De'Amour cafe is actually owned by Miss Tourism Pahang 2011 & Miss Malaysia Tourism (Metropolitan) 2011, Miss Jennifer Yap, who is also the chef of this little cafe.I find the interior of the cafe really sweet. The warm light, wooden flooring and sweet-looking wallpaper plastered over the wall, gives the cafe a very soothing and relaxing vibes. I felt as if I was in an English Cottage.Lovely little knick-knacks hanging on the walls of the cafe. I can't help it but to admire these little crafts.Fresh Flower Tea, RM7
As I once worked as a Flower Tea promoter two years ago, I could immediately distinguish the flower tea served to us with just a sip. Four different types of flower tea were served to us on that night, namely, Lavender, French Rose, Chamomile and one more which I couldn't identify because (I think) the shop that i worked for did not sell it LOL.

The flower tea was fragrant & refreshing. Each flower tea has its own distinctive taste and smell. My personal favourite would be French Rose, which, yes, has a subtle sweet smell of roses.

A lighted candle was seen inside a teapot warmer, where the dainty teapot was placed on top to keep the tea warm throughout the night. Smoked Duck Breast Salad RM15
Mixed salad with Italian Dressing, topped off with well-marinated smoked duck slices
The smoked duck was superb! Each slice was so tender, giving me the melt-in-the-mouth sensation and it kept me coming back for more! The vinaigrette dressing was lovely- it created a balance between sour and salty. Recommended!

]Baked Scallop with Spicy Cream Sauce RM16
It was love at first bite. The scallop was bursting juiciness as I take a bite of it. The creamy sauce compliments it perfectly, with a slight spicy aftertaste.

Valhrona Heaven RM34
The star dish of NOSH . The ultimate trio- Molten Choclate Cake, tart au chocolat & gourmet chocolate ice-cream
Now, one thing for sure, this is a MUST ORDER whenever you visit NOSH.

The word "heavenly" is an understatement when describing this dish.

The smooth and rich chocolate ice-cream on a base of chocolate crumble, was so smooth and velvety I could easily polish off the whole scoop on my own.The hot molten chocolate cake was a treasure. Rich, dark chocolate fondant come oozing out with a slight prick with a knife. The consistency of the dark chocolate filling was so thick, rich and perfect. Topped with cream and white chocolate, nothing could possibly go wrong with this dish.

My favourite pick would be the tart au chocolat. Crunchy with a subtle, aromatic cocoa tart, concealing the warm, molten rich dark chocolate. It put a smile on my face instantaneously. Love how the chocolate had a hint of bitterness. The sweetness was just nice, just a little hint of it, so that it wasn't overly cloying.

The complexity and sophistication as well as unique pairing of ingredients of the desserts served here definitely was a win. I dare to say that the desserts I had in NOSH is the best I've tried in my whole life (for now). Price might be a little steep but it's definitely worth every penny paid.

NOSH, a fairly new cafe in Bangsar Telawi area that has gained tremendous popularity. Yes, for their desserts. NOSH is the brainchild of two ladies (which I later found out that she is one of our classmate's mum's friend) so yay for girl power! There's actually two menus in NOSH, their regular food & drinks menu, and their desserts menu. We have been to Three Little Pigs and Yeast before we set foot into NOSH so (naturally), we went for their desserts menu. Nosh has a classy and clean cut interior, with a neat and spacious layout. Look around and you will find quirky furniture. Such as the unique clock hanging on the wall, or the handle of the toilet, which is actually a frying pan attached to a wooden board. Quirky little wall clock!
We arrived at NOSH at around 3pm and we were the only customer there. Probably because it was a weekday and Malaysia has this norm of having desserts only at night. Our order arrived quite fast thanks to that.

Berry Harvest (Left) & Caramelized Pumpkin Panna Cotta (Right) RM29 for two dessertsBerry Harvest features a combination of tart berries spiced up with Grand Marnier, rich custard cream, fragrant green tea and white chocolate
The Caramelized Pumpkin Panna Cotta on the other hand, features a creamy pumpkin panna cotta topped with burnt caramel and Andlaise sauce, on a bed of buttery Pecan Walnut crumbleThe body of Berry Harvest was smooth and refreshing. A little hint of sourness, paired with a fruity sweetness that is just nice, not too overwhelming, further enhanced by the milky white chocolate. The green tea cake base gives the whole dessert a slight bitter aftertaste. Bittersweet. This whole dessert had a sophisticated twist, but it all turns out well, perfect and balanced.

