Baked coffee cheesecake, anybody?
A close friend asked for the recipe for a baked cheesecake recently. She wanted to bake one for her husband to be. I ‘small small sound’ tell her, buy onelar, easier. She laughed it off and said, no, I want to make one for him. Here’s the response to her request. Actually, baking a cheesecake…

Good cup of tea is easy. Follow me.
My friend said, BOH / Lipton tea sold in Malaysia is not good. She needed two packs in order to get sufficient flavour for one cup. I actually agree with her. Well, until one weekend when I stumbled upon an article telling everyone how best to make a good cup of tea, from tea bags.…

Old town white coffee, the chains
If you know the history of white coffee, you would realise that there were no penang white coffee, melaka white coffee or even petaling street white coffee and definitely no nescafe white coffee. To me white coffee originated from ipoh and the best white coffee will always be Ipoh. Whatever taste you may come up…

Vietnam Kitchen – One Utama
I was here a few months ago with my wife and I am here today with my in-laws. Today instead of set we took aka-carte. The highlight for me was of course to try their Vietnamese coffee. Any Vietnamese restaurant which does not serve good Vietnamese coffee, please… do not call yourself Vietnamese coffee. So,…

Kay’s Cafe at Tropicana Mall
I have been here twice. First time alone and second time with family. I do like the environment and the waiters are also well dressed. In terms of menu you have both eastern or western dishes and a lot of coffee choices. This includes latte. The latte is really average. Arabica aroma is missing and…

Plan B, Ipoh.
Ipoh has been known as the white coffee city. The quality of every coffee shop serving white coffee is above average, just like if you sell laksa in Penang, it is unlikely that the laksa tastes bad. Or you may go out of business real soon. However, these days you can easily find a lot…

Hainan Tea cafe
If there is a cafe with a good hainanese coffee but the food is so-so, would you visit? Chances are no. Today I visited a good cafe with hainanese iced coffee called Hainan tea. I also ordered its Nasi lemak rendang chicken. The gravy was really delicious. I enjoyed both tremendously. The shop is in…

Latte at Kay’s (Tropicana Mall)
Presentation is above average. I like the glass accompanying the latte. In terms of taste however, I think it’s too bland. The coffee somehow does not show itself and the milk is somehow not milky enough for my taste. Overall, it’s just a very normal glass of latte. Rating: 5/10, propped up slightly by its…
