#Food: Solomen Cafe @ SS2

Recently while I was around SS2, I stumbled upon a little cafe - Solomen Cafe which is cozy, comfy and just the right place for me to work (sorry I did not take picture of the surrounding at the cafe!). Not only that, this brightly lit and quiet cafe is also great with their food! This in fact is the first cafe that I've known off that serves Ramen as their mains in their menu which is pretty unique! Great for those ramen lovers out there :) 

Sides

Gyoza - 6 pieces

RM11.90

Chicken Karaage - 3 pieces

RM14.50

I personally love this chicken Karaage a lot! It's fried to perfection while retaining the moist of the chicken inside. For the price, its very worth it for the portion. 

Tonkatsu Pork Chop

RM20.90

Ramen

Kimchi Ramen

RM19.90

One of the highlight during my time here would be this bowl of Kimchi Ramen! It's one of the best kimchi ramen I have ever had so far. A great blend of sour and spicy together with the flavorful hot broth is just perfect on a rainy day.

Negi Miso Ramen

RM20.90

Tenshimen
RM16.90

Rice bowl

Katsudon

RM22.90

Hokkaido Butadon

Rm22.90

If you're a rice person, I would recommend this Hokkaido Butadon. I truly love this bowl of well marinated pork slices topped with chopped onions which give the crunch when you bite. Despite the price, it's worth trying.

Desserts 

Cempedak Lover 

RM13.90

To those cempedak lovers like me, this would be the slice you'd definitely come back for where generous chunk of cempedak in between the layers of the cake best accompanied with a cup of coffee to wash it down :)

THE MORNING AFTER TAKES FLIGHT AT SKYPARK TERMINAL

Coffee-lovers, foodies and travellers, can now enjoy a wide range of delicious food and a signature coffee blend at The Morning After, the latest introduction to SkyPark Terminal. The outlet that aims to ‘brings sexy back’ to coffee with its unique combination of steel and wood elements, was launched on the 2^nd of January 2017 and has become a popular choice for passengers thanks to its growing notoriety across the country.

 

Inspired by the all-day brunch dining parlours of Melbourne, Australia, The Morning After continues to expand, and in its third year, has 7 outlets across Klang Valley and the Northern Region. A major contribution to this growth is the support that The Morning After receives from its parent company, Rhombus Group, a Malaysian food and beverage company that has over 19 brands under its label.  

Now that the brand has established its presence in Malaysia, The Morning After looks to spread its wings. With its signature blend of Brazilian and Indian coffee beans, the gourmet espresso bar is in the midst of taking its house blend of coffee to the international caffeine scene via export, and setting up outlets in Taiwan, Myanmar, China, and Bangladesh.

 

Those eager to give their brand of coffee a try and explore their expansive menu that includes pastas, gourmet burgers, rice dishes, and other mouthwatering dishes, can do so at SkyPark Terminal, Ativo Plaza, T6 Light Grey Mall, M Roof, Penang International Airport, Damansara Utama (Coffee Bar), and MERCU Summit Suites.

Cranberry Cheese

RM3.60 

This was the best i had here! As a cheese lover myself, I personally likes this a lot as it has a very rich & "cheesy" taste from the cream cheese inside. The cranberry was a perfect compliment to the cream cheese. Besides, the inside is really fluffy and soft too!

 Butter Croissant

RM3.80

A crispy piece of croissant. However, I would personally prefer it to be more buttery. The texture and the crispy-ness of it was perfect!

 Mini Pizza

RM5.90

Spring Lady

RM3.80

As the name suggest, this has a lot of spring onions which gives the aroma to this bread. Filled with also mayonnaise and cheese!

 Amazing Chestnut

RM3.80

Fruity Red Bean Banana

RM2.80

Caramelized Apple Bun

RM3.40

I personally likes this bun a lot for its filled with raisins and apple fillings at the same time not overpowering the fragrant smell from the freshly baked caramelized sugar.

It has always been a great idea to gushes down pastries with a cup of coffee :)

Here at Haru Japanese Bakery Cafe, they also do serve pasta for those pasta lovers!

Wafu Mentai Spaghetti

However, personally, I do not really favor the pastas served here as they are a tad bit too hard to my liking. But hey! it's again very individualistic :) 

Squid Ink Pasta
RM16.80

Aglio-olio pasta

RM13.80

Carbonara Spaghetti

RM14.80

Haru Omelette Brekkie

Next but not least, the HIGHLIGHT of the night! May I present to you
Haru Shibuya Dessert Toast!

Go Banana

RM 15.50

Served with Crispy Haru Toast topped with chantilly pastry cream, vanilla ice cream, banana & lastly drizzled over with chocolate sauce. This is a great dessert for those who loves chocolate and banana! By the way, chocolate and banana almost always goes along very well! I particularly like the chantilly cream served as it combines and compliments the dessert very well without being too sweet.

Mary Berry

RM 18.50

This is the most popular dessert here at Haru Japanese Bakery Cafe, it is served with crispy Haru Toast topped with chantilly pastry cream, vanilla ice cream, generous portion of mixed berries and rasberries! The Haru toast here has a very fragrant buttery aroma to it which gives the dessert something "extra" compared to others in the market ( no names shall be mentioned :) ) However, I personally feels that perhaps a scoop of strawberry ice cream would make this dessert even better!

Hary Japanese Bakery Cafe serves one of the most affordable yet tasty buns & breads I've discovered. A great place to hangout and chill with family and friends! I will definitely suggest to come back again for the pastries and desserts!

Till next time, See you!
