SS4 Coconut Shake

Hey guys! 

I just realised that I haven't posted anything in a month! THAT and my wallet is getting fatter with all the receipts of restaurants that I want to blog about. Hmm...

Let's get this ball back rolling now shall we!!

Ever heard of the Klebang Coconut Shake in Melaka? No...this is not about that shake. This post is about a more local coconut shake in SS4! 

If you love coconut water or coconut flavoured treats then stick around for the rest of the post. 

I have tried Sangkaya's coconut ice cream and it's on the creamier side of things compared to this humble coconut shake truck. The SS4 coconut shake is more refreshing in the sense that there's more ice and coconut juice compared to ice cream. The boy has been me to try this for a while and coincidentally passed by it on the way to brunch and just had to get a cup. 

Coconut Shake Special (RM3.50)

The boy got us a cup of the Coconut Shake Special which was the shake but a scoop of coconut ice cream! Double goodness! 

My verdict? TWO THUMBS UP! Definitely coming back for more yummy, affordable and refreshing coconut goodness!!

That's it for this post! 
Cheers!

Sangkaya @ Salt 'n Koffie, Jaya One

Hey ice cream peeps! 

If you like coconut water and ice cream then you're gonna love Sangkaya's coconut ice cream! 

The first time I tried coconut ice cream was at the Sleeping Buddha Temple in Penang when I was very young. My parents are from Kelantan so we used to drive back all the time and on the way, we would visit the temple. I would always get a cone or cup of coconut ice cream when we went. 

Recently, the ice cream uncle isn't there anymore so I was quite sad since it isn't the same when visiting the temple and I don't get to eat really tasty, cheap and refreshing coconut ice cream...UNTIL! my friend posted a cup of Sangkaya ice cream on her instagram! 

On a spontaneous trip to Jaya One on a dessert run, le boyfriend and I passed Sangkaya and decided to get a cup! We got the special which comes with 4 scoops of ice cream in a coconut husk with 3 toppings of your choice. We chose cereal, cornflakes and chocolate sauce! 

Sangkaya Signature Coconut Ice Cream (RM10.50)

It was delicious!!! A little creamier compared to the ice cream from my memories but yummy all the same! I loved it with the cereal toppings! My verdict? When can I have seconds? =D

Rum & Raisin Kit Kat

Hello Kit Kat junkies! 

Here I am hitting you with another kit kat flavour and this is one of my favourites!! 

RUM & RAISIN!!! 

I love everything rum & raisin from ice cream to cookies and of course chocolate! I immediately bought two boxes the moment I saw it although I haven't tried it before. =P 

It's a white chocolate kit kat but don't be fooled because the moment you tear open the wrapping, the sweet smell of rum & raisin comes bursting out! The aroma is so good that I could smell it all day! 

It's a little sweeter compared to other kit kats but I think the white chocolate had something to do with it. My verdict? TWO THUMBS UP BABY!! 

The box sells for ¥800 (approx. RM24) and it holds 12 kit kats. I found this at the Aqua City souvenir shop on the 3rd floor. 

That's it for this post! 
Cheers!

Rocku Yakiniku, Pavilion

Yo peeps! 

This post is a bit overdue but I'll try to explain the juiciness as best as I can remember! =)

Rocku Yakiniku...now where to start...ah yes! You all know what barbeque rite but did yoi know that there are different ways to have barbeque? Rocku Yakiniku is a Japanese style barbeque joint that uses hot coals and a barbwire grill. 

The line into the restaurant on the 6th floor of Pavilion was extremely long! Remember to make a booking if you don't want to wait 30 minutes or more. 

The staff will bring a pot of coal and place it under the wire once you've ordered. There will be a an order sheet on the table for you to tick what kind of meat you would like. Since they use coal to cook the meat, it is on a 70 minute time limit so eat as much as you can...FAST! 

Vegetables and sauces can be found at the buffet area...not much to choose from but I like grilled capsicum and pumpkin! I also question the inclusion of apples...i tried to make grilled apples but it was a little too late by the time I had enough space to grill it...

We had a portion of all the meat to try since it was our first time there and we didn't know how big the portions were. As a pork lover...love it!!! Gotta go again one day to experiment marinating sauces! Le boyfriend is good at that! 

The overall grill size is pretty small but it cooks quite fast especially at the beginning when the coal is at its hottest so remember to keep an eye on it! 

We also called a few bottles of Kirin! There was a beer girl walking around the restaurant so be on the look out for her for she may have promotional beers to give out! 

That's all for this post...sorey if it wasn't as juicy as I said it would be but I must admit that it was quite good albeit a bit expensive! 

Shall leave you guys with some pics of us! That's it for this post!
Cheers!

Madame Waffle, Mid Valley

Hi all! 

