Malaysia Truly Asia ๐ฒ๐พ
It's been years since my last visit to @vcrlovesyou Bangsar where I fell in love with their ๐พ๐๐๐๐จ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ง and ๐พ๐ค๐๐๐๐ โ, and this time upon my return to KL, I decided to indulge in the ๐๐ง๐ช๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ง๐๐ข๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฃ for brunch at the Galloway branch!
I was surprised at how delicious the house made ๐๐๐ก๐ข๐ค๐ฃ ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐๐ was, delightfully plump and tender, but not overly salty like the usual processed ones that you'd get at the supermarket.
Paired with creamy ๐๐๐ง๐๐ข๐๐ก๐๐ ๐๐๐๐จ ๐ฃ on crispy ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ค๐ช๐ง๐๐ค๐ช๐๐ ๐๐ค๐๐จ๐ฉ ๐, the portion of ๐๐ง๐ช๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ก could have been more generous as it was pretty faint, but what blew me away was the combination of mildly sharp ๐๐๐ง๐ข๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ค-๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ค ๐ง shavings and ๐๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ฅ ๐พ๐๐๐ก๐ก๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ ๐๐จ ๐ฆ๐ถ๏ธ which gave the dish that little kick of spice and flavour.
Washed down with a cup of nutty and well rounded ๐๐ก๐๐ฉ ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐ โ and well taken care of by the friendly staff with their exceptional service, it's not hard to see why VCR is one of the leading cafes in the area. ๐ฅฐโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธ
Warm and fluffy Otak-Otak buns ๐ fresh out from the traditional wood-fired oven, these babies took us by surprise with the amount of generous fillings in every bite. ๐๐ฒ๐พ
Stock was running low when we arrived around 11am on a Saturday morning, so we were pretty lucky to snag these together with 2 boxes of their famous banana bread! ๐๐ (Will review that later ๐๐ป)
The buns had a nice springy texture, which put them at a level wayyyy above commercially made bread. ๐ Old school food made the traditional way always tastes the best, don't you agree? โ๐ปโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ

Winding down the week with my fave Kurobuta Shabu Shabu ๐ฅ๐, sooooo yummy and affordable for my wallet! ๐๐๐๐
The black pork is definitely the dish that makes me return again and again for more, tender slices of juicy goodness dipped in sweet and savoury sukiyaki sauce warms my heart and soul! โค๏ธ Don't bother with the pork cheek though, it came frozen and super tough... A little disappointed with that..
Still, Arashi offers one of the best value for money hotpots across the causeway, and I'm definitely coming back for more! ๐๐โ๐ป
While everyone was queueing for the free #้ฟๅฌท่ๅญ่ castella cake ๐ฅ๐ฐin SG, we went straight to their origins in Malaysia! ๐ฒ๐พ
Soooooo soooooo moist and soooooo fluffy!!!! ๐ฑโค๏ธ Much better than the dried out cake from Le Castella that we had previously. ๐
The Original #้ธก่็ณ (RM13) was deliciously eggy and melt-in-our-mouth, and everyone including the elders were raving about it! ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป So we went back the next day and bought more! Also got the Cheese flavour (RM15) to try, will review that once we get back to SG with our loots! ๐ฌ๐ง๐ง๐ง
The Original won hands down! ๐โค๏ธ I personally loved the premium cheese crepe, but everyone found it too strong for their liking~ Or maybe I'm just a cheese addict! Hahahaha... ๐ง๐ง๐ง๐
(((o(*๏พโฝ๏พ*)o)))โก Dim Sum is never complete without my traditional Chee Cheong Fun, Egg Tarts and Lava Bao!!! Nom nom noms!!! .

Hands down one of the best Char Koay Teow in Penang! Ask for the duck egg ๐ฅversion for more flavour! ๐๐ป๐๐๐๐

๐ง ๐ This #hokkaidocheesetart pretty much hit the spot with a wobbly centre and savoury crust which crumbled perfectly with a crunch. ๐โค๏ธ Baked slightly rarer than #bakecheesetart but I really liked the silky texture!

Retails at RM29 for a box of 6 in MY ๐ฒ๐พ(no queue!), and $14.90 for a box of 6 in SG๐ธ๐ฌ. ๐ฌ๐ง๐ง๐ง

๐๐ง You're very welcome. ๐คค๐
I actually liked this rare version better than Pablo's, value for $ too!
๐น๐ญ๐๐ Slightly regret ordering 2 cups, cos this was a hugeeeeeee cup and it was good, but just wasn't as yummy as I had hoped. ๐

้ฟ่๐ฏ personally buys the ingredients for his Char Koay Teow from the market every single day, de shells the prawns and preps everything by hand.
