Food: 5.1 Cafe Gallery @ Sri Petaling, Kuala Lumpur

Recently,  I realised that Sri Petaling had been gaining popularity for cafes and restaurants owner mainly for its strategic location south to the city centre of Kuala Lumpur near Happy Garden, Kuchai Lama and Bukit Jalil. This place became popular also due to the few nearby Universities namely International Medical University(IMU) and Asia Pacific Institute of Information Technology (APIIT).

As a student of IMU myself, Sri Petaling had been my place to hangout with my friends during breaks and free time. My friends and I decided to drop by this little cafe located right above "Tanjung Sepat Snack Shop". 

This cafe gave me a very homey and a comfy feel to it where I can chill and relax from my hectic University schedule. Decorations here are best for those of you who likes photography and to update your instagram account! :)

Some of the cute decorations which I found on the wall of the cafe. 

Here's some of the MAINS that we had during the dinner session!

Tortilla Chicken

[RECOMMENDED!!!]

RM15.90

This platter of tasty-chunky deboned chicken thigh is well marinated and fried to perfection before being drizzled with black pepper sauce wrapped with tortilla wrap. I particularly love the generosity in this plate of goodness! This is one of my personal recommendation to you when you drop by!!!

Followed by pizzas, we have this 5.1 tortilla pizzas priced at RM12.90. I find this pretty unique as you'll get tortilla chips as the base of the pizza rather than the usual dough. However, this pizza should be eaten fresh out from the moment it is serve to you! Otherwise, the tortilla chips beneath it will turn soggy.

Sausage Tortilla Pizza

RM12.90

Sensational Bites

RM12.90

For those of you who loves sausage, this might just be the plate you'll enjoy! For a complete meal, this plate consist of cheese, chicken ham, crab roll, lettuce, and not forgetting the premium sausages that topped it off too! :)

Desserts

It's finally time for dessert! There will always be space for dessert no matter how filled our tummy is :)

Crispy Crunch Banana

RM12.90

Chocolate, banana, vanilla ice cream and strawberry always goes well together! One of the best dessert served here at 5.1 Cafe Gallery! Worth the try!

Last but not least, how can we not try their coffee when we are already here! Here's some of their signature drinks served here!

Rose Latte

I like the latte art made here at 5.1 Cafe Gallery! So creatively cute! A sleeping cat dreaming of a fish on a cup of rose infused cup of latte. 

Mocha

Picture of a robot on a cup of Mocha. This cuppa could easily be one of the best Mocha I've ever had. Perfect combination of chocolate, coffee and milk in this cup!

Matcha Latte

This is the end of my post on 5.1  Cafe Gallery. The ambience and surrounding here gives a very comfortable feel to its patrons to chill, relax, unwind with a good book over the weekend. Food and drinks here are not too bad unlike the usual cafe food that you find in other cafes.

LIVE: The rain party @ LUNA BAR

 I was invited to the glamorous Luna Bar located at Pacific Regency Hotel recently to experience the exclusive RAIN PARTY!

My friends and I was already there at 10pm and we were greeted and had a warm welcome from them. Since, it was my first time here, I took this rare opportunity to have a glimpse of the place on my own. Here's some pics I took that night, 

Some place for you to chill with your loved ones!

To me, a rooftop bar has always been a MUST GO place to end a "first date" with a perfect night scene! Luna Bar has definitely won my heart and whats better with KL Tower just behind!

Such close proximity to KL Tower

Everything is ready for the party that night!

Are you excited too looking at those pictures? My friends and I enjoyed ourselves so much that night and had the time of our lives! (ALMOST! HAHA!) Looking forward to the next party soon!

FOOD: La Cafe Memoire @ Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI), Kuala Lumpur

Some fun facts about ME:

I have always love desserts and always on the lookout for new and good dessert spots around. 

Last weekend, my foodie peeps and I was invited for a review with La Cafe Memoire @ TTDI, Kuala Lumpur. I was curious and anticipating to what this cafe has got. Just by the name of this cafe, I was already imagining that this would be a cafe with a romantic and comfortable place to hangout with my friends and family! 

