I ordered my meal from the Light Bites section and the most suitable item was Chicken Karaage. It's not exactly ideal though since fried chicken is always coated with flour. The chicken was fried to perfection, the batter was light and crispy and the chicken was moist and flavorful. The crispy fried kaffir lime leaves added another dimension to the flavor and aroma.
At first mum thought of having The Really Big Breakfast that she always sees on my blog. But she changed her mind because it was late in the day and she wanted to make sure that she had stomach space for dinner. So mum copied my order and had the Grilled Chicken Salad.
I went to The Red Kettle and had the Pomegranate Smoked Salmon Salad. It was a very pretty salad, so colorful! This salad contains smoked salmon, pomegranate, quinoa, avocado, chickpeas, lava egg, pickled blueberries, almonds, chia seeds, orange, grilled broccoli, mesclun greens and ponzu dressing. I also noted ulam raja leaves. The ponzu dressing - very sorry, I did not like it. It was so so sweet. So I used very little of it. And the smoked salmon was very very salty, even when eaten with the other ingredients. So no more of this salad for me, I will stick to the Grilled Chicken Salad.

What do We Like about Xiao by Crustz, SS 2? -The aesthetically designed interior with live plant and wooden furniture -The uniquely crafted pastries and cakes
Miso, 17 ringgit This was yummmmmm 🙂 Having Miso was like having a Magnum ice cream. There is the usual Paddle Pop, Cornetto and then … there is Magnum. Yea, this was like having a Magnum.
So there you go, finally I fixed my mind on La Vie En Rose (MYR 17) despite I really wish to have another morsel along, but then worried can’t finish it as the tummy had just been carbo-loaded 5 minutes ago. A dainty rhapsody composed on the notes of lychee, raspberry rose chantilly, pastry cream, raspberry jam and sable breton. Indeed very catchy and boldly alluring especially with that red petal crowning on top and pate a choux dough filled up with velvet custard.
I like the pastries and cake here, indeed a nice neighbourhood cafe/bakery.
The small little Café with limited seats does offer free drinking water, but still quite cozy while it is not crowded especially for and early morning breakfast (as early as 8:30am) and perhaps afternoon Tea Time for its sweet and savory treats along perhaps with a cup of coffee, tea or even a 莫吉托 mojito!
After ordering, they reheated it before serving. This made the filling all warm and oozing as you cut to the middle of it. No clumpy bits, flavors were good. I can most certainly understand now why people were willing to go to lengths just for it. Fortunately for me, I'm always a little late to the game so no queuing required now.
Verdict: Decent pastries at reasonable prices. Sometimes, saving a bit of moolah is a good thing.
Banana Croissant (RM7.80) Comment: First time trying banana croissant and immediately fell in love with it! Ridiculously delicious with that perfect balance of sweetness that came from the banana and those toppings gave an extra crunchiness to it, made this croissant really addictive.
Grilled dory fish RM 23.90: grilled dory fish served with spicy wedges, broccoli, carrot, garlic aioli and mixed green A proper fish fillet and none of that frozen crap. It's grilled and seasoned lightly so you can still taste the freshness of the fish. I found that there was a little bit too much going on in the plate but bang for your bucks?
The President (RM 21.80) For chicken lover, you can go for The President. The president is served with the roasted chicken, mozzarella cheese, French garlic sauce, caramelized onions and the roasted cherry tomato. The taste is just awesome with the delighting and aromatic flavours, tender chicken meat with the creamy and fragrant mozzarella cheese and the garlic sauce. Yummy!
A meat lover's dream, the Wagyu Steak Out (RM36.80) is a must-try! A 100g Wagyu steak, perfectly cooked to medium rare doneness, is complimented beautifully with mozzarella cheese, mustard BBQ sauce, pickled cabbage, caramelised onions, roasted tomato and garden greens. This time, we had it with the sourdough bread, which was excellent too.
It was delicious. Mr Baa Baa is made up of Grilled NZ Lamb + Mustard BBQ + Mozzarella + Pickled Cabbage + Garlic Aioli + Mint Leaves + Cranberry Jam. In terms of the bagels itself, there are 5 types you can choose from – Plain, Seeded, All Sorts. Salt and Pumpkin. I opted for the Pumpkin bagel, just for the heck of it. It was yummy, filling and wholesome. It was like munching on a really fat sandwich. Just to get a bite on the whole thing (all layers in one go), it would entail you to stretch your mouth to the maximum. The blend of flavors was nice. I’d never put lamb and cranberry in the same equation, but it works. The distinct flavor from the meat, mozzarella and mustard sauce was made better with the addition of sweetness from cranberry jam. It sneaks up on you. Loved it.
