Bear Paw @ Kota Damansara

Midnight craving much? Raining heavily and we had to cross the street to Bear Paw. Was in my flip flops and not heels my legs got all wet. Sometimes wearing heels does have its perks, its higher than the water level :D We entered the restaurant shivering and wet from head to toe.

Brown sugar bun with Squid & Tartar sauce ~ Does not taste like squid, more like fish nugget but less fish. Nothing special i only like the bun it's so cute; can't bare to eat it. Imagine if its Hello Kitty i think ill frame it up.

Hello Paw :)

Brown sugar bun with Spicy Chicken & Honey Mustard sauce ~ Dan was busy chomping on the burger, i suppose that means its nice. He did said they gave too little sauce.

Winter Lover @ The Strand, Kota Damansara

Fresh Flower Series ~ Not bad but I still prefer Chamomile.

Rasberry Yogurt Mille Crepe & Green Tea Macaroon ~ WJ liked the cake, macaroon is not bad but a little too sweet.

A snapshot before we dig in :)

   Trio Chocolate Mille Crepe & Iris Chocolate Macaroon ~ I love this, not sweet at all; though consist of dark chocolate i did not taste any bitterness; texture of cake is firm. Just perfect! Macaroon is good also.

Living Social is having an offer currently: RM 12 for RM 20 worth of pastries or at RM 20 for RM 40 worth. We bought the RM 20, which is not enough; we exceeded the amount but it was worth it. I think the voucher is still selling. Get it and have a go in Winter Lover for half the price.

Coffee Famille @ Sunsuria Avenue

Not to worry although Sunsuria sounds like it's located on some distant planet it's actually in Kota Damansara. You can see Tune Hotels right opposite of Giza, Sunsuria is where Tune Hotels is. You need to go through the booth and park, unfortunately I have not figure out where the basement parking is, so I parked outside the Club. I waited for the security to walk past; parked and ran. I don't want to risk him stopping me from parking and giving me the lecture of this is jockey for club members, bla bla blaaaa... 

I was sitting inside, the waiter / owner i think didn't take my order so I walked right to the counter and sat right in front of him, he can't ignore me now can he. Unfortunately for me, 2 people who came in sat at my table, I can't be rude and say get lost I came first. I didn't actually leave my stuff there. So I sat outside, yes you heard me "outside" in the humid weather. Thankfully it was windy, so I didn't really felt hot. I was watching the doggies downstairs running here and there. Looking at them makes me want to have my own pet, they definitely would be able to keep me sane. Sighz mimi hate pets, she warned me no pets allowed or me OUT OF THE HOUSE together with the pet. 

  Hot Chocolate ~ I could barely taste the chocolate, very very very light taste of chocolate. I was wondering was I drinking milk with sprinkled chocolate powder? What a waste of money, sheeshhh!

  Tiramisu ~ This was more of a sponge cake than the normal tiramisu with mousse.  The cheese in it was rather sour and left an odd taste in my mouth. I can't say i like it one bit. Total bill cost me RM 22, I felt rather cheated at the end of the meal. I am most certainly not coming back here ever again.

De' Amour Cafe @ Kota Damansara

I drove pass this cute cafe and saw lots of flowers outside, that only means one thing. Its new! I came back another day just to give it a try.

    I appreciate when one of the owner came over and offered to close the curtains for my privacy. Though it doesn't cover much but it's the thought that counts.

  Mocha ~ Coffee overpowered the chocolate, I asked for milk to counteract the coffee. J&D Espresso makes very good mocha.

  Creamy Pumpkin Soup ~ Not creamy enough but not a bad attempt; the soup could use a little more cream and pumpkin. I like the bread especially when I dip it in the soup. The pumpkin soup in PH Pastry is superb.

  Eggs Benedict ~ The only thing nice is the ham but ham is always good regardless. Egg was tasteless, so it wasn't helpful that the yolk was all over my bread. I never like yolk except with sambal belacan. 

Tiramisu Mille Crepe ~ Not bad but since Ive tried mille crepe at Vanilla Mille Crepe, Paradigm and Winter Lover, Kota Damansara this mille crepe could do with a lil boost in size, outer layer of the cake is a lil rough and not rich enough.

     French Milk Mille Crepe ~ Not too bad; size of the cake, texture and richness could use improvement too.

