    Before i begin, as you can tell from the photos, the presentation was ON POINT! Each dishes were presented so elegantly and detailed, giving diners a good impression and high expectation on the flavours. We absolutely loved all the items by Nara.

   The Nara's Donburi was perfectly done, with smart combinations of Japanese flavours, creating a sweet and savoury rice bowl that will make you come back for more. Brilliant Breakfast Pudding was healthy, sweet and beautifully decorated. I would prefer the addition of citrus fruits such as berries so that the acidity may balance up the sweetness of this dish. Lastly, our Fancy French Toast was beautifully done. Brioche was soft and fragrant, peaches were poached to perfection in consistency and taste. The unique flavour of Earl Grey Lavender added a few more cookie points to this common cafe dish. However, the coffee drinks here did not manage to impress, mostly due to the mildly roasted beans and lacking in flavours.

   After my 2 visits to Nara's, i can truly say that this is the place to be if you are looking for some new vibes and healthy food in your next cafe hopping journey. Despite being a tad pricier than the standard cafes, Nara is not to be missed, as it promises good food with relaxing ambiance. To all obssessed Instagrammers like me, make this cafe your next visit and i am sure your camera lens will be happy as well. Hope you enjoyed today's update, have a great day ahead! xoxo

   I've always known Klang as the BKT Haven, maybe cheap chinese food, but never strikes me as a cafe place, until i found out about this lovely hide out in the center of Klang, called C U Latte. I'm not sure it i was supposed to pronounced the cafe name as 'see you later', but i guess that's for you to find out. Anyway, today's write up is all about C U Latte in Bandar Baru Klang. I recently discovered this little cafe by accident, when i visited the KPJ Hospital nearby. I was hungry for some good breakfast set and this cafe was exactly the thing i needed the most at the moment.


    Located at the business district of Bandar Baru Klang, C U Latte can be easily found at the end of the road. This is also the only cafe i know in Klang that not only makes their own coffee, but also took the extra miles to roast their own coffee beans. Owner Cheong Foh is also one of the many well known coffee makers in Malaysia. From all these information, i was quite convinced that the coffee here would not disappoint.

Breakfast Set Menu (8.30am-10am Daily)

     We were just in time to grab their value for money breakfast set. My mom and i got the Classic Local Breakfast Set and Tuna Sandwich Set. Each sets differs in prices but all comes with a complimentary coffee of either long black or Klang Coffee. According to the boss (i supposed), Klang Coffee is something similar to local Kopi-O, self-roasted by the cafe, with addition of butter and sugar for extra richness. You can always upgrade your breakfast set to different breads and milk based coffee, with extra charges.

Long Black

Add-on Cappucino--RM 2

Local Breakfast Set--RM 7.50 Toasts served with homemade kaya (coconut jam) and butter, with 2 soft-boiled eggs.

Tuna Sandwich Set--RM 12 Tuna spread sandwiched in between muesli bread and served with salad.

   Firstly, i have to admit, these breakfast sets were not only value for money, but tasted delicious as well. The local breakfast set's kaya was the favourite part of the dish. They are generous with the serving and i just adore how fragrant and smooth was the kaya spread. Tuna sandwich was well done too, with the addition of celery and onion, giving the tuna spread a better consistency. Both of our long black and cappucino were amazing as well. The coffee was almost medium-dark-roasted. It was bitter but fruity at the same time. Cappucino was smooth and delicate. Overall, a pleasant dining experience here.

   I would strongly recommend the neighbourhood folks to give this a try for their wonderful coffee, delicious food and excellent service. I have personally returned a few times for their coffee and it was worth it. Hope you enjoyed this post, have a wonderful week ahead!

   I have a confession to make. I believe many of you share the same problem as me. I ADORE snacks. Yes, i can eat snacks all day every day, even though i know they are bad for health and maintaining the perfect body shape. No rice? No meat? All is cool as long as i get to eat my favourite ice-cream, soft serve, cakes, desserts and perhaps chips. As a medical professional, i have to force myself to live a healthy lifestyle so that i can be a good example to my patients. Hence, i'll eat clean for 6 days and have a cheat day (maybe more) to myself where i can eat all the snacks i want. Today, i want to share with you some of my all-time-favourite-snacks--pies and soft-serve.