We ordered two sets of ‘eggs on toast’, yes two same set I can’t remember why, different toast though. To be frank I can’t remember the taste at the point of writing this, it was just usual toast with rockets and egg. Nothing more I can describe. Will let the pictures tell the taste.
Fresh loaves slices served with dainty Japanese butter, pepper and sea salt. Quite interesting as the Japanese butter renders a rather subtle taste compared to my usual fave French butter.
Widely known for its sourdough and croissant, other bakeries such as baguette, kanelbullar, canele and cakes are also available. They are baked freshly every day, basically you could get all sort of carbs and happiness in the quiet neighbourhood of Taman Rasa Sayang at Petaling Jaya.
The other day I dropped by Halla Holla again simply because I wanted coffee.
Total damage, a heart stopping RM53.90. One experience is good enough. No regrets. Never try, never know.
Overall, Wild Yeast Bakery Cafe is a perfect spot for a cozy breakfast, lunch, or afternoon tea. The prices are reasonable, and the quality of their food is exceptional. The cafe also hosts events too.
Yin’s Sourdough Bakery – Wild Mushroom Pizza For a healthy meal, the Keto Nourish Bowl (RM 25.45) is a fine choice. A cauliflower quinoa rice, cherry tomatoes, fresh lettuce, and Japanese cucumber is topped with a fillet of seabass. Chimichurri sauce is served apart for your own addition.
I seldom eat fish and I chose this Just Keto Bowl (RM24.00). Quite nice. I liked the pan fried seabass, quinoa and greens.
除此,在同样的天然发酵配方之下,Yin‘s打破了我本人对于法式酥饼的固有印象。原来酥脆、轻盈、不油腻之外,富有嚼劲也是一种口感上必要的美味元素。因面饼并无添加糖,苹果馅的醇甜和带咸香的酥饼因各自的衬托而彼此相交映辉,要说时间有天下无双的配搭,这个苹果泡芙便是。
The Fried Mee Hoon was my favorite. The way it was cooked, it brought me back in time. The noodles had a slightly charred/burnt taste to it which only added to its appeal. Besides the noodles itself, do expect a generous portion of chicken bits, prawns, fish cakes, green pepper, taugeh, onions. This dish sure was yummy, there was nothing left on the plate by the time I was done with it.
Set lunch: Black Pepper Fish Fillet Roll with Iced Lime Juice (I requested for no sugar so this drink was very sour but I finished it) - MYR 16.90 nett. Initially I wanted to order the grilled fish fillet so I asked about the type of fish that they used and was told that for grilled fish, they use dory fish but for this roll, they use pollock fish so I changed my mind.
I have nasi lemak with curry chicken cause I was craving for something 'sinful'. Pretty good and it helps to satisfied my craving. However I do wished it was a bit spicier though. All in all, the food is decent and still reasonable price.
In this Food Adventure we tried 4 types of SOURDOUGH at our favourite Sourdough spot, Universal Bakehouse located at Damansara Kim, Selangor, Malaysia!We als...
The introduction of commercial yeasts in the nineteenth century; however, was to the detriment of sourdough breads, with speed and consistency means faster and cheaper ways of bread production until the present time.
Need more accompaniments for your crusty sourdough? Smeared them with Gula Melaka, Jam, Hummus & Pistachio, Duck Rilettes, Chicken Liver Parfait, Butter & Ikura Roe, or add on half-boiled egg for a hearty breakfast.
I bought a slice of marble cake at MYR 9 nett and asked for the slice of marble cake to be kept inside my container from home. The cake is buttery and not that sweet so it tastes good.
Tomato Chicken Pasta with Parmesan Cheese sprinkled on top at MYR 18 nett. I like the portion because it is quite small so I could finish eating all the pasta.
