Cafes In Mont Kiara & Sri Hartamas

Went to the one at Mont Kiara on a Friday night. Ends up more than half of the seats were reserved but since TGIF, it's quite lucky that we still manage to get ourselves a seat. Salmon Don (RM25) serves with fresh salmons. Although the place have a lot of good reputation on the food but the service is kinda slow. And also, probably due to they have to serve large group of people, the food seems like so so.

Warawara by 88 Kimbab is one of the new Korean restaurant in Solaris Mont Kiara. It's been open for business like almost half year so decided to give it a try. Cheese Dongaseu (RM23) is chicken cutlets with cheese. Although it is a korean dish but it does taste like chicken katsu to me. Portion is slightly not enough to me. Ugeoji-galbi-tang (RM23) is more worth in terms of portion. It's actually cabbage and short rib soup. Strong flavour of short rib with the sweetness of cabbages, serve with thick soup and rice. Quite spicy but taste is so good. You should try this if spicy food is your thing. Their Sikhye (sweet rice punch) is RM5, another choice for you to have it. They also serve green tea, can drinks like Korea ice coffee, grape juice and orange juice. Was full house during my visit. Recommend to come earlier for better seat.

Dish in frame, Antipasto Di Mare (RM110) is actually a three tier seafood platter that serve with lobsters, oysters, mussels, soft shell crab, baby octopus, fish fillets and tiger prawns. It's a portion that sufficient enough for two person. They claim that this is one of their best seller and some of them even order this as main dish. However, I believe that it might not filling enough for guys. If you are fans of Italian cuisine, should try their Risotto Pollo Funghi (RM44). It might not as photogenic as it could be, but the carnaroli rice is very well cook with the mushrooms and Parmesan cheese. The texture of the risotto is a little bit hard like uncooked, the taste however is the main factor that adding a lot of points of it. One of my favourite dish.

If you are one of the regular customer of LewisGene, then you'll know the differences between morning and night. At morning, it's a peaceful cafe with all the sunlights that allows you to take nice photo and have some sunbath. They are famous with their mocha latte art but surprisingly there are not much people that know about they actually serving very good full English breakfast. Breakfast platter (RM19.90) serve with the choice of sausage (lamb or beef), sunny side up eggs, garlic breads, baked beans and salads. I believe that the portion is more than enough as it is very satisfying, especially their garlic toast, crispy in terms of textures. Was ordered lamb sausage and it is surprisingly good. Their cappuccino (RM12.90) slightly expensive, normal cup of coffee. Love their cups. One of my favourite morning spot for breakfast.

It's been awhile since the cafe opened and still I heard their food is very consistent. Their fried lemongrass chicken poppers rice bowl (RM18.50) served with cabbage slaw and steamed rice come with miso radish soup. The lemongrass chicken is nicely cook, crispy outside but the meat inside is not exactly dried up. Was thought their miso radish soup is like those normal radish soup but this is good. You won't feel thirsty after drinking it tho. Their Moo Moo Rice Bowl (RM19) is a hearty bowl of basil beef with chili padi served over rice and topped with onsen egg and garlic chips, which also come with a miso radish soup. The beef is very tender, but the sauce might not accepted by everyone. Although I'm feel okay but friend of mine was feeling weird. And the spiciness of the dish, from the rate of 0-10, guess it is level 1 of spiciness. It's kinda like order at your own risk but can't denied that their beef is really fresh and good. As for the parking, try to park at the legal place as the officer around that area is quite hardworking to go around.

Among all of the cafes that opened within this few years, Podgy actually doing quite well around the neighborhood. The cafe always full house early in the morning, guess most of the people know that they are serving good food and coffee. Their French toast (RM15) with Nutella with banana and strawberries on top is one of my favourite. Not too heavy to start a day, portion might be not enough but for a normal girl I think it should be just fine. Scrambled Eggs (RM15) with salmon on toast, some mushrooms and tomatoes. Simple and nice. Their coffee is legit one. Definitely a good cuppa for you to start the day. A good place for you to get your works done. Wifi is provided and there are plenty of plugs.

It is another Acái Bowl place around Mont Kiara and the thing that makes it difference with the other Acái Bowl place is their ingredients are mostly homemade, such as their granola and peanut butter. The Acái bowl come in 2 sizes, which is RM15.90 for small and RM21.90 for big size. Currently they are serving only three flavour for Acái Bowl. In frame: Rio Bowl. It is blended acái base with bananas, apple juice, strawberry, Acái Lab's homemade granola and honey. For the fitness people that looks for recharge, Muscle Up Bowl is definitely your choice. It is blended acái base with bananas, chocolate protein whey, coconut water, grapes, chia seeds and Acái lab's homemade peanut butter. The last one will be Harimau Malaysia Bowl, which is blended acái base with bananas, mangoes, vanilla ice cream, dragon fruit and Acai's Lab's homemade granola. Suggest to finish it while it still cold. If you are looking for not-so-common kinda Acái Bowl, Muscle Up Bowl should be suit your preference since their homemade peanut butter is quite suit my preference although I'm not a fans of peanut butter. Moreover, they also serve acái smoothies. Currently they share their shop with Brazil Fitness. The place is quite small, might not suitable for chilling a long time.

Food in frame: Cempedak Spring Roll with vanilla ice cream (RM15). The Spring roll is very crispy yet delicious. Plus the vanilla ice cream is kinda match with the spring roll. Love the interior design of the shop.
