FAT SPOON CAFE

FAT SPOON CAFE

[fat-spoon cafe]
Halal

This restaurant was the first artsy fartsy place I've ever been to. It sparked my interest in exploring new places to dine in! So this is a special feature, also because one of my favourite dishes is from this place! It's also their signature dish!

Fat Spoon from the outside! It's very humble and charming. A pretty popular place for the people of Uptown Damansara to chill in. It's a bit difficult to find parking during busy hours though, since it's Uptown after all. I suggest you go on weekends when offices are closed! More chances of getting parking!

View from my seat. You can see the menu on the board up there!

Here's the little drinks counter and cashier. You can also have a look at whatever desserts are available.

I only go to Fat Spoon for one particular dish that they serve, which is the Spicy Beef Macaroni Soup (RM11.90). I know, it's kinda strange, eating beef soup with macaroni, but it's super nice! It's spicy and filled with chunks of ground beef! There's hints coriander inside so those of you who seem to despise coriander, prepare yourself.

I had a cup of mocha afterwards to quench my caffeine thirst. The mocha was so-so, but gotta give them props for the coffee art. Really cute! Sorry, I don't remember the price of the mocha but I'm very sure it's less than RM10. 

DETAILS : 

I like their use of normal ... could I say "local" materials? Haha. Local in a sense that, you could find those pots and pans, the little gate partition and even the cloth they use at any Malaysian kampung house! It's charming and very cute.

Over all, the food was good. I really like the Spicy Macaroni Soup and have always been going back just for that. The ambiance is pleasant and service was satisfactory. Waiters and managers were very attentive but could be friendlier with guest. Still a place worth visiting!

SHORT UPDATE! Went over to Bangsar the other day for a bit with my bestie. We stopped by this charming looking cafe called Coffea Coffee! Best decision ever! It was a cute cafe with good coffee and good service!

What the outside looks like! Taken from BangsarBabe's website (because again, I forgot to take a photo myself). Credits to BangsarBabe! :)

I absolutely adore the modern design of this cafe! The play of raw materials is wonderful! Concrete textures and raw timber go very nicely together!

The view of the entrance! Look at those timber textured walls! Gorgeous details!

Bestie ordered a Green Tea Latte whereas I ordered a Vanilla Latte! Super delicious and smooth. Not too sweet either! Loved it! Price ranges from RM11 - RM20.

Over all, super loved this cafe. Bestie and I stayed there's for quite a while, chit chatting and sipping on our coffee. The environment was great and the baristas/waiters were all really friendly! Greeted us with smiles and well wishes! Would definitely go back there for a cup of coffee whenever I'm in Bangsar!

HI HI! Very sorry for the lack of updates lately. I've been so busy with studies. But I'm back! Here with a SHORT UPDATE about Mr. and Ms. Cafe in Oasis Ara Damansara! :D Bestie and I wanted to go for a snack and coffee break, so we decided to try out this cafe!

Photo taken from their official FB page. This is what the entrance looks like!

A photo summary of the whole cafe! Left side is a cute little corner with cushions; I suppose it caters to families with kids cause there's room to play there. Right side is normal seating area. Simple and comfy cafe.

Bestie and I snacked on a "Mr. and Ms." Caesar Salad (RM17.90) and "Mr. and Ms." Bruschetta Platter (RM16.90). The salad was nothing special, but you can't go wrong with Caesar Salad, right? The bruschetta was pretty good and really filling! I was pleasantly surprised!

For dessert, we had some coffee and pancakes! YUM! It looks good right? That's because it WAS GOOD! Bestie had a latte (RM8, I think) and I had a cappucino (RM8). Sorry to say, but I don't remember the price of the pancakes but the price range of the cafe is from RM10 - RM25; the pancakes were RM20++ if not mistaken. It was pretty good! We were so happy after eating it all! SUPER YUM.

Over all, a nice experience. Definitely a cute place to go to when you want to catch up with your friends. I think it's best to go for their desserts! The dessert portion is good for sharing with friends! But their food could be better.

KOMUGI CAFE

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!

COFFEE STAIN BY JOSEPH

COFFEE STAIN BY JOSEPH

[kaw-fee steyn bahy joh-suhf]

After I saw Chuckei (a famous local blogger)'s Instagram about the cute latte art made by the barista from Coffee Stain by Joseph, I just HAD to go try it out, and challenge the artist to draw something cute for me!

