Waffle Mania, Yummy Belgian Waffles!

8 Comments

Waffle is my old time favorite dessert and my sweet tooth couldn’t refrain these waffles with I first saw it during my food hunting at Tiny Taipei of Berjaya Times Square. Personally, I only ate those normal waffle but what Waffle Mania offers is Belgian waffle. Belgian waffles are usually quite expensive but I find this still affordable.

Waffle Mania - Belgium Waffle - Samples

Over their stall there’s sample for you to try and their waffle are made 100% milk, promising that their waffle is crispy outside and chewy inside.

Waffle Mania - Belgium Waffle - Menu

They  have their menu displayed in front of the cashier and there are eight flavors to choose from. I have tried Marshmallow and Strawberry Frozen Yogurt, they both their special flavors. This is not the first time of me eating this Belgian Waffle from Waffle Mania.

Waffle Mania - Belgium Waffle - In The Making

Their waffle is pre-made and heat it over the waffle maker then add in the flavor that has been ordered. Depending on what you’ve ordered, they’ll make sure that you’ll get your waffle warm.

Waffle Mania - Belgium Waffle - Marshmallow

This is the first flavor that I tried on my first purchase and never forget how awesome it tasted. Its the Marshmallow where the waffle is topped with chocolate syrup,  crushed peanut and mini marshmallow. The waffle indeed crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. What I love is the entire waffle is warm yet that it doesn’t get soggy and I’m a big fan of marshmallow. The marshmallow was warm too that the insides are melting. Yummy! This cost MYR 5.50 and if you add MYR 1.90, you get to choose lemonade or mineral water.

Ben’s @ Pavilion Kuala Lumpur

It was a lunch before Talika Skin Retouch Launch and here I was with Fatin and Jean. We hang out every now and then for shopping, food, events and etc. I had dine in Ben’s at KLCC once and it wasn’t a pleasant experience because there was a hair in my salad but they did changed my salad. I was crossing my fingers when we decided to have our lunch here.

Oozy Cheese Toastie

‘with cheddar, gruyere & parmesan cheese’ – Ben’s

This was ordered by Fatin, I took a small bite out of it. Served with salad and chips as sides, the bread was toasted nicely with butter and the cheese was melted in between. It was like having a slice of cheesy pizza but in a sandwich. The cheese combination gives a tinge of saltiness to the sandwich which doesn’t make the taste bland.

Price: MYR18.90


Anglio Oglio Spagethetini

‘tossed with olive oil, garlic and dried chillies’ – Ben’s

This is Jean’s dish, also I took a small bite. Topped with a leaf (which I’m not so sure what leaf) and dried chillies, there wasn’t much of a flavour but it has a very mild spiciness. She then used my pesto sauce to mix with her spaghetti and it tasted a lot more better.  I’m happier to see her eating with the pesto, otherwise she was having a hard time eating it.

Price: MYR13.90


Mushroom Lasagne

‘layers of pasta, sauteed mushrooms, herbs & cheese, baked till golden’ – Ben’s

Tadaaa~ this is my dish and I have been craving for lasagne. Mushroom has always been my favourite and I was curious to find out how does this combination go. Served with salad and pesto sauce, the lasagne was delicious. The mushroom that they used was oyster mushroom and usually this type of mushroom doesn’t have much flavour but I could tell the mushroom indeed was sautéed because the fragrant olive oil. It was quite a large piece that towards the end I couldn’t finish it. I like the original flavour without mixing the pesto sauce hence I gave it all to Jean.

Price: MYR23.90

 
This time I’m really satisfied dining here. Everything was quite good except for Jean’s dish, poor girl but she managed to make it a twist. Currently, Ben’s are available at  Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, Suria KLCC and Publika, Solaris Dutamas.

TWG Tea Salon & Boutique

8 Comments

I was incredibly tempted to visit TWG Tea Salon and Boutique after reading Jean and Fatin‘s reviews on it. Its located at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur and great place to hang out if you’re up for high tea with friends and family. I’ve gotten my chance to be here after brunch at Acme with the girls.

Let’s make it short and call it TWG. This place adapts classic and modern interior decoration. What’s classic is the tea cannisters placed on wood shelves that can be found all around TWG. The marble tiles of deep green with gold borders make it luxury and modern.

They have a variety of cakes from small to larger size, different types of chocolates, macarons  and more. They are such temptation isn’t it? By looking at the colors of it just made me feel happy. The units of display also matches the flooring tiles as well.

