Its all about cafe

I haven't blog much about food and baking for quite sometimes. Unfortunately just like blogging, baking has taken a back seat ever since I've made the transition into a new job. I know the passion is there and I just to make time for it. Probably if there is a demand (who wants cakes??), I will be more eager to re-ignite this old passion. Usually, its really difficult for Peter and I to finish up a whole cake by ourselves, of course there is a concern with the amount of cab and calories as well. ;) 

On the other hand, good food was never lacking no matter how busy I am. Today I am just gonna share with you some of the nice cafe that I love to visit during those lazy weekends. 

1. Miss Ellie Tea House @Taman Melawati  (ww.missellieteahouse.com)
This cafe is a hidden gem. Located deep in Melawati, it only takes me 7 mins of jog to reach the cafe from my home. The cafe was owned by Peter ex-secondary school mate, who happens to be a pastry chef. The place is quite serene and the whole ambiance spells homey. The menu is simple and straightforward, but the highlight is definitely the great range of freshly baked cakes and dessert. We had both lunch and high tea at the place before, while the lunch were pretty much standard, the deserts were to die for.

Bangers & mash - grilled chicken sausage, caramelized onion gravy, buttered mash & house salad

Australian beef casserole, buttered mash, vegetables & fresh bread roll

 Panna cotta, creme brule, chocolate fudge cupcakes

And the English Scones, comes with spread of  strawberry jam and fresh cream, which is super good!

2.  That Latte Place@Ampang Hilir
That Latte Place is a modest cafe with the simplest setting yet offers one of the best coffee in town. The al-fresco style cafe is just 10 mins away from KLCC, yet its well shielded from the hustle and bustle of the city. Surrounded by the greens, this is the place where I have discovered my favourite drink - Hazzelnut Milk. 

The open kitchen, where you can see the chefs busy in action 

Cafe latte, hazelnut milk (foamy and yummy!)

We had the egg benedict and the big breakfast the last time we were there. The big breakfast was alright, but the egg benedict is perfect! perfect soft bun, perfect poached eggs and perfect hollandaise sauce. I love to see how the runny egg yolk oozing into the bread, and subsequent into my mouth. ;)


3. Coffee Societe @ Publika, Solaris Dutamas
Peter and I stumbled across this place quite sometimes ago after a scrumptious dinner at Publika. We were walking around looking for a place for a cup of coffee before ending the night, with its hefty looking wooden benches, tables and even wall, coffee Societe looks absolutely welcoming at night. 


We didnt have the chance to try out other stuff on the menu as both time we were there after dinner. The coffee was pretty good, rich and flavourful. One good thing for the coffee lovers is that Coffee Sociate is serving free flow coffee (anything from espresso, mocha to latte) every Friday and Saturday from 6pm to late for only RM 10. But again, there is only so much you can take before coffee overdoes.

Anyway, any coffee lover like to join me for a cuppa?
