket potato stuffed with tuna, cheese & topped with mayo and chopped spring onions, with a side of green

 
The cheese & mayo oozed out as I embrace the potato. The amount of tuna & cheese were generous!The baked potato was baked to perfection and I have nothing else to say. This dish was perfect!
