Eat Me - Artisanal Desserts

Disebabkan plan asal nak pergi Eat Me, pastu kedai ni pulak sebelah je dengan KGB..Dah macam ditakdirkan utk try jugak..hahaha... Perut dah sengkak dah, tapi demi memenuhi kehendak Kathy, ku gagahkan jua..

Alahai, sweetnya deco dia. Pastel colors sangat-sangat soothing. Mmg kontra la dengan kedai burger KGB kat sebelah, mode karnivor dah berubah ke mood ayu and feeling2 pulak.. :)

Sweet pastel color deco

Dah setel order, posing dulu ek..

Ok dah jemu tgk muka kitorang..kita layan desserts pulak skang..

Our orders

Golden Crumb - Vanilla Ice Cream with Salted Caramel, Milk Clusters and Caramel Popcorn

Eaton Mess - crisp meringue, dark choc, passionfruit, straberries & crunchy hazelnut pralines

Churros, served with belgian dark choc

Churros ni mcm tgh "in" skang ni, byk kedai desserts ada jual dah..yummy..this one kira ok jugak but i've tasted better ones.

Home made belgian choc dipping - nice, not too sweet

Diorang pun ada menu yang eksotik gak, like Le Cempedak- waffles with cempedak ice cream & the Belgian Musang -  durian cake with belgian choc topped with durian ice cream.. Prob will try this next time bila perut tak kenyang sgt.

Dalam kenyang2 pun berebut lagi..hehhe

Kali ni, birthday girl dibelanja oleh Ira..thx babe..

Alrite girls, time to go back home..till our next meetup..love ya..Hope our friendship last forever..Takmo dengki2, takmo gaduh2 kay..apa yg tak puas hati terus terang je..takmo pendam or cakap belakang2..
Tiada manusia yang x melakukan kesalahan..so kalau nak sentap, kejap2 sudah..

Till next time..adios..xoxoxo

KGB - Killer Gourmet Burger

Aduhai, lamanya kita bertiga tak hangout sekali...Ira baru dpt baby baru..so habis je pantang cepat-cepat makcik ni roger ajak nak lepak2..sangap dah duk rumah lama..Hehehe

Coincidently, September is my birthday..so ala-ala birthday treat gak la..
Mcm biasa tempat yg paling neutral, Bangsar. Area ni dok tengah2 dari kitorang. So fair and square..
Masalahnya sebab dah selalu sangat port kat Bangsar ni, dah buntu kedai mana nak try pulak.
Mula-mula Kathy suggest Eat Me..pastu google skit, kedai tu desserts je..ala..nak makan dinner..
Ok, then carik balik decided kita try KGB..I tak la berat sangat nak try, burger tak termasuk dalam senarai favourite food I. Tapi si Ira ni memang favourite dia.. Ok la, kasi can meraikan sempena lepas pantang..Huhuhu...

This burger bakar craze macam dah suam2 je skarang ..kalau dulu one after another orang bukak kedai burger.. So KGB ni antara yang dah lama gak..Kitorang je yg x pernah try lagi..food must be good sebab kedai bertahan lama..and they've just open up a new branch kat TTDI (restoran Mohsin lama).

Rupanya KGB ni betul2 sebelah Eat Me..(same owner kot)

For Burger Lovers

Crowd agak tenang, its a working day

Order kat kaunter..sib baik takde long queue macam kat Burger Lab.

Tunggu food tak sampai-sampai..kamera pulak yang sampai dulu. :)

Fries with herbs

Fries memang best, buat sdri punya ni..plus the herbs and dipping sauce memang ngam..

Our dinner for tonite

Bella Bomb - grilled chicken, portobello mushroom, triple cheese, and special sauce

Bobcat - beef patty, jalapeno mayo, cheese, roasted green chilli

Chillis galore

Bash - grilled burger, beef bacon, cheese, caramelized onions and yang special, maple cornflakes..

Double portobello mushroom...nice...

Kegigihan Kathy nak ambil gambar, sampai burger pun kena operate..satu-satu di checknya..

Jemput makan.. :)

Wah memang best burger-burger kat sini..Burger lovers out there..should give this joint a try..It goes second in my list of best burger joint, first would be Burger Lab.

Highly recommended especially my burger Bobcat tu, pedas...memenuhi citarasa.

Thanks Kathy for the birthday treat..
Jangan ingat kitorang balik..ada lagi sambungan ni..tungguuu.....:P

Kopi & XoXo

By now, rasanya mesti ramai yang dah tahu that Nora Danish and the gang ada buka restaurant/coffee shop kat Bangsar, Kopi & XoXo. Mana taknya, hari2 penuh kedai ni, iyelar, ND kan antrara followers paling banyak on IG, berapa juta follower dah skang ni, mmg ramai la peminat dia.. I ni kategori peminat ke?..Hehehe..minat sesangat, tapi takla fanatik. Basically attracted to her beauty and personality. Very down to earth, humble and tak sombong. 

