American Breakfast with Flat White

I've been wanting to try this again for the longest time. Can't remember when was the last time I did so nor why was I doing here but finally, this was the Sunday I manage to revisit it.

The place is located on the first floor directly above the current Japanese restaurant below. Well, I wouldn't really call that restaurant below a Japanese restaurant cause it only says it's a Japanese restaurant. Many of it's elements of Japanese is missing. Even their Japanese food don't taste Japanese. Sigh. Anyway, yeah. LewisGene is located on the first level so you'll need to take the staircase beside to get to it. Their doors are locked so you will need to ring the bell if you want them to release the door. I didn't know that and I tried to force my way through. LOL. The staff there quickly ran to the door to open it for me and welcome me in. XD

Their menus are all on the board everywhere written in chalk and so after looking at their very extensive menu of food and drinks, I finally decided upon the American Breakfast and a Flat White. LewisGene is a place where it's so hidden, I barely see any customers around. In fact, I'm already surprised that I saw 4 tables of customers there when I was present. I'm not sure how they manage to stay in business all these years when I don't see a lot of customers there. Probably go by their sales of coffee products at wholesale or something. In fact, they even have another outlet just down the street called My Feelings Coffee by LewisGene. Looks like this guy is trying to make his name into a brand.

It didn't take long before my coffee was served and it was in a very cute looking cartoonish giraffe cup. The coffee was more bitter than I usually take it and it comes with 2 lovely biscotti complementing it. The biscotti has a sweetness to it along with it's nutty taste and makes the coffee a much more nicer version for me to swallow. But I must say that their art has great staying power. Even after leaving it on and drinking till the last drop, the art is still intact. LOL. Splendid. They soon served me a glass of water and then came apple juice with some bread and butter. A nice value for money for the American Breakfast since it comes with so many items. I truly didn't expect a glass of apple juice to be served with 2 nice bread with 2 generous slabs of butter on it. The Apple Juice was made from fresh apples but somehow it developed a lot of foam on it. Even if that's the case, it didn't deter a nice taste of apple in the juice and wasn't too sweet nor too sour. Just right to stir some appetite going.

Soon came the big breakfast plate. It consists of 2 eggs, some mashed green peas at the side, baked beans which tasted fresh, and 2 sausages (one beef and one chicken) and a beef ham and a chicken ham. Oh, there's also 2 droopy tomatoes on top. I have no idea what they did to the tomatoes but it's been soggy to bits though it retained it shape in the beginning. All of the things were heartily smashing with just the exception of the tomatoes. The mashed green peas were a refreshing good change since I've never had those served in a western breakfast before, the eggs were done right with a runny yolk center and the chicken and beef sausage and ham, well respectively, they've done their job. The chicken being the more softer type while the beef carries a more tougher texture and is spicier like a salami. So it tasted very much like salami. Anyway, a very good breakfast that will definitely fill you up especially with the mashed green peas. I'm totally please with it.

It's quite a nice quiet place to chill with songs that I adore blaring on the stereo that consists of songs from the 80s till the 2000s. Just lovely. I soon had to head home to attend to my household chores. That's the downside of living on your own and you're unwilling to outsource the cleaning to other people. LOL.

Total Wallet Damage:
RM35.80. Though it may seem expensive, with the portion they gave on the breakfast, it's actually very reasonable. There's 6% GST charged but I don't see any service charge. Oh. And the place is run by mostly Filipinos but they were very friendly and nice and speaks good reasonable English.

Final Verdict:
7/10. These past few weeks has been fantastic with me hitting all the right places to try. Maybe being sick did make everything taste better. LOL.

Breakfast Set, Mee Goreng Sejuk and Kopi Ice

After being down with the flu and sore throat for about a week (and still counting), it finally has taken a physical toll on me and it was such a hectic week. Started the working weekday with the HOD getting in my face and scolding me out of nowhere just because she has a bad mood. It's not enough that I'm able to complete my task at my own stipulated time? Also, is there even the need to rob me of one more day when I actually mentioned that I will complete it by Monday which means Monday should still be the day left for me to finish off my work but she didn't allow me? Anyway, so the working week finally came to a close and I collapsed exhausted on my bed on Friday night at midnight.

