Acme Bar & Coffee

OMG!!! I have not been writing blog for like almost six months already. I just noticed that. Time really flies. What I have been doing in these six months time man?? Well, actually I have been busy working  part time for my last 3 months summer holiday. When I started back my new semester in the middle of September last year, I have been busy attending classes and hanging out with my bunch of friends. Really don't have the time to do my personal thing and blogging and the time just passed so fast that I even completed another semester now. Yes, you are right!! I just finished my exam and I just started my two weeks sem break. Finally, I have the time to sit down and blog. Yeah, I am back!!

I visited quite a number of cafes and restaurants in these six months time which I wanted to share with you guys but I really do not have the time to do so. I am so sorry about that! So, I am going to update back my blog with those places that I have been visited in these half year time. So stay tune ya. Since I have so many restaurants and cafes to blog about, so I am going for a quick and short one too. Here you go for a blog on Acme Bar & Coffee which I have visited on last Deepavali with my friends. We actually wanted to visit this cafe long long time ago when it first started hit the town that time with its famous sizzling brownie. But we ended dragging it until now.

Okay, this is how it look like from the exterior.

So, some of these are the interior photos. 

That Moment!

Sizzling Brownie and Oreo Ice Cream (RM19.00) 
Rating: 4/5

Personally, I think that this sizzling brownie and oreo ice cream taste really good. Imagine how the hot chocolate sauce and brownie combine with the cold ice cream. This hot and cold combination is just way to perfect for me.

Cappuccino (RM15.00) 
Rating: 3/5

Latte (RM15.00) 
Rating: 3/5

For drink wise, I don't have much comment. Non other than the iced chocolate which I think it doesn't taste good, the rest of the drinks are just normal. In other word to say, nothing special.

TGI Fridays @ Paradigm Mall

TGI Fridays!!! In here, it's always Friday. I think this is most people wish as well huh! Anyway, I went here for dinner last Wednesday after buying some books in Popular Bookstore using my BRIM voucher which is going to expire at the end of this month. Was deciding to eat this or Sakae Sushi. Since my bro-in-law has this Pinch of Salt card which entitled him to a RM30 birthday voucher, we decided to eat this instead. For your information, this is my first time eating TGI Fridays. I know this is so outdated right. Lol. There were a few restaurants which I think that most people have tried before which I never try before. One is TGI Fridays and the other two are Plan B and Chili's. 

So, this is the interior of TGI Fridays in Paradigm Mall.

Tadaa...their menu!! (*Obviously...Haha)

Cajun Shrimp & Chicken Pasta (RM32.90)
Rating: 3.5/5

Cajun Shrimp & Chicken Pasta are seasoned and sauteed with green and red bell peppers, then tossed with fettuccine and creamy Cajun Alfredo sauce and finally topped with freshly shaved Parmesan Cheese and green onions. I think this combination was perfect. Usually, I do not really like to eat too creamy or too cheesy food but I am okay with this. In other word to say, yes, it is quite nice lah!!

Here you go, another closer look of it.

Chicken Fingers (RM25.90) 
Rating: 3.5/5

Chicken Fingers is actually a golden fried hand-battered chicken tenders. It is served with crispy fries and honey mustard dressing for dipping. The chicken itself is not very tasty but when you dip it in the honey mustard dressing then the taste is okay. This sweet and sour sauce is quite appetizing as well.

Tennessee Burger (RM29.90) 
Rating 3.5/5

Their Tennesse Burger on the other hand is glazed with Tennessee sauce and stacked with two strips of crispy beef bacon and Monterey Jack cheese on a toasted bun accompanied with shredded lettuce, tomato, pickle slices, onion and served with crispy fries and a side of Tennesse sauce. I pretty like their Tennesse sauce. In fact, we requested for another plate of this sauce. I ate my Chicken Fingers with this sauce as well and my sister actually mixed her pasta with this sauce as well. Lol. Btw, I cannot really give a very high rating for this dish. This is because I didn't try their burger as I cannot eat beef. But, if only the sauce itself then I can maybe give a higher rating.

Just another close up shot of the Tennesse Burger.

