A sleepy afternoon calls for a visit here to podgy to get my caffeine fix. I was also interested in giving their chai latte a try, in which they had an option of soy milk as an alternative to dairy milk for those who are lactose intolerant. Presentation wise, their chai tea latte was served in a fancy teapot and accompanied alongside with a small cup of honey for those who need that extra sweetness. Taste wise, it was delicious and aromatic from the blend of black tea and Indian spices used.
I was piqued by their salted egg yolk brownie which was crispy on the outside but soft in the interior. It was simply decadent however I felt that the saltiness could be enchanted a tad bit more.
Moving on, the saving grace was that piccolo latte which I found amazing! That piccolo was sufficient to give a caffeine jolt to my body. The coffee delivered a medium body, nuttiness and chocolaty finish.

Keeping my Monday caffeinated with a Guatemala pour over and a latte on their blend, not forgetting their soft baked giant dark chocolate almond cookie.

The soft baked giant dark chocolate almond cookie crumbles easily as I take my first bite in. It was decadent and delicious. I opine that it goes well with a cup of white.

A good amount of time is needed if you were to have a pourover coffee as compared to espresso based coffee. The Guatemala tasted juicy and citrusy, just as what the barista had mentioned to me. It was smooth and syrupy, easy to drink for regular coffee drinkers like me.
Moving on, the latte that I had was sweet and nutty with a good chocolaty finish from the house blend that they used.
The couple who had opened this place used to sell coffee on a cart for a year before shifting in to their new place. They both had a long experience in serving coffee to the Klang coffee snobs. So most of their coffee would taste a bit more bold and it is the perfect recipe for a comforting coffee fix for the Klang people. 

Thin strands of egg noodles was springy, no presence of unpleasant alkaline taste in the egg noodles; tossed prettily in soy sauce, dark soy sauce and sesame oil. Totally my type of wanton noodles but this plate of noodles was nothing amazing.

It also comes with a bowl of wantan soup.

The wantans are made off minced pork wrapped in the wantan skins. They were firm and well-seasoned. While, the char siu could do better, in my opinion.

The ratio of meat was more than the fats but the juiciness was not there. I am thinking that it might be the marinade's issue.

Overall, this was very average.

This makan place was packed to the brim with people during lunch time and curiousity had led me to try it out!

I ordered a bowl of pork noodles without the innards as I don't usually eat them.

That bowl of noodles was nothing amazing and the saving grace to it was the smooth, sikly hor fun. The pork balls were chewy in texture but it was nothing fantastic either.

It was nothing compared to the famous ss15 pork noodles, back in my college days. 

A visit to the Ben's Independent Grocer is never complete without my dessert affair at the Ben's Bake Shop.

The bake shop offer a variety of baked goods on display as well as signature plated desserts such as churros, toasts and klonuts.

Upon glancing through the menu and the displayed goods, I made up my mind and decided to have the cheesecake donuts and gula melaka friand.

Friands are basically small french cake, and this one here had an Asian twist to it. The use of gula melaka and coconut in bringing a richer flavor to the friands. It had a nice crisp texture on the exterior while light and fluffy on the inside.

It goes well with a cup of tea, in my opinion. 

On the other hand, the cheesecake donut is actually creamy cheese fillings stuffed in plain donuts. It was neither too sweet nor cloying. I felt that it could lend some caramel sauce to complete it.
