Winter Lover Bakery House is located at Jalan PJU 5/21, Kota Damansara. It took me quite awhile to search for it because I hardly go to that area as opposed to Sunway Giza and it is located at upstairs of double storey shop lots. Please note that no shoes are allowed inside the bakery house, hence you need to take off and leave your shoes at the shoes rack.

 
The interior design of Winter Lover Bakery House is much similar to Full House or Garden Cafe but much simpler. It exhales tranquillity and relaxation, makes me feel so comfortable and blissful sitting in there. In addition, I like the wallpaper they used to decorate the plain wall. Here I included a few photos to share with you the interior design of this bakery, as below:

 

 
According to their Facebook page, they are a featured bakery house serving their specialty of Mille Crepe and macaroons. In addition, they are also making their effort to cultivate the flower tea culture in Petaling Jaya. For flower tea lovers, maybe you can give a try.

 
They are offering a variety of Mille Crepe (really a lots). For instance, oreo madness, French chestnut, banana & chocolate, original/vanilla, caramel macchiato, raspberry yogurt, hokkaido milk, citrus cheese, mango, 3 in 1 (vanilla, chocolate & strawberry), trio chocolate (white, milk, dark chocolate), tiramisu, strawberry, rum & raisins, baileys, matcha azuki, peanut blueberry, etc. We had a tough time to decide which two flavours to pick and then in the end.......... the gluttonousness chosen matcha azuki and musang durian king.

Musang Durian King Mille Crepe. It contains musang durian blended in fresh whipped cream. This Mille Crepe is their weekend special Mille Crepe, so not sure if they are selling this during weekdays. So blissfully happy that I came on Saturday and I had the chance to try this. The taste of durian is so appetizing. Both of us love every bites of this and the delicate texture of crepe. I'm sure I will come back again for this.

 
Matcha Azuki Mille Crepe (Matcha = green tea, Azuki = red bean). This Mille Crepe uses high quality of green tea powder imported from Japan and then blend together with red bean. I like green tea but not red bean (It was my friend who chosen this flavour). But surprisingly the combination of green tea and red bean in this way turns out to be so great. The taste is not so strong, not too sweet and very refreshing. You will definitely marvel at it in harmony of the combination.

 
As for the drink, not too much options. But I think they are offering good coffee such as toasted hazelnut coffee, arabica gold coffee, white coffee, dark coffee, and last but not least, the DURIAN COFFEE! I never heard about durian coffee. It is interesting to try it out and it tastes excellent (at least to me) with durian taste. But my body feels like it's heating up after a cup of this durian coffee. So I grabbed cooling water to relieve the body heatiness.

 
Other than coffee, they serves honey lime with jelly and passion fruit. We ordered passion fruit because my friend not really a big fans of coffee. Pleasant drink for a hot day.

 
I'm really in love with their Mille Crepe and I will definitely come back for more.

Coffee time at Butter + Beans OK Oct 04, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Western variety | Café | Sweets/Snack

Lately, I have been seeing so many pictures and friends check in at Butter + Beans. After surfing the internet only I know coffee and freshly baked pastries are what they are famous for.

 
So, I decided to drop by for the coffee as well as Ernest Zacharevic wall painting.

 
Butter + Beans is rather small (the size) as compared to other cafe. Three quarter of space inside is occupied by the pastries/coffee station. With that, you can imagine very limited seats are available. There are only two small wooden tables and one long table inside the cafe which I think can fit maximum only 8 persons. There are another 3 tables outside the cafe. Free wifi is available.

 
The most eye-catching decoration in the cafe would be the huge bear and drink menu drawing by chalk.

 
They have been featured in Time Out Kuala Lumpur.

 
Mocha RM 11. I like this mocha from the first sip to the end. I'm not a regular heavy coffee drinker and I barely accept coffee which is bitter. However, the taste of this mocha just nice for me to cope with - neither not too sweet nor too bitter.

 
Cappuccino RM 9. Rich tasting and hence the bitterness. Not so pleasing to my taste buds but my friend likes it this way.

 
Raspberry orchid cake which caught my attention (RM10). Slightly dry and "powdery" but delicious. Besides cakes, Butter + Beans is offering a varieties of freshly baked pastries and breads such as croissant, Raspberry tart, cinnamon roll, fig tart etc.

 
 
Recommended Dish(es):  Mocha,Raspberry orchid cake
 
Spending per head: Approximately RM20(下午茶)

BAGEL! YOGURT! Are you craving for some freshly made bagel as well as yogurt? I would recommend you to head over The Mugshot Cafe (Address: 302, Chulia Street, Georgetown, Penang) to fix your crave. Bagel and yogurt are what they famous for. Special thanks to my friend for bringing me to this awesome cafe which then marked another worthwhile experience to my Penang trip. Both the bagel and yogurt were sold out during our first visit. Then we paid a second visit to The Mugshot Cafe.

You will definitely notice this huge eye-catching signage just right before you enter into The Mugshot Cafe.

 
The Mugshot Cafe with very nostalgic feeling of interior design. They are using wooden chairs and tables. Please take note that only limited seats are available. The chairs and tables are kinda low, so for tall people, I hope you wont have problem sitting comfortably. It should be alright. lol

 

 
For your information, there are only five types of bagel to choose from: cream cheese (RM5), cream cheese and smoked salmon (RM10), bacon and egg (RM10), turkey ham cranberry sauce (RM10) and corned beef and rocket (RM10). We ordered the bagel with cream cheese. It was quite plain but mouth-watering, with poppy seeds toppings.

 
As for yogurt, there are only four types of yogurt available: jackfruit and gula melaka, kiwi and honey, mango and walnuts and walnuts and raisins. RM10 for each. We ordered the yogurt with mango and walnuts. This was the first time in my life to eat such THICK and CREAMY yogurt. Too thick and creamy until I stunned after the first spoon. I'm not a yogurt lover, but then after a few spoon I think the thick creamy texture of this yogurt is acceptable and goes very well with the mango and walnuts! I believe a yogurt lover will like this very much.

 
After eating, we then walked around The Mugshot Cafe to do photo taking. The man is preparing the bagels with bacon and egg. Notice the oven which they used to bake/ heat up the bagels? They are using firewood for the oven, not charcoal.

 

 
Then, a mug shot is a must when you pay a visit to The Mugshot Cafe. Fun seeing people taking mug shot and fun reading their written criminal charges. lol