Molten Lava Cafe @ One Utama

Molten Lava Cafe is located at the lower ground floor of new wing of One Utama Shopping Centre right opposite Cold Storage. Why would I introduce you to this cafe?? Is not because of their coffee nor chocolate. Is definitely because of their churros. Some people might ask what is churros then?? Churro is actually a fried-dough pastry which is sometime referred as a Spanish doughnut. This is the place where I had my first churros. I have never try any other churros before so I cannot really compare. Beside that, I also don't know where I can get churros except this place. So, whenever I come to this cafe, I'll eat their churros. 

Churros with Icing (RM4.80) 
Rating:4/5

The churros here were made upon order. With this, you can always enjoy your hot and crispy churros. Imagine the churros are hot and crispy outside and soft inside. Wah, is so awesome!! Can you imagine what I am saying?? In fact, the taste is so perfect with the icing sugar. I always ordered churros with icing because I think that with icing, you can always taste the original taste of the dough unlike chocolate which will covered up the entire taste of the dough. This is something like when you eat roti canai, if you eat it with dhal, you will never get to try the original taste of the roti canai dough. But when you eat it with sugar, you can actually taste the original roti canai dough taste. I actually like roti canai with sugar as well.

Btw, don't get me wrong! Molten Lava Cafe also served other food as well like funnel cake, macaroons, noodles, rice, coffee, chocolate, tea and etc. Indeed, I only get to know that they are selling noodles and rice through the internet. Lol. For your information, you will hardly see customer in their shop. But their churros are really nice lah. So I don't know why. Maybe their other food are average only. Perhaps! This is what I guess only lah.

Texas Chicken @ Empire Damansara

This place is called Empire Damansara. You can see there are lots of umbrellas here. I actually came here for dinner and to take some photos as well. Since I never try Texas Chicken before so I decided to eat that as my dinner. In fact, before this I heard there were quite a number of good reviews about Texas Chicken.

One Whole Set (RM11.80)
Rating: 3.5/5

So, here you go my set of Texas Chicken. This set is actually made up of 2 pieces of chicken, 1 honey-butter biscuit, 1 mashed potatoes, 1 coleslaw and free flow of drinks. I know you sure wondering '"where got coleslaw, is french fries what" right?? And now you noticed that you just look back at my picture. Lol. Anyway, what I did was I requested them to change the coleslaw into french fries for me. This is simply because I don't eat coleslaw and at the same time I love fries so much. 

Btw, I think this is comparable to KFC. I pretty like it lah. First of all, it is not so oily. I mean the chicken. You wouldn't see any oil dripping like how KFC's chicken do nowadays. On top of that, their chickens are more soft and tender. Even their chicken breasts are soft and tender as well. You can imagine I am person that do not eat chicken breast and I would say that their chicken breasts are soft and acceptable. In term of taste, I cannot really compare. This is because each of them has their own unique taste. So, this is definitely not comparable. 

Next, I would like to talk about their honey-butter biscuit. Their honey and butter combination is just perfect. But, please don't expect a crispy biscuit texture. I guess their biscuit texture is more to like a scone texture. On top of that, I also love their mashed potatoes and fries as well especially when it is hot and crispy. Their fries and mashed potatoes taste are completely different from KFC. Is a different taste. So, again it is not comparable. Each has their own uniqueness. Last but not least, their drinks is free flow!!! The good thing is you can refill yourself. They have quite a number of flavors of drinks like iced lemon tea, sprite, coke and etc. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with it and I'll definitely go for second time and maybe I'll try their dessert in my next visit.