Hideaway是灵市新开的咖啡馆,隐藏在组屋底层,驱车经过稍不注意就会错过。这间微带英伦风的咖啡馆与斑驳的建筑物融成一体,为这个地区增添一抹新色彩,也添加了一些活力。
蛋糕的芝士的浓度适中,带一点微甜,平时不吃芝士蛋糕的人也可以尝试一下。Purple Monkey 的蛋糕标榜沒有色素和香精,小孩也可以放心吃。
Not all monkeys out there are purple? None are. Why Purple Monkey? Well, their idea was developed from a hatred of ordinary tasting cakes to the love of pure oozing goodness you can find from nowhere but Purple Monkey.
We ordered our drinks and also a few pieces of frozen cheesecakes to share. KY chose the 'Sinful Mango', 'Salted Caramel' and 'Durian' cheesecakes. I think the mango was acceptable. I personally find the durian & salted caramel lack of flavour and did not manage to capture a lasting impression. My cup of latte☕ was acceptable. Well, at least I have been to this cafe... 😉
The Cheesecake was delicious. I am usually hesistant to indulge in this particular type of cake after lunch because it tends to fill you up fast due to the cheese. This time however, I simply couldnt resist.
One of them is Gula Cakery – originally from Kota Kemuning and famous for their cakes. We wanted something not-too-sweet – so the waiter recommended the Onde-Onde Creperie.

To sum up, it was a pleasant visit, we will return to give the breakfast variety and other pastries a shot. For instances, we would love to try Matcha Bostock, Cream Cheese Phan and Green Tea Burnt Cheesecake. The price tags is kind of on the high side in our opinion.
Get Baked x Journ is the newest cafe in Paramount, PJ. We love the clean and bright space. We enjoyed the Matcha Bostock and coffee.
I think this place is famous for Croissant, we tried the Almond Frangipane Croissant (RM 13), pretty nice. Spring Onion Smoked Duck Tartine (RM 16), heavy taste and salty. Bread a bit tough,..
We ordered an pain au chocolate, a matcha croissant with mochi and a spring onion & cheese. The matcha croissant was recommended by the owner himself. There was matcha paste and mochi in it, quite a special combination. The spring onion and cheese was our favorite. It has the Chinese scallion pancake’s (葱油饼) savory taste and was quite tasty.
Verdict: The combination of the pastry and spread definitely doesn’t come cheap, I shall let it remains as an occasional treat.
To my surprise, the cream cheese isn’t that overly cloying but done at the right creaminess and consistency. It’s very velvet and melt-in-your-mouth kind of palate. The spring onion could be tad pungent to some people but it’s fine with me and this combo does go really well.
Trying out Mango Cheese cake – turns out not my favourite as the texture is quite unique for me.
Peanut Banana Cake, 15 ringgit Upon tasting it – I’ve discovered that this is da’ bomb! Check out those layers. You’d first get a generous portion of dense, moist banana cake. Then, a thick layer of peanut butter, followed by bits of bananas filled with thick, gooey chocolate spread and this layers are repeated to make up the second half. Drool, that was what I did throughout. Drooooool!
Overall pengalaman sepanjang berada di Donutes Coffee & Cake bukanlah sesuatu yang mengecewakan. Dari segi rasa dessert yang dihidangkan di tahap yang bagus, cuma kualiti sesuatu dessert itu perlu dijaga kerana cabaran membuka cafe yang berpoperasi 24 jam bukanlah sesuatu yang mudah. Tetapi, kerana konsep operasi selama 24 jam ini, saya rasa ianya juga merupakan satu marketing stratergy yang berjaya. Tambah-tambah lagi bertempat di kawasan urban, Damansara, tidak mustahil jika pengunjung-pengunjung cafe ini mostly dari kalangan remaja. Jadi mereka yang inginkan tempat yang selesa untuk bersembang dengan rakan-rakan, dapatkan teh,coffee, dessert dan pastry pada bila-bila masa sahaja, Donutes Coffee & Cake pasti sesuai untuk anda.
Iced Caramel Macchiato (RM10.60) Always my favorite! A beautiful combination of an espresso with significant amount of milk. Rich and strong aroma.
Being the first cafe in Klang Valley that operates 24 hours whole day long, Donutes has previously commenced its business in Puchong. Recently, the business is being expanded to Kota Damansara, and there goes the second outlet which situated nearby the mamak shop Kayu.
In summary, Wownana’s delectable banana cake is a must-try for any dessert enthusiast. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick sweet fix or ordering a whole cake for a special occasion, you won’t be disappointed.