   I was sitting the normal table till I saw this adorable spot then I switched place. See the plain water on the table, after I left I realize they charged me RM 2 for that. OMG!! Seriously ! If I know I would have refill 50x and ta pao it home. The air ventilation at this spot was not very good, I was sweating. If they can make this area cooler that would be great.

For those who doubt me saying that the shop charged me for the water, here is the proof. 

The owner was polite enough to come over while handing the bill, asked how was the meal. In my mind "Hmm you shouldn't have ask me, now I would have to tell the truth and risk you poisoning me the next time I come". I said sure I'll tell you once you bring my change. HEHE "Better take my money, after I open my mouth he might not want to return my change, HAHA Kidding"....

I explain to him from the drink to the sandwich what was wrong with it and how he could improve. I didn't tell him about the cakes and the air-con ventilation as I felt that he has enough from me already. I bet he regrets asking me now :) I told him I like the concept of his cafe if he could improve on the food i am sure that his cafe will stand out.

I know that it is not easy to open a restaurant or cafe. I can easily comment but I could also easily just make all the same mistakes if I open one. I think good reviews and bad reviews are what separates the average, bad, and excellent restaurant. If reviews are not important that would mean all restaurants are equally good or equally bad. You can either take my review as a challenge to improve yourself or you can treat my review as crap. I'm fine with both.

Dr Cafe Coffee @ The Strand, Kota Damansara

Dr. Cafe is an imitation of Starbucks, lets see if it is as good as Starbucks or just as bad.

  Caramel Coffee Mocha ~ I asked for coffee art and he used honey to draw a few lines. Typical! I didnt like the mocha, caramel was too sweet and coffee was too strong. Added two cups of milk and yet still not able to neutralize the bitter taste. At least Starbucks Caramel Machiato is to die for. 

  Oreo Cheese Cake ~ Nothing special at all since ever I've tasted the Oreo cake at PH Pastry.

Bonjour Garden @ Kota Damansara

 They have their own bakery.

You can choose to sit out here or indoors with air-cond. I chose to sit indoor, was feeling hot from going so many rounds to find parking. This place is terrible it is really hard to find a parking spot, i round more than 5 rounds. I was getting fed up and finally a car came out and nobody is snatching for it. Thank God!

  Scrambled Eggs with Toast added Button Mushrooms and Ham ~ The eggs are not bad, ham a lil salty, mushroom tasted weird, they cooked it with some green vege. I do not like.

  Harumacha ~ Green Tea ice cream with red bean filling, compliment with White Choc mousse and sponge base. The green tea filling is in the middle of the mousse, the white mousse is super good, i cannot get enough of it but the sponge at the base spoiled it, the Harumacha would have been perfect if it is fully mousse.

I quickly finish my cake because some asshole sitting behind me was annoying me. He was snorting loudly a couple of time, so rude right. Go back to kampung la you rude immature disgusting idiot boy. I ordered another cake and sat somewhere else.

 Help yourself to free water.

  Kuai Lan fishes, they keep swimming away when i tried to take their picture.

 Tiramisu ~ Coffee sponge with Mascaporne cheese. Mmm i like the soft cheese and the whipped cream on top.

Winter Lover Bakery House @ The Strand, Kota Damansara

Second trip to this cozy lil cafe, the mille crepe cakes are too die for... I dont know why people would rather or even bother to go to Nadeje. Just because it's a branch out from Malacca does not mean that it is nice. 

 Beautiful Flower Series ~ Im sure that you think i ordered this, i actually suggested the relaxing series but fei yan chose this. I guess even guys want to be beautiful :D

Mille Crepe: Original on the left & Tiramisu on the right ~ Original is really good, you can taste the rich vanilla, cake is smooth, soft but firm at the same time. Tiramisu was okay.

Macaroons:  Tiramisu ~ me no likey, the cookies & cream is not a bad attempt.

 There is 2 section ~ you can sit on the floor or you can sit on the high chairs, i like the floor.

 It has been a long time since I have seen these kiddie sweet - 20 cent only.

Salad ~ Fei Yan said this is good.

  Egg Sandwich ~ I really like the mayonnaise, it is different from the others that i have tasted before, not too sour a lil creamy.

 Spaghetti Bolognese ~ This is fairly good although a lil too small portioned. 

  Macaroons ~ I like the rum & mocha. The dessert in this shop are mostly a mixture of 2 flavors.

  Tiramisu & Green Tea Crepe Cake ~ I like the how they draw the camera using chocolate powder, the cake tasted weird, i dont know what i was eating I didnt taste much of the green tea only tiramisu.