Paddington House of Pancakes @ The Curve

My sister and I tried to be a vegetarian on last Tuesday. So, we went here and there hunting for food without meat. At first, we went to A Pie Thing located at uptown to eat pie as our brunch. Unfortunately, it was not opened until 4pm. Since my sister wanted to buy cupboard in IKEA, so we decided to go over there for food instead. Then we wanted to try dip n dip in The Curve but again it not was opened. Very unlucky huh?? At the end, we decided to eat pancake at Paddington House of Pancakes instead. They do served a variety of food like American pancakes, European pancakes, burgers, nachos, soups, steak, fish, seafood, pasta, smoothies, milkshakes, coolers, beers, and many more! When we opened up their menu, we felt like ordering this and that as in everything lah. All look so interesting but we know that we couldn't finish it if we order two sets. So, eventually we decided to order only one set instead. It was so freaking difficult for us to make a choice. So, guess what we do?? Lol. I suggested that we list down 5 food that we wanted to try individually and then compare and choose the one where both of us had listed it. What a coincidence! Both of us had actually listed 3 similar food that we wanted to try (codes of the food we wanted to try were 2006, 3003, and 5006). Again, we need to choose one out of these three. Problem arise again. So how?? This time what we do was, we arranged according to order from the one we wanted to try most to the one we wanted to try least out of the three food. So my arrangement is 5006, 2006 and 3003 while my sister arrangement is 3003, 2006 and 5006. Was totally opposite this time. Lol. So at the end, we ordered food code number 2006, our middle choice instead which is a chocolate roll.

So, this is the interior of Paddington House of Pancakes in The Curve. Is so colourful. Looks quite nice ya?

Chocolate Roll (RM15.00) 
Rating: 3.5/5

And this was the one we ordered. Is a chocolate roll with peanut butter, ice cream, oreo crumbs, chocolate sauce, nuts, and whipped cream. First of all, I like the texture and secondly, the taste was not bad as well. Overall, it was quite nice. I am a chocolate, nuts, ice cream and oreo lover. That's the reason why I say the taste was quite nice because it have all the things I love in it. My sister said it tasted a bit like apam balik. Lol. Anyway, this kind of food cannot really eat a lot as you will ultimately get bored if you eat a lot. That's another reason why we only ordered one set to share.

 So, here you go another close up shot of my pancake.

Standing Theory @ SS2

Standing Theory is one of the growing cafe in SS2. I cannot really say it is one of the latest cafe since it have been brewing for like almost 9 months already (launched on November 9, 2013). What I can really say is that it is one of the hidden gem since it have been hidden in one of the housing area in SS2. Despite of that, they are still able to attract a large crowd. Malaysian are really a food hunter. So long as they heard about something new or special, they will just explore it regardless of how far or how hidden it was especially for food wise. I am a typical Malaysian as well. Meaning?? I went and explore this place as well with my sister on last Sunday after hearing so much about this place. So, we went over here for breakfast on last Sunday (Oppsss...I should say brunch instead).

 So, this is how Standing Theory looks like from the inner view. We went around 12 something to 1 something on Sunday and it was full with people.

 

These were the food and drink we ordered that day. And these had made us poorer by RM26.

The good thing is, there are aren't any tax or service charges.

B.B.C Waffle (RM16.00) 
Rating: 3/5

The choices of food here are quite limited actually. They only offered 4 types of set lunch (from 11.00 am - 4.30 pm) and 5 types of set for dinner (from 6.30 pm - 9.30 pm). Since, we wanted to try out some waffles, so we ended up ordered their B.B.C waffle. In fact, this is the only waffle offered by them during lunch hour. B.B.C waffle is actually a combination of waffles with smoked bacon, banana, fat baby cornflake ice cream plus gula melaka syrup. I like the combination of their ice cream and their waffle itself but not everything mixed together.  If everything are mixed together, I think the taste is average only. Anyway, I saw there were quite a number of people ordered this. Indeed, I am interested on the other waffle in which they only offered during the dinner time. That one is actually a combination of waffles, coconut candy ice cream, crushed peanuts and gula melaka syrup. Sound interesting??

Hot Chocolate (RM10.00)
Rating 3.5/5

Standing Theory is actually quite famous for their coffee like flat white but since both of us cannot really drink coffee so we decided to order hot chocolate instead. Don't get me wrong. I actually love coffee. Just that I couldn't drink much as I will suffer breathing difficulty during the night time if I drink a lot. I think the chocolate is perfectly balanced as in it is well mixed lah. The taste is okay as well. So far, I have not try any chocolate which I think is the best yet. Any recommendation??

I always see this pose whenever people post their coffee picture on Instagram. So, I am trying to imitate that pose as well. So, here you go my imitation. I think it turns out to be quite good huh? Haha. (*self compliment). Anyway, this is chocolate, not coffee. Surprisingly, they have art on their chocolate as well. Most cafes only offer art on their coffee but not on their chocolate.