Due to my health issues, I'm always unable to sleep soundly throughout the night and will always wake up at around 3am once and around 6am once. I can't remember if that happened at all on that Saturday but most likely it did. I'm just too exhausted to recall it happening. I finally awoke once at 10:30am. That's the one time I remember waking up exhausted still and went back to bed before finally rising for good at 2:30pm. I tried going back to sleep because I was still so sleepy and groggy and just don't feel like doing anything including arising from my bed and get out. I finally succumbed to it because it didn't seem like it's working in getting back to sleep at all. And so off I went to Bangsar to find something to eat. Might as well eat if I can't sleep. LOL.

At first, I really wanted to try Huck's Cafe which is a restaurant that's in a house but I'm unsure of it's opening hours and am only sure of the 7pm opening time and not the 3pm opening time and so I decided to go for the safe choice which is Straits Food Company. Straits Food Company is a Baba Nyonya eatery which though the name may sound like some conglomerate business entity, it really just resembles the style of a Chinese Kopitiam. That's just it. The drawings on the wall may just seemed like a tactical gimmick for a muhibbah Malaysian style place of refuge with writings of the Indian, Chinese and English language all around. Surprisingly for me, though it's way before dinnertime and it's just past tea time, there's plenty of people filling up the place having a chit chat with their friends around with me as the only lone diner there for the moment. LOL.

I was so hungry having eaten only half a bag of chips for dinner yesterday that I decided to order their Breakfast Set which is the combination of their 2 half boiled eggs and Kaya Butter Bun and also their Mee Goreng Sejuk in addition to a Kopi Ice. The orders came in quick, very quick. Everything was at my table within 5 minutes time and the only thing that's the slowest was probably the half boiled eggs that needs to came with the bun that's already lost it's heat awaiting for the eggs to boil. LOL. The Mee Goreng Sejuk looks delicious but do not be fooled by the name Sejuk which means cold. That carried no real meaning to the temperature because the mee goreng was hot. The only reason for the Sejuk word added to it was because of the generous portion of cucumber strips added into the noodles and a twist of some lime in it. Other than that, there's nothing cold about these noodles. In fact, I would say it's fiery hot! It was very spicy having coated with their sambal coherently with the noodles but it was downright delicious to me. So a word of caution for those who can't take spicy, this is NOT a dish for you. The half boiled egg was done proper and the Kaya Butter Bun was just plain Jane to me. Nothing special. The thing I like the most - the Mee Goreng Sejuk. Awesome! The Kopi Ice is just one of those kopitiam style. In fact, wasn't even close because it tasted very diluted of water and is very sugary.

The day ended for me over at Straits Food Company after an hour of being there and I curiously scouted out Huck's Cafe as well. Like I said. Huck's Cafe is just a house. No sign saying that it's a restaurant but it sure is that place.

Total Wallet Damage:
RM11.50. Food is quite cheap at this time and age but of course it's not for those people whose looking for a very solid meal. It's more of a snack for those big eaters but is excellent for those who are light eaters. Oh, and 6% GST is charged.

Final Verdict:
7/10. Not a bad place to chill and eat and watch the world go by. I certainly love this stretch of neighborhood which is quiet and also brings back quite a lot of memories for me.

Since there's a buy 1 free 1 on their cold brew, I went for that and their pizza Tozza Sunny Concerto

After cleaning my house, I decided to go for an early dinner so that I can knock off to bed as soon as I can seeing that I am under the weather with a flu in place. I was initially heading to LewisGene but spotting this place which I never noticed it before, I decided to give this place a shot.

