LOVE LIFE, CHERISH MOMENTS

   The Replacement Lodge & Kitchen is Edward's second project, after the Faculty of Caffeine. This second project aims to be a comfortable hub offering bread and breakfast for young people visiting JB, hence the name lodge & kitchen. Lodge is still under construction, however the kitchen is fully running, providing some Australian-inspired brunch dishes. The Replacement is located on Jalan Dhoby, in JB's Chinatown. It can be easily seen as a corner lot unit, painted in all crisply clean white. Parking can be a problem here because of the jam packed crowds and old roads.

Friendly Eggs Benny (smoked salmon)--RM 24.90 Classic with a twist: poached eggs, buttery spinach and Hollandaise sauce on fluffy English muffins. Toppings with either smoked salmon, beef pastrami or sauteed portobello mushroom.

Original Churros--RM12.90 Traditional crunchy churros dusted with cinnamon and fine granulated sugar, served with homemade dark chocolate ganache.

Cappucino--RM 10

Flatlay of the day~

     Eggs Benny here was decent and simple, spinach and holladaise sauce were rich and creamy. I was hoping for more twist and excitement from this popular cafe dish but was a little disappointed. However, the classic churros saved the day by being perfect in every ways. The churros were crispy on the outside, soft and doughy inside. Cinnamon sugar was generously coated and goes well with the churros. This was the best churros i've ever tasted! If there were something to picked on, i would prefer the chocolate ganache to come in a larger portion. Coffee was milky and good.

    Overall, Mr. J and i had a great time here in The Replacement. It is a great place for brunch, hang outs and photography. If you happen to be in JB, feel free to give them a visit!

   I am always someone who adore art and appreciate simple living. As much as i love food, my love for photography is what get me started on this blogging journey. I used to be a portrait-enthusiast, but thanks to my dear architect friend, Ms Zheng, i developed some twinkle in architecture, design and nature as well. On my last trip to JB with Mr. J, we came across this unique and artsy space recommended by our senior, Edward, who happens to be the owner of The Replacement Lodge & Kitchen which i'm going to write about soon. Edward said that the view from this cafe is spectacular, especially during the evening. Hence, we traveled towards Danga Bay area, overlooking the Terbrau coast, in search of this well hidden gem--Sea & Saw.



    It was no joke looking for this particular cafe called Sea & Saw. Located off Jalan Straits View at Danga Bay area, we had to make a few turns before we found it. I would advise my dear readers that wish to try out this cafe to look for a Korean restaurant along Jalan Straits View if you are travelling from the old JB center. After you see the Korean restaurant on your left, Sea & Saw will be less than 500m on your left, with a tiny arrow with its name on it. Nevertheless, it is gonna be worth the effort because this find is more than awesome!

Passionfruit Smoothie--RM 10.90+

Green Tea Pie--RM 12.90+

     The passionfruit smoothie we had was just the thing we need in a scorching hot Malaysian evening. It was refreshing, icy cold and with just the right amount of sugary goodness. I can also taste the real passion fruit seeds in the smoothie. Green tea pie was another great dessert as well. Matcha flavour was very intense, rich and pie crust was buttery and flaky. However, it would be perfect if the sugar level was reduced about 30%.

Mr. J

   Even when the night falls, one can enjoy the sunset and sea breeze with the outside seats facing the coastal line. Overall, we were very impressed with Sea & Saw's concept, decor, architecture, design, food, drinks, service and their unique free spirit. For those who are planning to visit JB in the future, i highly recommend this wonderful cafe for a relaxing afternoon out. They also serve warm food and coffee! Make sure you take some nice photos and show me on Instagram @lovelifecherishmoments. Good day!