Isn't this is cool when you still can see the art/design even after finishing it??

OldSchool @ Bandar Puteri Puchong

It's Pork, It's Good! So, this is their tagline. Obviously, based on this we know that this is a non-halal restaurant. From the look itself, I thought that they only served western food. Surprisingly, they also served Asian food like nasi lemak, roasted pork rice, noodles, penang rojak, lobak, and other food as well like burger, sandwiches, soup, salad, spaghetti, steak and many more.

As the name itself suggest OldSchool, so obviously we know that their interior design and concept are all based on old school theme. For example, you can see a lot of formulas, calculations as well as small kids' arts on their wall, the way their waiters and waitresses dressed up in school uniform complete with the typical white socks and white shoes and together with their nerdy glasses. On top of that, you can also find some of the typical childhood snacks in the olden days being sold here like orange sweet, mamee monster, popo muruku ikan, durian corn snack and ice pop. Last but not least, look at their menu. Is like our exercise book complete with the rukun negara behind it. Altough, all these are just some small and tiny matters during our school life which we wouldn't even bother or care during that time but when you are getting older or when you out of the school life, you will start to realized how these small and tiny things actually remind you so much about your school life.

So, this is their menu complete with their name, address, and telephone number. All these are real information ya. Don't ever think that they put it just for the sake of putting it. Lol.

Grilled Pork Steak (RM19.90) 
Rating: 3.0/5

Grilled pork steak is a special cut lean pork steak, marinated and grilled to perfection, served with green salad and potato wedges. I like their wedges. For the pork steak itself, the taste was quite good but I personally don't really like this type of taste. Is not the food problem, is actually my problem. You get what I mean?? Haha.

Chicken Parmigiana (RM16.90) 
Rating: 3.5/5

Chicken Parmigiana is a deep-fried chicken thigh topped with pomodoro sauce and mozzarella cheese, served with green salad and potato wedges. Before this, I was thinking whether I should order this or not as it look quite interesting but when I saw there were cheese on top, then I changed my mind because I am not really a cheese lover. Luckily, my sister ordered this so I get to try some. I think this is quite nice because it tasted a bit like hawaiian pizza. Lol.

Grilled Pork Steak Burger (RM10.90) 
Rating: 2.5/5

Grilled Pork Steak Burger is actually a specially made charcoal bun with grilled tender pork steak. First time eating charcoal bun. How was it?? Nothing special. The pork steak taste is exactly same as the above grilled pork steak taste which I don't really like.

So, here you go another close up shot of the charcoal bun burger!

Overall, in term of food, the taste was quite good. The portion are quite big as well. Some are quite pricey but some are quite reasonable depending on what you actually order. For environment wise, was so so only. Maybe is because it is a open restaurant so it doesn't look so classy. Actually based on the environment itself, I actually lower down my expectation on their food but it turns out to be out of my expectation.

For your information, they also got sell forty licks ice cream and kurobuta burger. Kurobuta pork is the finest pork in the world and the most highly prized pork in Japan. Kurobuta means "black pig" in Japanese. No wonder, they are selling this burger at RM29.90.

El Cactus Bistro and Bar

Probably this is the only western restaurant in Port Dickson that I know. El Cactus actually serves Mexican cuisine.

So, this is how it looks like around 6pm like that. It looks a little more romantic during the night time with all the candles lighted up in the dark environment but don't expect too much lah.

Pan Fried Red Snapper (RM35.00) 
Rating: 3.5/5

Pan Fried Red Snapper is actually a dish that served with buttered potatoes and boiled broccoli, carrot and cauliflower.  According to the menu, it was suppose to be buttered potatoes but what I think he gave us was actually a hash brown. Anyway, is ok lah because I like to eat hash brown. So no issue. I think the sauce is nice and it taste good with the fish as well.

Mixed Grilled
Rating: No comment because I don't eat beef.

For your information, I am not the one that ordered the food so I am not sure what is this. If I am not mistaken this is Mixed Grilled, a combination of grilled beef, chicken and prawns served with vegetables & choice of either mushroom, black pepper or BBQ sauce. No comment on this because I don't eat beef but I tasted their black pepper sauce. Not bad.

