ALEXIS BSC

ALEXIS BSC
[ah-lek-sis BSC]
Halal; serves alcohol

My family and I have always been fans of Alexis, ever since it opened many years ago! We decided to go over there for my mom's birthday dinner and I'm pleased to say that Alexis still hasn't failed me!

Here's the entrance to the restaurant! Pretty quaint. You can already see from the outside that the restaurant has nice interior design (at least to me), and it kind of draws you in.

View from my seat. The restaurant is fairly big. There's a lot of room, especially for private functions. There's a bar area at the back too; assuming it's for the live performances they tend to have on weekends. They have a lot of decorative elements! The white shelves and cute light bulbs; kind of gives the place a very modern edge. And I kind of like how they exposed the ceiling; it goes well with everything.

This was the private space that my family and I sat nearby to. This space is for functions like birthdays and etc; you can make reservations for big pax and book this space!

Here's are the desserts! By this time, I was already eyeing the pavlova! Looks so yummy!

Here's a peek into the menu. Food is a tad pricey but I can't complain cause most of the food are delicious! Haha. This restaurant is obviously a special-occasion type of place.

I ordered the Pappardelle with meatballs (RM38) and a pot of hot mango tea. It was VERY filling; I felt bad that I couldn't finish everything! But I forced myself to engulf all the meatballs. Incredible portion for you big eaters out there! The mango tea; nothing to complain about. They provide honey for a healthier alternative to sugar, if you're interested! :)

As for dessert, we ordered a slice of pavlova (mixed berries meringue cake) and a slice of this very rich chocolate cake. I like the pavlova more because personally, refreshing cakes are the BEST. But the chocolate cake was also pretty delicious though it's quite a mouthful! For you chocolate lovers, this is the cake for you! It's not too sweet either so you won't feel sick of the taste while eating it.


Overall, our experience in Alexis was good. The service was great, ambiance was pretty nice to; I would say a nice place for you to dress up for dinner because people who eat there seem very snazzy and stylish (it IS Bangsar after all), and the food was satisfying! I especially loved the desserts! They were definitely the highlights of the night!

KOMUGI CAFE

KOMUGI CAFE
[ko-moo-jee ka-fey]
Halal

I happen to have stumbled upon this adorable cafe in Paradigm, while window shopping with my bff. It's a Japanese cafe which sells food, coffee, desserts, pastries and bread! It got so excited when I saw their displays! SO MUCH SWEETS! I have a sweet tooth so desserts are always a favourite. 

This is what you see before you are indulged with many pretty displays of desserts!

These are the first things I saw! CAKES! They look so pretty! I was trying to hard to control myself from over-spending.

They have macarons, cheese cake and pudding too! This got me extra excited!

View from my seat. I love the floor tiles! The 3-dimensional feel to it kind of makes the cafe stand out really well in the mall.

I ordered the Green Tea pudding (RM5.50) which was really delicious and creamy! Texture is similar to caramel pudding but the green tea flavour was very strong and nice! And also 3 macarons (RM4 each). Yellow : Mango, Black : Black Plantine and Turqoise : Blue Cacao. A little expensive for me, but luckily the macarons were VERY good and size was relatively big. Nice in texture, crunchy surface but chewy insides, which is how macarons should be like! My favourite is the Blue Cacao! Super good!

As for coffee, bff ordered a Vanilla latte (the one with Hello Kitty) whereas I ordered a Hazelnut Latte. The Hazelnut Latte was really good! So smooth and not too sweet! It was a refreshing cup of coffee! Loved it! Both drinks at RM11.90 each!

Here's a delicious close up of the latte art! 


Here is the coffee station! You can choose to order you coffee to-go from here!

I bought the original flavoured pudding and Hajuku Cheesecakes to bring back home! I can't help but feel happy while eating these two. The pudding is very similar to caramel pudding, it even has the caramel at the bottom of the tub. Texture is nice and smooth; a little egg-y so if most of you don't like that flavour then I'm not too sure if you will like this. The cheesecakes on the other hand, texture is like mousse, very soft and easy to eat. Though it's very small, it's very very filling! Not too sweet which I like. Highly recommended!


DETAILS : 

I would like to point out that this cafe's logo is extremely cute and simple! I like how the Japanese keep things minimal. Such a memorable statement piece.

I would say, one of my favourite dessert places! How can you not love Japanese desserts right? I absolutely love it! And would go back many many times!

BAD BOY COOKS

BAD BOY COOKS
[bad-boi-kook-ss]
Halal; Serves alcohol


If you're looking for cheap, Western food, this is the best place to be at! For you penny pinchers especially, it's a great place to save some money and to have very filling and pretty delicious Western food for a fraction of the price. 

This place is adorable eyh! The concept of the restaurant is a typical American diner, with checkered board tiled floors and a pop of red from the cushioned seats and old-fashion outdoor furniture. Super-like!

You can see the menu from the counter, some of the snacks and desserts on display (mostly their yummy cookies) and the alcohol that they serve too! Don't you think the colours of the restaurant suit the theme really well? Smart, using the colour red; since red stimulates hunger.

Here's the menu. As you can see, A LOT of the food are only at 1-digit prices! So insane! I got so excited when I saw how cheap the food is! The best is the section of the menu (on the bottom part of the photo), you can order anything you want, add RM1 and you get a drink! Choices of Ice Lime Tea, Ice Green Tea and Ice Lime Juice! So awesome!

My bff ordered the Grilled Fish and Prawns (RM12) with Pomodoro sauce. It comes with coleslaw and chunky fries! It was a pretty good meal, nothing super special but I suppose the portion was well worth the cost.

My other friend only ordered a snack and coffee! Bad Boy Fries (RM4) and a Cappucino (RM5). I tried the coffee and it was pretty good! Surprisingly good and cheap!

I had the Super BB, which was the most expensive hot dog dish on their menu (RM18). The hot dog consisted of a chicken sausage, beef bacon, cheese, grilled onions, pomodoro sauce and a nice fried egg! Onion rings and chunky fries came as side dishes! Oh my goodness was this filling and pretty scrumptious too! The calories I've engulfed from this dish was too darn high! Haha. But I really liked it. It was super filling. A very American dish, I would say. Also, I had a cup of mocha (RM6). Really not bad but of course, could be nicer. Really big serving of mocha though!

For dessert, my friends and I shared the signature Bad Boy Cooks dessert, which is BAD BOY MADNESS (RM19). It was a behemoth of a dessert! As you can see from the photo above, this dish consist of EVERYTHING from the dessert menu! It was REALLY sinful and good but wow, very filling and very difficult to finish! I suggest sharing this amongst 5 - 8 people! There was SO MUCH. But I loved it! I especially loved the cookie, ice cream, chocolate chip, banana and whipped cream TOGETHER. So good!


Over all, a pretty nice place to eat in. I enjoyed the food even though it was, in my honest opinion, only so-so, but for the price, it was really worth it. My favourite was of course, the dessert! Really good! But you'll feel so guilty after eating it! So much sugar and chocolate! But once in a while, it's okay to indulge, right? Haha. I highly recommend this restaurant, if you wish to have a filling meal that won't burn a hole in your wallet.