LN Fortunate Coffee (LN stands for Loving Nature) is a healthy eats place and only serves hand brewed coffee. They don't have a coffee machine nor do they serve it with milk. They only serve it black. The place is very soothing and has a very calming effect. The background music resembles that of a spa place to sooth your inner soul or something like that. LOL. Anyway, I first wanted the hand pour coffee but they recommended me to get the cold brew because they're having a buy 1 free 1 promotion. At first I rejected it since I wasn't feeling well so I don't want to drink so much coffee but he mentioned to me that I can take it home which is a good suggestion since it is cold brew anyway and you can just keep it in the fridge. And so I decided to go with that with the Ethiopian Beans being tried first and the Kenyan beans cold brew to be taken home.

They unusually serve the cold brew with a wine glass which is the first time I'm seeing. Of course, it's housed in it's own branded bottle as well so pouring it into the wine glass containing ice is optional and entirely up to you. The cold brew was lovely. Nice floral taste to it and some sweetness in it. Very nice coffee. Suits my taste very much. Although I'm not a fan of cold brew because having it chilled hides certain characteristics of the coffee, this one is still very nice and it tasted just like a hand poured coffee instead of purely cold brew. There's still a lot of taste that goes on in the coffee brew and certainly didn't disappoint me.

The Tozza took some time for them to prepare and when it's served, the very nice and friendly staff warned me that it's hot and to be careful. It's nicely cut up in canape bite size pieces. The Tozza wasn't as hot as I expect it to be and the taste of it I have to say is a little bland. The tastiest ingredient in this dish is actually the sourdough bread that the use as base. That actually emitted the most taste of all. Not even the apple exhibit any strong taste whatsoever and the cold brew can easily beat the apples taste in sweetness. I know it's supposed to be healthy eats but I think they can further improve by adding more sweeter apples. I have a hunch that they bake it along with the apple when put in the over which kills of the natural sweet taste of it. Hence it's much drier and doesn't flow out it's apple juices at all. The rest of the ingredients were red and green capsicum and in their menu they stated almonds. I guess it must be crushed up and sprinkled on it. I did provided my feedback to them and they were so nice and gracefully accepted it. They also told me that on the top is actually their own made soy-based cheese which has a yogurt like texture through my observation on top.

However, their ambiance is good, their service is excellent and their coffee is very good. I wouldn't mind coming back for those. Oh. They also seems to be like a bakery where they sell some bread stuff as well. As I said before, their sourdough bread that was used as the base of the Tozza was quite nice. So I don't really mind the bread as well. :)

Total Wallet Damage:
RM31. RM15 for the buy 1 free 1 cold brew and RM16 for the Tozza which is quite reasonable for their price.

Final Verdict:
8/10. The ambiance is what I like the most followed closely by their nice coffee. Something that I would surely want to have again one day.

Presso Bomb and Bella's Nasi Lemak

Much hype has been heard about this place but I still refrain from visiting this place until one Sunday, I had no idea where to go and that's where I just head out to go here.

Although currently there's a heat wave ongoing and this is a place that's not air conditioned, it's not a problem when I sat inside. It's pretty breezy with an industrial fan blowing at one end and circulating the air around making it quite okay and cooling. It was just after the Breakfast Set session and too soon for the lunch one but I didn't mind since I had my eye in trying out the Presso Bomb. And for something to eat, I went with the Bella's Nasi Lemak which is only available on Sundays.

The Presso Bomb is a unique and interesting drink where it's served with a shot of espresso and a bottle of locally made Ais Krim Soda (Ice Cream Soda) drink. The friendly staff showed me how to drink that and that is you first pour in the Ice Cream Soda into the cup provided and once you've filled it up, you just drop the whole shot cup inside that filled cup! I watched it as it instantly changed from the clear color of the fizzy drink to the darkness of the coffee when it's mixed together. The drink is very delicious and just like what they mentioned, when the two common drinks are fused together, it didn't taste like either one. It's neither like Ais Krim Soda nor coffee. To put it simply, it tasted to me like the taste similar to that of root beer. There's some sweetness in it but there's also elements of coffee taste that's in it as well. Kind of like Nitro coffee only thing is this is fizzier and it's sweet while Nitro Coffee taste smooth and creamy like stout.