Did the place met or matches with what I thought it would be? Please let the pictures below do the talking and you judge! HAHA!

As you can see from the picture above, La Cafe Memoire has a very distinctive wooden furnishing which are made up of recycled crates. The owner/mastermind Brian Liew and his partner has brought out the creative initiation in them to plan and to redesign these into functional tables and chairs/stools.  

 Some of the antique decorations around the place

La Cafe Memoire has started out as dessert specialty cafe which only serves coffee and desserts. However, due to popular demand for savoury food, it has recently introduce a couple of dishes which my foodies and I had the opportunity to review 

Here's some of the food that we had,

Smoked Duck Salad 

This dish consist of cucumber, lettuce, cherries tomatoes, oranges, and of course not forgetting the fragrantly pan fried smoked duck drizzled over with some special balsamic vinegar and olive oil which gives it's slight sourish taste to it. A refreshing dish to prepare you tummy for dinner!

 Seafood Aglio-Olio

 ( Spaghetti - RM15 / Handmade Fettuccini - RM18)

A rather spicy (I love it!) dish due to the chilli flakes added to it. It is cooked with a range of fresh seafoods like mussels, prawns, squids, and some capsicum.

 Japanese Curry Fettuccini (RM17.50)

I personally love this La Cafe Memoire version of Japanese Curry pasta as its 'drier' and not too much gravy in it. It is cooked with diced chicken, chopped carrots and onions. We were also told that the chef added a small amount of brandy to this which brings out the unique flavour! Try it and you'll know what I meant.

Creamy Bacon Pasta (RM14)

Homemade daily Fettuccini cooked with pan fried bacon and drizzled with creamy mushroom garlic sauce which compliments so well!

Signature Pork Chop 

This dish is marinated with special mongolian sauce before frying. Served with a generous portion of mashed below for a complete and satisfy meal! 

 Deluxe Burger (RM18.50)

Homemade deluxe pork patty, pan fried bacon, sunny side up, salad, tomatoes slices, and cheese wrapped with either charcoal or plain buns of your choice! On a side note, the fries here are air-fried which means no oils is used and most importantly, it's healthier!   

 Mussels and fries

La Cafe Memoire will also be introducing some new food/items in the coming month! We had the opportunity to review one of it which is the Pork Bacon Pizza! Do check out this place soon!

 Pork Bacon Pizza

Made from Napoli dough which has a similar texture to 'naan'. This dough is chewier on the side which will give you the extra bites that you've been craving for! Consist of pork bacon, onions, cherry tomatoes, sprinkled with cheddar and mozzarella cheese topped with a slight chilli flakes to add some kick to this dish!

To end our session, of course it will be a must to have some desserts. Here's some of it that we had,

 Mango Coconut Tart

This in-house made flower-looking decorated mango tart with its base using butter tart for some extra bites, filled with cream and topped with sliced mango 'susu' and coconut bits. For those mango lovers, this might just be the desserts you've been looking for!    

 Tiramisu ( MUST TRY!!!!)

Homemade tiramisu topped with almonds, hazelnuts and caramelized nuts which gives salty and nutty feel to this dessert. You'll fall in love with it right from the first bite! 

 Nutty Bacon Sundae ( MUST TRY!!!)

A rather unique dessert i've ever tried! Bacon with ice cream? Are you serious? 

Trust me! These bacons compliments tremendously well! Consist of vanilla ice cream that can fix your sweet tooth, bacon strip and caramel sauce which gives you the salty element in this. This perfect blend of sweet and salty will make you crave for more in no time!

As you "approach" towards the bottom of the glass, you will find some sour calamansi sorbet that will give your taste buds a whole new experience! 

Last but not least, I've also managed to try the Cafe Alexzander!

Cafe Alexzander

Consists of Double espresso, cacao brown, and hazelnut syrup served cold. I find this bitter-sweet blend very unique where I can find no where else.

Great FOOD Great AMBIANCE! With mandarin-language pop songs playing in the background, I would definitely recommend/suggest this place for any future family and friends gatherings. Finally, a very special thanks to La Cafe Memoire for hosting such "yummy-licious" session to us!