There are three menus to begin with and one of the menu which is in the middle has cute tokens ( I think that’s what you called it) embedded with TWG’s name on it hanging out it. My bad for not taking down the name of the waiter, he is very polite and served us extremely well. We were not quite used to being addressed as ‘Madam’ but its all good.

Chocolate Fondant

‘TWG Tea’s warm chocolate cake served with a light custard cream and a scoop of homemade Vanilla Bourbon Tea ice cream’ – TWG Tea Salon and Boutique

I ordered this and was craving for chocolate that day. Fatin highly recommended it because she had it good on her last visit. The chocolate flavour is so rich and intense, the texture is like firm cream cheese. I wasn’t expecting the strawberry to be there! Kills my guilt from having all the sweetest things. I love the ice cream, the tea infused ice cream had a tinge of bitterness to it but not overwhelming. It goes very well together with the cake but when it comes to the end at finishing the cake, it was too sweet for me and the sourness from the strawberry did help to tackle the sweetness.

Price: MYR19.00

Crème Brûlée

‘A refreshing return to the traditional French confection, these two miniature crème brûlée are delightfully infused with two of our exclusive TWG’s Teas, Phuguri Dajeeling and Vanilla Bourbon Tea’ – TWG Tea Salon and Boutique

This is Fatin’s order and the crème brûlée comes in two little cute pots, totally different from what we usually see on crème brûlée. The difference between both is the creamy texture. I think on top of it is caramelized sugar, which adds great fragrant to the crème brûlée and its a little crunchy.

Price: MYR17.00

Tea Pasteries – Financier with Matcha Tea

‘Served with TWG Tea jelly whipped cream’ – TWG Tea Salon and Boutique

This three tier of goodies was Jean’s. They seems to come with somewhat tasted like cakes but they are moist, crunchy outside and soft inside. There are two flavours ordered by Jean which is green tea and chocolate. I love green tea and I’m still sticking to it even if they come in different forms.

Price: MYR13.50

Tea Macaron

‘TWG Tea’s reowned crispy almond biscuit with a soft centre. Infused with our signature tea, TWG Tea has transformed the macaron into a uniquely memorable confection’ – TWG Tea Slon and Boutique

I can’t remember which macaron that Jean ordered but I know there’s chocolate. The peach colored macaron smells amazing, just like Lancôme L’Extrait. It has rose scent to it and pretty sweet to my liking though  I had a quarter of it. The chocolate is good because it has a little bitterness to it, like dark chocolate.

MYR4.00 each

Its definitely a great experience though its a little wee bit expensive for me but I think it’ll be good to go for it occasionally. TWG Tea Salon and Boutique is now located at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, Level 2 Couture Pavilion.

Acme Bar & Coffee

2 Comments

Last week, I had a brunch with Fatin and Jean at Acme Bar & Coffee. I have been wanting to come here for months and didn’t have a chance. Many raves about this place especially at night, it looks romantic like you were having dinner at Paris or something similar.

Entering upon the heavy and tall doors of Acme, this is what you see when you come in where there are large mirrors, box-pattern tiles, sofa and a counter. Restroom is just behind Jean where there is a LED screen blinking your way to it. I love Jean’s post, she wasn’t aware of it but its cute!

The counter in the middle is where they have the drinks prepared. It was just behind the the counter by the entrance.

They served alcoholic to non alcohol beverages and desserts too. By the end of the counter displays some delicious variety of cakes.

Acme is pretty spacious where they have a second floor which was occupied for event (I believe) on that day.

I love their wine cellar with the chiller underneath. That is super cool with ladder for easier removal of the wine. Let’s see what we had!

Baked Egg, Spinach, Rhubarb, Ricotta & Grilled Sourdough Bread

‘Two eggs slathered on grilled bread’ – Acme

Coincidentally, Fatin and I ordered the same dish. Baked eggs sounds really awesome and I couldn’t resist spinach. It comes in a small shallow pot placed on top of a plate and the eggs was nicely cooked, not over done at all. It goes really great with the bread. It doesn’t have much flavour other than the ingredients mentioned but easily adjustable with salt and pepper. It may look like quite a small portion but I was stuffed on the last few bits.

Price: MYR17.00

Fresh Tomato Mozzarella Fettucini

‘Fresh tomato with buffalo mozzarella , grilled artichoke’ – Acme

This is Jean’s dish. I get to taste for a bit and the sourness of the fresh tomato is really appetizing. It was topped with cream and that adds a little creamy flavour to it. If you’re small eater, the portion will be sufficient for you and since its really appetizing, you might finished it without noticing.

Price: MYR35.00