As for the Bella's Nasi Lemak, the wrapping that contains the food is in a wrapper that has some sort of pattern design on it. This indicates to me that it looks like the wrapping is more expensive than the normal ones. The thing about this nasi lemak is that it comes with fried chicken that taste savory with some saltiness in it's taste. Along with that, there's of course the Ikan Bilis (anchovies) an egg and their sambal has some sweetness in it along with it being a little spicy. It somehow worked and came together as the chicken seems to be the main featured ingredient in that nasi lemak.

I didn't stay long there as I think I'm not feeling so good with a sore throat and my body muscles aching and so I left as soon as I've finished off that really good Presso Bomb drink/

Total Wallet Damage:
RM29. RM14 for the Presso Bomb, RM15 for the Nasi Lemak.

Final Verdict:
8/10. Nice place to chill even though it's not air conditioned and superb unique drink and food.

Chili Bean Paste Mackerel Bento Set and Double Shot Natural (Sun Dried) vs Washed Coffee

Unmotivated and down, I was unable to move out of my bed for the whole of Saturday. But when nighttime came, I thought to myself that this is bad and that I really oughtta drag myself out of bed and into the open to search for food. And so that's what I did. I soon ended up in Nu Sentral before finally deciding to try at this place called KoHi.

A Taiwanese style kind of cafe, KoHi is very pleasing to the eye and seems to give a lot to aesthetic value. Everything just look nice and pretty. Their signboard consists of letters resembling that of Scrabble tiles with numbers as a subscript on the alphabet. Manned by all foreign workers (I believe all of them are Myanmarese), they struggle to communicate with me with their limited command of English but I finally got their message of indicating to me that the Chili Bean Paste Mackerel is a Bento Set and that it comes with 2 side dishes on it and a drink and he also finally got my message of still insisting in wanting their coffee of Natural (Sun Dried) vs Washed Coffee. Mind you the Bento Set drink has 2 choices, either the iced lime juice or the ice cold brew coffee which of course I chose the iced lime juice out of pure impression of not to be thought of as a lunatic, even though I am one. LOL.

The lime juice was an easy pour and serve method but from what I tasted, it seems pure to me in using real lime instead of the syrup mixture which I'm well pleased with. Soon, the Bento Set arrived. As I mentioned earlier, everything in this cafe has to be beautifully served and that includes the presentation of their drinks and food. The iced lime drink that was served earlier, though it's just a simple drink, it's served in a coaster made out entirely of ice cream sticks. As for the Bento Set, they put it in a pretty tiffin container where the top portion will hold the mackerel along with the 2 side dishes which are vegetables and a half salted egg. Below of that would be the rice all pretty equipped with black sesame sprinkled on it and a cherry tomato on top. The food was not bad in it's taste but the mackerel is kind of a choking hazard to me because there's bones in it. It's been so long since I've ate fish with bones that I forgot how to properly eat it without accidentally swallowing some fish bones. LOL. Anyway, the taste was okay but then again, this is a dish where you can easily get from Chinese Kopitiam style restaurants as well for cheaper price but of course over here you'll get it served in a nice package and a very eye pleasing ambiance.

