Apple Crumble by Plan B

Apple Crumble by Plan B – Plan B, one famous restaurant in the Kuala Lumpur is well-known for the Apple Crumble tart. I have never eaten Apple Crumble in my life before, nor visited to the Plan B restaurant.

With some much of introduction and recommendation from my friend, finally I went to the nearest Plan B restaurant at Paradigm Mall @ Kelana Jaya.

Please ignore the thumbs up and focus on my face. Thumbs up is for you, not for the food. XD

It was a little tea time meal for me and my girlfriend, and Apple Crumble Tart was our only order at the restaurant. The service was kinda slow at that time although there’s not much customer in there. I wondered, why?

With much expectation, the Apple Crumble Tart (RM12) have to be good, I thought. Finally it’s arrived on our table after about 15 minutes of waiting. Sour cream, and the tart. Lovely looking little tart on the table. It’s a sweet little Apple Crumble Tart, but did not give it a go. I think the problem lies in our oriental taste buds. Perhaps, I am not a fan of Apple Crumble Tart. =D

So now, give me Apple Pie now, or Sherperd’s Pie, perhaps the Chinese Egg Tarts?

By the way, the interiors at Paradigm Mall is not fascinating, you should visit the outlet at Publika, Solaris Dutamas.

Malacca: Nadeje Cafe Mille Crepe Cake
Malacca: Nadeje Cafe Crepe Cake – There’s one thing that is very famous in Malacca, not the Chicken Rice Ball, not the Cendul, not a typical local food but it’s a kind of desserts, it’s layered mille crepe cake (thousand layer cake 千层蛋糕). Malacca must be familiar with this name – Nadeje, a famous cafe that makes good crepe cake and has a variety of flavours of them.

Every one was talking about it previously on Facebook, on Twitter and so here I am to check it out the place and of course, the crepe cake. There’s 3 outlets in Malacca, one in Melaka Raya, one in Dataran Pahlawan and the latest is at Jaya 99. We went to the most original outlet and that’s at Melaka Raya. It was 5.30pm and not surprise, people were waiting outside to be seated. It’s full house! We waited for like 20 minutes only then we got place to sit.

The interior decoration of the cafe is pretty cool and in a sense of contemporary design.

Looking at the menu, there’s many food for you to eat like pasta, chicken chops and more, but our main purpose of the visit was the crepe cakes! We ordered the crepe cake first at the counter upon entering and it costs RM9.50/slice. There’s many choices for you to pick and we picked 4 to try out. They are:
- Mango Crepe Cake
- Tiramisu Crepe Cake
- Chocolate Crepe Cake
- Original Crepe Cake
They all looked very pretty. The first few taste of them were good, they were sweet, but not overly sweet, and a strong essence of milk can be felt on our taste bud. It was nice, but eating more of them started to make me feel bored of it, it’s just too much of milk. Maybe, maybe it’s not really my favourite thing, or maybe it’s just too much, but I just felt enough of it after eating half. Some says it’s over-rated, some says it’s good,well, I’ll say, it’s good, BUT, it’s my first time eating crepe cake, so I can’t judge whether it’s the best or not. What do you think?

One more thing, original and chocolate are awesome.

糖百府 Tong Pak Fu Hong Kong Desserts

糖百府港式甜品 Tong Pak Fu Hong Kong Desserts – Went to Paradigm Mall today after class as I have a long break in between the next class and tried the Hong Kong desserts shop – Tong Pak Fu. This one is the real desserts franchise from Hong Kong, not to be confuse with the Penang-made Snowman Tang Bo Fu.

There’s various outlet of Tong Pak Fu in Malaysia, you can find it in Suria KLCC, Empire Shopping Gallery, Paradigm Mall and soon opening in Penang too! Tong Pak Fu serves a variety of Hong Kong desserts like Mango desserts, sesame paste, walnut paste, beverages and more icy desserts. There’s curry fish ball too!

We were really too free and spent about an hour plus at there. Taylor’s U is kinda stupid lately because they arranged my timetable in a poor manner. We have an hour class in the morning and in between we have about 6 hours break. What to do? Eat Tong Pak Fu. Check out the desserts that we have ordered.

Mango Fluffy Ice Series. RM8.80 for regular, the ice is very nice, love the pop eggs too, but not the tasteless Nata de Coco. It would be better with real mango cube. But overall, acceptable. =D

Horlicks Fluffy Ice Series. RM11.80 for Large. Pretty nice with grass jelly topping and the taste of horlicks in the ice is very strong. Good for horlicks fans.

Red Bean Paste. RM4.80. According to my friend Jia Hui, she said this is not good. The taste is weird and too saturated.

Sesame Ball. RM5.80. Basically, this is plain glutinous rice ball tang yuan with sesame topping. It would be awesome if there’s filling inside.

Well, I have got to say they are so-so only, the pictures in the menu do indeed look awesome, but taste wise is just normal. I would prefer Hui Lau Shan for mango and KTZ for sesame paste. =D However, the fluffy ice is very cool here.

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

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.

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.

Oishi Frozen Yogurt At 1st Avenue, Penang

[This is an invited food session]

Oishi Frozen Yogurt At 1st Avenue, Penang – Frozen yogurt, frozen yogurt. oh, frozen yogurt, they are now like everywhere in Penang. Many new outlets popping out here and there just like the Taiwanese bubble tea and desserts trend. People nowadays enjoy desserts very much.

On the highest floor in 1st Avenue, also known as Cloud 8, located right outside the Tanjung Golden Village Cinema, there locates a very new frozen yogurt kiosk with a very cute theme and name – Oishi Frozen Yogurt. Oishi Frozen Yogurt is the latest F&B outlet in 1st Avenue Mall and has just opened not more than a month.

I was very lucky to be invited to join a group of food bloggers to try out their yogurt. “Oishi” actually stands for yummy/delicious in Japanese and the pinkish setting portrays a kawaii cute theme of the mini desserts cafe.

Same as other yogurt shop, the yogurt is priced by the weight of the yogurt itself plus the topping. It costs at 49sen/10gms which is much cheaper than other yogurt shop in town. What’s interesting is that you can pick from more than 18 toppings for yogurt.

As for the yogurt choices, there’s four variety for you to pick from which are Peach, Raspberry, Original Yogurt, and a non-yogurt type, Belgian Chocolate Ice Cream.

After trying 4 of the yogurts, I found out that my 2 favourites are the Peach and Original Yogurt. They are sweet and sour which is just nice. Raspberry was rather sour to me and Belgian Chocolate is just another chocolate ice cream.

I get a chance to pick and mix the yogurts with any topping of my choice and the yogurt I took costs about RM12.25 which is rather reasonable with 2 yogurts and many toppings.

Well, do give it a try as I feel that the best part of it is the pricing and the peach yogurt which is just simply yummy.
