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!

Italian food is one of my favourite things to eat to date! I can't live without my pasta. While having a nice shopping day in Paradigm with my friends, I noticed this fancy looking restaurant at the outdoor courtyard of the mall. It immediately attracted me! So we decided to have pasta for dinner! And I can safely say that I was very impressed by how delicious the food was.

View from the outside! There are seats outside for those who prefer the less cold air-conditioned air. Comfy cushioned seats for you!

Timber pallets and exposed light bulbs every where!

View from my seat. The left is the bar counter! They serve cocktails here too. I have yet to give the drinks a go!

View from my seat. Stone cladding wall finish as the feature wall! Compliments the whole colour scheme of the restaurant doesn't it? 

Here's a peak at the menu! This is the pasta section, divided into 3 parts; Olive Oil/Clear Sauce, Tomato Sauce and Cream Sauce.

I ordered the Pasta Con Bestica and an Iced Lemon Mint Tea drink. The pasta was SO DELICIOUS and SO FILLING. RM25 is worth it for that plate of food! It was so tasty that I'm salivating just typing about it right now. The drink is alright. It tastes like lemon tea with a lot of mint in it - a bit like drinking toothpaste (haha). But it's pretty refreshing after a hardy meal!

Friend ordered Alla Carretiera (RM24) which was also very very good. The mixture of tuna, garlic, beef bacon; just everything in this pasta dish was so sublime! Next time, I will order this dish! Even though my dish was delicious too.

Another friends ordered the Smoked Duck Aglio Olio and this was also so very delicious! The duck was cooked well, not too oily nor too fatty, the angel hair pasta was smooth and the fried garlic is a super nice garnish to complete the dish! This one is the priciest though, assuming cause there is duck in it (RM29) but it was worth the cost!

I love this restaurant so much! I will definitely go back to try other dishes! I feel like I will be here very often! Though it is a little pricey, I think you will definitely get you money's worth!
