Cheesecake.
Plain, flavoured, baked or chilled, everyone I know enjoys a good cheesecake every now and then.

There was once the craze for jiggly, soft Japanese cheesecake. Now it seems that the spike of interest is centred around the burnt cheesecake, an adaption of sorts (or copy) from the famous version at La Vina, a tapas bar in San Sebastian, Spain. Many had proclaimed it to be the best cheesecake ever.

I’m super particular about my cheesecake, so much so that I’ve enjoyed very few cheesecakes in KL.

The queue at this Taiwan Original Cake in Sunway Velocity was all over social media for the past few weeks.

That also meant an infinite stream of opinions on whether the queue is justified and if the cake is nice.

Recently I’ve been obsessed with Thai Tea and Thai Green Tea.

Now, if you haven’t tried both Thai teas, you’re missing out!
Both possess such unique aroma and taste that the flavour will linger on the palate and your mind.

Nasi lemak cake could be more of a challenge after nasi lemak sushi and nasi lemak maki roll.

After all, it’s main component isn’t rice.

The folks over at Lepaq Lepaq attempted it anyways, and crazily enough decided to use cheese as its main component.

My breakfast one Saturday at Nara Kitchen was satisfying, so much so that I thought it warranted a return visit, which I promptly made very next day.

There are few, if any outlet that are able to please a diner with every dish on the menu.
Hence the variety in the menu, and even then it could be a play of luck for one to order the exact dish that you will enjoy.

Koru Cafe, Empire Damansara – New Zealand inspired cafe

Let’s began today’s cafe post with a little bit of background of the cafe’s name; Koru.

At first Koru sounded to me like a name picked out on whim for its simplicity and ease of pronunciation, or perhaps because it sounded cute.

But no, Koru means “loop” in Māori and this loop refers to the spiral shape based on the contour of a new unfurling silver fern frond.
It is an integral symbol in Māori art, carving and tattoos and symbolizes new life, growth, strength and peace.

Surprised?
Well, I was too.

Spot the koru? 🙂

Awesome Canteen, Paramount PJ – paleo, gluten free dining option

When I first visited Awesome Canteen when they opened years back I wasn’t impressed with the food nor the hype surrounding its paleo burger.
But it is the first outlet that markets this as one of its main menu items, resulting in paleo and non-paleo eaters ordering it more out of curiosity than anything else (or so I think).

Reviews of its food was mixed since, but it has undisputedly garnered its legion of fans over the years, as seen from the brand’s expansion to Penang while the Paramount outlet is steadily welcoming customers, both old and new.
They made next door Prologue, its porky sister Japanese restaurant offering bentos and ramen.
So yes, Awesome Canteen has continued being awesome for their fans!
