Ochado Signature Bubble Tea @ Paradigm Mall

Ochado Signature Bubble Tea @ Paradigm Mall – It’s post about Paradigm Mall again, I am not promoting, just can’t help myself from sharing with you guys of what I have tried at the mall. Here’s another F&B outlet I went in Paradigm Mall – Ochado Signature bubble tea cafe. I believe many of you have heard about Ochado. =D

Last time, I was a Taiwanese bubble fan, but now, I don’t really drink a lot because it’s fattening, but then I still drink occasionally. There’s many bubble tea outlet in Paradigm Mall, like Each A Cup, Chatime, Meet Fresh, and more I think. But then this Ochado Signature is the most appealing to me with a nice, simple and clean cafe design, which is a good place to chit chat with friends.

I visited the cafe on the first day went to Paradigm Mall with Arron and Carmen, we wanted a place to sit down and talk and found this. I am not really familiar with Ochado’s beverage, I am more to Chatime and Gongcha. After looking at the menu, I ordered myself a Ochado Pop Egg Milk Tea.

Pop Egg is a pearl replacement in the milk tea and it pops once it’s in your mouth, kinda like caviar, but cheap version. It pops out a sweet taste. Well, it’s fun popping in your mouth but then I prefer bubble pearl which allows me to chew. Pop egg is too fast and has no sensation in the mouth. By the way, it costs RM5.90 for the regular cup of Pop Egg Milk Tea.

许留山甜品 Hui Lao Shan Hong Kong Desserts @ 1 Utama

许留山甜品 Hui Lao Shan Hong Kong Desserts @ 1 Utama – I can’t believe Hui Lao Shan, the famous desserts chain in Hong Kong is in Malaysia. Few years ago, Singapore’s airport had out outlet but closed down. Many people also came to my blog to ask about the franchise question but I have no idea how to answer them, but now they are really here in Kuala Lumpur, one outlet at 1 Utama Shopping Mall, Damansara Utama and another one is at Pavilion Shopping Mall, Bukit Bintang.

It is located at the newly renovated old wings of 1 Utama Shopping Mall. I accidentally passed by the place while doing some window shopping then brother and I went to try out the desserts. I actually tried it before when I traveled to Hong Kong few years back but seldom eat it already because the price went up in Hong Kong.

Surprisingly, the price in Malaysia is cheaper, I would say affordable too. The menu is exactly the same as what you could find in Hong Kong and the staffs tried to speak Cantonese in Hong Kong accent. You can also find the box of plastic disposable spoon and fork same in Hong Kong too.

Brother ordered one Mango Fiesta 芒果小盛宴 (RM12.90) which consists of 3 thing, a mango ice cream, a mango ice-cream-cake thingy, and a mango blended with small glutinous ball (tang yuan). The mango ice-cream-cake-thingy is kinda nice it’s not really ice cream, but it’s not soft, I don’t know how to describe it, it’s special. Haha.

Mine is the Mango & Fruits Combo 什果芒果捞野 (RM12.90), this one basically is a very healthy fruit plates with a foundation of mango blended ice and topped with various fruits like coconut jelly, kiwi, strawberry, watermelon, honeydew and lots of sweet mango! Yums. Although, the price is not very cheap, but then still cheaper than in Hong Kong, so eating it once in a while is OK. Haha. But then the location in 1 Utama is not very good as it’s not easily spotted by people. They should open one in SS15, Subang Jaya, or maybe Paradigm Mall, which are near to me! Hahaha.

Another Taiwanese Milk Tea – Mocato Tea @ SS15, Subang Jaya

Another Taiwanese Milk Tea – Mocato Tea @ SS15, Subang Jaya – SS15, Subang Jaya is getting to become a mini-Taiwan franchise neighbourhood with so many Taiwanese food, beverage and desserts shop popping up at there like Chatime, Snowflakes, Coco, Par Tea Time, HOTSTAR XXXL Chicken, and this one Mocato Tea, which is created by founder of Jogoya Japanese Buffet.

My Penang friend, Yiphing and Chien Chern came to dinner with me and after dinner we didn’t know where to go, randomly suggested SS15. At SS15, we randomly came to Mocato Tea because it’s something new that we haven’t try before. It’s quieter there, and the interior ambience is kinda cool too! They have Unifi hotspot somemore for high speed Internet.

Actually nowadays bubble tea feels all the same to me, Gong Cha, Chatime, Sharetea and so many more. It’s just for the fun of drinking it and spending time at a different environment. I ordered myself a Black Jelly Milk Tea (RM5.90 regular cup) and it’s actually standard milk tea with a kind of stripe chewy black jelly. Very springy, very Q, but I prefer pearl more.

Overall, it’s kinda good and if you order pearl, they give you a big cup of pearl. So far so good, will come back to this place. =)

Cool Cafe – +Wondermilk, Damansara Uptown

Cool Cafe – +Wondermilk, Damansara Uptown – +Wondermilk Cafe is a very cool cafe located in Damasara Uptown. Why I mentioned it’s cool is because of the interior decorations which is very artsy and beautiful, so does the food choice. The cafe is decorated with many artsy stuff like decal, photoframe, typography, warm lighting and has nice cafe music playing along.