Spaghetti Seafood Alio Olio with Sun Dried Tomato (RM28.00) 
Rating: 4/5

I like their alio olio. The taste is good and the taste is just nice. I think this is the best among the dishes we ordered that night.

Cactus Polo Loco (RM25.00) 
Rating: 1.0/5

Cactus Polo Loco, grilled chicken served with your choice of sauce with mashed potatoes and salad. This is sucks. Definitely, I wouldn't go for this anymore. First of all, the sauce is like a bit tasteless. Secondly, is chicken breast which I hate so much.

French Fries (RM10.00) ~ Small 
Rating: 3/5

So, this is their fries (*Obviously). It taste like..... fries lor. Haha. No comment on this actually.

 

Part of the Seafood Fajitas

Seafood Fajitas (RM30.00) 
Rating: 2.5/5

Fajitas is actually a Mexican specialty where a choice of seasoned beef, chicken or seafood with laco spices are grilled on sizzling hot plate served with flour tortillas, Mexican rice, cheddar cheese, guacamole, sour cream and salsa sauce. This is my first time eating fajitas. The seafood itself is quite nice la the taste but if everything mixed and eat together, I think is average only.

Caffe Bene @ Solaris Mon't Kiara

Annyeong Haseyo!! No doubt to say that korean trend is emerging as an influential global trend.  This happen in Malaysia as well. This trend have been getting stronger too. No matter are in terms of their song, their drama, their dressing style, their language or even their food. I believe that most of us more or less will know one or two Korean words right like "Annyeong Haseyo"(Hello/How Are You), "Kamsahamida"(Thank You), "Otoke"(What to Do), "Chon-Mahn-Eh-Yo"(You Are Welcome). When you talk about k-pop idol, I guess everyone know who is Big Bang and Girls' Generation right?? When you talk about drama, who don't know the latest and hottest drama, My Love from the Star (Lai Zi Xing Xing De Ni) even me myself is watching this drama right now. I know this drama was quite sometime already but because I was too busy with my assignment and exam previously so forgive me for being a bit outdated. Is A BIT only ar!! Lol. Next, when you talk about food, who don't know what is tteokbokki, kimchi and dak galbi right? So, same goes for their dessert as well like bingsu. I'll let you know more about bingsu in a short while. Let me introduce you to Caffe Bene first. 

So, Caffe Bene is actually a coffeehouse chain that based in Seoul, South Korea and was founded in May 2008 by Sun-Kwon Kim. Caffe Bene mean "Good Cafe". Caffe Bene has more than thousand of outlets across countries such as Korea, US, China, Philippines, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Mongolia, Cambodia, Singapore, Japan and of course Malaysia as well. They offer a wide range of products from waffles to honeybread, gelato, frappeno, cocktail, coffee and bingsu.

There are only 2 outlets in Malaysia. First outlet was opened in Sunway Pyramid and the second one was in Solaris Mon't Kiara. So, this is how Caffe Bene in Solaris Mon't Kiara looks like. I went here with my friends two weeks ago after eating our dinner at Gangnam88. Again, the cafe was full with people and there were people queuing as well. We waited awhile before we get a place to sit. They actually practise a self service concept where first of all you have to place your order at the counter there (*obviously). Then they will give you an UFO plate. When your UFO plate light up and vibrate, it means that your order is ready for collection. Is the same concept used in Snowflakes.

Gelato with waffle (RM14)

Gelato ~ Single / 1 Scoop (RM6)

Gelato ~ Double / 2 Scoops (RM12)

Gelato ~ Small / 3 Scoops (RM18)

Gelato ~ Large / 5 Scoops (RM28) 

Their gelato are available in eight flavours namely strawberry, espresso, blueberry yoghurt, yoghurt, cream cheese, green tea, vanilla and dark chocolate.

I saw this fake and "rusty" clock on their wall. They have this similar clock in their Sunway Pyramid outlet as well. I don't know what it mean or what it actually symbolized. Perhaps is their trademark. Anyway, it attracted me and I think it was quite nice as well so I captured it. 

