SUNDAY FUNDAY: EXPLORING NEW CAFES (OW:L ESPRESSO SS15 REVIEW)

I want to make it my mission to visit a new cafe every Sunday. 

I love exploring cozy little cafes. Honestly, it's one of the best things ever. On Sunday, I decided to go somewhere near where I live so, I came across OW:L Espresso cafe.

I guess the concept of this cafe is a lot similar to most "fusion" cafes these days. Cakes, teas, waffles... etc. Even though I find it similar to most cafes, I still find joy in spending time in a new cafe. It's just my thing :P

Anyway, my first impression of it was "wow! That's a lot of people for a Sunday!" However, I loved all the decor and how the layout of the cafe was. Basically, there's a smoking area out in the balcony and inside, there are different sets of furniture to enjoy. Latest musics and nice ambiance make it even better. 

The one thing I would say that took my breath away is this........... 

Look at how massive that snowman cotton candy is!! 

And buried within it is a bowl of chocolate and banana snowflake (bingsu) which is just gorgeous. 

Of course, we enjoyed this with some peach tea, banana milkshake and latte. 

Overall, I think this place is really worth the try. Absolutely loved it! 

3 Food Places Worth Visiting in Bangkok

Last week, I took a short trip to Bangkok. And I guess it's no surprise to all of you how much I love food. 

I haven't been to Bangkok in such a long time but I have to say, it was great. The weather was lovely, which means no yucky rain. The food was awesome. It was amazing. 

So, I was only there for a couple of days but I found quite a few places worth visiting if you're ever in Bangkok, and by places, I mean food places :) 

*And please, don't ever skip mango sticky rice if you are in Thailand (Bangkok or not). 

1. Thipsamai

This place is seriously good. And I know how much I love Pad Thai, but I don't think I will ever eat any other Pad Thai unless it's from here. Yes, it's seriously that good. Judging from the queue, you don't need me to explain. Basically, this place just serves Pad Thai of your choice (with seafood, with egg, and/or with both). However, I would not advice you to go on an empty stomach because you're going to wait about 30-50 minutes. So, make sure you're not absolutely starving when you want to come here.

2. Hello Kitty House 

If you are ever near Siam Paragon area, I think this place is worth a visit for its atmosphere and if you just need to stop for an afternoon tea. The customer service alone is amazing, so you will definitely feel comfortable in there. 

3. After You 

Again, if you are ever near Siam Paragon area, this is the perfect place to chill out and relax. This place focuses more on desserts, so for you sweet tooth out there, this is the place to be. I ordered peach tea and Matcha Toast on that day and it was amazing. There are other toasts, of course, but this one was "Valentine's Special" so I decided to give it a go. Definitely worth a visit.

So if you're ever in Bangkok, get yourself a mango sticky rice first, and then head on down to visit these places. 

TOP 5 DELICIOUS FOOD

Good evening all you foodies out there :)

As most of you would know, I have been travelling a lot lately which can only mean ONE obvious thing - FOOOOOOOD.

I was inspired to write this post when I was looking through my whole travel photo album earlier today. As I've mentioned in my previous post, I have been to loads of different restaurants in the past couple of weeks and my "restaurant of the month" post was almost impossible for me to write. So, I decided to write another post on all the amazing food I've tried so far. I feel like I really need to do these dishes justice by writing about them. Haha!

Like all good things - GOOD FOOD need to be shared!



AMPERSAND by CULINARY REBELS 

MY PERSONAL OPINION: BEST MEAT COMBO

I came here back in July with my brother and a few of his mates. Honestly, the effort they put in your food can definitely be seen on your plate. The menu is obviously all about the meat. I can't remember all the names of the dishes but I remember all of us ordering all the specials which include pork, beef, chicken and lamb. The ambiance of the restaurant suits the food that they serve perfectly. The setting and decor are very modernized. And here's a little fun fact (well, for me, at least) : Ampersand means the logo "&".

KGB

MY PERSONAL OPINION: BEST BURGER AND FRIES

I came here recently with my brother. Basically, the restaurant's motto is "Because Life is too Short for a Bad Burger". And hell to the yes, I completely agree with that. The fries that they serve though, was the highlight for me, to be completely honest with you. I have never forced myself to ever finish a portion of fries that I could not finish. With these fries though, even though I knew I was full, I just wanted more! Yes, it is THAT good.


NAJ & BELLE 

MY PERSONAL OPINION: BEST DESSERTS

I think all of you would know by now that desserts are my absolute fave! I mean, in a 3-course-meal, I would rather give up the mains and go for the desserts instead. And I have my desserts before and after my meal. Yes, that is how much I love 'em. And for me to name this place the best place for desserts IS actually saying something. All I can say to you is : TRY THE WATERMELON CAKE BECAUSE IT IS DIVINE!

IPPUDO

MY PERSONAL OPINION: BEST RAMEN

When it comes to Japanese cuisine, I normally just go for sushi. I have actually had a couple of ramens from different Japanese restaurants before and I was never too keen on them. So, when my friend suggested this place, I was feeling a little meh. But I decided to give it a go anyway because I wanted to try it. Holy heck! That ramen was beautiful. 

IKEA MEATBALLS

MY PERSONAL OPINION: BEST MEATBALLS (duh!)

I felt really left out when probably 99% of the people that I know have actually tried IKEA meatballs. So, I made it a mission to give it a go on my previous trip. I remembered feeling absolutely stuffed from breakfast and my brother decided to go for a walk in IKEA. And I said to him "right, we are going for meatballs and I don't care if you have them or not, but I'm having Swedish meatballs today!" Some people may think it's overrated but in my opinion, they are probably the best meatballs I've ever tasted in my entire life. The cranberry sauce just makes it perfect. Absolutely gorgeous.



So, that concludes my top 5 food I've tried so far!

Do give these places a go if you are ever in Kuala Lumpur. Trust me, you will not regret it.