I went there with my dear, Hueisean for a little afternoon tea. +Wondermilk Cafe is famous for cupcakes and sandwiches. Since we were not really hungry, we just ordered one piece of cupcakes and a beverage. This is also to save cost because cupcakes are expensive. Haha.

Free wifi is available at there. We chat chat and take photos at there and eat the Chocolate Oreo Cupcake (RM4.50/cuppacake). It tasted not very sweet, just nice and crunchy a bit. Kinda good.

As for the beverage, I ordered a Minty Lime Chiller (RM8.90) which is lime + soda + mint leaves which is very refreshing and quenching. It’s kinda expensive, I can make the same thing at home. Haha.

She’s so happy! =D

Overall, the cafe is very comfortable, but price wise is kinda high. They sell Lomography camera too! ‘Drink More Milk’ – motto of +Wondermilk Cafe.

Poco Homemade – Cozy Homemade Desserts & Art Craft Cafe

Poco Homemade – Homemade Desserts & Art Craft Cafe (Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur) – Poco Homemade is a cafe located in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur, mainly selling daily western and Japanese-style of homemade desserts like cake. Besides, they do sell simple Japanese dishes like Curry Katsu, and some local-style lunch meal. On top of that, it’s also a art craft store, selling handmade cute collections.

The cafe is very unique and different from a typical kopitiam in Malaysia, or Starbucks. I went there with a few friends to check out the place for a project but later this place was rejected by the lecturer. Nevertheless, we did have a nice afternoon at there.

Located in the housing area of Bangsar, Poco Homemade looks different from others shop at the area. The blue color entrance looks so-not-like-Malaysia and upon entering, it felt very cozy, very warm and relaxing with nice French cafe music playing on the background.

The interior decor is very simple, with lots of art crafts decorations at every corner of the cafe and filled with retro second hand furniture. In there, I do not feel like I am in Malaysia, it’s like somewhere else, Taiwan, Japan, Northern Europe maybe.

There is a wall showcasing customer’s writeup on “My Ambition”, something that is usually done during primary school time for the first essay writing. The cafe some times used for workshop, and mini music session.

We were happy to chat with the kind owner, she said that she was inspired to open such cafe with her husband after visiting this kind of cafe in Japan.

Found an antique camera, Agfa!

We ordered some in-house special desserts to try out, price wise is not really cheap because of the small portion Every pax has to order a drink minimum which I don’t really like about this.

Homemade Custard Cake (RM9), this is very soft, not too sweet and I find it very pleasing and nice.

Dacquoise (Matcha flavour) (RM12), a kind of dessert cake from France made with layers of almond mergue and buttercream. Well it’s crunchy, and the mid part is creamy like ice cream. It’s not so crunchy like a biscuit, yet it’s just feel like another kind of biscuit to me. Very special, very nice, but not cheap for just only two pieces. Haha.

Soya Green Tea (RM6), nice combination of green tea and soya milk. I taste soya milk more, but there’s taste of green tea too. Good!

Well, the place is very enjoying and calm. It felt very peaceful and seems as if away from the busy city of Kuala Lumpur. You need not to travel to Northern Europe or Japan to experience this kind of cafe. =D

Kopi C @ China House – Cafe & Gallery In Heritage Shophouse

Kopi C @ China House – Cafe & Gallery In Heritage Shophouse – Penang has many colonial-style shophouses which are very beautiful and retro located in the heart of UNESCO World Heritage City of George Town. Nowadays, many of these shophouses are refurbished and converted into heritage hotel, inn, cafe, gallery and gift shop.

China House is a good use of colonial-style shophouses converted into a shophouse with gallery, cafe, restaurants, retail and a place to chill and relax with your friends. In China House, there’s many different section, one section is the Kopi C (known as Kopi Cine) which serves nice coffee and freshly baked cakes and desserts.

Initially, I was thinking of having a nice afternoon tea at Kopi Cine, Muntri Street, later only found out that it has moved into China House. So I went to search for the China House. It’s located on Beach Street, before the old fire station. The China House is linked together with the shophouse at the back, which reveal a long and narrow interior.

The interior of Kopi C is very retro, blended old Penang’s decorations with Chinese & Western-style. I ordered their in-house special cake – Tiramisu (RM12/slice) and a slice of Mushroom Quiche (RM8/slice) which is a pie filled with mushroom and onion.

With some soft music, Kopi C is indeed a nice hangout spot in the afternoon, for good cakes, good chat and good environment. Hueisean loves the place a lot, and the Tiramisu too! Besides housing the Kopi C, China House also houses a gallery at the 2nd level, an open space for event, a Chinese restaurant, a courtyard, a reading zone and also a bar with live music at night.

Meet Fresh Taiwanese Desserts At Gurney Paragon

Meet Fresh Taiwanese Desserts At Gurney Paragon – Who say Penang doesn’t have Snowflakes? Ya, Penang really doesn’t have Snowflakes, but then Penang has Meet Fresh & Blackball Taiwanese Desserts. Forget about Snowflakes already, because I am now in love with Meet Fresh Taiwanese Desserts at Gurney Paragon.

