Wafflemeister

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you WAFFLES from Wafflemeister.

Wafflemeister is a Belgian waffle joint that has recently opened up a kiosk at KLCC 3rd floor. They have a considerably small option of waffles available but I can guarantee you, they are all you need to satisfy your waffle cravings. You can even choose between dark, milk or white chocolate for the sauce you want to top your waffles with. They even have an option of serving Gelato (Italian ice cream) on top of your waffles or if you prefer, have the Gelato alone.

I for one am a huge fan of Gelato but seeing as it was my first time trying their waffles, I decided to try the waffle without any Gelato so as to not cloud my judgement of the waffles because anything with Gelato, me likey.

The waffle I ordered was their Strawberry Heaven with comes with whipped cream, strawberries and dark chocolate sauce and my mom ordered their Go Bananas which has whipped cream, bananas, nuts and dark chocolate sauce.

I must say, their waffles are definitely delicious. The waffles themselves are crispy on the outside and chewy and soft on the inside. The whipped cream has a nice consistency and is not too sweet. The strawberries are fresh and juicy and not too sour. The dark chocolate sauce is an excellent addition to top the waffles off with. A little note though, the utensils they provide you are made of plastic, so using them to eat the waffles can be quite a challenge.

I also ordered their hot Mocha (right) and my mom ordered their hot Cappuccino (left). The coffees come without sugar so if you prefer your coffee sweet, do grab some sugar from their counter. I love how they added the little chef designs with cocoa powder. The coffees are aromatic but the taste is average, just like how coffee is suppose to taste like. I didn't add enough sugar in my Mocha so I didn't really like how bland it tasted without the sugar.

In a nutshell, I do recommend going over to Wafflemeister to try out their waffles because they are simply awesome. I would love to go back again to try their Gelato. The staff is friendly and their service is pretty fast too. A little warning though, they have VERY limited seats since it's a kiosk, so do find the right time to dine in, if not just pack it to eat at home or anywhere else.

Gerai, The Food Loft

Majority of college and university students have a common problem when it comes to deciding where to eat for lunch. I, on the other hand am no exception to that. But recently I’ve found this place called Gerai, The Food Loft that serves authentic local cuisines and drinks. The restaurant itself is located at CentrePoint Bandar Utama. The price of the food is reasonable and most of all, they taste really good. 3 main reasons why I’m drawn towards the place would be its environment, customer service and most of all, the taste and presentation of the food.

One of their specialties is their famous Butter Chicken Rice. The smell of the dish is so inviting and the presentation itself just makes you want to eat it even more. The texture of the butter sauce is very well balanced and does not overwhelmed the whole dish.

Next up would be their Steam Chicken Rice. The chicken meat is not like any other chicken meat that you eat in hawker stalls, nooo. This is way juicer and tender. The soy sauce under the bed of bean sprouts is not overwhelmingly salty. And the rice, the rice is so fragrant that the whole restaurant could smell it.

A Taste of Korea at Oiso

Oiso is a casual eatery that serves home-style Korean food cooked to the family recipes of owner Kim Young Jun. Unlike the more common Korean barbecue, little cooking is done table-side save perhaps for the stirring of the delicious bibimbap (RM14.90) – rice in a red-hot stone bowl together with vegetables, egg, beef, seaweed and red pepper paste (aka gochujang).

Oiso means ‘ welcome’ in Korean. The owner of this restaurant, Kim has lived in Malaysia for 10 years already and she used to be a bowling instructor. She has two outlets now at Ikano Power Centre and at Bangsar South.

Do try out this restaurant if you want to try sould-satisfying Korean food at a very reasonable price.

Snowflakes

Snowflakes is a Taiwanese desert that has many varieties in flavor. It is a very interesting delicacy. My sister was actually the first to try this Taiwanese desert. When she told me about it at first I was a bit skeptical on trying it, but as I was passing by the shop one day I decided to try it, and it was so scrumptious I could not believe how good it tasted.

My ultimate favorites to have at snowflakes are the best seller and the amber jelly. This is because they are extremely cooling, especially during a hot day. Snowflakes is currently one of the most popular dessert courses nowadays. What I love most about snowflakes are the many different types of flavors. So when you are caught in a hot day and want something to cool you down, go on and grab snowflakes it will be worth the trip and money.
