Dessert Overhaul: Kakigori, MIRU, Haraju Cube, New Chapter by The Owls Cafe, Whimsical Gelateria Caffe

So yes, it has been past a year since the last post, which I highly doubt if anyone would still read this blog. A year past, and of course I was busy on the hunt for good food, and what better way to celebrate the return, than to write a post on desserts!

Every girl's dream is to continue having desserts without getting fat, and we would always have a so called "second" stomach just for desserts.

Review based on three types of desserts : Honey Toast , Kakigori and Waffles!

I never knew what Honey Toast was all about, until I decided to try it out while the "hype" was still going on.

Hojicha Honey Toast @ Haraju Cube, Empire Damansara
True Story: When I first visited Haraju Cube, I ordered the Matcha Honey Toast and did not like it because I thought the toast was soggy as the ice cream were melting. But little did I know, I practically ate the Honey Toast wrongly as there was supposed to be a technique on how to eat it. My friend brought me to Haraju Cube the second time and taught me how to eat. This time, it was Hojicha Honey Toast, and boy! It was great! I loved every bite of it, especially the subtle taste from the ice cream. Would give this a thumbs up! But! The price is on the higher side, expect to spend at least 30 bucks when you visit Haraju Cube. (portions are big too)

Matcha Honey Toast @ MIRU dessert, Damansara Uptown
Decided to try MIRU as my other friends believe MIRU serves better Honey Toast as compared to Haraju Cube. One of the perks for dining in MIRU is that they serve a mini version of Honey Toast (as per picture above), rather than a full serving of Honey Toast (which I believe can be shared among 3-4 people). Ordered the Mini Matcha Honey Toast. Honestly, if you love butter, then this is the place because the toast itself is filled with butter (the toast was practically covered in yellow, oozing butter as you take your bite). I personally felt the butter was way too overpowering the actual Honey Toast. (the toast is softer than Haraju Cube, but perhaps it was because of the overflow of butter).

Rebecca Waffle @ New Chapter by The Owls Cafe, Calvary Convention Center, Bukit Jalil
 For someone who lives about 40mins from Bukit Jalil, and would travel all the way to Bukit Jalil for waffles, I had high expectation. Walked in the place and it was filled with waffle lovers everywhere, felt like I've walked into a whole new dimension of waffle world. Service was quick, but do note there's a church there, so Sunday afternoon is not an ideal time to go. Ordered one of their best sellers: Rebecca. Hands down, one of the best waffles! The waffle isn't soggy, it was crunchy, fruits were fresh, and their homemade Earl Grey ice cream was to die for! 

Apparently this isn't their first branch, as their first branch is called The Owls Cafe which is also situated in Bukit Jalil. Have yet to try there, but I heard environment at Calvary Convention Center is nicer.

Waffle with Two Scoops Ice Cream @ Whimsical Gelateria Caffe, Publika KL
Another waffle post! I love the ice cream in Whimsical, which never fails to disappoint. Had the Jackfruit and Matcha Raspberry, both were equally good but the waffles were a big letdown. Note to self to never order their waffles ever again. The waffles did not have any taste on its own, and it feels mushy rather than crisp. Do go for their ice cream though!

Hojicha Kakigori @ Kakigori, Taman Paramount
Honestly, I have no words for this. I'm not sure where they hype for this came about, or when it came about, but I tried this so called Japanese version of "ABC", or Japanese version of "Bingsu", it wasn't great at all. Don't be deceived by the looks of it, the outer taste was great, no doubt, but that's just about it. After the outer layer, inside was just pure plain ice (even after pouring the side "sauce" they gave, it doesn't commensurate with the amount of ice, making it plain ice, but paying a hefty price for it).

Steven's Chicken Chop @ Damansara Uptown

Since young, I have been patronizing the same shop whenever I have the "chicken chop" cravings. It's not in a restaurant, nor in a shop lot, but it's in an open food court situated in Damansara Uptown. I remember those days where a plate of a sinful chicken chop would cost RM6.50 but right now, that same plate of chicken chop costs RM12/RM13. Fred not, it is still a satisfying plate of chicken chop. Besides chicken chop, they do sell grilled chicken, lamb, and beef. All I can say is that if you have not try this out, you MUST. The only down side to it is that : - the environment is filled with mosquito. I wouldn't mind (as the food do come quickly), but to those that mind, perhaps you could pack the food back home. But do bear in mind, if you choose to pack it back home, it may be soggy. Directions to the place :- 1. Head to Damansara Uptown (if you have no idea where that is, popular shops such as Village Park Nasi Lemak, Every Sundae, A Pie Thing, Damansar...

Ekkamai @ Jalan Batai, Damansara Heights

When Thai food is not done right, it would taste bland; When Thai food is done right, your taste would bend. But thankfully for Ekkamai @ Batai, they did Thai food justice! My first experience in Ekkamai was at the Publika branch and it wasn't a pleasant dining experience as I felt the food lacks the flavours and one of the soup had a bad smell to it (Tom Kha Salmon Belly, to be exact). At this point, I told myself to not walk into the one in Publika anymore, and give the one at Batai a chance. Stumbled upon the branch at Batai, and why not? Did not regret it, food was delightful, ambiance was just perfect for a group dining, or even a romantic couple dining experience. Only down-side is the parking at Batai (a 4 hours catching up with friends, could costs you about RM15 just for the parking). Enough said, food pics! Sharing Platter ✭✭✭✰✰  The sharing platter is a good combination of several starters. Do note that this would just be enough for 2-3 person. The...

Restaurant Seoul Korea @ Taman Danau Desa

As I remembered my very first Korean meal back when I was in Melbourne for 3 years.. the Korean cuisine in Melbourne never fails to satisfy me. The moment I came back to KL for good, I have been in scout of Korean cuisine that may be as good or at par as the Korean cuisine in Melbourne. It took me a great one year to discover such place. Been to the "Little Korea Town" in Ampang, but couldn't find one as fresh as Restaurant Seoul Korea @ Taman Danau Desa. Perhaps, I have to slowly try more restaurants in Ampang. But hey! Seoul Korea is good enough for me :) The only drawback about dining in Restaurant Seoul Korea is the queue. On weekends, dinner opens at 5:30pm but you will see a pretty long queue starting from 5:20pm up until 8:30pm. First, the cause of the long queue could be due to the small space which probably only have about 20 tables. On the other hand, no doubt, the food is good. They have at least 10 different side dishes which are so flavorsome and tr...
