Suddenly, I spotted this cafe during the rain while searching for a hair saloon. So I decided I would like to have dinner somewhere here. I ended up eating at the Japanese restaurant next door but I had a coffee here as I was very sleepy. 

The decor and ambience is amazing. The door, for one, is very unique. The handle was made from wooden ladle. And the old door gave an old charm to the cafe. 

As one enters the cafe, one is greeted by an old chest with a steel tiffin-carrier and some books, even an Enid Blyton book! 

On the ceiling, hung knick-knacks like pots and pans, ladles and even an old-fashioned red flask, that we used to have, when we were young. 

Initially I wanted to order cappuccino, my favourite coffee but then thought that since I was going to takeaway, and would not be able to see the flowery design on the surface of the coffee, I decided to get a latte instead. It seems that the barista was so kind to make a leaf design specially for my latte inside the paper cup too! Yeah! 

The latte was not bad. Not too much milk and the milk was not too milky and did not have the normal milk taste. The most amazing thing is that the latte/cappuccino costs only RM 8, much cheaper than the international franchise coffee which do not have the design on the surface. 

I noticed they also serve set lunch on weekdays at about RM 12-15, at 11.30 am -2pm for unique food like Ulam Spaghetti which have Malay culture in it. I am definitely coming back to try this item.

Due to my colleague's 3rd anniversary working in our company, she was very generous to treat the whole department to lunch here. I never knew there is such a cosy and cool and awesome restaurant just in Taman Paramount serving the best food at such affordable price! 

The place is easy to miss as there is no signboard outside at all! I guess you must have very clear vision for food to spot it! 

The decor was fantastic and very unique so much so that I am definitely making a comeback to bring my friends over for a great gathering. It was like an art gallery with art pieces and drawings and paintings hung on all the walls. I have  a feeling the boss likes the old artistes like Azean Irdawaty as there were black and white pictures of her. 

There is even a special dining room, perhaps for reservation and private functions that is so elaborately decorated with paintings and unique lamps. 

There is also al fresco dining with a lot of special lamps hung from the ceiling. I presume there might be band at night as I spotted a small stage. Every wooden chair has a small rectangular pillow tied to it, very attention-to-detail. 

Inside, the ceiling is filled with hats like witch hats etc hung from the ceiling. Definitely very extraordinary experience. There is also an old cabinet displaying curios like knick-knacks, notebooks and some small decorations. There is also a big bookshelf displaying many books from picture books to encyclopaedias and coffee books. 

The food? Just simply amazing and as unique as the decoration and ambience. A look at the menu will cause any foodie to feel like she wants to order simply everything! 

My colleague ordered Chicken Ala-King which is  typical rice dish served in old rest house and club houses. The host ordered a rice dish which has a weird name called Bouillabaisse which is traditional seafood stew from Marseille. I did not take pictures as it is not polite to do that. 

I ordered Moussaka (RM 22.90) which contained mashed potatoes with cheese, sauteed spiced minced lamb, fried aubergine, classic marinara sauce, topped with egg and cheese mixture. The verdict. Simply wonders to the soul and definitely ordering this mediterranean dish again! 

My other colleague ordered seafood salad which looks normal to me. The prawns were quite fresh. 

The lemonade was also refreshing to the soul. 

The desserts were not in the menu. We ordered the Creme Brulee which all my colleagues kept praising except for me as I did not like the creamy stuff. 

The Banana Toffee was the most sinful and tasty for me. Every bite was sinfully heaven. The chocolate chips on top add to the wonders.

When I first saw this place, it gave the feeling of somewhere very posh and expensive but decided to try it nevertheless. The ambience is very cosy and quiet, suitable for any type of gathering. When I saw the menu, most of the first few pages were very expensive as they were for BBQ food. Then last portion has the normal ala-carte Korean food which was very cheap. They even have set lunch for only RM 18 on weekdays only. 

We sat at the low table where we cook sit like traditional Koreans but without folding our legs. Couples could actually play kicking legs too!

There was a bottle of cold Korean tea given to each table. 

We ordered the Kimchi soup (Soon-dubu-j jigae) with one rice. The soup was quite ok but a tad too salty. The best part is this RM 20 soup dish and also another dish came 9 big side dishes! Even the pumpkin side dish was quite ok.

The Bulgogi beef glass noodles (RM 22) was not just glass noodles with a little beef but it was more beef with a little glass noodles as ingredient! The portion was so much and sadly, my friend did not eat beef so I had to takeaway some of it. 

After we have finished our food, we were surprised when served with complimentary cold barley (which was quite sweet) and also a slice of watermelon each! 

I would say this is a place worth a visit when we are looking for reasonably priced place which still has the ambience! The service was also impeccable as the waiters are always ready to serve!

After a rally at Sunway Pyramid, I met my friend here. This is a very cosy and cool hangout place. In fact, it seems to be famous in Korea as they used a Korean artiste to market it.

The Coffe Bingsu was very humongous. It was full of coffee shaved ice with chocolate chips, almond chips, hazelnut and a lot of chocolate! It was topped with a small piece of chocolate and even cornflakes, of all things, were sprinkled on top. 

I also could not resist buying the small packets of ready-made sachets of coffee for RM 4.80 per pack that contains 3 inside. The coffee was just so-so. 

There was a giant clock on the wall as a decoration too. So thumbs up for decor.

Fresh Seafood at Fisherman's Cove Smile Mar 22, 2014

We went to Maison Francaise but it seemed that their kitchen for lunch was close and there was only tea. So we decided to go to Starhill and search for food. We ended up eating Fisherman Cove at the last floor.

The upstairs was closed but I specially requested that they allowed me to dine there since that was the sole purpose I chose that restaurant over the rest.

The ambience was spectcular and very romantic. Every table had a fish net as a light.

The french bread was warm and crispy and was fantastic.

The Lobster Thermidor (RM 148) was amazing. The cheese lobster was nicely cut and every bite was pure bliss especially if you like cheese. The meat was very succulent.

The lobster also came with Spaghetti Olio which was made very tasty even though it was very simple.

The Blue Mojito was amazing with a lot of fresh peppermint and was a little sour. It cost RM 22.

The Vanilla drink (RM 18) was quite ok. It was not sweet at all which was to my taste.
