The previous night, I went to a party and got dehydrated due to me only managing 2 glasses of water for about 5 hours and the 3 glasses of beer that I have aggravated the situation since it's not really a hydrating agent but instead does the opposite. So I woke up today with a slight hangover. A friend text me and surprisingly I saw the message in just two minutes apart despite my phone on silent and was thinking of popping back to bed. The friend said wanted to hang out or something, I can't remember the actual words and I asked what time. But then she mentioned what was I planning instead and all I said was I'm just planning to nurse this headache I have. So I popped a Panadol and managed to numb the pain up. But unfortunately, she never got back to me as to when we were going on and after seeing a post on Instagram, I'm convinced she's already out with someone and didn't wanna be bothered and so I went back to bed.

But due to the morning tea I had in the morning and the Panadol in numbing my pain, I wasn't able to get back to sleep anymore and so decided to blog about Hecha Mecha that I had for dinner the night before. After duly done and relaxing a while at home, I decided to head out on my own anyway and decided upon Dal Komm at Uptown. It was raining really heavily when I started my journey. Unfortunately, there was a big splash of water that accidentally entered into my car and drenched my phone. Didn't think much about it and reached my destination in around 15 minutes time.

Dal Komm is a place where it's self service. There's an upstairs sitting area as well. It seems to me that it is a Korean type of cafe that serves Bingsu as well. They also have live performance from time to time and has already 5 outlets altogether including this Uptown outlet. The menu is all up for display on the board. So I decided to try their Flossy Chicken Cruffin and their Aloe Vera Latte.

It took a while but eventually the Aloe Vera Latte came first before the Cruffin and it was dispense to me before it with me still holding on to the calling device when your orders ready.

The Aloe Vera Latte taste quite pleasant and very milky. It has the right amount of sweetness and is very smooth due to the milk. But as I reach to the bottom of the mug, it was clear that all the aloe vera syrup was concentrated at the bottom and so it's undrinkable at the bottom due to the overly sweetness.

The Cruffin came in quite pretty in it's presentation. The cruffin is essentially a cross between a croissant and a muffin. So it's crispy and flaky at the outer layer but it's big enough to shape like a muffin. In fact, it's even bigger than a muffin even. For the Flossy Chicken, no surprise it's lavished with a very generous amount of Chicken floss on top. In addition to that, there's also a cooked egg at the center where below that and the chicken floss lies bbq sauce in between those and the pastry itself. The combination although may sound weird but it's quite nice to consume. Dal Komm Uptown is quite a relaxing and pleasant place to chill especially in these rainy weather.

Speaking of the rainy weather, I wanted to take pictures of the items I ordered with my phone but unfortunately, the deluge that was brought upon my phone has misted up my phone camera so badly, I couldn't take a decent picture. And so I only managed to take it using the front camera with that one photo above.

Later on in the day, I managed to take out the lens itself and started cleaning it. It looks okay for the moment and I hope it stays that way. Else, it's gonna take a while till I'm able to resume my Instagram and blog post since I may need to get a new phone or get a camera to snap my pictures. LOL.

Total Wallet Damage:
RM28.80. RM15.90 for the Cruffin and RM12.90 for the Latte. A bit pricey on their items.

Final Verdict:
6/10. Nothing special to me that brings it further to the top. Though the things that they produce is unique on it's own and it taste good, yet I still feel that they're a bit lacking in something. The price is a little more expensive than usual cafes.
