Imagine something amazing! It’s been happening at the Imazium, Damansara Utama. From 5pm, this little cafe, Cream, offers a buy 1 free 1 three course dinner for RM68++. Take your significant other, your family…of just makan with a a friend! They’ve increased the menu selection…from 2 mains (originally) to 5 choices…chicken, lamb, duck, fish, mushroom. (There was originally a burger option but it has been removed). You can also order ala carte but my personal opinion is that it’s pretty pricy. The breakfast menu looks good and super affordable though! A wide selection of desserts are available ala carte but their brownie on the set is so good, why explore? 😂 (my mum prefers the burnt cheesecake though). You can reserve a table but do note that cellular coverage isn’t that great so they may not respond too promptly. Staff are friendly and many seem to be being trained up and have a really good learning posture to be accountable servers. Great place! Been back 3x and my family went without me once! 😂😂😂 Offer was extended to August 2023…but am not sure about September 2023.

We finally tried this lovely little cafe that is located in Subang Jaya, it’s packed with locals and we queue around 25min for our turn, the seats are limited but it’s definitely worth the wait. The staff are efficient, refilling our water and also recommending us options since we were first timers. We decided to go for the big breakfast sharing platter which is enough for 2 - 3 pax. The portion is very big and it came with a lot of stuff; waffle, bread loaf, fries, baked beans, eggs etc. The scrambled eggs are a bit over cooked but bacons and egg Benedict is super awesome. We also got a iced latte to enjoy the food with, it’s a really nice breakfast meal and the price is reasonable too. #foodie #deliciousfood #mytripvlog #awesomepic #couplestrip #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #cafe

I went to have lunch at The Fire, located at Tropicana Garden Mall. The food was good and ambient. The price was affordable compared to the other korean restaurants available. It costs RM40+ for 2 bowl of rice, 8 pieces fried chicken and 1 bowl of steamed egg, delicious!!! And of course, walked around to get llaollao on wednesday promotion 🤣 How to get there? 1. By par, the parking fee is cheap 2. Mrt: get down at Surian station #awesomepic #deliciousfood #foodie

We went to this amazing cafe that is famous for their soybean products, it’s been around for many years and it has always been our favourite! It’s called Soylab. A good spot to get some desserts after a meal to enjoy a cosy environment for hanging out. The place is comfy and there are friendly staff to explain on the options and taste. We ordered a Soybean shaved ice, the toppings included pearls, red beans and glass jelly cubes. The soya taste is very strong and sweet, the ingredients is also fresh! The shaved ice even came in a presentation with the cooling air from the bottom plate. We couldn’t resist to order their soybean ice cream too, we got in a cup sized and it’s really good. Note that parking can be hard to find because it’s located in Damansara Uptown, it’s limited parking but there’s an option of parking in the Starling Mall which is only around 10 minutes walking distances and you can go shopping after the dessert. ##wecreate #kualalumpur #awesomepic #couplestrip #deliciousfood #foodie #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers

WE VISITED THIS COSY CAFE FOR TEA IN JULY 2023. SINCE IT WAS AFTER THE RUSH LUNCH HOUR, PARKING WAS NOT A PROBLEM. THE WAITER SUGGESTED FOR US TO TRY THEIR FAMOUS TIRAMISU. IT WAS NOT A FAILURE AS THE TIRAMISU WAS DELICIOUS CREAMY AND RICH BUT NOT OVERLY SWEET. THE TEXTURE WAS PERFECT AND IT MELTS IN THE MOUTH. WE FINISHED THE WHOLE TIRAMISU WITHIN SECONDS AND WE ORDERED ANOTHER SUGGESTED DESSERT- PEANUT BUTTER TRUFFLE. THE SIZE WAS SMALL BUT WE COULD TASTE THE QUALITY OF CHOCOLATE USED BY THE CAFE. OVERALL WE HAD AN ENJOYABLE TEA AT THIS COSY AND FRIENDLY CAFE #travel #foodie #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #cafe #summervacation #celebratewithtrip #2023travelwish #couplestrip #travel

Came here for our last breakfast before leaving Kuala Lumpur. This is our second attempt as compared to our Bentong outlet first attempt. You have to queue to dine-in where by your table number is assigned to you so you won't have to worry about your table getting taken while you queue for food if you are alone. Different outlets have different food stalls but the same name falls under the drinks stall with their Signature 1 + 1 drink. Highly recommends their toasts and the muffin. Sadly, was too full to try the bagel bun. The nasi lemak is not bad too.#thongkee #puchong #kayabuttertoast #steamedtoast #nasilemak

You should try out their wanton mee which is in black soya sauce, instead of ketchup that we had in Singapore .The mi Kia (thin noodle) that they used are much slimmer than the ones we had in Singapore .
