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!

MORI

MORI

Bff and I decided to go try this new Japanese place called Mori Japanese Restaurant at Subang Avenue. This place is relatively new and not bad, if I do say so myself. I was too careless and hungry to remember to take photo of the facade (I'm so sorry :[ ) but just for your information, this Mori restaurant is next to Chilla Cup and Old Town White Coffee in Subang Avenue, facing the main road. It's actually very easily seen from the road when you drive by!

This is what it looks like inside! I actually really like the vibe of the restaurant! I like the Japanese deco that they used; the curtains, posters and all. 

The opposite side with more seating areas - this area is more normal, but they did put up cute Japanese graphic pictures up as minimalist deco. Nice!

Here's the cashier area. Wondering if those bottles of sake are real.

Here's part of the menu! On the left is the lunch set that they offer at the restaurant and on the right, some of the sets that they offer throughout opening hours. It's quite pricey but I assume the portion is filling enough! 

Bff ordered spicy ramen! The portion was really big (she couldn't finish it). The soup was pretty good but quite spicy. The type of spiciness is like, slap-you-in-the-face type of spicy. Haha! Kind of leaves you with a spicy-ZING at the back of your throat (if you can understand what I mean). This dish was a bit priceyl about RM20+

I ordered the Salmon Rice set! I think this set is really worth it! RM16 and it comes with Japanese fried rice mixed with salmon, egg and seaweed, tofu with soy sauce, miso soup, salad, pickled vegetable, watermelon and banana! VERY filling. I couldn't finish my rice so I packed it up to have for supper. It was really tasty! I loved the rice!

DETAILS :

The restaurant is really cute on the inside. You wouldn't expect it to look inviting when you see it from the outside (also because Subang Avenue is practically abandoned). The decorations are really very nice! Look at the samurai posters! Too pretty! Also, they also serve sushi and have seating areas near the sushi bar. I have yet to try their sushi though.

So far, the food I managed to try is pretty alright; just a little on the pricey side; not too sure if the food is worth the price, seeing as the restaurant is not very known, but once in a while it's okay. The service was decent and the restaurant itself is quite nice. It's a little sad that it's in a place like Subang Avenue though, but still worth a try. I hope it get more popular because it deserves some recognition.