As for the coffee, the Natural (Sun Dried) vs Washed Coffee is served in 2 separate cups with a crate like coaster made entirely of ice cream sticks. Also, they ensured that it's colored red/orange on one side and blue on the other to give you a clear indication of which is which. Along with that, there's a card served together that tells you what the coffee is and how it should taste like. For the Natural (Sun Dried), they indicated that it's Sumatra Arabica from Indonesia and should taste like Red Grapefruit with floral aroma while the Washed Coffee is also from Indonesia and is the West Java Arabica coffee and should taste crisp and integrated acidity and buttery texture with long sweet tone. Lets just ignore those because I got nothing of that sort from their coffee at all. The only consolation is the great presentation. Other than that, it holds nothing much in terms of coffee taste and only tasted like diluted coffee drinks. I find that I tasted more of water taste than coffee taste. At the end of the cup, I did get a slightly stronger coffee taste on both with the Washed Coffee a much more whole and stronger taste but overall, it still is a very weak coffee with no sweet nor fruity taste to it. It's just that the Washed Coffee has a longer lingering taste due to it's stronger nature. Other than that, there's nothing to shout about. I wonder is it because it's Indonesian beans? I rarely drink Indonesian beans but would've thought that those are more bitter ones. I do however at times had tasted Sumatran beans before. Which is kind of Indonesian beans right? I don't know.

Anyway, the rest of the time that I was there were quite quiet inside the shop with the bustling noise of the shopping crowd outside echoing throughout the outlet. After a hearty meal, I headed back home in continuing my relationship with my bed.

Total Wallet Damage:
RM45.10. The coffee is much more expensive than the bento set. LOL. Coffe is RM21.20 while the bento set is RM20.03. There's 10% service charge and 6% GST imposed.

Final Verdict:
5/10. Aside from the beautiful decoration of the place and the not bad food, there really isn't much to it to this place. Go here if you like a nice picture of your food (which I didn't manage to capture due to me not concentrating well in focusing my camera phone. Ish!) with pretty presentation or that you miss these kopitiam style Chinese dishes infused into some Japanese element into it.

The Spicy Beef lunch set and a Hot Latte

DISCLAIMER: This was not a lone dining experience.

Out of nowhere, I was asked along to join my colleagues for lunch and we started going to Subang Parade since they said it was so hot and needed a place that's air conditioned. So they all hopped into my car and off we went to this nearby destination for our lunch feast.

The initial plan was to eat at Uncle Lim's but when we passed by this place called Siam Coffee and Dining, one of them said he wanted to try this and so we went in. It was there and then I was suddenly surprised by my other colleague with her dropping the news that this is actually a farewell lunch for the guy. Not only was this surprised spring on me, the guy himself whom we're giving farewell to were not even told about this. LOL. Going along with this plot twist, we finally settled down on a nice round table.

Although I don't even know this place existed, there's plenty of people who's of the working crowd lunching there. They have this lunch set menu with many choices and it comes with Lemon tea (hot or cold) and a free soup on top of your main of choice. I went with the Spicy Beef rice set and ordered a Latte as an extra drink.

The place has a Chinese restaurant feel to it but to me hardly seemed well maintain with a bit of a dirty look to me and a little run down. The consolation to the ambiance would be that it had sunlight beaming in from their wall windows at the side which is covered up. Still, ample brightness from the sunlight are able to penetrate through. The place is fully run by foreign labors that are dark skin and none of any Thai element can be seen by me. Although the staff speaks English well enough, it's hard for me to understand their accent for some reason.

The drinks came first and foremost. After all, there's only a choice of either hot or cold Lemon Tea. Then, the guy later came with a tray of soup to distribute out to their customers. The free soup that was dispense was the Red Tom Yam Soup. It was spicy and pleasantly nice to drink. A quality soup which was proportioned in a small bowl to give as complimentary. This led to a good start. My Latte too came quite soon and I was surprised to see the ergonomic cup that I adore which is used at Coffee Sprex. Unfortunately, the coffee does not reflect the same level of goodness as Coffee Sprex as I felt that this coffee was bitter and seemed dark roasted. Though there's lots of milk being filled in with the coffee, it did little to downplay on it's bitterness. I fail to imagine how it would taste like espresso-wise.

