Weekend treat with the twin!
Absolutely in love with the Caprice waffle which is basically a charcoal waffle topped off with caramel coated popcorn, creamy corn and a scoop of vanilla ice cream! Lastly finished off with a salted egg yolk sauce to complete the luscious waffle treat. The salted egg yolk sauce composed of the right amount of saltiness with a slight tinge of sweetness to it. The texture of the waffle was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The creamy corn was a nice addition to the waffle as it reminds me of the Malaysian treat, apam balik!
Also not forgetting their matcha Nama chocolate, which was soft and tasted bittersweet.
It was a great accompaniment to that refreshing glass of iced latte!

A Wednesdate here is incomplete without my sweet treat and coffee.

among all the sweet treats displayed in their chiller, the one that captured my attention was the Caramel Nutty Tart. Think of citrus apricot frangipane filling, topped off with salted caramel and toasted nuts, consisting of almond, walnut, macadamia & pistachis. This sweet treat is best paired with a cup of coffee!
And my choice of coffee today is their Cappuccino.
The first sip of the coffee had a sweet, nutty note and a good chocolaty finishing!

As the name suggest that its a cafe and restaurant, I visited Huckleberry for their famous Acai smoothie!

After taking the first sip, I could well understand why people frequenr there to get a fix of it!
It was no doubt a suitable thirst-quenching drink for the blistering weather in Malaysia.

The texture of the smoothie was thick and tasted delightfully refreshing!

Sakura food is all the rage in Japan, this time of the year. I came here for the Wagashi(s) and the seasonal tea for the momth, Sakura green tea (totally yums & therapeutic) here at TeaPress.

Japanese embraces Sakura in their cooking during Spring, hence many of their food this season integrates the use of these pretty cherry blooms.
I had a fair share of their seasonal green tea daifuku, Sakura mochi and Hokkaido tart and the Sakura mochi was my personal favourite! Think of savoury sweet pink coloured rice balls stuffed with adzuki bean paste and wrapped with pickled cherry blossom leaf!

I opined that the Hokkaido tart was slightly overdone as the original Japanese tarts have a wobbly center filling as compared to Malaysia's customary egg tarts. While the texture of the green tea daifuku was chewy as I had expected it to be. Thank goodness it was not sweet at all though!

A blistering hot day warrants a visit to an ice cream store and here I am today at IDC. This ice cream cafe is inspired by New Zealand's Kapiti ice cream. Their variety of ice creams served is huge and different from the commercial kinds you normally find in Malaysia's market. Their flavours and name are interesting with words such as anzac, figs, vintage, black doris plum, creme fraiche and many more used in naming them. Their plenty of unique flavours are what interested me. They serve the ice creams in scoops, with cones, waffles, welsh cakes, and many more other offerings.

I decided to have my choice of ice cream in the Anzac Coconut cookies along with my waffles. The texture of the waffle was crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. While, the ice cream was luxuriously indulgent! Finished off with a chocolate ganache, it is the perfect combination!