As a fan of pumpkin, the Pumpkin Panna Cotta immediately won my heart. Not just because of its subtle, sweet pumpkin taste (though I must admit, the pumpkin taste clearly is a win in this!). The texture of the panna cotta was light, fluffy and smooth as satin, a contrast to the crunchy butter pecan crumble base which was insanely addictive. The smooth Andlaise sauce complements the whole dessert perfectly. Perfectly. (I had to say it twice to emphasize how perfect this dessert was). The combination was simply brilliant.

Cheesy Pork Lasagne RM26
The amount of cheese was really generous. The cheese literally covered up the whole dish! Minced pork meat cooked in bolognese sauce & cheese sauce were generously spread out in each layer of lasagna sheet, resulting in a moist, flavourful and wholesome dish. I enjoyed this dish a lot but some of my friends think that it was tad dry. Recommended.

A while ago when I was performing my daily routine of browsing livingsocial and groupon for irresistible deals, I stumbled upon a deal at living social on Traditional English Afternoon Tea at Piano Lounge, Grand Dorsett Subang Jaya for only RM30 for 2 pax. Grand Dorsett is a five star hotel, and it is located quite near from where I live. My heart was itching. I've always wanted to experience a full English Tea. Mum's birthday was around the corner. LIGHT BULB MOMENT. I purchased the deal for my mum as her birthday present =PThe ambient there was tranquil, calm and peaceful. I immediately felt so relaxed once I step into Piano Lounge. The red carpeted floor, paired up with the black coffee table and yellowish gold sofa chair give the place a sleek, contemporary feel.Their ceiling, decorated with round glasses that resembles Chinese lanterns The bar, where all the drinks were prepared. The sound and aroma of the coffee machine grinding coffee bean was soothing to the ears and noseFor the drinks, we were given a choice between English Tea or Freshly Brewed Coffee
Being a coffee lover it was my automated response to opt for coffee
The coffee has a strong and aromatic body. Loved it =) It took quite a while for our three tier tea time delight to deliver to us. Not a bad thing, as the ambient was really soothing and relaxing =) more family bonding and interaction time Scones with jam and cream and Sardine Puffs
The Sardine Puffs feel very out of place. It was too Malaysian to me. I was hoping for a full English tea but the sardine puffs really tasted like curry puffs LOL. But nevertheless, the crust was rich in butter aroma, crusty and crispy. Delicious but I prefer if it was replaced with some other pastry which is more English =P

The scones were aromatic, fragrant and has a loose texture. I've tasted better ones at Cameron Highlands but the scones served at Piano Lounge was definitely one of the best scones I've ever tasted! And I think this is the best scone I have ever eaten..in Subang Jaya =p It's so hard to find a decent scone in Klang Valley :X
However I find the cream a little tasteless. It felt like it was homemade but it didn't really suit my liking.Fruit Tartlets, Chocolate Brownies and Raspberry Financiers
After reading the menu Grand Dorsett posted on Livingsocial, I realize it wasn't supposed to be chocolate brownies but OPERA CAKE. But the chocolate brownies were REALLY GOOD so I didn't mind heh. Rich in chocolate flavour, the chocolate brownie was moist and soft. It immediately melted in my mouth as a took a bite! Wonder why they gave us THREE of it not FOUR. Probably trying to make us fight? LOL

The fruit tartlet was filled with chocolate and cream cheese, and topped with a strawberry glazed with corn syrup. The crust , rich in butter aroma, flaky, PASS. The content, chocolate+cream cheese, texture was smooth and creamy, tasted not too sweet, paired up with the sweetened strawberry perfectly. PASS! Of all the pastry we tried, I personally preferred this the most. Yummy!

Financiers dusted with icing sugar and topped with raspberry
I find this too dry, and the raspberry was really sour. I didn't like it.Salmon Finger Sandwich and Egg Finger Sandwich
Two piece of de-crusted white bread slathered with butter and mayo, sandwiching two slices of fresh salmon, cucumber and tomatoes.
Finger sandwich was pretty normal. Brother claimed that he can DIY at home too LOL.
They used wholemeal bread for the egg sandwich which I found a tad dry