I've actually got a few places to review so look forward to them but for now, I shall leave you will a short one. 

Madame Waffle! I first saw their waffles on my friend's instagram and I immediately went, "Waffle...looks good...want..." To my luck, my friend Jun wanted to go for food and a movie and I of course picked Mid Valley due to cravings. 

DARN YOU CRAVINGS!! 

The shop is located on the mezzanine level on the newly renovated area of 3rd floor Mid Valley. I have to say they did a bang up job of the renovation. It looks incredible now! 

Ah hem! Back to the waffles, it didn't occur to me that it was a Japanese waffle store until I got there. Well cause when you think of Belgium waffles you think Europe or maybe that's just me. 

They have a wide range of waffle flavours and waffle platters. We were quite full after the movie so we opt for a original waffle for me and a dark chocolate waffle for Jun. 

After paying, you get this block of wood with a number pasted on it. Once your order is ready, they will shout out your number. A bit rough for a Japanese cafe...

Original (RM5.90)

I would always try the Original flavour when facing waffles and I really liked Madame Waffles! It was crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I think they drizzled a littlw honey on it for some sweetness. Nice taste! 

Dark Chocolate (RM6.90)

The waffles came in a type of wax/oil paper where the oil from the waffle can seep in but you hands will remain clean. The chocolate waffle came with an extra layer of plastic...to prevent chocolate wastage?? Not really sure of the purpose... Anyway! Jun says it was quite good also!

Quote from both of us: "It tastes like bread!"

Yes, we both said that and it's true. The waffle tastes like bread and a very fluffy bread at that. My verdict? Good place to chill and good food but I do suggest you go when you're not so full that you're going to explode! like what we did... hehehe =P...because it tastes like bread, and it actually is as filling as bread too. 

That's it for this post!
Cheers!

Brew & Bread Coffee Bar, One City USJ23

Hello foodies! 

Here's a good find that we stumbled on yesterday at One City. The Brew & Bread! 

Le boyfriend, his mum and myself wanted some dessert after dinner at Uncle Jang so I said, "Let's try the Charlie Chaplin Cafe." Little did I know that the cafe wasn't really a cafe but a restaurant....there are some cakes on the menu but maybe I will try it out for brunch another day. 

We actually passed the Brew & Bread on the way and I saw it empty and thought, "Why is it empty?!" Pretty shallow of me to 'Judge a book by its cover' but lucky for me le boyfriend said nothing ventured nothing gained. So, in we went. 

The first thing that facinated me about the coffee house was the door! Yes, you read right...the DOOR! 

The coffee bar has a revolving door kind of concept and it is AWESOME! Walking in, you immediately see the order counter and cashier, to the right, the menu on the wall and the stairs upstairs. 

The interior design was pretty cool. It's got a nice ambience and the gigantic 'chandelier' was so cool! Oh and beware of the ninjas! >.=

Ok! Ok! How about some food now. As the name of the coffee house suggests, they do sell bread and at a reasonable price. 

They also have a qide selection of muffins and cakes. We ended up ordering a Steamer (hot milk with a shot of caramel), hot chocolate & a lamingtong cake. 

Lamington Cake (RM9)

A lamington cake is a traditional Australian cake which consists of two layers of chocolate cake with either cream or jam in between and covered in dessicated coconut. The first time I ate lamington cake was in Australia and weirdly enough it tasted just like 烤鸭 'roast duck' to me...maybe it was burnt...oh well! 

This lamington cake was good! It was soft, fluffy and the raspberry (I think) was a good touch to it. Definitely a good try when you're at the cafe. 

Steamer (RM7)

Kyaaaaaaaaaaa!!! >/////////< Hello Kitty!!!!! It's sooooooooo cuteeeeeeeee!!!

^ That was my reaction when my drink came...I completely did not expect it to come as cute as it did!!! TWO thumbs up for the super duper kawaii milk art!! The taste? Hot milk with caramel...me likes! 

Hot Chocolate (RM10)

After the Hello Kitty, I was super excited to see what le boyfriend got and low and behold he got a MINION!! I don't really expect cute latte arts like these since most of the places (not that many YET) I go to stick to the normal hearts and flowers. So another TWO thumbs up for this! By the way, it's hot chocolate so it tasted like chocolate...nothing special but good that it didn't go over the chocolate limit which some cafes do. 

One thing that you guys should try is their Cold Drip Coffee. They have the drip at the back of the cafe and you can see the cold water dripping onto the coffee beans and becoming really strong and concentrated coffee. 

The verdict? I would definitely go back! I like finding good chilling places nearby. I'll be sure to try out more off the menu when I go back! 

That's it with this post! I shall leave you with a pretty photo of le boyfriends mum. 
Cheers!