The signage outside of the cafe!

Here is what I ordered! A hot Mocha! And I challenged the barista to draw for me, TOTORO, from the Studio Ghibli movie, My Neighbour Totoro! She did a pretty good job too! Too adorable! Took me a while to drink my Mocha because I was too busy admiring the latte art.

Close up shot of the latte art. Really cute huh?

View from my seat. It's a pretty comfortable cafe. On the table, they display the different coffee beans from different countries. They even have the most expensive coffee bean called Luwak, which is harvested from Civet poop ... yes ... POOP.

DETAILS :

There's a lovely mural at the cafe of the map of the world, made of the names of the countries! Something nice to look at.

Overall, a pretty okay cafe. I'd definitely go back to challenge the barista again for sure. The coffee however was alright. Good on my part, but can be much better. Room for improvement!

GRAFA

GRAFA
[gra-fa]
Halal

This is an extremely hidden restaurant, at a sharp corner of row SS15/4B. It doesn't have much of a facade to it, but if you look hard enough, you'll see the Pattern Store located right in front of the actual restaurant itself, and there you go, Grafa appears. 

This is the Pattern Store I mentioned. It sells pricey hipster stuff. I like the display though. They used timber pallets to show off their sale items!

I like this little corner of Grafa. All the colours and textures compliment each other (except for that fan!).

From this view, you can see the chalk board menu. They don't display the price though, you have to check that in the menu itself.

Seating areas on the outside. I really like the used of pallets! Well done! Utilizing recyclable materials in a pretty tasteful way!

On the left is a Chicken Wing dish (I don't remember what it's called). The sauce tastes like it has Marmite in it. How nostalgic! On the right, is Spaghetti and meatballs. Nothing special really, the taste of the spaghetti wasn't rich or something memorable, BUT the portion is HUGE. I kid you not! It is massive! So if you're the kind that goes for portion instead of savoury flavour, Grafa is the right place to go!

On the left, Ice Longan Tea (which is something awesome to have on a hot day) and Iced Mocha! The Mocha was alright, nothing special as well. And on the right, is a plate full of creamy spaghetti (I don't remember what it's called but I remember that the portion was so big that I couldn't finish it). 

 DETAILS :

I know this is just a basin to your guys, but just look at it! I love this corner! It's such a nice corner for washing your hands! Or is it just me?

Overall, nothing special. The food was alright. Ambiance was alright too. Lacks depth in the restaurant. It's slightly different at night though. Quite crowded and loud! But overall, just ok.

WONDERMAMA

WONDERMAMA

I always wanted to pay a visit to Wondermama (solely because the name is so cute), and I finally had the chance to! Went with my friend from Uni! I was pleased by how pretty the restaurant was. They had a Nyonya-esque style to the spaces, but with a touch of Wondermama-ness (I don't know how else to briefly explain it haha).

So the entrance looks like this. Already so charming! You can choose to sit outside, if you'd like to smoke, or inside where there's air-conditioning.

View from my seat. Look at those adorable floor tiles! Gives you the Malaccan-Penang vibe. The lamps are also made by woks I believe! Thumbs up for upcycling! The outside looks relatively cosy too, and natural lighting plays a huge roll in this restaurant. Thumbs up for those roof louvres!

My Uni friend ordered the prawn mee. THE PORTION WAS MASSIVE! You literally pay for portion in this restaurant. I LIKE! 

I ordered the Seafood Spaghetti. It tasted very Chinesey. I assume it was a fusion of Italian with Chinese cuisine. Not bad! And once again, HUGE PORTION. 

On the left is the Green Tea Smoothie, which was really good and refreshing. LOVED IT!

And on the right, a Caffe Latte, which was also pretty good. Enjoyed it and it was very smooth to drink.

DETAILS :

My camera didn't capture it very well but on the left, you can see very cool looking light fixtures - wire made to spiral around the light bulbs. And on the right, I just love the display of bowls! Adds a nice pop of colour to the corner! Sweet!!

Would definitely re-visit this restaurant because the food portion was awesome and the environment was great! Love to be able to soak in all the wonderful ideas and designs of the interior of the restaurant! :)
