Brussels Beer Cafe is a cafe most well-known for its Belgium beer, in particular the Hoegaarden, Stella Artois and Leffe. However, we went to the branch which located at Jaya One for their set lunch instead of beer. For your information, they are offering four different set lunch menu, namely menu A, B, C and D respectively, with four choices of set lunch in each menu. Only set lunch menu C is available on the day we went. Choices of set lunch in menu C including grilled beef steak, aglio-olio pasta, grilled lamb chop and fish & chips. Each order of set lunch costs us only RM 17.80 per pax and it is inclusive of buffet style fruit & salad bar and a glass of soft drink. A very good deal isn't it? Having this type of lunch once in awhile during working days is simply awesome. Photo below shows the menu of Brussels Beer Cafe.

 
A & W root beer is the soft drink that comes with the set lunch we ordered. They give us a tin instead of a glass which filled with ice.

 
Grilled beef sirloin with coffee sauce and baked carrots. This is one of the set lunch we ordered. The grilled beef is good although not juicy and tender. As for the coffee sauce, it was over-cooked with mild bitterness, but still acceptable.

 
My friend did ordered their grilled lamb chop. The lamb chop was served with mint yogurt gravy and scallion mash potatoes. Thumbs up. Not to forget to mention the portion size, average portion size but you will definitely wont leave with a hungry stomach because the free fruits and salads could play a role adding bulk to your meals.
 
Spending per head: Approximately RM18(午餐)

roasted pork (siew yok) noodles  Smile Oct 29, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Chinese | Food court | Noodles

A plate of dry noodle which topped with generous amount of roast pork, tau fu pok and bean sprouts (taugeh), in mix of soy sauce and watery curry. Combination like this really makes the roast pork noodles irresistible. And for those who can't take spicy foods, you don't have to worry because the watery curry is not spicy. smile

Dark Vader and "Hot" Chick OK Oct 26, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Western variety | Restaurant | Burgers / Sandwiches

At present, there are uncountable burger joints in town serving decent burgers. Not sure if you know there is one in Kota Damansara too, the Bert's Jr. Gourmet Burger.

 
The first thing which caught my eyes when I step into Bert's Jr. Gourmet Burger was the colourful artwork on the wall. A really big piece of wall art done by a group of volunteered art college students. After several attempts to capture the whole piece of wall art by using the iPad panorama app, it turns out to be quite good with exception there is one part which blurry a little bit due to the light reflection.

 
Here is another photo to show you the interior of Bert's Jr. Gourmet Burger restaurant. The design is rather simple with no special theme. Please take note that you have to go to the counter to place your order and make payment. For your information, Bert's Jr. does not serve pork or alcohol on its menu. They serve only beef, lamb, fish and chicken.

 
Another good piece of art on the wall located next to the counter.

 
There are seven burgers under "The Big Eat" menu, burgers with special name which specially crafted for your craving: Dark Vader, Steamed beef burger, Baa Baa Black Sheep, Jaw Breaker, Grill'd Chicken, "Hot" Chick and Finding Dory (those in bold are the top sellers). Prices range from RM 13.90 to RM 21.90 for regular size, RM 9.90 to RM 17.90 for small size. You can add another RM 5 to make it a combo which comes with a soft drink and a side order.

"Hot" Chick RM 14.90 and the side dish, steakhouse fries. A burger of grilled chicken thigh marinated with black pepper sauce topped with chicken mushroom cold cuk and cheddar cheese, egg, green leaves, peeled tomato and caramelized onions. The buns were soft but best with charcoal bun. The grilled chicken thigh surprisingly turned out to be quite soft and juicy. The black pepper sauce somehow does not taste the same as any other black pepper sauce out there, not too pepper-ish. The other ingredients, especially the egg, added another flavour to the burger which make the burger overall an awesome combination. My friend enjoyed the burger very much. I never like chicken thigh burger this much too. Not to forget to mention, the fries were served fresh.

 

 
Dark Vader RM 16.90. A 200g premium beef patty burger topped with beef pepperoni cold cuk mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese, green leaves, peeled tomato and caramelized onions. As for the side dishes, we opted for coleslaw and potato croquette. The beef patty is made of minced beef, hence it is really soft. Savoury, however, not juicy enough. There are two types of cheese but still the cheesiness not up to my satisfaction. Overall, this burger is still desirable. As for the cold coleslaw and potato croquette, they both taste good.

 

 
I will visit Bert's Jr. Gourmet Burger again for their Baa Baa Black Sheep because there are so many good comments on this burger.

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)