The Spicy Beef Rice finally came to me and I dig in with my hungriness at an already alarming level. Basically, the Spicy Beef Rice is Kong Poh Beef Rice like the Chinese. But unlike the Chinese style which leans more towards spiciness, this one is sweeter in it's sauce rather than savory. Along with the meat, there's a side of salad placed beside the rice for your balance meal which as usual, I leave those things untouched. The taste is quite okay and I don't mind trying their other type of rice or even noodles from their ala carte menu. Just that the ambiance does nothing to impress me.

Total Wallet Damage:
Again, not sure. LOL. But I think their set lunch amount to RM13.90 while the Latte is RM7.50? Didn't take note of it.

Final Verdict:
6/10. It's nice to have something different like this once in a while. I also see a lot of Malays coming to this place as well so I guess their pork free ways are clearly very acceptable with them. Didn't see any Halal certification though.

Spaghetti Beef Bolognese and Hot Latte

Oasis Square Damansara seems to be dying down on many eateries while some new ones came up. Madeleine Bistro was one of it that came up last year.

Having the cafe versions inside Sunway Medical Centre and Sunway University, they finally branched out of the vicinity and opened an outlet at Oasis Square which they call it a bistro. I'm not sure what differs between these outlets and whether their cafes contain any food since I've never visited it before but all I know is that this Oasis Square branch consists of proper solid meals.

Visiting it on a weekday afternoon, like many eating places around here, they do offer set lunches as well which costs only RM10nett but I chose to opt for the ala carte menu because I want to order coffee to quell my addiction and to calm my nerves and also to explore the freedom of a full menu at my disposal in choosing my main dish. LOL. I soon decided upon the Spaghetti Beef Bolognese and as usual, a cup of Latte.

Madeleine Bistro (which is also a Patisserie and cafe at the other two outlets in Sunway) has really big tables and chairs giving you ample space but that leaves them limited in their seating arrangement. Not to mention their display of some cakes in the middle of the outlet which has taken a huge chunk of space in the middle. Their almost full house has got me a little worried and intimidated when I saw it not having much of a place for me but the maitre d' assured me the seating and I felt like a king sitting a rather large area that's for 4 person but contain space enough for 8 people. LOL. The place gives out a calming sense to me and the decorative bookshelf that's filled with lots of random items reminds me of Talent Lounge.

Their staff gives out really excellent service where they appropriately ask whether you like dessert at the correct time and in a non-intrusive way. They're also attentive to your needs so calling them was never a problem. But getting my lunch to me took a little longer than I expect. After all, it's just Pasta and the simplest one to boot but still it took around probably 10 minutes. Still, I wasn't in a hurry so no harm done. They specify in their menu that they use Agnesi pasta from Italy which is the oldest pasta manufacturer and although I do like it's texture, I don't know how to taste the difference between this and other pasta. Of course in addition to it, the vital role of the sauce also place a very huge contributing factor. In this case, the tomato base sauce with a herb taste finish tasted fine but I can't detect anything that's over the top fantastic. Nonetheless, they meet my standard taste requirement which is acceptably edible.

As for their coffee, they're using Coffex Coffee, the 100% Arabica blend that's medium roasted. The coffee tasted very mild in it's coffee taste and the milk balance with the coffee seems a bit off to me with the milk taste overpowering the coffee a little too much seeing that the coffee has such a mild taste. But then again, the coffee only costs RM8.50 which isn't quite a big deal for me. In addition to it, there's also a nice cookie that's given along with your coffee but the choice of flavor is a little unusual in my opinion. The cookie tasted great and has a buttery lemon flavor to it. Although the taste was nice, it has no semblance with the coffee and it's better as it's own entity than to be taken along with the coffee because they just don't mix together.

This place seems to be quite a hit with the lunch crowd with many visiting it and occupying most of it's seats. I would like to return again seeing that it has such a nice environment and such attentive staff. A nice alternative to MiniMe.

Total Wallet Damage:
RM22.50. As mentioned before, RM8.50 for the coffee; RM14 for the pasta. 6% GST is subjected.

Final Verdict:
7/10. A nice place for me to hideaway from the outside busy world and leave my worries behind.
