Brussels Beer Cafe is a Belgain restaurant cum pub, serving up towels of beers and porky-licious delights to their patrons. They have several branches scattered over Klang Valley, like Sunway Pyramid, Jaya One, Ampang, Mt Kiara & so on!

The interior was really German-inspired, with the oak shelving units & furniture dominating the place. The chattering of the patrons, and the european music playing in the background, paired up with the sound of the grinding machine, created a really soothing ambiance 

Pumpkin Soup RM10.80
Homemade creamy pumpkin soup topped with roasted almond flakes, served with a slice of buttered toast.
Rich in pumpkin flavours & creamy in texture, this soup was the bomb! I enjoyed it till the very last drop.

Wild Mushroom Salad RM15.80
Assorted lettuce tossed with sautéed wild mushroom, homemade vinaigrette dressing, topped with crispy fried onions.
The juicy mushrooms, paired up with the crunchy fried onions, and fresh crisps of the greens, created a harmonic balance between the condiments.

Pork Belly RM30.80
Braised pork belly served with Belgian stoemp, sautéed vegetables, rotkraut and Franziskaner sauce
The pork belly was really tender, and I could slice it easily effortlessly
Tender, juicy & succulent, I couldn't have enough of it. It was perfect on its own, but even outstanding when paired with the flavourful Franziskaner sauce. I'd prefer it if the proportion of fats to lean meat is lower though. The mashed potatoes that was served alongside with the pork belly too was on par.

Sausage Platter RM28.80
Hungarian Sausage, Emmenthaler Sausage, Garlic Sausage
The sausage was tender & each bite was bursting with flavours. Don't underestimate the size of these sausages as it was really filling & satisfying to the tummy! Definitely recommended.

Rekindle, SS2! Rekindle is located at the same row as Babyland & Baker's Cottage. Its unique signboard with a fire element makes it easy for all to spot. I've passed by this cafe numerous times when I came to SS2 for dinner but I never had the chance to try it out because it was always packed to the brim, or I was there with my parents whom are not really keen on having caffeine at night.Step into Rekindle and it was love at first sight. The rustic interior was simply charming. Red bricks walls with poloroid photos hanging over the walls, mismatched furnitures such as garden bench x sewing machine tables, tall wooden chairs & tables paired up with vintage & antiques decorations like the old bike leaning on the counter.The selection of cakes at Rekindle was impressive! The range of cakes available was really extensive, and all of them looks really good. Upside Down RM15
Nutella-coated cup, downed with milk, and further topped with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream...
This was DA BOMB. Words can't describe my love towards this drink. Oh boy. The rich, thick, sinful nutella, mixed with the milk & smooth ice-cream...one have to try this to truly understand how great this drink was. A must-try! Although it might get a little too cloying if one were to finish this own his own.

Last week, I received an invitation to Cosans Coffee's coffee & food tasting event. Finally, a blogger event that is held conveniently in my own "base", SS15 Subang Jaya! Just a convenient 5 minute drive from my house (:Cosan Coffee! A new coffee place in the ever so happening SS15. Cosans Coffee is located at one of the busiest street of SS15- that is the row facing the pasar (same row as Crayon Burger)
As I pushed the glass door open, I was greeted enthusiastically by Cosans Coffee's warm staffs. I was instantly mesmerized by Cosans Coffee's interior as I set my foot into that place. The dim lighting, cushioned chairs, oak tables & wall emits a romantic & cosy feel. The place is decorated like a wooden cabin in the woods, as it felt really quaint and homey inside. Cosans serves up an array of beverages, ranging from caffeinated hot & cold drinks, frappe, chocolate, yogurt smoothie & even sodas!There's two types of beans patrons can choose from in Cosan Coffee, that is Equarre, which has a nutty & bitter body, and Carreau, which tasted more acidic & fruity.
The food menu on the other hand is still quite limited for the time being, but just nice to satisfy those little hunger pangs with their range of sandwiches, salad & soups.Like most cafes, Cosans Coffee practices the self-service culture where patrons have to make their order & payment at the counter. The friendly Cosans staffs behind the counter were all smiles when I made my order- the hospitality there was just lovely!Hazelnut Latte Regular RM11; Large RM13
Yes, Cosans have the cutest Coffee Art! Taste wise, the Hazelnut Latte has a smooth body, and a sweetness that was just nice for my liking (:Mocha Regular RM12; Large RM14
Smooth, silky body, and an aromatic & rich dark chocolate taste, simply my type of Mocha (: Like the Hazelnut Latte, the sweetness was just nice because dark chocolate was used.Caramel Frappe Regular RM14; Large RM16
Food & Lifestyle Blogger Carmen Hong said that she enjoyed this drink a lot despite not being a coffee lover, so I assume that it was good?