Now, Penang people has no need to jealous of people eating Snowflakes in Klang Valley, because you can head to Gurney Paragon and Gurney Plaza for Meet Fresh. Opened about 2 months ago, Meet Fresh is currently my favourite and the location of the outlet is perfect because it’s near to my place. Haha.

Meet Fresh serves a variety of Taiwanese desserts like grass jelly with pearl, red bean, and more. Besides, they also serve beverage and some little snack food which is pretty cool.

Same like Snowflakes, you get a vibrating device which will vibrate when your desserts are ready.

Milk for your Signature Herb Jelly. I like this.

Signature Herb Jelly – Cold.

My current favourite Meet Fresh’s desserts is the Signature Herb Jelly Cold (RM6.90). The taro balls are so chewy and there’s many pearl. Adding in a small cup of milk make the desserts taste sweet and superb. If you have a member card (RM10/signup), you can get a 10% off your total price. You can also collect 10 stamps and get a free desserts too.

Beancurd Toufu Fa With Red Bean.

Signature Herb Jelly – HOT. The grass jelly is too waterish which I don’t like but the taro balls are chewy enough and I like. =D

I guess I’m gonna try other thing from their menu, any recommendation? I just realised that Gurney Plaza also has an outlet on the 3rd floor, so those who are lazy to walk to Gurney Paragon can straight eat at Gurney Plaza.

Lunch At Wen Chang Hainan Chicken Rice

Lunch At Wen Chang Hainan Chicken Rice – One of my favourite Hainanese chicken rice stall in Penang is this Wen Chang Chicken Rice that’s located in the UNESCO World Heritage City of George Town on Cintra Street. It had over decade of history and it serves authentic Hainanese Chicken Rice. Wen Chang is actually a district in Hainan, China. The owner of the restaurant is also a Hainanese.

Dad and I always dine at there during lunch time. Wen Chang Chicken Rice is also very famous as it has won before in a chicken rice competition. What I like about Wen Chang is the rice and the white steam chicken which is so tender and smooth.

One thing that must not be missed at the Wen Chang Chicken Rice is the Hainanese Kopi-Peng (Ice Coffee) which has a good blend of condensed milk and local coffee powder.

You can try out the chicken feet with mushroom in soy sauce too which I think it’s pretty good. But for the Loh Bak, it’s not crunchy enough. Every set of chicken rice comes with a bowl of soup. You can pick between white steamed chicken or roasted chicken.

Bangkok: Green Shirt T&K Seafood, Yaowarat Chinatown

Click here for more posts about my Bangkok Trip.

Bangkok Trip: Green Shirt T&K Seafood, Chinatown (Day 2) – Do you know Thailand actually has got a lot of good food and delicacies to eat? I feel Thai food has the closest taste to our local Malaysia food because of the spiciness and the ingredient use.

One food corner that must not miss out when visiting Bangkok, Thailand is the T&K Seafood in Yaowarat Chinatown. The T&K Seafood is also known as “Green Shirt” seafood in Chinatown because that all of their worker wears a sporty green polo tee as uniform. And what’s interesting is, located right across the street is the R&L Seafood which all of their worker wears red colour uniform.

Obviously, both of them are competing with each other, though T&K Seafood is the original and more famous one. Nevertheless, both of them are always full-house when night falls.

Green shirt gang of T&K Seafood.

Red shirt gang of R&L Seafood.

We went there with a cab. The cab charged us 200Baht at first, and after some bargain, it’s 150Baht. Upon arriving, I was pretty amazed that the number of people waiting for a place to sit. It’s very happenings, very full and very cool. It’s not only famous to the tourists, but also among local Thai too.

T&K Seafood is like our local’s zhu char / dai chao 煮炒 in Malaysia. It’s a stall by the roadside with many table placed by the road.

Vegetable that I don’t know #1.

Vegetable that I don’t know #2.

Deep fried garlic fish which is not really awesome.

Egg and crab meet in crab shell which tasted not bad, kinda special.

Curry crab which is nice to eat with white rice.

The food was serve in about 15 minutes, pretty fast given that there’s so many people at there. Overall the food taste is kinda good, and price wise not that pricey, but a little bit more than affordable. I think its famous-ness explains the price.

After our dinner at T&K Seafood, we went for a walk along Chinatown. It’s really fun to see huge Chinese sign hanging on the street, it doesn’t really feels like China to me because of the presence of Thai words and Thai people. Though, it’s pretty cool. Not many shops were open, but Chinatown in Bangkok is famous for street food like Wantan Mee, Chinese desserts like bird nest, shark fins soup, tang yuan and more.

We actually stopped by a desserts stall by the road side and have 2 bowl of desserts. The tang yuan was pretty spicy because of the ginger soup and the bird nests was sweet and nice. Both for only 150Baht.

So, Chinatown is basically more about Chinese food, seafood, desserts and shark fins soup. That’s all here.

Next stop: We will go to Talad Rot Fai, a old train warehouse turn into a retro antique night market.
