Bistro is Just a Fancy name for a restaurant

Delifrance Bistro. We used to go there because last time the food was ok but then after some time it was bigger than our pockets could handle. So we went off it. But after a long long absent in our lives, we went there for lunch today.
Amazingly, i donno what happen but the prices went from expensive to reasonably cheap! We took the "Pasta & Sandwich Promotion". You get a starter of either a soup or salad, an entree(pasta or sandwich) and beverage of choice (carbonated drinks/peach or lemon tea).

I wanted coffee. By adding RM 3.00, i got my cup of latte. I had it with mushroom soup and pasta Forestiere.

I tried the Pasta Forestiere. Its actually spaggeti with a creamy wild mushroom sauce. "Forestiere" is actually a french word meaning forest. The sauce can be a mix of wild mushroom with poultry and fish. In my pasta forestiere, there was mushrooms, slices of chicken and chunks of fish. Although the portion is small, you will get full pretty quick because the sauce is so creamy. The pasta was nice indeed. 

Final verdict, i spend RM13.00++ for lunch today. They gave plenty of garlic bread. 2 sticks with the mushroom soup and a few more with the pasta. For that kind of money and kenyang and good latte, what can i say is..we will visit you again.

Place : Delifrance Bistro, Sg Wang Plaza, Kuala Lumpur.

The Old but new

Before going back to campus, i had lunch with the mama and brother at OldTown White Coffee. I very the suka the OldTown hazelnut white coffee. Creamy and just nice.

Many had their doubts about OldTown but for this branch, thankfully all the workers are Malaysian and superbly friendly. You feel at ease with the service and you don't have to talk weird because they are not foreign workers(yang tak faham bahasa). Haha. 

I'm a bit dissapointed with the food at OldTown. Looks on the menu can be very deceiving. The food is so-so only. But the beverages and toasts are great. Oh as i was not that hungry, i ate the french toast. There is something about eating it with kaya. Sedap.

Place : OldTown White Coffee Kopitiam Kinrara, Selangor.

Behold. Coffee Money.

IT has arrived. My coffee money!

I got 365 gift voucher worth of coffee delivered to me via FedEx. 

Imagine 365 cups of coffee to drink. And da best thing is...its free!

Thank You San Francisco Coffee! hee..

Sweet Tooth!

Mama ordered this. Refreshing Mango ABC at a new kopitiam joint near our house. This is after 1 hour of jogging. Mama said, "Replenish the energy lost".

*Laughs coz its mango. Nutrients! haha

I like my Coffee

"Yes. Coffee of the day please"

"Coffee of the day Miss? But its black."

"Yeah, I know......" (smiling)

To smell coffee is perfume to me. I've been passing by San Francisco Coffee Suria KLCC too often now. I really want to try the food there! I know the coffee is of my taste. People say its too bitter but that makes coffee, C.O.F.F.E.E..duhh..It shud be bitter.

I like My coffee with 2 packets of sugar and milk. ah..from black to creamy. I can take black but i prefer it creamy. Here in San Fran, they use PAL SWEET artificial sugar(halal. see the logo). I think others offers EQUAL.

I had problem deciding what should i eat because they offer a variety of sandwiches, pasta, pastry. One dish caught my eye behind the glass counter. Mushroom Chicken Cabiatta. (shittake, cheese, chicken salami snuggle between two pieces of perfectly toasted cabiatta bread).

People say the food there is nice and I hereby support that totally. The price is reasonable. The service is quick. And the staff are super friendly.

Now i understand why THAT San Francisco Coffee joint is always pack with people until its hard to find seats at peak hours.  Good food, Good Coffee, Good Service.

Super Supermarket - Mercato

I love the supermarket. I love grocery shopping. I enjoy looking at food either in packaging or fresh. I enjoy looking at variety of food and learn a lot through the labels. I feel like a kid in a candy store whenever i go to exclusive supermarket. When i say exclusive here means, they have stuff from UK, Australia, America, Arab country, Italy.  Products where our local Giant do not have. I feel like i traveled far and wide through food. No passport required. Just passion in appreciating food. To compare the way it is package, the price rate, the ingredients and etc is something i really enjoy doing. Frozen blueberries, various choices of Feta, Mozzarella balls, ravioli in the frozen aisle, Starbucks frap in a bottle, Poptarts, avocados, wholesome peaches, variety of pesto.....the list is endlessly wonderful.

Mercato at Pavillion.

I may sound weird but to have a grocery shopping date with love at Mercato would be a dream come true.

Theobroma : Chocolate Lounge

i've been busy. sorry for not updating as frequent. but today I got inspired by chocolate. its been my burning desire to finally eat with my girlfriends, ana and icah at chocolate lounge, pavillion KL. we went there around 12pm something for the lunch set. For RM15.90++..you will get...either set olio, set chicken & rice or set shepherds pie. we got one of each so that we can taste em all.. hahaha..

 spaghetti seafood olio

roast chicken and rice

Shepperd's Pie

With each main course we get our very own chocolate frappe(ice blended chocolate). Trust me the chocolate frap alone should cost RM15++ because its like drinking melted chocolate! its very rich. very yummy. very sinful. 

To end it on a very sweet note, with the Shepperd's Pie set you will get 'Strawberry Sensation'. that is 3 chocolate dipped strawberry. one for me, one for ica and one for ana. 

Overall, i feel i have to run around the padang 3 rounds to shed off the sinful calories. for RM15.90++..i'll come again because of the chocolate. aaaaaaa~

Place : Chocolate Lounge, Pavillion, Kuala Lumpur.
