PastryVille, located directly opposite Komugi Cafe in Subang Parade I initially planned to just go for a cup of coffee and perhaps a pastry but.. I don't know why, my foodie instinct was shouting inside me, prompting me to order the pasta set and yeah it just slipped off my mouth when I was ordering. I was not even hungry at then. But the little voice inside me was so strong I couldn't control it.
*dramatic sound effects*PastryVille is a self service cafe. And since it is fairly new, the price displayed on the menu are nett price yayyy! The interior of PastryVille was sleek and modern, with the black table & chairs and shelves unit displaying their pastry pairing up with their white faux brick wall plastered with contemporary posterIced Peach Tea (Comes with set)
This is something new which I had never try before. Love it. Beef Bolognese (set) RM12.90
The spaghetti was cooked el-dente. Each strand of noodle was coated evenly with the rich bolognese sauce, The sauce has generous chunks of minced meat and was well-seasoned with cheese and herbs. It was simple, yet delightful. I'm not really a fan of bolognese but this dish certainly won my heart.Before I left, I walked around, browsing through their bread and pastries. Pastryville is very creative with their pastries, as you can see. So adorable! And best of all, it was really affordable =) I didn't get to try out any of them as I was already feeling satiated after the pasta.

So did my inner foodie voice disappointed me? Definitely not =) Glad I followed my instinct and tried out their pasta! Hope to try out more of their food from their menu!

Hainanese Fried Fish & Chips RM11.90
Fried battered fish in Hainanese sauce, with a generous side of fries. The fish was quite fresh, and it was fried to perfection. The batter was crispy, but I find it tad too thick. The sweet Hainanese sauce complements the dish perfectly, paired up with the soft and tender green peas and caramelized onion. Boy friend finds this dish average though. He claims that we have been having too much good food recently so food which are just slightly above average now taste average to him haha

Secret of Louisiana Pasta Buffet has been one of my favourite makan and hang-out spot with my friends after my first visit, thanks to their affordable price, quaint & relaxing environment and also delicious pastas.

Last month, I visited this place three times. Of course I didn't go for their pasta buffet for all three times lol! I have to watch my diet and also waistline! I decided to try out their Country Set Lunch for two of my visit. Foot Long Chicken Sausage RM16.50
Two foot long sausage topped with sauteed button mushroom, served with a side of mashed potatoes and grilled tomatoThe mashed potatoes were smooth and creamy. I loved it because it tasted "real", unlike some restaurants who like to add corn starch into their mashed potatoes to cut cost. The tomato was grilled to perfection, juicy & flavourful.
The sausage was delightful! Each bite was so juicy and flavourful! It is best eaten on its own to savour its original taste. The sausages were really filling too! I thought that two sausages will not be enough but I was feeling satiated after I finished the sausages.

A green house within the busy, ever happening Kota Damansara....So last Thursday, I dragged boyfriend out because his AS was over. I told him I'll drive and plan the agenda . Being a foodie, it is not hard to guess that I'll plan a foodie trip. I was deciding between Damansara Uptown, TTDI or Kota Damansara and in the end I choosed Kota Damansara as I was mesmerized by its liveliness at night after my visit to de'Armour with Openrice. Our first cafe on our agenda was Bonjour Gardens!Located in the heart of Kota Damansara, this little bakery cum cafe has a welcoming facade- glass door with white frames, surrounded by lush green vines and trees, with white little bamboo lantern hanging around.Like most bakery, Bonjour Garden puts their lovely pastries and breads out for display for patrons to pick and choose their desired noms. Lovely whiff of freshly baked pastry greeted us as we set foot into the bakery.Took me a while to choose my pastries as all of them looked so tempting!Shiny pots and pans hanging above, along with the drapes of plants, while the bright sunlight shine through the glass ceiling, emitting a warm and rustic vibe.We were mesmerized by their Venetian Boat style sitting area which has a water pool next to it and immediately decided that that will be our dining spot.
The design of this French-like open air cafe, allows sufficient sun light to shine in the cafe, rendering a lively environment (which is perfect for camwhoring!). It also has proper shading against the rain and strong wind so diners could enjoy their meals peacefully come rain or shine. However , the heat was quite unbearable on that day. Felt as if we were in a sauna lol
The quaint and peaceful ambiance at Bonjour Garden really made me feel like we were dining in a park. (Not to mention the warmth too! It felt as if we were in a suana at some point!)Top- Egg & Cheese Gratin RM4, Bottom- Pumpkin Boat RM3.40

We requested the staffs to warm up our pastries but our orders didn't arrive after 15 minutes. I asked the waiter and apparently she forgotten to switch on the oven! But it was okay as the waiter was apologetic and sweet so we didn't mind.

Unfortunately, our pastries wasn't warm too. Probably because the waiter didn't warm it up long enough as she was afraid that we might get impatient. A for effort.

Anyways, back to review.

Pumpkin Boat- The pastry crust was crispy & aromatic, however, I didn't like the pumpkin filling which was too sweet and hard. I was expecting a soft and fluffy pumpkin puree but all I got was a hard lump of pumpkin+sugar mixture.

Egg & Cheese Gratin- I took a bite off the flaky pastry crust, and was immediately hit with the aromatic buttery aroma. Egg and cheese, the combination that never goes wrong, was a perfect match to the buttery and flaky crust. Loved it!

So after a hearty meal in Bonjour Garden, and a round of shopping in Sunway Giza, it was time for desserts! :B Choosing a place for desserts was such a hard choice for me to make, as Sunway Giza was saturated with desserts parlour (and having desserts on a once in a blue moon basis means that the desserts have to be good or we'll be wasting our calorie intake!)! I did my research the night before, narrowed down my choices, reading food reviews from various sites, and finally decided to settle for Paddington Garden, a cafe specializes in pancakes!Paddington Garden, a pancake cafe chain store that hails all the way from Taiwan!Sweet pancakes, savoury pancakes, stuffed pancakes, take your pick!
We were at a loss of choice as all of them seemed so tempting! We decided to ask the waiter for recommendation and we settled for the Berry Berry Pancakes!Paddington Garden, as its name suggested, has a garden-themed interior- Garden furnitures, paired up with the lush green surroundings, with white photo frames hanging on the wall plastered with sweet looking wallpaper, spruced up by the warm yellow light shining from the chandelier.The interior was so warm and welcoming I could just stay there the whole day. Berry Berry Pancake RM13.90
3 mini pancakes, drizzled with berry sauce & topped with mixed berries, ice-cream and whipped creamSoft, fluffy, warm pancake, paired up with the sourish-sweet mixed berries, topped up with the smooth, velvety icy-cool vanilla ice-cream and airy whipped cream- the combination couldn't be better. The warmth of the pancake, melts the soft ice-cream, bringing out the aromatic vanilla flavour which was so addictive! Berry Berry good!

Overall Rating: 8/10
The pancakes were lovely, ambiance was charming, service was pleasant. The only complain I have is the size of the pancake- which was tad too small
