Plan B – Bangsar Village I – the menu, the food, the DESSERTS!

UPDATED Post here: A few more visits – Eggs Benjamin, Nasi Lemak, Pasta & Lamb meatballs! 😉

Say helloooooo to Plan B!

Under the same management as Canoodling in BV II, ( I was informed by Aja, the Brand Comm Mgr that Canoodling has recently gone through a change of menu as well) Plan B looks set to be another iconic F & B outlet in Bangsar.

For a start, it certainly has all the makings of a successful one. Plan B offers a straightforward menu with firm favourites such as American breakfast sets, varieties of pasta, healthy salads & now, who wouldn’t fall in love with such desserts on display?

Left: Choc Banana Charlotte – RM11. Middle from back: Almond Toffee Bar – RM4. Caramel Bar – RM5. Rocky Road – RM4. Right: Mixed Berry Tart  -RM5.

Starbucks Malaysia – More food choices on its new menu!

Starbucks has got new food options on its menu! :yahoo:

I’m not fond of chain- cafes food; but most unfortunately, more often than not, (*frown*) I find myself in Starbucks for business meetings too many times a week for my liking.

Yet we can’t deny that Starbucks is an ideal meeting point. Easily recognisable, available everywhere & most importantly, there is FREE WIFI provided for convenient browsing.

Coincidentally, the Christmas season is upon us, and hence the Christmas Toffee Nut Latte and Peppermint Mocha made their appearances again. Overall feedback on the Toffee Nut Latte was “too sweet” while the the Peppermint Mocha was highly recommended from those who have tried it. Myself sipped the Mango Passion for the 1st time & immediately got hooked as it was not too sweet or sour. Very refreshing  & easy to drink.

My chosen starter: Tuna Tartare in (Mille Feuille), Pistachio & Sesame Seeds, mustard cream, RM25. I have weakness for anything that’s labelled “tartare” 😉 and this was a superb choice!

2nd round! Nathalie’s Gourmet Studio – Oct (2010) Menu !

For previous posting and an idea of Nathalie’s specialties:

June & July’s menu is HERE..
** August Menu HERE..plus..
** September Menu: HERE, and latest post –
October Menu: HERE.

Like I have predicted in my previous post, I’ll be back for more of the Oct’s menu & here I am 😉

Truth to be told, I have lost the inspiration to blog. Words failed to come, the enthusiastism has died & I have stopped all discussions with my programmer for my blog revamp. I have put in a lot into this blog, and would prefer to keep it going. It used to be my source of comfort. After 4 days of not logging in my wordpress to edit/start a new post, I realized I actually didn’t give a damn anymore.

For now, I will keep descriptions short & simple & share photos instead. Generally that’s not my style; but it takes inspiration & happiness within to spin a story, both of which I’m devoid of now. I hope in time things will be different. Currently, the prior commitments I have made to PR companies, projects undertaken with promise of a blog post & those half written drafts in my archives are actually the drive factor for me to blog.  In a way I’m thankful, I guess. ..half-hearted articles or complete halt; I’m not sure which is worse.

Nathalie’s Gourmet Studio – Oct (2010) Menu !

And surprise surprise… I’m back for my Oct month fix of French fusion cuisine here at Nathalie’s.
Hehe, that’s expected isn’t it, since I’ve been back every month once or twice at least. 😉

The routine is now familiar; the crusty bread with the lovely creamy butter starts off the meal.

By now, each visit to Nathalie’s has become an anticipated culinary lesson for my partner and I. We started off with numerous photo shots to immortalize the visual feast, then moving on to dissect the dish as we start our private little quiz figuring out the ingredients. This is followed by a test of the tastebuds as we savour each bite and each component on the dish, appreciating the play of flavours & textures working in harmony in each one.

Now, who says eating can’t be educationally fun? 😉

Roasted Pineapple Tart, Exotic Fruit Sorbet RM19 was the last dish but it is so pretty that I just had to begin my post today with it.