 A Pie Thing

   I was never a fan of pie until recently when i tried out A Pie Thing. I used to think pies are heavy, fattening, too buttery and boring, until i went to the popular pie place in PJ--A Pie Thing. I used my WorthyBook coupon to get 30% off my total bill as well as getting a free Matcha Latte. Such a fantastic deal right? I visited the main branch in PJ Uptown. They have another branch in Bandar Sunway, with different business hours but carrying similar products.

The menu

Sweet pie selections

Savoury pies selection

   As its name suggests, A Pie Thing specialises in making delicious pies, both sweet and savoury. Their main specialty is their Mashacre, which is basically any savoury pie, topped with mashed potato, mashed green peas and drizzled with homemade gravy. I was so tempted to get that one but too bad, mommy and i definitely couldn't stomach the entire thing. Hence, we got ourselves one sweet pie--Dark Smores Pie; a savoury pie--Chunky Steak and got ourselves a cup of complimentary green tea latte.

Dark Smores Pie--RM 10.50 Crunchy pie base, rich and decadent chocolate ganache, topped with toasted mini marshmallows.

Chunky Steak--RM 12.90 Pieces of beef with carrots in a tomato base, wrapped within a layer of buttery and flaky pie crust.

Green Tea Latte at the corner.

    My usual impression about pie was excessive butter, boring and lack of creativity. However, this place took me by surprise and showcased a variety of different flavours and interpretation of pie making. I was totally impressed with the concept, especially the huge Mashacre. My personal favourite has to be the Dark Smores Pie, mainly because of the complexity of flavours and texture i got from this little fella. The crust was crispy but not too buttery, chocolate was rich, smooth, silky but not too sweet, the mini marshmallows were toasted to perfection with a slight crisp on top but maintains the soft and chewy texture inside. Chunky Steak was also a great pie with chunks of beef, cooked and flavoured just right. Green tea latte was not too bad as well, but nothing beats my dearest Nana's.

    Since my first visit here, i kept going back for more of its wonderful pies. If you are looking for a light bite over some conversation with loved ones, this casual cafe is the perfect choice for you. Be sure to check out the different operating hours for PJ Uptown and Bandar Sunway's branches.

P.S. Tokyo

    If there is a single dessert trend that won't go off, it has got to be the legendary green tea. Matcha craze doesn't seems to go off even though it has already been so commercialized in many cafes. Perhaps it is matcha's unique bittersweet flavour that keeps people coming back for more. P.S. Tokyo is a popular hit in SS2 PJ, famous for its green tea soft serve. I tried out their matcha and hojicha flavours, one in full size, another in mini cup.

Matcha and hojicha soft serve--RM 9.90 and RM 6.90

For Instagram lovers out  there~

   I have to say, for the price we are paying, the serving is so huge! It is almost double the size of a standard soft serve. I prefer the hojicha (roasted tea) simply because the unique balanced between bitter and sweet. Matcha one was a little bit too sweet for me, as i prefer my matcha soft serve to be more bitter than sweet. Nevertheless, i do like the creaminess and richness of this cooling dessert. P.S. Tokyo also offers free photo printing for Instagrammers out there. Firstly, you have to make your Instagram profile public, so that it is visible, and hash tag #pstokyo, follow the simple instruction at the computer provided in the shop and you will get a photo instantly. I saw some of them clip on their photos on the wall provided, creating an interactive and interesting atmosphere.

   Besides these two flavours, P.S. Tokyo also has an interesting array of new soft serve flavours lining up. They have milk and Berry Calpico flavours. If you are a soft serve lover like me, be sure to give this cafe a try! That's all for today's update, i hope you enjoyed my write up. Stay tuned for more! Have a great weekend ahead! xoxo