Standing Theory, another new cafe in town. Located in the obscure area of SS2, we had to waze our way there, into the less traveled commercial lots located amid the residential area. Thought that the cafe will be less crowded but I was wrong- The whole cafe was buzzing with activities when we reached, a really good sign for a cafe in such a secluded area.The menu was fairly simple, handwritten on the chalkboard hanging on the wall behind the counter. For now, Standing Theory only serves drinks, cakes & light meals such as Banh Mi (Vietnamese Baguette) and Chili Con Carne, but they will be launching a dinner menu soon The environment at Standing Theory was simple & minimal. Dark, grey wall, wooden furniture, with contrasting blue & orange chairs, light bulbs hanging in the air emitting a warm orange light. It gives me a calming & relaxing vibes.A one-of-a-kind communal table.Fruity White Tea RM7
Boyfriend's order. According to him it was nice & fruity.Red Velvet Cake
Was battling between waffles or cake but we went for cakes instead, as planned initially (Guan Ren even suggested BOTH. The waffles really seemed tempting as it is topped with Fat Baby Ice-Cream, Bacons, Banana & Cornflakes! Next visit perhaps).
The red velvet cake was soft, moist & fluffy. It tasted not too sweet, just nice for my liking. Paired up with the smooth cream cheese layer, one bite and I'm sold. However, I would prefer Upstairs Cafe's Red Velvet Cake due to its moisture texture. The one in Standing Theory wasn't the best I've tried, but definitely one of the best in town =)Cappuccino RM10
The cappuccino served here, is how I would define a cup of a good cappuccino. No further elaboration needed. Served alongside with a sweet chocolate chip cookie to strike a balance in taste. Heavenly.

Another new burger joint in townOnce we set our foot into Burger Factory we were greeted warmly by the staffs clad in black tees. I really loved the warm & simple interior of Burger Factory. White-washed furniture, with a touch of barnyard-style design- It made me feel homey & welcomed. Took me quite some time to decide on which burger to go for. The dazzling array of burgers served at Burger Factory really seemed so tempting! Beef burger, chicken burger, vegan burger....and also seafood burger!
And despite being a Burger Factory, Burger Factory does not only churns out burgers from their "factory", but also western & Asian delights such as pastas, Japanese pizzas, fried rice & so on! But since the Burger Factory is called, Burger Factory, we decided to go for what they specializes in- BURGERS.

Our orders took a while to arrive as there was quite a crowd during lunch hour. When the waiter served us, he handed us 2 sets of cutlery. We understood why as he placed the burger in front of us.Americano (Set) RM18.80
Grilled Beef Patty, Cheddar Cheese, Sunny Side Up, Gherkin, & Fry Sauce
The size of the burger is huge! Much bigger than my burgerlab's , Big Chomp's & Burgertory's! Was really pleased as I was really starving (but at the same time, felt lazy as I prefer using my hands to eat a burger)
How did the taste fare?
Beef patties were juicy & flavourful. The fry sauce was creamy & delightful, yet not cloying at all. Burger bun soft & fluffy. Loved the fact that they serve curly fries instead of the usual french fries.
The only complain I had was the curly fries was tad salty & the beef patties crumbled apart- Another big mess created lolMarine Tales (ala carte) RM15.90
Double Sunny Side Up, Prawn Chunks, Fish Fillet, Double Grilled Pineapples, Caramelized Onions & Fry Sauce
I got the seafood burger as I never tried/heard of it before so I decided to give it a go.AH-MEH-ZHINGG
The burgers at Burger Factory definitely exceeded my expectation.
Flavours were really well-balanced. The ingredients just came together perfectly. The double grilled pineapples, especially, tasted so juicy & sweet. Onions were perfectly caramelized, fry sauce compliments the fish fillets & prawns perfectly- this burger is perfect.

Another thing about Burger Factory's burger, is that it made us feel less guilty after we consumed it. Not sure why, but it definitely did not felt greasy nor cloying at all. And the amount of veggie inside the burgers was really generous too!