Cookies and Cream Bingsu (RM22.80) ~ Large 
Rating:1.5/5

Finally, this is the bingsu I mention just now. Bingsu is actually a Korean shaved ice topped with nuts, cereal flakes, fruits, biscuits, jelly bits, beans, ice cream, cream, yoghurt and etc. They have five flavours in total namely strawberry bingsu, coffee bingsu, green tea tower bingsu, cookies & cream bingsu and the latest one is choco devil bingsu. They are available in two sizes that is small (RM12.80) and large (RM22.80). Since we went here after dinner, we were so full that we only ordered one large size of bingsu to share. My friends went and order this large size cookies and cream bingsu. They should have order two small but different flavours instead. Anyway, I think their cookies and cream bingsu is not really nice. Is kinda diluted and a bit too milky the taste. I think McDonald's Oreo Mcflurry is so much nicer. I guess that other flavours might be nicer. This is what I guess only la. Lol.

By chance if I go again, I would definitely like to try their other flavours of bingsu, their honeybread, their gelato and their waffles which look so freaking delicious.

Oh ya, by the way we actually ordered one of their drink that day. I don't know what was the name of the drink because it was ordered by my friends which I think it was quite nice and refreshing. I guess it might be either lemonade or iced fruit tea.

Anyway, there are actually quite a number of Korean restaurants in Solaris here. A bit like Korean Village at Ampang there. Maybe you can check it out and see how was it.

Gangnam88 @ Solaris Mon't Kiara

So it was the last paper of my final exam which ended two weeks ago on the 31 May 2014 at 7pm. My three months summer break officially start. Since my birthday is around the corner, so my friends celebrated it in advance for me that night before each of us is going back to our hometown the next day. Before this, we actually planned to celebrate it by having a buffet dinner at Tao-Cuisine. There were two reasons why we ended up not eating in Tao. First reason is because by the time we finished our exam and reached that place will be very late for buffet already. Second reason is because we didn't do any booking.

So my friend suggested us to go to Gangnam88 since she heard some good reviews from her friends. We reached that place around 9.00pm and the restaurant is full with people and there were people queuing as well. We waited for like half an hour before we actually get a place to sit. So, all of us were thinking the same thing. "Must be nice huh"! It turned out to be a disappointment though. Non of the food we ordered were nice and non of these food we feel like going for the second time. I don't mean that it taste really bad la but what I can say is it doesn't taste good. Is eatable only. At this moment, I think Daorae in Sri Petaling is still the best Korean food I ate so far.

Rating: 1.5/5

So, this is their so called best seller. We actually read in someone blog that every table had this order and we saw in their menu as well that this is their best seller. So, we decided to gave it a try and we regret for ordering it. First of all, it is not tasty at all. The chicken itself is a bit tasteless unless you dip in black pepper or some sauce like mayonnaise which I don't I like. Secondly, I don't think that there is any beer taste at all. Thirdly, you need to wait for 45 minutes to an hour time for this particular dish. This was stated in their menu. Surprisingly, we were served with this dish within 15 minutes that day.

Rabbokggi (RM33.00) 
Rating: 1.5/5

Another dish that we ordered that night was rabbokggi. Rabbokggi is actually a combination of korean rice cake or better known as tteokbokki and instant ramen noodle or better known as ramyeon. They have egg, veggies and dumpling in it as well. I love to eat tteokbokki a lot because of their chewy texture. To determine whether it is nice or not, I think the sauce itself play a very important role. In this case, I don't think the sauce is nice and so the tteokbokki as well. 

Kimchi Jjigae (RM20.00) 
Rating: 1.0/5

I don't like to eat kimchi but surprisingly I am okay with kimchi soup. But I don't like the above  kimchi soup taste as well.

BBQ Pork ~ Dwaeji-Galbi (RM49.00) Large 
Rating: 2.0/5

Their special savory pork ribs sauce recipe is originated from South Korea Jeju Island restaurant, a traditional recipe for more than 30 years. Again, I think this is average only.  

So, these are the side dishes they offered and the good thing is it offers unlimited refills as well like other korean restaurant.

This is the inner view of Gangnam88 with lots of K-pop idol's poster around. If you are a K-pop fans then you might like this place because you can have a look on their posters, listen to their songs and watch their shows while enjoying your korean meal. 

A lot of people right? Honestly, for me, I don't really like the food here but maybe you can try and see because different people may have different taste. What I don't like doesn't mean you don't like as well right.