One fine day, since my sis ambik half day, she called and wanted to have lunch. Apa lagi, laju je ckp Kopi XoXo la.
Kedai bukak kul 12.30, kul 12 dah tercangak dah..memang first customer la gamaknya..hewhew..Ok la..tak la serabut sgt..
Few minutes after that dah start ramai dah, time kitorang makan, kedai dah penuh..pergghhh, business is good....

Menu simple jer sini, tak banyak sgt, very straight forward. Yang byk org order is Bubur Betty,  I nak try ni, my sis pun nak yg ni, hmm takkan dua2 nak makan benda sama. Ok fine I order la lain..black pepper beef set-kalau x sedap siap, nak mengamuk :P
Woh crowd favourite,  goreng pisang cheese - Gorpis pun ada kat sini, tapi sebab awal lagi so diorang belum start.

My Sis

Bubur Betty - RM14.90

Black Pepper Beef Set - RM14.90

Hazelnut Iced Latte & Ice Lemon Tea

Got ourselves some complimentary Ice Cream Stick

Betty was in da house, sadly ND takde :( . Have the same exact cardigan, sib baik tak pakai hari tu..

Luckily what I ordered turned out sedap, not bad jugak black pepper beef dia. Beef dia liat sikit, my opinion, patut potong kecik sikit, besau gedabak, tak muat nak suap dlm mulut yg kecik ni :) Best part rasa black pepper dia tak overwhelmed sangat. 
As for the bubur, well bubur is bubur la kan, nak sedap camne lagi, so yang penting is the lauk yang goes with it. In this case the kangkung belacan, to me very sedap. :) Spicy and the kangkung is still crunchy.
Ice cream pulak, we got it as a complimentary, maybe for the first few customers kot. Walaupun free, tapi sedap wei....its orange dried apricot flavour..memang terasa orange tu, mcm orange juice pastu terus bekukan..very very refreshing.. kalau korang ke sini jangan lupa have this for desserts.

Hopefully the cafe lasts, not bcoz of the celebrity status but by its great food and drink at a great location. And from what I had, I think they will.
Hope they will expand the menu with more great food.

ROA by Jovian..Manadonese Cuisine

It's Monday and its my day off..yeayy...Always wanted to try this place..
Hurrmm masalahnya cuti tak sama dgn orang..
What to do...only thing to do is to kidnap my good friend Kathy during lunch hour..heheeh
Office dia pun dekat je dgn Bangsar..

Roa by Jovian Mandagie.. Ada 2 location kedai ni.. the first is in Shah Alam which I think is bigger and ada live band on weekends.. but since tak kuasa nak ke Shah Alam tu..next best thing is their second outlet kat Bangsar..Jalan Telawi area..

First2 masuk je dah impress dengan deco dia..wow..memang nampak sangat Jovian ni detail orang nya..
Boleh nampak his attention to detail in fine little things.

Ok, about the food here.. masakan Manado..never had one before..selalunya restaurant  Indonesian kat sini either masakan padang or ayam penyet.

So here it's something new for me..

Manadonese Vocab.. Learn while you eat

Gorgeous Interior

Even the menu presentation is awesome

Alas meja dia pun menarik..ada Manadonese Vocab

Actually I datang sini twice..first time with Hubby, second dengan Kathy..hehehe that's why ada byk lauk..giler nak mkn byk2 ni 2 org je..

Marlin Woku

Ayam Tuturuga

Sapi Rica-Rica

Terung Saos Telur

Cumi Woku Belanga

Ayam Isi Buluh

Best dessert - Blueberry Nutella Cheese Cake..korang wajib try ni!!

My verdict - main dishes here tak lain tak bukan is nasi and lauk2..sesuai dengan tekak orang Melayu..:)
if you guys love hot and spicy food, this place is a must try..Boleh kata majoriti meals dia pedas2.. I like..

In my opinion, Mandonese food ni takdela beza sangat dengan Indonesian food lain even lebih kurang macam lauk2 orang Melayu pun ada..iyela kata serumpun kan..any beza sikit here and there.

Price wise, tengok tempat pun dah boleh bajet harga :).. One dish dlm RM12-RM15 camtu..tapi sedap and berbaloi..Dessert dia pun nampak semua sedap2..traditional Manadonese dessert pun ada tapi tak try sebab Nutella Cheesecake tu lagi nampak mengancam..hehehe
Memang terbaik..coming from somebody yang tak suka manis2 ni..the sweetness is just nice and yang penting tak memuakkan.. Two thumbs up!!!

My only complaints is the lauk2. Semua lauk2 dah di masak siap2..ala2 macam kita pergi makan kat kedai nasi campur la..hmmm..bayar mahal2 takkan tak dapat freshly cooked food kot..ok katala nak masak lauk org Manado ni lama and payah..at least reheat la lauk2 tu when serving it..barula tambah selera makan panas2..Even if you search the net..memang ramai dah complain about this..well Jovian if you are reading this please take action..reheating bukan susah sangat pun, masuk dalam microwave seminit dua dah siap..
